Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

Does anyone think maybe Pep may have lost the dressing room a bit, after the farce against Lyon maybe some of those players are thinking that he’s stuck in his ways and we won’t progress. This is not a hate Pep thing but KDB must be looking at this and the recruitment and may start looking away for his champions league trophy. There’s not a chance in hell we are getting near it at the moment and I think we lost our best chance to do it over the last two seasons. Pep doesn’t seem to want to trust certain players and they maybe a bit if last season mentality if Pep is going.

It would take a brave player to tell Pep he is doing it wrong...Would you???
Or do you want to be frozen out???
 
I'll throw in that in successive matches we have had players shielding the ball blatantly kicked on the legs. I've no idea what these refs see.

(Did we find out why Bernado was booked midweek for getting fouled?)
 
I'll tell you what the problem is and you can disagree all day long NO FANS in the ground no,12th man every game, no one to spur them on, they play for the fans,it is like a training game there is no spirit in the team. I wouldn't like to go out on a pitch like that and play in front of no one it must be demoralising ( it is for me!). Yeah okay they get paid a shit load of money but I am not making excuses for the team. I hate it at the moment they should have postponed this season for a little bit longer until we can get back and support our team. Covid is a bastard I have lost 2 friends to it so far this year no more please. And as for the game too lack from us too many chances squandered

Funnily enough I think we tried to be more cautious against Leeds after we had taken the lead. We weren't as wide open as against Leicester. Leeds had to work much harder for their chances than Leicester did. We'll never know what would have happened if Ederson had not gifted them one.
With a few more games I reckon Dias and Laporte could hugely change things for us. Let's hope Ake can do well at left back. He's a proper defender.

I agree completely but there still wide open spaces too often. If these were signs of Pep moving in the right direction (by my reckoning) that is encouraging and you can't expect instant perfection but the issue is that we cannot afford to fall far behind while Pep makes any changes. No pre-season was a bitch for us.

Tell that to Everton and Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

Exactly they won’t but that doesnt mean they don’t think it and their performance can reflect that, I believe KDB was throwing his hands in the air yesterday at Mahrez constantly cutting in, so if he thinks selection is wrong then it’s frustrating him and he’s one player we don’t want to lose in a rebuild.
 
During the matchday thread yesterday, I saw a few posts suggesting Pep although physically at the games has his mind on other (personal) matters.... what were they referring to please?

Exactly this. If actors performed at the palace theatre without an audience then they would not perform to their best abilities.
