Leeds will fade in the 2nd half we just gotta take our chances 

We're Gonna have to deal with their fitness levels and high press, I think we have the players to expose them tho, and I think they will be more scared of us. Can't help feeling confident about this one. 3-1 villa

To be fair to them the other day was like us losing Mings in the warm up to be replaced by Hause or Engles and then they also getting injured during the game. On top of that Luiz getting injured and being out for 6 weeks. 
 

It’s pretty bad luck but the perfect chance for us to capitalise.

I would rather we play them at full strength to be honest, go on their forums, they don't rate us at all, so I don't care about their bad luck. I'm looking forward to see how far we have come since we last played them

Nice to see the Leeds fans have already got their excuses ready for when we beat them.

Although I admit I was waxing lyrical about him last summer. Even compared him to Mahrez. But now I get the impression he has got the big move and ridiculous wages a little bit earlier than he is ready for.

If this happened last summer I would have been gutted. Right now I can’t help but feel we have dodged a bullet. Only time well tell. 

I agree mate, the business we have done is looking unbelievable if I'm honest, I must admit myself I'm always thinking maybe 1 more signing lol, but where we are now compared to 18 months ago is unreal. I think your right we may of dodged a bullet

Yeah, Dean has had 2 full summer windows to sign him and he hasn't made a move AFAIK. I think that speaks volumes. 

100 % mate

We dont need players that make little drone movies of having a shave at a villa . Right now he is a good player because he probably ain’t quite rich enough to stop giving a shit yet. Let’s see him in a few more years.

Lol... I see what your saying, and yeah lovely flicks and skill moves don't cut it in prem, the boy is greedy if what I'm hearing is right, let wet spam take the risk I say, I'm buzzing with our business mate

I think our interest waned when we signed Jack to his new deal....and I know which one I would prefer.

 

I totally agree mate, Jack was a huge thing for us, we forget sometimes how far we have come in 18 months. To keep Jack is pivotal to villa showing we will not be bullied. To be honest I like the look of benrahma, but as I said Dean smith knows what he brings, and we went all out for watkins and I'm more than happy with that. UTV

If anyone knows benrahma it's Dean Smith, if he wanted him he'd be at villa now, I trust Smith if he doesn't think benrahma is worth it to us. 

I'm so glad that ****up Southgate didn't play grealish to be honest, no matter what we think Southgate is a plum who wants to play the FA nodding dog, I'd rather we see the best of Jack and keep him for our selfs!!! We all know what Jack can do but he will never fit into that **** wits plans. 

Simply my new hero

The sooner people realize Wesley is pure garbage the faster we can progress and get something better.

Go to the wesley thread again then to say it, just no point pulling our players out in random threads just to troll

Bamford only needs 2 more goals to equal Wesley's tally last season.

What do you get out of quoting this stat? Your either trolling as normal or you genuinely are not a fan of villa or villa players

Don't know if this has already been mentioned but the bookies have slashed the odds down on us signing sarr.

Personally I would get a strong striker on early. I'd increase the tempo a lot. Playing wide is fine, but pinging crosses into the box isn't the way to go when they are clearly better in the air. You need to up the tempo and be patient. Get them tired. 

Letting them getting breaks by clearing or taking down crosses just gives them the advantage of pushing their team out, catching breaks, running down time, reorganising and so much more. 

I'm baffled anyone can be happy with how we perform against 10 men. My mate tends to be rather objective about Villa with no interests one way or another and he said we looked 'clueless with advantage'. Sums it up. We don't look drilled in how to handle an advantage at all. 

First game of the season against a team know for parking the bus, we did OK, in fact you can't get more than 3 points in a match

Is there a more boring and dead discussion than X club deserves this because of X thing?

I honestly don't care. Its nice that Leeds as a city have a premier league club again. Its nice that a well supported club are back in the top league but it doesn't really matter.

Until recently we didn't deserve to even be close to the prem. Like when you got relegated a couple of seasons ago, if youre shite you don't deserve to be there.

 

Hopefully we stay up this year and we can hear the end of this 'back where we belong' nonsense that the media are pumping out.

Its not just the media spitting bull **** tho

I think he will be back to himself in a few games, he was out for a while with the injury and then with the Covid break to. I think the way mcginn plays the break affected him more because he has to be right on his game 100 % cos that's his style of play, he's all about high pressure and winning the ball back quick to start an attack. I'm confident that it won't be long until we see him at his arse rolling best again

Konsa is really starting to look a quality CB, improving all the time and great he got his goal. Hope he has a great season.

£5m player out the door for nothing

Hard to believe we let him go for nothing, good player who will develop. 

For the reported 19 mil we would be getting a good deal, we simply are not gonna get a world beater for that money, I've seen bits of him over the last few years and he's worth what we're paying 

Can't believe some of the stick target gets, he's a modern day left back, might not be the greatest going back defending but the quality going forward and crossing ability is very good for where we're at a the moment. The problem has been when he goes forwards he's not getting the cover from team mates. 

I think a move could be the making of him, get him scoring regularly and he could become an asset. Still don't think it's the end for him at villa because he has a lot to his game. Just gotta bring goals now. 

Anwar is doing OK, maybe at the moment use him as an impact player because of his direct style and pace when defender's are tiring. I think he's had an ok start tho and there's more to come, we have won 2 on the bounce now, no way am I calling this kid out, he's done nothing wrong. UTV

I know there has been a lot of ins and outs but, come on its mcginn he starts, I worry about people's memories sometimes
