Ratings & Reactions: Leeds v Villa

[Derryvillan]

Thing is,Bamford had Connor in a head lock and tried a neck roll to get him to the ground before the El Ghazi incident.Lino missed that too.

Thought Green played well. Crossing which he has been criticised for was very good.

For dinner?.. If so please wipe your meat on his meat!

Phillips is one of the most persistant foulers I've ever seen. should of clocked up 13 yellow cards. and his hair is a disgrace.

The guy roberts was obviously in two minds whether to put it out or play the pass.

Its obvious Bielsa is a bit of a jekyl and hide character

I've been a big supporter of Kodjia, but I have to admit, we're toothless with him up top.

It's like a  whole dimension to our game goes missing.

Tammy has his flaws but he brings so much to the team.

 

Im so glad it was Kodjia up front today. Definitely no need for Leeds to see our full strength team just yet!

[mjmooney]

I hope Ipswich do them next week.

Connor Hourihane was fantastic in his reaction to the leeds goal. I've always thought he didn't really give a shit but that was tremendous.

I thought we were very comfortable today and we could of nicked it Kodjia has had a few sniffs and was getting nearer. We were easily the better side in the first half.

2nd Leeds pushed up the pitch and smith didn't take action. but we still looked like we could do something.

Very suprised that bielsa ordered his side to conceed. That derby training ground incident must have rattled him? or does he have links to spread betting gangs in china?

I would have thought Sky Sports would want the title race to go down to the wire?

I would have been pissed off if Villa manager did that and it cost us automatic promotion to the premier league.

Hourihane: It was the injustice.  He clearly told green to put the ball out even though we had a clear crossing opportunity not long before.

Bielsa: It was the only proper thing to do, and he gained a lot of respect from me today.

If a villa manger did that and it cost us... I think I'd take it on the chin.  Fair is fair.

[Kingman]

Should give Connor MOTM just for getting that little runt in a 3 minute head lock!

It's good to hear the media widely reporting Bamford as a cheat.

Not only because there's no way El Ghazi should be suspended for the playoffs, but also because he's a cheat.

Harsh on the linesman that. He probably thought he did see him elbow him in the face, as a lot of us would at full speed.

The lino isn’t the one at fault here. It’s the cheating player, who has tried to con the referees and succeeded.

Maybe it is, but he has said something happened that didn’t, fine margins with big consequences. A competent professional assistant can only advise what he sees - if he is behind the Leeds player or the group he sees nothing other than the fall out, because he is obscured. He has to say something happened but was unsighted and can’t be sure not he elbowed him in the face as he gestured. This isn’t the first time a player has feigned an injury to incriminate an opponent.

Agree, Can they they take retrospective action for simulation?

If we both get to the finals, what an absolute cracker it will be!

Yeah, this certainly lays the groundwork for the promotion final to end them all.

[Demitri_C]

Despite all the drama Leeda are a very good side. 

[mjmooney]

Players who do that must be colossally stupid to not know it will be on camera.

just would not have happened it Leeds still in the hunt for autos. I'd have taken it too, but knowing it would cost us our reputation. Leeds rarely can go lower.

What a nuts game !  

Our unlikely run of three years without any team doing the double against us is still intact. Nobody, and I mean nobody, dominates the mighty Aston Villa anymore !

Why?

The stupid people of the EFL/FA that do nothing and let this nonsense go on. 

The players know that the other guy will get sent off, increase their chances of winning, and everyone will have forgotten all about it in a few days time.

Until they start handing out retrospective red cards for cheating, this will continue to go on.

Stamped on his head 

Here's the clip:

All I'm saying is, at full speed, it's hard to blame the linesman for concluding there was an elbow to the face.

All I'm saying is, at full speed, it's impossible for the linesman to see El Ghazi elbow him in the face because......IT NEVER F****** HAPPENED!

Can one of us please kidnap john mcginn til after the Norwich game ?
