Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds Post match grumble

[Pat McMahon]

The positives for me today were Cash, Barkley and to some extent Sancho, who I have never rated but has improved of late.

We were very ponderous in the first half and we looked much better when we played with more tempo after Barkley played centre midfield. We are still hesitant at times and don’t get our crosses and shots away quickly enough - their keeper barely had to make a save.

I presume Mings played to help negate Calvert Lewin as he caused loads of problems against Torres and Konsa last season, and he was the best forward on the pitch today. He gave Konsa more problems than anybody I can think of this season other than Mateta.

Spoke to a good number of Leeds fans today and they were all very friendly and amenable.

The camera panned to Youri during the second half, chatting to his mate. Good to know he's at the games. Darren Bent went to Brent shopping centre when he was out.
