Leeds Utd v Aston Villa Match Thread

And that certainly wouldn’t have increased since

 

I just checked, it hasn’t

and Forest are more than twice our valuation

 

Probably Morgan Gibbs-White all on his own

 

Not quite - but their midfielders together are valued at almost as much as the entire Leeds squad.

 

They’re all important but this feels like a massive game today. I don’t particularly rate Villa, their results are better than their performances this season… although performances have improved. This is a game that’s winnable.

Forget all the manager talk for a day. Need to see a front foot performance where the players are giving their all and the crowd are driving them on.

Let’s see a performance. Whether we win lose or draw will always then be down to the margins/individuals.

 

I’ve thought that for a season now, whenever I’ve watched them they seem to be getting battered but somehow come away with the win. Good habit to have I suppose.

 

I’ve a feeling there will be a few disappointed if we win. They’ll be very low on material till city result next weekend

 

Villa win, walk out to find Hearts 2-0 down. Sounds about right.

 

Yeh… look at Forest last season, Sunderland so far this. Winning and losing can be habits. It’s amazing sometimes how the same teams seem to score from a handful of chances whilst the opposition miss theirs.

You don’t do xg, but for others reading, Villa are second bottom of the expected points table, we’re mid table. As Farke would say games at this level are decided on the small details/margins.

 

I'll be very happy if we Villa. I will stick to my guns and say Farke out

 

It has been raining for hours now and looks to continue all afternoon. You can forget tactics as the weather will affect the outcome of this game. You never know we might get lucky.

 

A jet lagged Aaronson over a fit James is baffling

 

Like that Pascal’s back, wonder if DCL’s not fully fit, or on the bench to rev him up.

 

They’ll be watering the pitch shortly so

 

It is really heavy and some players will be happy in the bench.

 

Farke loves the duracell bunny. We have 3 from the usa at non league wakey and one just runs, around a lot like Aaronson.

 

I think it will end up in tears

 

hopefully for unai emery

 

As we were talking about squad valuations the other day, transfermkt has:
Leeds (19th place in ranking by value) £316m
Villa (9th place) £546m
