May-Z Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Commentators still remarking on 'the character of the team' from last year who still attacked even though they were 6-2 down 'when other teams would be demoralised and waiting for the bus home' It's like a weird sort of brain washing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Conceded 6 last season and now 5 vs their biggest "local" rivals Surely at least some moaning about it must be creeping in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Bielsa truly is a genius. They're probably going to put 20 past us. Edited August 14, 2021 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Any reason why Leeds haven't spent much this pre-season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard their director of football saying that last summer they did all the business they needed for this year too. They did spend 80-100mil last summer to be fair. Bielsa is getting a lot from this group of players, I wouldn't be massively surprised if they finish ahead of us again this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be But we've sold our player who put a shit or get off the can time scale for getting European football Bielsa won't be there forever, they haven't got 2 or 3 seasons to stabilise and then push on, they need to keep making big steps forward, nothing to suggest that they will Them and us will be very similar to last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is. Commentators always tend to hype up the "big" teams by default but for some reason spaffing over Leeds seems to trump even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Think they will have a similar season to last. They will bully the smaller teams and be bullied by the bigger teams. Probably finish around 10th - 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yeah again the commentators and pundits were going on about how brave they are and exciting because they just kept attacking. Despite conceding 5. Any other team they’d be saying how stupid it was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite conceding 5. Any other team they’d be saying how stupid it was I kind of thought that might end at the end of the first season, but looks like no. I suspect they'll have to lose half a dozen games in a row by similar scorelines before anyone in the media dares to question anything. Then once one has stuck his head above the parapet the conventional wisdom will change. Ah, dreams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it doesn't bother me in rhe slightest. I don't get why so many villa fans get wound up about it. I spoke to a group of Spurs fans and they just don't care about it, let them be in the limelight while Bielsa is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
