Head and shoulders above everyone today

Sumptuous

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Leeds let Stones have the ball and drive forward with it because ultimately they were fairly sure he wouldn’t actually create anything too dangerous. Lots of poor shooting and neat possession but Bielsa will have been delighted that Stones had such a monopoly on the ball at times

yhp, whilst it looked great it was the epitome of "this isn't working".

Good game today

 

[Lavinda Past]

Looked like Roy of the Rovers at times today. He and Fernandinho were the only ones who actually looked like they wanted to score.

They play man to man. The reason they were wide open in the second half was because they were a man down, so no CF (Bamford) to check their runs.

This is why it was IMPERATIVE to bring on KDB, put Torres & Foden out wide, and play with two of the best creators (KDB & IG) in the world around their box for 30-45 minutes!

Kev was not well pleased with warming up for half of the second half, only to watch their second goal go in! Threw up his hands, as if to say, “Fuck me!”

Was culpable for their second but he looked knackered, otherwise I think he gets there. saw him numerous times before that bent over catching his breath because he had to do so much in midfield. Was our main source of threat today which is quite alarming for our so called forward players.
