I bet you guys are hoping we beat Burnley tonight.
I remember some of you saying, we would never root for Villa, hmmm interesting thought.
Excellent win last night by the way.

17 Dec 2020 17:04:56
Dont care as neither us or Burnley will be relegation battle
Heard your club leg end again today, wat a clown, talks utter garbage,

17 Dec 2020 17:12:44
Not really VD prefer a draw.

17 Dec 2020 17:33:35
Draw all the way for me!

17 Dec 2020 17:37:44
Err actually no VD as have the Villa down to be one of the bottom 3 bankers come end of season 😀

And especially after the FA deduct from Villa the same number of disqualification points on Grealish ' driving 'licence for setting an appalling example and bringing the game into disrepute 😀

Seriously though what is going on with Grealish? He is trawling your club through the sewers with endless bad press and disrepute.

Are villa playing tonight. didn’t notice . obviously couldn’t care less.

17 Dec 2020 20:11:58
Villa, Villa. Oh yeah, that team we destroyed 0-3 weren't they? I think that was an even better victory than last night's. Both a 3 goal margin though.

17 Dec 2020 20:58:41
All quiet (unsurprisingly) on the Villa VD front 😀.

We all love Leeds we all love leeds we all love Leeds.

I wonder if Gary Monk received his pay-off when he left the Wendies?

Great three points but a very strange game. Just before we equalised for the first time I had just written 'excellent in the middle third very average/ poor in the other two thirds' We scored a good goal to go in front then reverted to type to lose the lead again. I was wondering towards the end whether their the virus problems had caught up with them. When Alioski we outnumbered them 3 -1 in and around their penalty spot. That doesn't happen a lot. I Still didn't feel comfortable until the fourth goal went in. They could always get a corner. Overall team performance was very good although Cooper again made some serious mistakes which he was lucky to get away with and Klich looked a bit out of sorts. Odd mistakes by most of the team here and there but very entertaining to watch. Why Roberts is brought on I do not know. Its time one of the youngsters stepped into his place and he worked at getting his act together.

17 Dec 2020 19:23:35
Think Roberts is 21 so I’d regard him as youngster.

Firstly I was a bit surprised same line up.
Then it was same old story. Good press but players guilty of woeful finishing. Then once again same old story. The defending from corners and set pieces was woeful and we were punished. To be honest. At 2-2 I thought it was anybody's game. At that point it was still all same old story. I think Pablo made a difference but I also think Bruce's subs were wrong time too and they still went for it. Good on them. Thank you.
Finally they played into our laps and were punished.
Pleased diff players scored tonight and it will do us good and lift us for Man Utd at weekend.
Pleased with Rodrigo Ralph ayling Dallas Bamford and Harrison.
Kp was bossed tonight. Klich hasn't been good for a while and cooper and goalie were awful. Goalie needs to start bloody catching the ball.
I'm wondering if Pablo and rods can start and rest klich. I can see a red coming for him.
At the end I was happy and relieved. Well done most of them.
3 points and some good goals.

17 Dec 2020 07:54:45
I agree Aus, good write up. Klich is worryingly poor at the moment and i thought KP seemed leggy and off a yard, the passing was woeful too on occasions, but hey we won with different scorers so not moaning lol.

17 Dec 2020 08:21:14
Thought styling was far more at fault for their goals than coops. Albeit coops had a few other shaky moments that could have cost us and Ayling was otherwise excellent. Klich gets through a mountain of work - no way we can have both pans and rod on at the same time unless one of paddy raph or Harrison is sacrificed. Before last night I would have said Harrison but hopefully that signals and timely return to form. Also think Pablo is a 2nd half or last 30 minutes man now (but brilliant at it whether chasing a game or putting it to bed) . It is why he was so effective post lockdown.

17 Dec 2020 09:21:41
I must have been watching a different game to you Aus, apart from some woeful defending (which is to be expected when Koch and Llorente are injured and we have to rely on Cooper) , I thought it was a pleasure to watch (nervy at times) , but we controlled the game, and if Darlow hadn't have been so good, we could have had 4 in the first half, so I think its a bit strong to say woeful finishing! I also don't believe Philips was 'Bossed' at all and had a great game.
I may have been more drunk than you, but I am very happy with the performance and of course, the result!

17 Dec 2020 09:30:27
Great post aus

Glad you thought kp was bossed as I was starting to think I was mad and only one who saw it. Kp has two sides Everton he was a god he was allowed time and space and was man of the match and true quailty but Everton let him play. Last night was less about football and more physical and that doesn’t suit kp. The biggest example of this was ahasin Fulham kp bossed the game Parker made a sub and kp fell apart and cost us two goals. My question is, is there a way around this? A formation that protects kp so we only get the good or do we pick and chose his games better so he plays the better games


Set plays is beyound a joke now, we have to score great goals and break teams down they just need a high ball

Finally we must mention var we have all rightly moan when it cost us last night they made a mistake cooper gave away a pen so it did us a favour

Loved the football last night but it did nothing to change my mind or ease my woes long term.

17 Dec 2020 09:30:29
Players form does peak and trough throughout the season, even world class players like De Bruyne. Klich will get through it, his frustration is very visible.

17 Dec 2020 10:04:44
I watched game at 6am before work midfield. I rest my case.
Don’t think it was a penalty to be honest.

17 Dec 2020 10:46:29
it was stone wall pen, everyone said it was a pen. end of the day like Bamford offside and koch pen against Liverpool (which were also wrong decions) it don't count but think as leeds fans we are happy to play the poor us card. and rightly so but we need to admit when we were lucky. last night Cooper was very very lucky.

17 Dec 2020 11:29:40
I think he touched ball first tbh and not enough contact.
Not as obvious as prov penalty.
As commentator said. If you give that as a penalty then it was handball too.
