This should be interesting. Hopefully the lads can get it together and fight back.

Panrich · 23-10-2020 9:18pm

We were getting carried away a bit. Back to reality.

TheDenialTwist · 23-10-2020 9:20pm

We need to score now

COYVB

Please, please, please

Patser · 23-10-2020 9:25pm

That looks a Bamford stamp and dive

wonderboysam · 23-10-2020 9:25pm

Bamford hasnt changed :pac:

TheDenialTwist · 23-10-2020 9:26pm

Crikey, that reaction by Bamford... Disgraceful behaviour

TheDenialTwist · 23-10-2020 9:27pm

Oh no FFS

artanevilla · 23-10-2020 9:27pm

Beautiful from Mings.

Panrich · 23-10-2020 9:27pm

Barkley beyond poor there

Looks a very harsh reaction to that in here... I don't think it was a stamp, or a dive.

His foot came down accidentally on Mings, and twisted badly. He didn't in any way look for a pen, didn't even look at the ref.

Don't think anyone did anything wrong on either side (aside from Migns reaction after).

<edit>
Fabulous finish after.

Patser · 23-10-2020 9:28pm

And then that cheating fecker does that..... some finish

Barkley poor, loses ball doesn't hunt for it back - Leeds far far hungrier for everything

listermint · 23-10-2020 9:28pm

Injured was it.
..
He's a sham.

TheDenialTwist · 23-10-2020 9:28pm

We're 2-0 down

basillarkin · 23-10-2020 9:29pm

Ross so poor for Bamfords second. Gives it away. And then let's midfield waltz pass him without getting a glove on him. Konza was unlucky eariler but villa been totally outplayed at the moment. Need more from watkins as well. Grealish booked now aswell

sc86 · 23-10-2020 9:30pm

We look so poor in second half.
Get barkley off fast.
Mcginn hasnt got the ball in second half

Corholio · 23-10-2020 9:31pm

Just need to calm a bit really with the ball, too many risky, paniced passes. Not every ball has to be a killer ball.

Think you're replying to the wrong post

Patser · 23-10-2020 9:32pm

Might as well give Conor a run, maybe his delivery can do something.

Davis up front maybe

basillarkin · 23-10-2020 9:32pm

Harrison doing serious damage down the left for Leeds. Could be more if not careful

sc86 · 23-10-2020 9:32pm

Surprised smith has not made more changes , whats he waiting for

TheDenialTwist · 23-10-2020 9:33pm

3-0 down now FFS

circadian · 23-10-2020 9:33pm

Leeds have us figured out now, they're looking very dangerous. Smith needs to move it around.

sc86 · 23-10-2020 9:34pm

This could be 4 or 5

Patser · 23-10-2020 9:34pm

3-0 now that's just too easy..

Unbelievable pass to set them off, but after its in to box, we're piss poor

Patser · 23-10-2020 9:35pm

TBF that's 2 that Bamford got serious power on from minimal back lift, great technique

Corholio · 23-10-2020 9:35pm

Leeds been very good this half and Villa just never came out this half. 2nd and 3rd goals should be closed down quicker, man should be right up against Bamford.

Synode · 23-10-2020 9:36pm

We've been awful the 2nd half. No movement in midfield at all.

3 of them standing there watching him shoot

sc86 · 23-10-2020 9:37pm

How are mcginn and barkley still on the pitch?

basillarkin · 23-10-2020 9:37pm

Get barkley off

Brian201888 · 23-10-2020 9:37pm

Leeds have battered us, so much energy and forced mistakes from us at every opportunity

rebelomar · 23-10-2020 9:37pm

Totally overrun and outplayed. Grealish, Barkley and McGinn all taking too much time on the ball. They win it and move it very very quickly.

Leeds by far the better team

JPA · 23-10-2020 9:38pm

Out performed tactically I'm afraid. Hard to take.

All the warnings were there, nothing done to fix it - maybe limited options to fix it

Even now, no real change beyond Traore for Trez...

Limited options and taking no action are two different things.

There are options. Was options.

mdwexford · 23-10-2020 9:40pm

Getting absolutely destroyed.

Leeds moving the ball so quickly. Bamford with two fantastic finishes.

If Grealish finishes that run like he should have or
Konza scores me may have gotten something but on the whole we don’t deserve anything.

Sad way for the 100% run to come to an end.

circadian · 23-10-2020 9:42pm

Yeah they've stuck to just overloading the wing all night and it paid off. Once the first went in it felt like they'd sussed it out and we really needed to make a change there.

sc86 · 23-10-2020 9:42pm

Leeds making changes and 3 nill up.
We are getting battered and none
Crazy

rebelomar · 23-10-2020 9:43pm

After 5 mins it was obvious they had the legs on us and too much space in behind our defence.

We needed to sit deeper and be patient. Smith changed nothing. Very dissapointing

Patser · 23-10-2020 9:45pm

C'mon Smith!

Fresh legs at least McGinn and Barkley are shot - give Conor some time, Maybe even Elmo in as help for Cash

Did I say "stamp"? Did I say "dive"?

No, I didn't.

Another poster said that.

It was Bamford's "reaction" I was speaking of.

Panrich · 23-10-2020 9:45pm

Smith seemed to buy in to the hype and it looks like they didn’t believe that Leeds had the tools to hurt us.

Our supporters had become too bullish as well so it’s a reality check for everyone. Gabby will rightly be copping loads on twitter after this

Esse85 · 23-10-2020 9:47pm

It's like the u16s vs u12s. Bigger, stronger, faster, fiteer and that's only the physical side of it.

Great performance from Leeds, they really found us out.

Smurts · 23-10-2020 9:47pm

Absolutely extraordinary that there hasnt been more changes, bizarre.

Leeds done their homework, playing really good football, some classs finishes from Bamford too (as much as it pains me to say it...)

That's probably it, we were too attacking and open. Pushed Barkley and McGinn too far up and left too much space behind them. If we'd played as if we wanted 0-0 and snuffed out Leeds, we probably would have done much better

basillarkin · 23-10-2020 9:47pm

Why bother having a squad if you won't bring anyone on. It shows his total lack of faith of the player on the bench.

We've been well and truly outplayed

CucaFace · 23-10-2020 9:50pm

Dean Smith's major weakness has been badly shown up tonight. He is very poor tactically and Beilisa has easily out thought him and Smith isn't capable off countering it with any changes.

CM have gone totally awol since the first goal.

McGinn especially has been woeful tonight.

And Ming has been acting an idiot, got a needless yellow and had to pull out of a tackle which lead to the first goal.

matrim · 23-10-2020 9:51pm

Smith had the same problem at times last year. He's too slow to make subs and try change things that aren't working

AVFC.Stephen · 23-10-2020 9:51pm

Leeds have been brilliant. Thoroughly deserved

We never turned up. Was gonna happen that we lose just hope we dont hit a rut now

In fairness not one player on our bench would have made any difference. Horihane to come into the CM against leeds to make a difference?
