VillaChris Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Interesting little period for them now....Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea and Man. United in their next 6 games although you suspect they'll pick up decent results in two of those games. Shot shy team like Palace sticking 4 past them isn't something I expected so their defence is getting a bit exposed now with Phillips a big miss in DM role. They've also missed Rodrigo moving around forward line in last two games. Still very much a case of first goal wins v them.

Bielsa v Pulis in championship in 18/19 was two draws which is probably closest comparison. Actually they met in 2019 run in as forgot SB was at Sheff Weds for a few months...1-0 Leeds win.

Since they played us leeds have not played anywhere near the levels in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams fail to win most of the time when they concede first. It’s not really a Leeds thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're lucky to have them back where they belong. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sample size with Leeds is much too small to draw many conclusions, this season they’ve scored first in 4 games and won 3 of them (75%). Villa have won all 4 games where they scored first, and lost both games where they didn’t score first. It’s not a Leeds thing, it’s just football.

Demitri_C Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 If you look at Biesla when they getyjng thumped he isnt goinv berzerk or anything. I think he thinks this is furthest he can take them and will leave come the summer. Going to be very tough to replace him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably other reasons to learn the language of the country you live in than a 2 minute post game interview with Sky. He’s been here 2 and a half years and can’t speak English enough to describe how he felt the game went. This must hamper him hugely to coach a team.

So he turned around an entire club in two years while still being hampered hugely?
