The Big Fish Theory

I agree. Left back cover would be nice as well. Even if we lose players it looks to be for profit in any given situation as Rammazani is slowly picking up, joffy back from injury and firing but wober injured and Joseph benched. Squad depth and key player retention and we have a real base to build on

Farke called us "warriors" post match, while a relieved Emery admitted we were incredibly difficult to break down. We aren't just surviving, we’re competing with the elite. Seven points clear of the drop with goal difference and climbing. Bloody lovely to ride this Yorkshire wave

It’s gut wrenching to concede in the 88th minute. A Sancho corner was headed down by Konsa, and Tammy Abraham kneed it in from close range. To lose the win that late feels cruel given how much we deserved it. Was pure luck from my point of view.

As Villa pushed, Farke shifted brilliantly. Bringing on Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol showed his intent to maintain the threat on the break while reinforcing the spine. We looked so stable despite their pressure.

In the 31st minute, magic happened. Anton Stach stood over a free kick 35 yards out. Seeing Martinez leaning toward the far post, he unleashed a physics defying rocket into the near top corner. Pure audacity. Martinez reacted well but it was unstoppable. Best i have seen for us

The individual battles were immense. Ethan Ampadu was a colossus, recording 11 defensive actions and constant ball recoveries. He and Stach formed a steel wall that Emery’s league chasing squad couldn't breach.

Farke’s setup was spot on. We were compact, disciplined, and used a mid-block that completely stifled Villa's buildup. The away end was deafening, out singing the home support and fueling the lads relentless energy as always. Our running, tracking and defensive numbers are insane

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and seeing Anton Stach back in the lineup warmed the cockles. We went to Villa Park, one of the toughest grounds in Europe, and absolutely rattled a title chasing side. #LUFC #MOT #VILLEE #WORLDIE #GOAT

Fantastic point, late pressure absorbed but we are once again good for the away point against another high flying side. Our physicality and work rate are second to none. Fantastic free kick and a great performance. Nmecha and DCL forcing good saves. Defensively solid #LUFC

Great first half, even in most areas and excelling on the overload. Darlow with a last mins ball slap away and Stach with a magical free kick. Performing very well and our midfield pushing forward shows slight dominance. #LUFC

Ampadu in midfield obviously. Darlow retains after the cup. DCL back. Big ask today against a strong well performing villa. Defensively solid and a physical midfield shall prevail. #LUFC

Yeah with the bloody weather this week. I am just used to writing it so much recently

We’ve only won 1 of 18 away games, but 5 of our last 6 on the road ended level. A point would be huge for survival, but a win moves us further from the drop. Let’s show that Leeds grit. Come on lads, lets av it. #PL

Set pieces could decide it. Villa are dangerous, but Joe Rodon has 10 attacking first contacts at corners, 2nd only to Haaland. We’ve only conceded 1 direct free kick all year. Defensive focus is vital. #SetPieces

Midfield is where we win this. We lead Villa in duel success (49% to 45.5%). Ampadu and Stach must disrupt Onana to break Villa's rhythm. If we win the second balls, we can expose their high line.

Watch the battle on our right. Jayden Bogle vs Rogers/Buendia. Rogers has 8 goals and 33 chances created this season. Bogle was carded in the reverse fixture and must stay disciplined to stop the supply. #Bogle #Rogers

Losing Noah Okafor to a hamstring strain (out 2 to4 weeks) is a twat for our pace. Thankfully, having Pascal Struijk, Anton Stach, and Dan James back in training is a huge boost for our depth. #Okafor

Farke was honest, we must be at our very best against Emery’s clear strategy. Emery expects a stubborn Leeds side. Both know the first 15 mins are key we’ve scored more early goals than anyone. #Farke #ALAW

The 2-1 loss at Elland Road still stings. We led through Nmecha, but Rogers’ brace including that late free kick turned it. We matched them for shots (14-14) that day, we just need to be clinical. #LeedsUnited

Villa Park under the lights. It’s a massive test for the lads. Villa are flying in 3rd, but we’ve shown real steel lately, losing only once in our last seven. Time to disrupt their UCL charge. #LUFC #MOT #AVLLEE

Bleeding Nora, what a game for the uninvolved. For us, nail biter, out played at times, lucky at others but we continue on after penalties. A game with two good saves from Perri and a sure difference between starters on. Not many cases for starts but Leeds march on #LUFC

I meant right

Well, extra time is not what we need at all but Birmingham certainly deserve it. Not at the races today. Aaronson and DCL changed the pace but still caught on the left a lot. Osman wasted many an opportunity and Leeds hanging on late. #LUFC

Nobody covering themselves in glory here. Formation not working, under the kosh. Gudmondsson and Justin still playing the 352 and pushing forward leaving us exposed to long balls with two CB. Needs changing #LUFC

Just what we want to see. Enough quality to create a cup run but some rotation for place fighting and player rest. #LUFC

While Forest sack Dyche and Spurs bin Frank, Leeds United show what stability looks like. Farke has built a culture of defiance. We’re 15th, 6 points clear, and fighting for every single blade of grass

We were lucky, let’s be honest. Palmer missing an open goal from two yards in stoppage time was a miracle. But you make your own luck with that level of resilience. We simply refused to be beaten today.

The leveler was pure chaos. Bogle bulldozed into the box again, elbowing the ball, Sanchez spilled it, and Noah Okafor was there to tap into an empty net. 73 minutes in and the Bridge was silenced by 3,000 raucous Yorkshiremen
