Mate you need to take those Everton specs off. It was the other way round we cut you you to bits. He was offside & and you can’t stand in front of the keeper and make an attempt to head the ball when you’re offside.

Your “Quality players” were outplayed.

It came off your player. What's so hard to understand?
 
I went for Pickford as MoM although I could maybe have gone for Allan if he'd had the courage of his convictions and taken a shot on the couple of occasions he got into a shooting position.

If Richie had his shooting boots on today he could have had a hat-trick instead of hitting the ball straight to the keeper.

It could have been 0-0 at the end but we lost to what was a very soft goal, hit from outside the area more in hope than expectation. Disappointing but that's where we are.
 

I had no idea that Bielsa had signed Lev Yashin in goal but Everton made whoever they have back there look like him with awful finishing today.

Could have won this game handily. Think you lot should take it less hard.

I think it was a good game for the "neutral" had a good tempo. We looked all over the shop defensively, and seem to really miss having fullbacks fit. Davies and Iwobi had a go but got exposed.

Going the other our chance creation was fine, but we just didn't finish anything. Leeds goalkeeper was brilliant. We squandered so many chances and eventually got hit with a great long range pot shot.

We've got lots of problems which we know about, and as I thionk we all said, you can see where Leeds are a more fluent team, having had longer together. When we strung 5 or 6 chances together we invariably got a chance on goal, but it didn't happen enough.

Leeds will be great value. I do worry that you are wide open though. Not every game your goalkeeper is going to play a blinder.

As a final aside, no idea what VAR was doing again, ruling out a goal that had been given, for something that was off a Leeds player?

I thought it came off a Leeds player too but not sure what the interpretation of that rule is exactly

Yeah against Palace defo, no way that would be a pen now, shouldnt have been then. WBA matched us with 10 men....

Not sure how we beat Spurs but for us and them our form has gone in opposite directions so that suggests we both had off days!

We outplayed Palace who defend well. Luck or not. WBA didn't match us one bit. Even with 11, every attack we looked like we could score.

We've been massively disrupted since the derby. It's got to the point where the players and the manager are all making mistakes. First thing is conceding so many goals.
 
Why do we absolutely love losing to newly promoted sides. We’ll finish about 12th this season shipping goals so frequently. 3 points from 15 says it all. I’m only glad I didn’t have to actually make my way home from the ground after it watching that. Pure embarrassment.

Are you serious? We just lost to Leeds, could have been more than 3-0 if it wasnt for Pickford.........

He’s pointing out how the league has gone this season. Villa turned over the RS and Arsenal with ease but got done over by Leeds, Leicester routed City on their own patch but got turned over by West Ham, Spurs lost to us then a few games later pumped United 6-1 at Old Trafford
