Match Day Thread Aston Villa v Leeds Utd

How good was James in that half? Flashes from Rodrigo too. Harrison looks sharp as well apart from holding on a bit too often. Unlucky to be losing but all the play for in the 2nd half. Raphinha needs to put his boots on a realise he’s playing a match tonight!

 

only if it’s to stare into the back of the sofa you’re hiding behind

 

Think we were the better team in the first half, let's hope we can build on it in the second half

 

Am I the only one who noticed Raphinha almost having his arm removed to release the ball that led to their 3rd?

I also noticed during James' second that it should have been a penalty anyway. He was violently shoved aside by Minger before he made contact (did he actually make contact?). Absolutely no chance of these officials noticing it.

 

Their Brazilian is tearing us apart. Oura is still in Brazil. His corners have been utter ****e.

 

You had me looking at the team sheets there to find out who Oura was!

 

who remembers this

 

nope blatant foul for me

 

Genuinely like to know who is marking Coutinho? I mean we go man v man. Nobody has gone near him.

Ramsey just strolls past Klich effortlessly.

 

More likely another 6-2 unless we decide defending might be a good idea.

 

It’s supposed to be ayling I think! We were just completely asleep for the first goal,

the second ayling gets rolled like a drunk by him… and klich doesn’t have the legs to keep up with Ramsey.

3rd goal they all get drawn to the ball and no one picks up Ramsey.

schoolboy stuff.

 

Imagine if our threadbare team all played to their potential we'd be home and dry now, Rodrigo was crap last game, tonight he's playing well, Rapha isn't playing at all.
James is on fire Harrison is playing well, defence a bit dodgy
****ing frustrating
Come on leeds

 

Palace have equalised at six-finger stadium

 

We been the better team but have been done in that half by class and a lack of midfield who can't cope with it.

 

I love the fact we make games chaotic but we just have zero control over it. We've dragged Villa in to an open end to end game but they have Coutinho, Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins with the full backs especially Cash bombing on. They just have the more dangerous players. That's why we will lose this game handily.

 

Palace miss penalty still 1-1

 

and Palace have just missed a pen

 

I’d bring Joffy and Forshaw on, play Joffy and James up front

 

Noticed Raphinha had a laser pen aimed at his head in the first half. Not sure how much that would affect his performance though as I know nothing about them.
