Get Phillips and Rodrigo back after international duty and we'll be fine. Today's result was a mixture of VAR antics and some ridiculous finishing on their part. If Bamfords goal was an equaliser we probably win by a few, it gets ruled out they score a worldie. You could say the same about Bamfords goals against us, not his typical form. Hope your right, next 4 games look tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Leicester would still have won it if Shakespeare had been the manager. That’s ridiculous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody ever had a better 4-1 defeat. watched the NBC coverage, not BT...apparently BT coverage really was along these lines. fortunately NBC were a bit more realistic (critical) i.e. how shocking their defence is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Looks like Gabby was right about Leeds then, just picked the wrong week to say it, got them fired up against us but been awful since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Are they just good front runners? The story of their season seems to be that if they score first then they win (Fulham, Sheffield United, Villa) but if they concede first they lose (Liverpool, Wolves, Leicester, Palace). Decent point against Man City ruins the argument somewhat, but it does look like the first goal is ludicrously important in their games right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 2 hours ago, villa4europe said: Think this is what most of us were talking about in the summer when we were saying they had unrealistic expectations 2 soft goals from their young keeper including an unlucky deflection, 2 VAR decisions went against them including a controversial one, a moment of real quality from an opposition player That's the premier league, you can say what you like about tge brilliance if Bielsa it doesn't matter when you get those things in a game And that's doing woy and Palace a disservice They're still a decent side. Their fans were too arrogant before the season started, I remember some of them scoffing at the idea that the PL would be a ride awakening for them. You get punished for almost every mistake in this league. We started decently last year too, but it took a couple of heartbreaking losses to see the heads start to drop and results start to tail off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Bit of a sucker punch at 1-0 for them today, to be fair. That offside call is probably the worst VAR decision I've seen - and there have been some absolute shockers. Palace then basically immediately made it 2-0. They still look a good side IMO and will be comfortably mid table. They're a little bit like a reverse Newcastle at the moment, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds like us are a work in progress. They should have enough to stay up which I think would be a good season for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 They made the point on NBC a few times pre-game that whilst everyone has been blowing smoke up Leeds' arse and Palace were seen to have been a little meh and disappointing this season; They were both on the same points before the game, then Palace went on to hammer them. Laser removal artists might have a busy few weeks in the near future to remove all the "Leeds 20/21" tattoos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
