RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa post match thread.

[Risso]

Was the linesman crying at the full whistle?

Something was going on.

Looked like it, ref gave him a big hug after.

[garyellis]

Made hard work of a very ordinary opposition.

Daft mistakes yes but football wise miles ahead.l

[PaulWinch again]

I don’t think we defended poorly overall, lots of it was good, particularly in the first half. But there were a couple of ridiculous lapses in concentration.

[PaulTheVillan]

Thank f**k for that. Horrible at times at the back.

Referee was good.

[Monty]

At their best, in theory, we have four central defenders. At present, on form, we have one, and he wasn't playing.

Ah well. On the ball, crisper than we've been in ages. Clearly deserved the win, and that's 3 in a row now.

[Risso]

Great result. Made it far harder than it needed to be. Some sloppy finishing but even worse defending.

[Nev]

Great win, played some great stuff but I've had enough of Carlos, one good game in every 5 or so is not up to standard and we continually look shaky when he is in the side.

Rogers was slightly frustrating but still contributed. SJM and Tielemans brilliant which bodes well.

We played very well at times and it felt like the Emery Villa that we've enjoyed so much.

[Smithy]

Great to win away in Germany, but honestly, we should have been well clear by half time. I lose count of the good shooting positions we found around their box without working the keeper.

The two disallowed goals wouldn’t have flattered us at 5-2.

One more win and we’re in the knockouts!

[VillaTim]

Mings cannot come back soon enough.

Starting Saturday , Konsa back in middle with Mings , Cash RB and drop Torres / Carlos

[Somniloquism]

I was surprised it was Carlos instead of Mings in the centre of the three.

[TopDeck113]

I still think we need a minumum of four points for top eight.

[Chip Butty 111]

2 massive games now, Monaco are a very decent side and Celtic will need a win...cut out the stupidity at the back and we are top 8

[itbrvilla]

I've got a feeling 8th place will need more than the models predicted. I reckon 17 points

[Demitri_C]

Mings cannot come back soon enough.

Starting Saturday , Konsa back in middle with Mings , Cash RB and drop Torres / Carlos

Thats what i would go for

[Dave]

I think there are good arguments for pretty much any central defensive partnership, but I feel that the "we need Mings back so we don't make catastrophic defensive errors in a crucial Champions League away game" arguments seem to be forgetting their recent history.
