Ratings & Reactions: Leeds v Villa

[tinker]

What a dreadful game, we look clueless. Why have we continued to rely on full backs to play an advanced role when we haven't  got any that are good enough that are fit. 

We should have got 3 points from this game, Leeds look like a championship team ..........so do we. MOTM........I can't pick one .

You're acting like this isn't a normal thing under Gerrard. 

We had several good chances. Coutinho hit the post, Watkins missed two one on ones and Konsa had a great chance. We should have won with the chances we had. That's why its not in Gerrard. I know everyone will disagree but they're wrong if they take their blinkers off.

McLeish didnt have the luxury of Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey but had Nzogbia and a past it Robbie Keane on loan

In fairness Robbie keane kept us up that season did he not

[Rodders]

No surprises with another grim toothless effort. Will be nothing else whilst gangland stevie is still the boss

You cant blame Gerrard for that one. It was just shocking quality and decision making in the final third. That wont stop everything piling in though.

Mate i fence ride, but that was shite.

Good in little patches.

Yes there was shite decision making, but they were also down to 10 men, and we had players on the bench which could more than make up for deficiencies and put the game to bed before 80 minutes.

We were playing as if we were 3 - 0 up and trying to control the game... lol

There is no excuse in this instance.

I honestly think Watkins should be hauled out on the streets of Birmingham tonight to apologise for that waste of a wage performance. 

He never looks like he gives a toss either. "Oh look, another one missed. Anyway....."

We showed the manager’s amazing winning mentality in that game. Keeping Leeds to a 0-0 whilst they had 10 men is an amazing performance and achievement. Fantastic.

We did. 

We also played awful football at times. 

If this was a one off I'd be the same but this is pretty standard villa under Gerrard. 

 

[Ingram85]

Huh, I thought he was putting an end to the pretty stuff?!

[ROTTERDAM1982]

Same limited arguement, we didn't win so sack the manager.

Watkins is so poor that Keinan would do a better job.

Good chances for Watkins today, and he didn;t take one. Thats not the managers fault

Had enough to win here. Not Gerrard's fault.

Today, Ollie Watkins is the worst player in PL.

So it isn't Gerrards fault? Who's fault is it then for giving Ollie 94 minutes on the pitch

Thought it’d be a dreary nil nil so did something else with my time…

it’s terrible that it’s come to that. 
 

I’ve always wanted to watch our games but it’s getting as bad as watching England. 

[Beastmix]

Not one for over the top knee-jerk reactions, but if we can offload Watkins in January, we should.

Utterly useless. Reckon Ings starts the next one, going by Gerrard's reactions.

[brummybloke]

Get him out of my club

 

Turgid dour boring negative clueless.

 

That's us on a good day under the scouse shower

 

Big shout out for being exceptionally shit today

Konsa, watkins, Bailey 

Just shit we have

Mccginn who had acres of space to work in but didn't bar one nice pass and one tackle

Ramsey who can't play with mccginn being used as a wide player

The tactics, shape tempo are all wrong, but everyone bar the useless dog dirt of a manager can see it but let's just soldier on, after all it's not a loss.

 

 

[supermon]

The players are just poor as well though, Coutinho, Watkins, McGinn, Ramsey, Bailey all offering next to zero

There for should have taken him off and tried Archer or Ings earlier, much earlier. Gerards decision to stick with him

An entire second half against a pretty poor wound up Leeds side down to 10 men...and we stroll about like we have all the time in the world

We barely threatened their goal, and we had our entire first choice attack out there tonight.

Really poor for me, we just dont look like we have the confidence to score a goal

Gerrard will probably moan at the lack of quality, from where im sitting that lack of quality starts on the training field.

2 points dropped there 

Ollie had at least 4 one-on-one chances during the match.  He has to bury at least one of them.

I think thats me done. **** am I wasting my time watching this shit with that blind dickhead in charge making bank.

I'm here too.

Bought the Claret Club Membership pre-season. Went to the first two home games, won't go to any more until he's sacked. It's a wasted investment of time, money and emotional energy. 

We are absolutely, utterly, dreadful.
