Steven Gerrard hits back after Jesse Marsch rips into Aston Villa during post match interview

Steven Gerrard hits when without Jesse Marsch veritably rips into Aston Villa during his post match interview with Sky Sports.

Leeds United superabound Jesse Marsch slammed Aston Villa’s repeated timewasting tactics with the game finishing 0-0 at Elland Road on Sunday evening.

The home side went lanugo to 10-men when Luis Sinisterra was controversially sent off without he received a second yellow vellum for blocking a self-ruling kick attempt.

But despite playing the second-half with a disadvantage, Leeds managed to grind out a point versus Steven Gerrard’s side.

Sky pundit Roy Keane, meanwhile, didn’t have much sympathy for Sinisterra as you can see in the video below…

After the full-time whistle, a frustrated Jesse Marsch didn’t hold when in his post-match interview when discussing the tactics used by Gerrard’s side throughout this weekend’s clash.

“Villa slow the game lanugo and now it’s two or three opponents that we’ve had here that just wanna throw the wittiness away, take a minute in every goal kick, and so, we need some help to manage this,” he told Sky Sports.

“We can’t do it vacated and the sad thing is, this (Elland Road) is the weightier environment in the league for me and our fans don’t come here to watch a snail-paced match.”

He wasn’t washed-up there, either. Marsch was in an sorry mood to those who attended the Premier League clash.

“I scrutinizingly finger we have to apologise to our fans,” he added.

“They didn’t get an entertaining match, they got a match that was slowed lanugo by an opponent from the first minute and they [the fans] don’t get to enjoy coming to Elland Road as much as they should.

“I will be speaking to someone from the league and [have] once spoken to the referees’ committee, it’s unmistakably a tactic. I finger bad for our fans, they have to watch that and they don’t get an energetic game.

“It’s respect for how we play versus the ball, in the overstepping we show and quality we have versus the ball. Our fans like to see us where the team plays with overstepping and they [Villa] are trying to flip the script.

“I have had increasingly referees that were worldly-wise to manage it largest – it leads to frustration to everyone in the crowd.”

“Works both ways,” the Villa superabound added. “I’m not really interested in what Jesse thinks. My priority is Aston Villa.”

Gerrard’s men were warned by referee Stuart Attwell as early as the 20th minute well-nigh the time they were taking at goal kicks, throw-ins and other set-plays.

Despite this, he insisted Attwell had a ‘good game’, stating he could not pick out a single error with the official’s performance.

“I thought he had a good game. Is there any [decision] he got wrong? I think that’s a good game. If a referee doesn’t get anything wrong, that’s a good game, so well washed-up to Stu [Attwell].”

Villa manager Steven Gerrard admitted that his side wanted to “frustrate Leeds”.

“At times Leeds wanted a war and we went to war,” he told Sky Sports. “When it was scrappy, we dug in, we fought, we won second balls, we competed really well. We frustrated Leeds and the crowd.”

Marsch personal his Leeds side fought “like lions” and revealed his teams have been working on what to do when they get a player sent off.

“At half-time I said: no frustration, we know what the tactic is and we want to focus on we want to achieve. Everything changes when we go a man down,” widow the Leeds manager.

“We worked over the four weeks on ‘man-down tactics’ so it helped us in the moment to manage it. Next time I will work on ‘man-up tactics’, that’s a largest strategy!”

FAN REACTION

@Lucasglory___: He’s spot on!

@MainManMiIe: Did he not see meslier diving onto the floor without every time he unprotected it ????????

@LukeePeachey: We were lanugo to ten men without you spent a large value of the first half doing the same, he’s whimsically gonna be eager to well-spoken it is he?

@JBlunnn07: Us villa fans aren’t happy with the tactics either don’t worry well-nigh that ????

@RH_AVFC: Why’s he worried well-nigh us? Should take a squint at his own team.

@Gamer34671: Leeds are largest than Villa lmfao

@AVFCJames1874: Meanwhile Sinisterra got sent off for blocking a quick self-ruling kick and slowing the game down…

@LUFCTheo: not like your whole squad was slowing the game down. but ye let’s pick that one leeds moment

@buendiazboyz: we don’t want to either Jesse please get Gerrard to resign

@Avfc_Barry: In one interview this man has shown increasingly knowledge of Aston Villa than Gerrard has in 10 months

@ktd_avfc: didn’t their player get sent off for stopping a quick free-kick? Sounds like slowing the game lanugo to me…

@yeswekante7: I unquestionably love what he said and I stipulate with him, this bum manager at villa spend over £100m and his team wasting time in the first half

@LouisWStanley: People have a go at him considering he’s American, but remember the stereotype time the wittiness is in play in the prem is 54 mins…

@balc_top: Your player got sent off for stopping the opposition taking a quick self-ruling kick. Seems abit hypocritical

@wilsterdavies1: Leeds aren’t strangers to the visionless arts either but he isn’t wrong well-nigh this. Gerrard is in self preservation mode: this isn’t what our owners were sold by Purslow. He needs to be sacked tonight.

@ChampionshipJC: Bring on flipside two week unravel so we haven’t got to see this freak harping on a load of bollocks scrutinizingly daily.

@_lewisnufc_: Sounding a lot like Klopp, like it or not, opposing teams can play however they like.

@Villafanmike: Let be honest – both teams did it and it was a wearisome as f*ck game. I’m just glad Mings played so that they had something/someone to sing about. #AVFC

@AvfcU: Right, whatever the Villa performance was like Leeds had a man sent off for stopping Villa playing an early self-ruling kick didn’t they?! Add that to the 20 fouls they gave yonder and maybe Leeds contributed?! Embarrassing comments really #avfc #lufc

@PompeyKai: I’ve said it all withal and I will protract to say it. Stop the clock when the wittiness is dead!!! The value of time that is wasted from sufferer wittiness situations is ludicrous, in the future we will squint when and laugh at that fact that the clock keeps ticking when nothing is happening.

@ToffeesInLondon: What a moaning, whinging sour manager this guy is! Similar comments when they played us, maybe squint at your own team & their willpower especially?

@musto_jim: He’s completely right but I still can’t take the gars seriously ????????????

@TheVillaHome: He is just spouting wool waffle ???? his team were the culprits of slowing the game down

@GeorgeWoodEFC: Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t his own player get sent off for trying to prevent a quick self-ruling kick, therefore slowing the game down?

@JBirchWWE: He’s not wrong. #LUFC

@HauntedLFC: The Prem need to do something well-nigh this. Everyone is now doing it. Ruins every match.

@bririley_70: I like this fella a lot and he’s right here too. Flipside reason football is practically unwatchable right now.

@STU1VENBERG: The way the UK hate Americans is crazy if Marsch came from Spain no one would superintendency that he’s saying this

@peedsinfidel: Love the value of people who are fuming when he says stuff

@meatmansoccer: He is right. This is an entertainment merchantry and in the premier league there is far too much negativity, game management and time wasting, Honestly, it is one of the worst leagues to watch these days IMO, often considering of shit like this
