Leeds United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

What we're doing in fourth after that start to the season I've no idea. Well in, Villa.

If we'd started playing prior to October, we'd be top by now.

Arsenal playing Chelsea next week. So if we can beat Wolves, we'd close in on at least one of them.

Winning the next 3 sets us up nicely for Arsenal.

Winning away from home while not being great is brilliant. Rogers will get MOM and it can’t be argued with. But, and there is a big but, he was mostly average and a liability when not. He won us the game mind so I shouldn’t complain but I support the Villa and strive for nothing but excellence from our team.

[PeterWithesShin]

Rogers is that unique type that can be average, or even cack, for 80 mins, and in that other 10 win you the game. He's still pretty young and inexperienced at this level so I expect more consistency to kick in over time.

[SamTheMouse]

I'll take him being cack for most of the game if he pops up with two goals.

I actually think he loses possession more than anyone else because he's the one trying things, and he's doing that because Emery's specifically told him to, and not to worry if things don't always come off.

No one else in our squad - or the entire league, has a similar mix of balance, strength and ability on the ball. He managed to shrug-off Ampadu late-on in our right-back area where most players would have been too physically weak to emerge with the ball without fouling.

Collymore in his pomp is still the only comparison that comes to mind. Thankfully we're seeing Morgz' best days after having the worst of Stan's.

That really was awful from Martinez for their goal. Only saw it now. Was a lot braver in the air late on.

It wasn't great but I'm amazed it wasn't given as a foul

[cdbearsfan]

Not a foul for me, though obviously would have been if the goalkeeper had a shitey little devil on his badge.

[PeterWithesShin]

Not a foul for me either.

[Meanwood Villa]

Oh aye, I don't think it was a foul but when does anyone get away with touching the keeper?

[paul_e]

You see that sort of contact on the keeper given as a foul then vast majority of the time so while he could've been stronger I do think he felt the player lean into him and expected the customary free kick.
