Leeds United vs Aston Villa Pre-Match

[CT Villan]

We should win this one but we are the very definition of inconsistency and not good against physical teams, so I don't have a clue.

According to their fans they won the European Cup in 1975.

Before my time but I've watched the highlights a couple of times on YT and they were robbed. Some scandalous refereeing decisions.

Weren't they quite hard done by in the Champions League as well?

Which is a massive shame, obviously.

Yep, almost as scandalous as the Jeff Astle goal in 1971.

Did I just say scandalous? I meant hilarious

1-2 win for villa

Tight one to predict - I watched the Leicester Leeds game Sat and to be fair, Leeds looked transformed from Bielsa ball - the press was still present but it was as strong without the ball as with it which was Bielsa's downfall. Leeds should have won based on chances.

That said, our confidence should be high as well. What I dont like is that our midfield remains light and the press will expose that.

Not sure how this ends but I think it will be a very different game than the 3-3 at VP

They are pressing with the ball?
I think I might have spotted the problem.

2-1 defeat. We are the epitome of in inconsistent at the moment and think that will continue

[Damo70]

I think Leeds will need a while to get used to the departure of Bielsa and the new boss is untried in the Premier League. I hate to tempt fate but I think it is a good time to play Leeds.

Think it will be similar to the home game - after a professional start by both teams we'll get pulled into a more gung-ho game.

Score draw, maybe 2-2. (though I have voted for a leeds win)

When was the last time we won 3 on the bounce?

When was the last time we won 3 on the bounce?

If you're counting cup games then it was the first 3 games of last season. In the league it was when we had that 10 game winning run when we got promoted

[eamonn]

And the last 3 in a row in the Preeemier League? Not some O'Neill or Gregory record, is it?

Can't be arsed to check but it must be under mon at the very worst.

It was 2010

Portsmouth away 2-1
Hull away 2-0
Blues home 1-0

[charlatan]

Surely we won our first four PL games last season?

1-0 v Sheff U
3-0 @ Fulham
7-2 v Liverpool
1-0 @ Leicester

Including League Cup games, we had a four game run up to and including the Fulham match, but then lost at Stoke.
