We know Villa will make a couple of subs and come out firing for the second half, but will we be ready for it?

Leeds have been tactically disciplined sliding into that 5-4-1 defensively.

And of course as I'm writing that we nearly conceded....

Hanging on a bit there but a Farke away from home masterclass.

Gonna have to watch this again tomorrow. The buffering means I'm missing a minute for every three... Missed the Darlow save, actually missed the goal until the replay

Lost the stream

Darlow saved us did he?

Been pleased generally with the off the ball shape and work.

Good pressing at times and keeping the spaces tight in the middle.

Surprised by Villa being so slow and narrow which is helping us.

Great goal Stach.

Only real moment of true quality imo from either side.

Hopefully we manage this well, expect a reaction from Villa
