Leeds vs Aston Villa match thread

Yep, even though the midfield looks considerably poorer with Nakamba, Ramsey and El Ghazi in it, almost Championship like, it sends a message out and Luiz and Barkley have been very poor for the last 5 or so games.

Dean sent out the message in his pre game interview when he said he had left out Luiz and Barkley because he wanted "more energy". In Barkley's case after his last game you could translate more energy into "more effort".

I have a feeling that John McGinn is going to score today.

They may be getting Sanson used to the pace of the game here and not want to put too much pressure on him yet.

Barkley and luiz can have no complaints. Good luck to the 2 lads coming in. I can see Villa playing with 1dcm with McGinn and Ramsey playing further forward (Nakamba playing closer to the cbs and providing more support to them).
For me Sanson needs to come on ahead of Barkley, but if Ross comes on I hope he makes a difference and gets a goal. UTV!

I want to see us taking the game to the opposition today. We've been on the back foot too much lately.

Harrison not playing for them - is that good?

Yes he’s one of their best players and would’ve been up against Elmo.

Great news.

[Drummond]

Nearly ready... Just had a beer delivery from a local pub... Come on Villa!

[darren woolley]

Come on Villa.

Not to worry. I'm sure he will come on in the 75th once Elmo is knackered to zip past him

Let’s settle down and admire the latest step in Leeds quest to become champions of the world.

Not impressed with that line up. Either one of El Ghazi or Traore, but not both. Piss weak midfield. Long evening ahead.

Probably a game to watch with the volume down.
The Leeds wankfest has been going all through the buildup and will continue throughout the game..........until we start beating the fuckers.

I’m quite excited about that line up, I never expected this sort of changes from Smith.

So it will continue throughout the whole game then?

I fear this is going to be a proper decoration job.
