Leeds United v Aston Villa Match Thread

[The Subhuman]

I didn’t watch today’s match but from reading the comments it looks like

We played well first half
Were poor second
Farke last the game in the 2nd half with poor management
Farkes reason for staying in the role diminish every week

Personally - we change manager now. No point persevering. I’ve seen enough.

Who’s care taker? Don’t care. Get a manager now. We are in the PL ffs. There are managers who would chew their arm off for this chance.

It’s no lose for an ambitious manager. Turn it around and you’re a legend. Fail and it’s the poor squad and board. No lose!!

That's worth a heart..

Did you see the Villa player go straight over to their set piece coach just after their free kick goal....and Farke doesn't believe in having a set piece coach

The free kick had nothing to do really with the set piece coach, this is all about a quality strike and Roger’s delivered that with Aplomb.
The wall jump timing wasn’t great, as Faaip said it went over Joe’s head who was on his way down.

[White Riot]

Was probably sleep walking

Aye, in the middle of a mare

We're going to get some excuse Tanaka had to come off... turning point for me. No one here could believe it

He had to keep Aaronson on the pitch......for some reason.

Aaronson played well. Longstaff was the player playing poorly who deserved to come off

[BillyBremner]

Should have kept Mes in goal

[The Subhuman]

Should have kept Mes in goal

He needed a break but he's a proven prem keeper, he has gone backwards under Farke though

I’d drop DCL for at least 5 games. Its a theory of mine that the dropped player then becomes the beacon of hope for all fans. “Well at least when we had DCL…”

DCL.
Dopey Catastrophic Liability.
Its not his fault in fairness.
Mr & Mrs DCL are to blame.

It's a theory with proven merit

Adam Forshaw was treated like we'd lost prime Xavi by the time he came back.

Bamford was transitioned into Erling Haaland at times the way he was spoken about.

I back this theory!!!! In 5 games time we welcome back prime Lewandowski

As was Okafor. Was not having a good game. Subbing Tanaka was nonsensical…really is a microcosm of his game management/substituting ability.

It seemed odd at the time as he was still one of our better performing players but he was on a yellow card and farke had been warned that another offence would lead to a red. Aaronson should have been subbed earlier however and replaced by James who was far more dangerous when brought on.

Right let’s not go to sleep

We waited a bit longer for our sleep time this week, just knew Villa would come out stronger after their cuppa.

[1964white]

Martinez trying to cheat as usual

Villa still the team to hate, they haven't changed since 2019.

The list is endless.
Mes - probably world class
Joffy - almost certainly better than Haaland
Joseph - better than Joffy
Just a few examples of the “he’s not here or not playing so must be the answer” theory.

[1964white]

Knew he’d fucked up!

The cheat saved them near the end with a point-blank instinctive save from Struijk's header.

[1964white]

Great challenge Joe

My main man sets the standard once again at this higher level.

[1964white]

Can't fathom why we are this positive for now atleast at home but away from home we wave the white flag immediately

I can't understand why we don't play with the same heart & tenacity in our away games.

[1964white]

Poor from Longstaff out of defence

Another stinker from Longstaff today with his suicidal passes.

[White Riot]

Another stinker from Longstaff today with his suicidal passes.

I said he was dross when we bought him Leon.

No other EPL teams after him, he's got that in common with Daniel Farke.

And we bidded against ourselves to secure his services.

[1964white]

Gudmundsson great run but again just passes without looking up. Not there was much in the box

Gabby busts a gut getting down the left flank, whilst the rest of our players go to sleep & make no effort to run into their box.

Pathetic!
