Aston Villa - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

Coulda.....shoulda......woulda....Oz. It goes for all games all sports. If he would have scored etc it would have been a different game, would it? Who knows.
We are all celebrating not only a win but a great footballing win, pure pleasure to watch and most on here have seen some utter disgraceful performances over the years, it is just brilliant to see us playing like we are, already a long time proud LUFC fan, this has brought me to a new level after being in another low level not that long back. Let’s just enjoy being LEEDS UNITED fans, my God we’ve earned it.

More than happy m8 for every downer these ones lift you up. Just having some fun with others for a CHANGE as I'm sure everyone is happy as. Like you say sport is a sport and we know the best team doesn't aLWAYS WIN.

Was working last night, so only just catching up on the forum! Loving the Abuse my boy Bamford was getting 1st half! really pleased for him, works his bollox off for the Bielsa system, deserves the accolades. Told you all Villa were crap, we could win this league.
Good to see Oz taking it like a man, nice to see us all getting along for a change! Further comment once ive seen the highlights!
Should mention also, if our second team can do this, our first team would smash 7 past em!

In all the euphoria we should spare a thought for Pat Struijk. Bielsa was spot on on taking him off but I really felt for him. The camera dwelled a bit too long on a young player having a tough time. I think he's quality and hope it doesn't dent his confidence. He's in good company as its happened to Pablo and Rodrigo.

I wish the club would sell games like this on digital or blu Ray. I'd like to watch this in 10 years time if I'm still kicking.

Neither villa or Leeds will win the league or finish top 6-8 But we accept the football lesson last night. You battered us and it could have been 6 or 7.
We will accept it, your passing game was brilliant, im not going to have a go at my Team, they are still at the right end of the table.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

FFS just seen the skyscum highlights on t’interweb.
Youd think we fu ckin stole it.
Ba stards.

Wasnt too impressed with them either, though I saw a post match interview from Dean Smith, did someone give him a personality transplant or something?

He was very honest, admitted we could of hammered Villa and gave us credit for a great performance.

Smith is a manager that I normally dislike but on this occasion thought he was really decent.

Great performance and one of very few games where every player was probably at least an 8 or 9 out of 10. I felt sorry for Struijk but taking him off was absolutely fundamental to the overall win. Dallas was excellent, Ayling did really well at CB and Harrison played a blinder. I am impressed by the brief glimpses we have seen of Raphinha who looks like a quality acquisition. Koch and Rodrigo are improving every match and Shackleton has proved he isn't out of place at this level. Barndoor was epic and nothing more need be said on that subject. All of this without Phillips (he may not get back in the side now!) and Cooper (he really may not get back in!).

Oh yes, and Grealish is still a cheating, diving ****.

Well said lad.

I was thinking about Fat Frank. He'll be f... ING terrified after seeing that with the money they've spent.
