Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Leeds

[Eligius]

Reality check tonight, we had a few chances but Leeds were better than us all over the pitch. I have never rated Bamford but his finishing was exceptional tonight.
Leeds work hard and with plenty of skill, I think we were lucky to only lose by three tonight.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Does anyone really care about what Gabby says? Most Villa fans don't and I doubt anybody else would either.

He did the team talk for them. You think they were not out to prove a point tonight? If anything the team gabby described was us tonight

We were  a horror show 

[AVFCforever1991]

Back to reality for everyone at the club, we were shit tonight and had no plan for their style of play, hopefully the coaching staff and Dean will learn from this for next time.

Have to take your hat off for Leeds, they were brilliant. Luke ayling was immense. Gutted but very impressed by Leeds. 

If konsas or grealishes efforts went in who knows but the better team won 

[Zhan_Zhuang]

Don't try to justify anything at all, Leeds destroyed us with desire and intensity.

Ahhh remember the good old days

Thank you.

All we can do is get our heads in training this week and go and beat Southampton next week. That would be 15 points out of 18 and nobody can complain about that.

We played badly and the team certainly deserve flak, but Gabby wrote their **** teamtalk for them with a needless dig at them, he should just keep his mouth shut in future as we aren't in a position to give our opponents any extra motivation.

Well, Bamford wrote our team talk 2 years ago and the media spunkfest added a nice appendix to it.

[villakram]

wtf... caught the first half and then had to hit a zoom call, which I just exited.

Bamford... wtf.

You just need to look at any Leeds fans comments about the result, most I've seen mention Gabby, it clearly bothered them, and that feeling was likely shared by their players.

Martinez fine. Cash decent enough with recoveries but ultimately got terrorised my manbun. Targett was shite - ruined every attack he was involved in. Mings poor decision making again. Konsa fine. Dougie fine. Mcginn decent in patches but knackered in others. Barkley crocked and very average. Trezeguet ran but no end product. Jack did decent things but tried to do it all on some occasions. Ollie anonymous and should have scored at the death. Dean outclassed tactically and did nothing to change it. Reality check. Bamfords a word removed. Bielsa took a dump at villa park. Manbun uniyed are still a small club. Onto soton. UTFV

I suspect Leeds will do that to quite a few teams this year. A shame we had to be one of them, but it’s not mortifying and I’m not surprised our players ran out of steam. The fatigue and injuries to key players have to happen eventually.

I’ll start being concerned if we have a bad run over the next four games (Southampton, Brighton, West Ham, Newcastle). I wasn’t expecting guaranteed 3 pointers from Leeds.

It was a game of if only's. We'll be fine.

No one:

Leeds: fatigue?

[Talldarkandransome]

Well that could have been a lot worse, they missed a couple of good chances in the first half. Really don't like Bamford, claiming a penalty from a player who was kneeling down facing the other way. Then he scores a bloody hatrick. Hate him.

Nothing else matters really, not a good performance overall, probably just a small blip.

To finish on a positive, Cash looks like a quality defender

100%. Look if a exeeds player said we were wernt all that their would uproar here and rightly so.

Gabby made himself look like a absolute dick. Why choose a few days before our game to come out with these stupod comments?
