Cracking goal that. Really good from Castagne, Praet (great pass whilst sliding) Vardy, KDH and the finish by Barnes. Good to see a proper team goal

One being a natural winger probably helps...

Which begs the question why doesn't Rodgers play him more on the right to give us some width on both sides and move Madders centrally, which is where he ends up anyway. For the first time in ages not all of our attacks have come down our left

2nd half disasterclass incoming from Brendan, watch the intensity drop and watch us try to control and dominate the game and lose momentum and barely threaten. We will concede after 65 minutes, Vestergard will be on at 75 to see out the game and we will concede twice in last 15 to lose ……

 

Blimey

Who would play on the left then

Plenty of time for this to go south 

I hope Brendan isn’t giving them all a bollocking for being more positive and direct with the play 

[whoareyaaa]

Villa 3 down  

[PhillippaT]

It'd be funny if Big Dan turns out to be our good-luck charm  

[Tom12345]

Whether we push on or not depends on whether Rodgers is going to ask the team (as usual) to take the foot off the pedal and defend. Either way, I cannot be back in the Rodgers’ camp simply because of one half or one game.

[MPH]

Team is obviously delighted Rodgers is about to replace Gerrard at Villa

One more and then lets get Sammy on the pitch.

😂 it is tongue in cheek ….

[Guest Col city fan]

This has got to be the end of Steeeeeeve Geraaard at Villa surely?

[whoareyaaa]

Table looks a lot better if we can hold on to the points

I don't know why I'm not bothering to hope this won't happen.

 

Leeds changing shape, that's how it starts

Barnes maybe?

Nothing to moan about. This is strange.

Erm Praet off for Mendy after 60 minutes.  Iheanacho on after 93 minutes.  Bum lick Leeds at full time. Fish fingers for tea.

wouldn’t be the first time. He does tend to calm us down at the back a bit 

[Tuna]

Our defending crikey. 

[bovril]

obviously a backpass

[justfoxes]

Bouba pass to the team in Blue bud not white 😉

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Awful defence by JJ

Agreed, Leeds are wretched at the back and we could easily get another goal or 2 if we keep the pressure up. In previous years we would always love being in the lead and then bringing teams out a bit more 2nd half and then using Vardys pace to counter but Vardy obviously doesn't have the same impact on the counter as his pace has dropped. I'd consider putting Daka on after about 60 mins and giving their defence something different to think about 

You are too kind. In previous years, Rodgers would put fear into the team for trying to attack instead of “controlling the game” (ie. defend and invite pressure onto us) resulting in a long term choke / negative mentality. As has been proven already, we are one of the worst teams when it comes to losing after getting into a winning position. For the sake of our team, I wish we win today but it won’t be because of Rodgers.
