Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds Post match grumble

[Woody17]

A point. At home. To a poor Leeds team.

They’ve not been bad away from home lately, and we’ve been poor at home.
I was worried about this fixture.
A late equaliser, and Chelsea drawing isn’t too bad a day for us.
If we can get SJM back soon we could have a decent run in still.

[Toronto Villa]

Martinez wasn’t a 5. At least a 7. The goal was brilliant and while his starting position might have been better the positioning of the shot was superb. But Martinez rescued us later. Without him we lose that game.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We need to change the way we play with our injuries in midfield.

Playing two midfielders to replace our three injured diamonds, we're just too weak in midfield now and it shows, every bloody game.

[PhilVill]

Bailey and Watkins were absolute crap, Watkins has been pretty much all season and Roma will have been overjoyed we took Bailey back. Tammy and Sancho start, simple as, Barkley needs more of a role too going forward. Manager needs a kick up the arse too

[brontebilly]

Onana has gotten off lightly btw. Anybody else notice how half-arsed he looked today?

Just today? Salzburg, Brighton...he's a fraud

No keeper should be beaten from there

[Grande Pablo]

Not great.  We huffed and puffed in the 2nd half and probably just about deserved the point.  Baily woeful.  Luiz is the frustrating Luiz in the 6 months before he was sold as opposed to the creative, aggressive player we had before that.

Special marks for the Cockney knob end on whichever feed I was watching suggesting Rogers has 'been off the boil'.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Down on form and confidence and missing 3 key players, we kept going and got a deserved equaliser against a well organised defence.

Barkley, Sancho and Tammy should all start next week.

[Mellin]

Yeah, I was going gentle. To be honest, if one of the clubs is so desperately wants to join are interested in the summer...crack on, mate.

[KevinGage]

If Forest beat Liverpool I'll take the point. Even a draw. If Liverpool win it's another costly fuck up.

Onana has gotten off lightly btw. Anybody else notice how half-arsed he looked today?

Indeed. We've needed leadership in there since the loss of out three best midfielders and he's offered zip.

Good energy and poses a physical threat when he's on it. But he's on it nowhere near enough. Even when he makes it out on to the pitch, which is by no means a given.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

We must start with Tammy against Wulves!  Couldn't understand why Buendia was on for so long: he kept getting knocked over by the Leeds midfield

[devilla]

I said before kick off that Tammy should've started. Watkins was as shit as he I thought he would be.

It wasn't just him though, there were terrible performances all over the pitch. Special mention for Bailey who was diabolical.

We've got away with one today, I just hope they learn from it

[SaddVillan]

Bonus point in the end after Chelsea fluffed their lines.

Really poor performance again. Barkley and Sancho improved us greatly. I don't want to see Bailey start again. He was a disgrace.

We need to change the way we play with our injuries in midfield.

Some of the supporting cast need to step up if we are to start winning again, (Onana, Buendia, Maatsen, Bailey, Sancho). I think they are content to play safe and wait for someon else to di it.

I said last week that we may just limp to 5th Place as Chelsea have the hardest run in, (I didn't bank on them drawing with Burnely). However we have to improve drastically, as I dont see us beating anyone the way we are playing lately.

Chelsea’s next 6 opponents: Arsenal, Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United.

We MUST earn more points than them over our next 6.

[PaulTheVillan]

Thought Cash was the only player who started who had a decent game.

Tammy has to start v Wolves.

Luiz and Onana don’t seem to be a good combination, but we’re stuck for the time being.

Emery needs to change something, somehow. We’re becoming very predictable.

[Woody17]

We can match what Chelsea do from here on in points wise, and we’ve got a six point head start. It sounds much better when it’s put like that I think.
