Smith has trusted in McGinn and Luiz when booked early in matches. But you're welcome to think that, I just disagree with the management philosophy.

I don't wonder. the bloke looked shagged by the 25th minute. He simply does not have the fitness to maintain the intensity he tries to play with.

I think we have seen the best Leeds have to offer and its not good enough. No way are we at 75%. I think we havent even stepped up a gear yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Leeds just shading it for me but could still go either way. Their work rate and speed has been very impressive to be fair (begrudgingly). Trez has been very poor, but I'm not sure Traore is the option to replace him.. yet. Think we might be left even more open down the left hand side. I know it won't happen and I know it won't be wanted on here but I would be thinking about Davis up top Watkins from wide and Trez off. I think the extra strength and muscle up top will help us get more of the ball. Anyway, need a big half or we will lose this COME ON VILLA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m watching on Bein Sports and it’s been entirely Villa tbh. warnock commentating, pre-game was all about us and included a long special about Petrov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're welcome to think he'd have suddenly become more disciplined and that it was the wrong call to sub him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please spare us this nonsense. It's nonsense because it was bettered by the best manager in English football history? Get a grip. Bielsa is doing a very good job with the players he has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted October 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm concerned. Whilst we have created the best chance, we have conceded a lot of chances. I hope for a better 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Will be interesting to see what tactical adjustments Smith will make 2nd half. I feel Traore needs to come on early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
