I really wouldn't look forward to meeting them in the final Completely disagree. We were jogging around for more than an hour. Understandably to a degree as players know we're in the playoffs and there's no need to kill themselves in this mostly meaningless game for us. We meet them in the final after they behave like this and its a totally different game. They're really nothing special technically, and absolute scumbags in intent. **** them.

I really wouldn't look forward to meeting them in the final I thought we were comfortable today (before the sending off), there wasn’t anything between the teams, and I don’t think we were out of second gear. I don’t think we have anything to fear in the playoffs. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Nah give them credit where it's due, they are a very good side. They are relentless with the press. That being said, with our full squad, a fit Tammy, Hause etc. we have them beaten imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2019 Not definite Leeds will be in the play-off final, but they are a good side, organised, coached and hard working. We are too, so I think it comes down to mentality, luck, and that bit of talent that see's either of us over the line. i tell you what, when I thought el Ghazi was out I was a worried man - he is the sort of player who might just pop up and be counted in the semis or final.

Can’t recall us being under the cosh except for the last 5 mins when we were down to 10 men. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen,Villa have nothing to fear playing Leeds United. Let's get past the Baggies and then fogure out how to beat the Leeds boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think we showed today we are as good as them. Nothing between the sides and that was us without Tammy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmirch Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Didn’t think they were as stunning as some posters are making them out to be. They play lots of 1-2’s around the box, shoot from 25 yards and as for the pressing, I thought we handled it very well. We can do them if we play them again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Bielsa is a much better tactician than Smith and that might give them the edge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted April 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2019 I missed the game today as I had a family meal to be at. However, I haven’t missed the opportunity to wind up my mate who supports Leeds. He’s your typical Leeds fan though. Grealish dives. Nothing wrong with their goal, and they’re the best team in the league. Oh, and everybody hates Leeds, and call them cheats because of it. I did point out that they’ve now been proven to be cheats a couple of times this season already. Grealish doesn’t dive but has to get out the way of having himself snapped in 2 most the time. I’d love the chance to do them at Wembley, and it could well be shaping up for just that. We shouldn't fear anyone going into these playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Until the sending off I thought we edged it. Yes they had all the ball but you expect that away from home against a possession based team. We created the better chances. it would be a different game at Wembley but let’s beat Albion first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Don't feed trolls. Only replies keep them coming back. Tense match today. Not sure what we can do to get refs to look after Grealish. Maybe other players can take it turns getting at the ref. It was an assault today. Absolutely terrified of him clearly, very amusing. With a full team, Tammy and Whelan back in we beat these thugs.

hippo Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Can see the POF going all the way to penalties. Derby and Albion would be outsiders ...but wba have 2 20+ goal players up front. Not a lot to choose between villa and leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) The media love to play on the narrative that the Championship is a real blood and thunder league that lacks football quality. Yet if expected Derby confirm 6th place, the whole of the top 6 play good attacking passing football. It could be one of the most open play offs for years. All teams can beat anyone, all can score lots and all can also concede lots. I just hope we prove to have the best defence over the course of the 3 games. It would be typical yesteryear Villa to beat Albion in the semis, having failed to beat them throughout the season. Then in the final, play derby and lose having battered them twice in normal games. I just hope we get some luck in a Wembley final for once(should we get there) Edited April 28, 2019 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, not sure where the view that they are significantly better than us comes from. I don’t share it, they look limited to me, and they’ve no teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
