The result Sunday does not help our cause.
They are a very aggressive dirty bunch of **** and we know what to expect. Just hope the manager and players are prepared for it.

That is the problem though, Villa are never prepared for anything!  >:(

Sanson was bang average as per.

Bailey could have finished his goal.

Sanson took it wider to the right before shooting. Bailey would have cut in to his left, tried to beat at least two defenders and then lost the ball.

Wasn't in the corner though I fancy Olsen might have saved it.

I thought so too, but that still made him our best player. I don’t really see what he brings beyond tidiness though, whereas with many of the players he outperformed and who were dreadful on Sunday, at least you know what they bring if they’re on it.

I would love it if we rammed Ted Lasso's "Villa are boring" comment down his twattish throat.

I really hope our lot are ashamed and hurting from Sunday - they need a rip roaring performance not the tepid tippy tappy bullshit we saw on Sunday.

                            Martinez

Young         Konsa          Mings          Digne (Assume new guy not available)

                        Luiz        Kamara

Ramsay               Coutinhio                Bailey

                          Watkins

3-1  (Watkins, Ramsay, Bailey)

He had a point on that occasion to be fair. Marsch is a discourteous man though, generally.

Leeds United are winless in their last six games across all competitions (D3, L3).

They have only won two of their last fifteen games across all competitions.

Hello Aston Villa.

Hello Aston Villa.

Do they have a striker that needs to break a duck/drought/record? If so, he's playing the right team.

I don't understand the amount negativity around. Unai Emerys PL record is as good as anyone we've had in his first 5 PL games. I think he now knows that our squad needs an overhaul as our fringe players have fucked up badly in both Cup competitions and he will start to address that in the coming months. I think we will blow Leeds away on Friday.

Need to win this one, 4 points should be the minimum from Wolves and these knobs at VP.

It could only be even more Aston Villa if we managed to start Moreno and he gets injured and is out for the season.
