Re: Leeds Utd v Aston Villa Match Thead

Post by Leeds1000 »

Villa won't know what's hit them on our pitch. Dean will have no Torvill and its probably a good job cos he always fall down anyway, no Bolero.

Joking apart Villa are a good side and will be looking to avenge, what was possibly our best performance of the season? Anyway it will all be in vain as we run out 3-2 winners. I am grafting for this en and it spoils it having to watch it back knowing the score. But hey that's life, that's what all the people say.

Villians are indeed a good side , but if there is one thing we learned against Southampton (and IMO needed to learn) was we won, and convincingly won without owning the ball 70 to 75% of the time... I get more confident about our boys weekly.

Shacks probably out

Klich maybe out (very worried about Klich, wrong side of 30 and starting to struggle with hip issues).

We are literally going to have no midfield.

Roberts and Dallas probably.

So invite Villa on, win it back, then bypass the midfield and go over the top down the sides similar to we did with Southampton 2nd half?
Maybe Jenkins will be given a start?

We'll likely play 4 at the back due to Villa having one up front, so I think Llorente plays KP's role, with Struijk and Cooper has centre backs. Seems the logical decision given how light we are in midfield.

Goes to show stats don't tell the whole story..
Harrison has been much improved this season though.
Watkins v Bamford apples and pears springs to mind.
