The progress this year? No one ever mentions it unless we lose. It's hilariously predictable. This is the problem mate, you keep going back to what he has done and not what he is doing now. Just cause he kept us up and went on a winning streak, this does not devoid the man from any criticism. Ranieri won Leicester the Premier League, but they soon F**** him off when he stopped winning games. Balanced review, second half was abysmal, out classed by Roy how he changed the game, true or false?? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up step Dean Smith's Aston Villa... And of course, it’s only “Dean Smith’s Aston Villa” that come along and help teams out to rectify things...previous Villa sides and indeed no other clubs do that whatsoever.

If you spend big and invest, you'll expect better returns. That's not exclusive to football. That's any industry or business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thats a 31/32 point season form over those games) Unacceptable tbh. Although it’s not the only reason, not having Grealish has hit us so hard. Smith needs this window and then should be under a lot more scrutiny of things continue as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worrying for sure but we had a good run before that so it’s a bit of a balance really. The worry is if it continues next season, has to start well next season.

But the performance wasn't that **** horrid. Lost by a deflection and a total dickhead of a homer referee who should be investigated and demoted. I'm more disappointed in Luiz and McGinn. We need new blood there. McGinn definitely the worst one. Offered ZILCH. We simply don't have a central midfield that's able to compete. Thought McGinn was outstanding first half personally, as usual though we tired from 60th minute ownwards yet he never gets subbed. Ramsey was easily worst of the trio today, simply didn't show enough to suggest he should be starting premier league matches I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I thought his team's finished the season strongly?

I agree that this summer will be the test, as if we invest another 100-125m and we dont improve, questions should rightly be asked, but i also totally agree that Smith should be given the summer to build further and see how next season goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds have lost Phillips, Harrsion, Raphinha at various stages. The thing just keeps going. We look markedly worse when we lose our best player.

I only watched the second half tbh, but he was so bad I would have subbed him right away. And if a first team player can't hold his own for 90 minutes. Replace him. FWIW Ramsey was a LOT better than McGinn the second half. By some distance too. Edited May 16, 2021 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 As per post match thread: " We aren't going down and we aren't making Europe " " We barely survived relegation last season " " We had to build a squad from scratch " " The bench is shit " " The referee f*cked us " " We have no right to be beating an in form Crystal Palace " " Crystal Palace put x goals past x opposition x weeks ago " " There is no guarantee changes would change anything " " Deluded fans throwing their toys out the pram like spoilt children " Have I missed anything? Also, what the f*ck does any of the above have to do with basic Game Management, pattern of play watching and pro activity? Is everyone who has levelled a similar criticism over the course of the season a prick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
