Aston Villa 2-1 Leeds United - Match Debate

[Finnatic]

Our defenders are woeful.

And yet Cooper and Ayling will be in my mot top six and possibly other posters too

[YorkshireSquare]

I don't think our defenders are awful.
Our defence is collectively because of the way they are being drilled.

Funny thing is we knew this even before he arrived.

This

[Boo Radley]

Its a stinger that is. Forget the performance no one will remember that without any points to show for it. Villa were there for the taking, they are shite at the back and yet we somehow come away with nothing again. Sickener

Absolutely correct, with the add on that we are more shite at the back.

[1964white]

Christ that is a horrible loss. I feel angry now. I might go out for a walk

I know how you feel, Jay.

That's a sickener!

Phil saying there were chants of "Marsch Out"

[Kennyb41]

I don't think another manager can save us, we've got to tough it out with Jesse.

Keep ya fingers crossed we don't fck up at the back in these upcoming because that's what it's gonna boil down to.

We're gonna have to hope Jesse's hectic style is gonna save us coz we can't hope to play someone off the park.

We could say tough defeat tonight which is how i feel, but i have zero confidence when oppo's attack.

I don't think a kneejerk reaction is needed calling for Jesses head, but it's all on these next few games now and a gamble, if we get some wins and rapid we should be ok, but if we don't, i think we're fcked.

Fingers and toes crossed time again, i had no doubts whatsoever we'd stay up last year with Bert if he got his players back, i don't feel the same with Jesse but feel we've got to stick it out with him.

Tough call, and still on a tightrope.

My Richter scale - 2.25

[1964white]

His Gnonto love is bordering on grooming

Unbelievable from Neville,

There was only one MOTM in that game.

No, bollocks - we need a tactician pronto, half a season to save our PL status, leave it 3/4 games and it’s too late.

[SG90]

I don’t care about Orta at this point, I know it’s your thing, but we just need someone to get the best out of the squad as it stands now. f*ck recruitment, it’s happened, make the most of what we have now.

Who though? Our fans act as if the players are worldbeaters

[Jaydog]

I know how you feel, Jay.

That's a sickener!

I thought it was a decent performance tbh, Leon. Worthy of a point at least. Some good saves & defensive tackles I have to albeit begrudgingly give them credit for. They have blagged 3 points there and they know it.

[SG90]

Phil saying there were chants of "Marsch Out"

They've been singing it all season tbh

[Boo Radley]

Not enough evidence to know that Wober would have made the difference. Plus he brought Firpo on for Koch and moved Wober to CB. Maybe that’s a sign for next match

Sadly, I expect him to line out the same team again. And when it isn’t working he still won’t make a substitution before the 60th minute.

Oh, and Aaronson will also start, when he really shouldn’t at this stage.

[SG90]

And yet Cooper and Ayling will be in my mot top six and possibly other posters too

And they cost a combined £800k!

[1964white]

Nope ... I just recall scoring him highly when playing there.

Pascal has just had two consecutive nightmare games

[Carrick Dave]

Spend a midfielders fee on a manager, you can take your pick.

And the players are better than Jesse is making them look. The manager is letting the club down now, he’s not getting a tune from them and the points tally is suffering.

[Cjay]

We mock Lampard for his Everton record . . It's better than Marsch here.

Unlucky today absolutely

But you'd be hard pressed to find a manager who can't do better than 2 wins in 17

[SG90]

Personally I'd love Jose as he is a winner and will win us trophies, but I know our fans would moan about the style!

[1964white]

Wasted too much money on crap defenders so can't replace them now

We've always had inept defenders, some fans forget we've leaked goals through self-inflicted errors for the last five years.

[Kennyb41]

You cannot just blame the defenders for what is happening, they are collectively being thrown under the bus by the way Jesse is wanting the team to play, he is basically gambling we'll score, and when we don't then they uncannily (Paul) do and that's because of the gaping holes on the counter and the backtracking .

Yes, we are fuming about our not finding the back of the net on 3 occasions, but yet again Villa could've also had more.

His gameplan is a gamble that's not paying off atm, and all the other teams around us will be planning to hit us on the break.

I think he’ll change it tbh. I’m not going to jump on Pascal but a real good player has destroyed him a couple of times tonight and you can’t ignore that.
Think he might go Ayling Cooper Wober Firpo. If Firpo gets the runaround then move Wober to LB and bring Koch on. Firpo is a specialist LB after all and Wober is a CB
