I wonder if it might help bringing Rogers back deeper and more centrally. It sounds like we're struggling to play on the half turn in midfield.

We can question if people should be booing, but with so many paying £71-£82 for this it's hard to blame them.

Its not just a question of the money, Villa are looking at surrendering a golden opportunity of being top 3, it really wouldn't be hard to be in the top 3 as we close the season out, we had a fantastic points  lead over the teams behind us, relatively easy fixtures and what do we do?.

The players need to remind themselves how we became so strong at Villa Park because right now it's like they just expect us to win because of the record. Leeds, as limited as they are, want it more and it shows all over the park.

Can't believe how slow Watkins was to react to the chance at the end of the first half.

Leeds are a physical side, if not much else and Mings has handled DCL well most times he's played him previously.

Pau needs to improve when it comes to physical duels - as the manager has said himself numerous times now.

If he was better at that he'd prob be a guaranteed first team pick.

But he's not and subsequently isn't.

Both Bailey and Buendia need to show Unai was right not to hook either of them at HT.
