Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

[Nasher]

Should of been over after 30 mins,if you dont take your chances ,you put yourself under pressure,not clinical enough,and ffs sterling shoot.

 

[Keeper!]

The first 45 against Wolves, the first 30 against Leicester, the first 10 against Leeds all excellent then we drop off alarmingly.

Confidence and lack of faith in the manager.

 

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

That's the spirit flower.

Tell you what if you think that why don't you stop posting utter shite on here then, kills two birds with one stone, don't you think?

I mean it's not like you post that often and when you do it's a pile of wank.

Worst wum I've seen on here and I've seen a few.

Go on son, go and finish reading your book before the light gets switched off, there's a good boy.

There's a few about....

Simple fact is if our forward players take their opportunities the the odd mistake by Ederson doesnt matter , he made three match saving saves whilst our forward fluffed a dozen chances , aim your ire at the outfield players not Ederson

Problem is our forwards are both injured. Sterling can score but he can miss he's a wide player, Pep will never turn him into a centre forward because if it was that easy he would of been a center forward when we bought him. Mahrez scores 1 worldie every 2 to 3 months so don't expect him to score regularly either, he's also a wide inside forward.
Its glaringly obvious whats happening we have no forwards, doesn't excuse the goalie making boo boo's though does it.

In terms of quality Leeds created a lot more/better chances than us. Apart from Sterling’s goal and messed up chance we created nothing.

That's silly. It's not white or black, either a clear cut chance or nothing. We had many shots from decent situations. And the handball came after a great situation to score.

If we don't take into account both non-pens, Raz's chance, and 20 shots, then yes, we created nothing.

1 1 away Leeds will be seen as a decent result come xmas

i suspect it will if we are in the top three at Christmas ..... but i doubt it will be if we aren't in the top six.

Fair result and a great game of football played by the leagues most and only entertaining teams.

Diaz was very very good.

 

[RobMCFC]

Don’t think we were that bad; Rodri looked god in midfield today, Dias and Laporte did ok. Sterling had a good game and scored a well-taken goal. Ederson made 3 or 4 excellent saves, which is why it was a shame he made the error that cost us 2 points.

Mahrez needs to learn to pass more and Mendy is not a left back.

 

[DTKOAG]

The gaffs from Ederson are getting more frequent & worrying..

 

[Cheeky Txiki]

I think the biggest problem is Pep's contract decision. There is an air of doom and gloom around this club due to its uncertainty.

The time for Pep to make his call is NOW. Right now, tell us if you want the rebuild or you are leaving at the end of the season so we can bring in Nagelsmann or Pochettino.

These sort of privileges aren't given to any manager at the highest level. He has to tell us his decision so we can at least look forward to next seasons.

 

[Keeper!]

Think we thought we’d get by with Jesus till Aguero gets back we didn’t bank on Jesus getting injured. Also seems this season our priority was sane replacement and a centre back.

the last 2 summers we have got it very wrong, Tixki is making a balls up of our squad, the quality is diminishing rapidly as is the $, the dude has made some poor , poor buys

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Am I the only one who’s kind of ’okay’ with this result?
You guys have to be able to see how well Leeds play? Chelsea, United or Arsenal can’t play like this.

The result isn’t why I’m frustrated.

 

[warringtonblue]

Teams who challenge for the league win games against promoted teams. That's not being entitled at all.
Unless you are simple and don't understand what entitled means. Then I understand where you're coming from

When we’ve won the league we’ve dropped points against relegated sides

 

[Jumanji]

Rodri was the best player on the park today.

I thought he made correct decisions almost every time. However, his effectiveness is impacted by our press.

How was our press? Well fuck. My four-year-old son told me during the match asked me, “Daddy why don’t city take the ball?” Now he doesn’t know about pressing, but maybe he actually does and I’m not giving the snot-nosed brat any credit because he said it during a moment where their defence got the ball from the keeper and Mahrez just stayed 20 yards away, and relaxed on the pitch and let them play.

I’m not a huge Rodri fan but I guess I drank enough 9.5% beers to look at him objectively and I truly believe after today that if our forwards worked harder, this guy would be shining.

 

[CC1]

Confidence and lack of faith in the manager.

Or is it because we had almost no break after CL & no pre season.

 

[Adrian]

Boys do we miss Arteta some kind of way ?

 

[Keeper!]

The gaffs from Ederson are getting more frequent & worrying..

What about the managers gaffs? nearly every game?

 

[teddykgb]

Never a corner for there goal. Changing a rule in an ongoing season is a farce.. so its a pen one week and not the other.. also pen on sterling after. Ignored red at the end.. There not even hiding it.

I had meant to watch that back it looked like he just shot it wide? Was it a corner?

 

[smallsteve]

Very impressed with Dias and we could easily have lost that with any other in his position. He keeps a cool head and makes intelligent decisions. Reckon he’ll be a real gem.
Mendy on the other hand, i was expecting to get sent off at any moment. Players go around him like he’s not there and then there are his mistakes! He regularly passes to the opposition and i don’t agree with anyone that thinks he had a good game. All teams know to atttack down the right, as we have the red carpet rolled-out!
Very worrying that Ederson is dropping howlers. Yes he pulled out some blinders, but the kind of mistakes he’s making are schoolboy errors.
Just as worrying is the striker situation. Aguero regularly injured and Jesus has a poor conversion rate, albeit he does score a fair few goals. This looks like it is going to be the situation until next season and it’s going to be a long one!
I seriously think we’re going to struggle with top four this season and i honestly don’t think that will translate into a new contract for Pep!
We are looking like a decent team and no more. All teams in the division will fancy having a go at us. Defend with your lives for 20-mins, then attack, attack, attack!

Think there's been an over reaction to this game probably due to where we currently are and with last week's defeat still raw. It was a good game and we played well for a good portion of the game considering no pre-season, covid, injuries, fixture congestion etc. I think there were enough signs of things coming together in that game.

But we do need a striker and we have two glaring weaknesses in Mendy and Mahrez. We better be working round the clock these next couple of days because we still need players.
