Leeds (H) | Post Match Thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

The thing is, I should know better because its always the same names.

Go back to the Pep thread in November and you'll see the overlap between people saying Guardiola should be sacked and he's been found out/lost the dressing room are exactly the same people having a massive hissy fit because we lost our second game in 6 months.

Same people who wanted Gundogan sold etc.

And unfortunately they shout the loudest, try and outdo each other with the most extreme comments and then abuse anyone not having a temper tantrum.

Everyone knew going into this game its by far our least important of the 8 game period its in (Dortmund-Leeds-Dortmund-Chelsea FA cup semi-Villa-CL semi-Spurs cup final-CL semi). Everyone saw the massively roated lineup. How can you be that surprised when the team is well below normal levels?

Genuinely astonishing to me that this needs spelling out. Of our generally agreed current best 11, 3 started today. If we'd started Gundo or Kev or Foden and one had got injured, can you imagine how fuming everyone would be.

Really ? The guy was a disaster..

How so? What did he do that was so bad? Also considering he has not played in how many weeks? He cleared the ball out, he made safe passes. What did he do that was such a disaster? Please enlighten me

Of course we deserve to win the league, but we haven't yet. If Spurs win tomorrow I won't give a fuck about this game.

I would have taken a draw before kick off. Hell, I'd have taken one at half time. But to dominate and lose like that to 10 men is ridiculous, and it could have been avoided if Pep had made better changes, and earlier.

And if Gundogan, Foden or KDB had come on after 50 minutes and been injured youd be screaming and shouting about Pep making the wrong decision to bring them on.

Zin was quality, that kid never lets us down, quality player and guy.

I tot he was fine. Just not great. John stood out as fantastic all around. Zin was decent.

I'm not but as it stands it's 14 and I don't think about ifs

That’s fair enough, but we have a shitload of games coming up in quick succession and if we prioritise cups like we did today then shit could hit the fan

Give him a break first game for the best part of 6 months

This forum attracts the very worst type of fan.

Worst. But also the best I think. :)

Too many changes , 4 or 5 i can understand but changing 7 players is over the top there is zero continuity , the Zinchenko experiment in midfield did'tn work , he's called little Kev for a reason , a good left back and that is all.

Zin was ok. It was just John who was good. Fern was decent on the ball. Abysmal on both goals. So he was poor in my opinion.

Dinho badly at fault on both goals although not solely responsible but he has to pick Dallas up. Much of his play was good but those are goals that we should not concede.

We know why we lost. We played a weakened team but when you play a weakened team you have to put 1-2 players out who can beat a man when you know they will defend penalty area. Really Mahrez should have been on on the hour mark and we'd have won that. Instead we've lost.

Does it matter? Probably not.
