Leeds (H) | Post Match Thread

Only important if we beat Dortmund.

Exactly, win the game in front of you. Pep says one game at a time then starts thinking two games ahead, with no guarantees of success in doing so. Anyway it's over now, done.

Why didn’t John stones just snap that Dallas and take the red card. Sometimes gotta be done

A shirt pull would have sufficed tbh

Leeds did not need to be that good. We played without any intent or intensity, they were allowed a lot of time on the ball for their counters. And they only needed it 2/3 times. Could have scored the Raphinha chance earlier. It happens when there are several changes and players who are on the bench have to try and do extra to justify a start, struggled with the tempo all game.

I do believe we are good when we are knocked down, because if I've learnt anything from Pep's tenure, is he has a magical way of getting players up and ready again for a response. I'm sure the lads will be gutted and looking to do a solid job at Dortmund.

Well yeah, the lads will, the lads who were watching from the stand that is.

I accept resting KDB, but Dias, especially as La Porte wasn’t fit.

It would have been a stroll today for Dias and Stones. A 90 minute training session if Pep had left Dias in for the full game?

Pep the meddler. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. You can’t tell me Dias is exhausted. Utter tosh.

Strange man Bielsa fucking crackers

Leeds are no mugs either and next season they will be very dangerous if they recruit right so in all not the end of the world but players like sterling need to take along look at themselves because he was shit .

As long as Pep doesn't blow to much smoke up Dortmunds arses we should be ok.

Hate when he does that, it inevitably comes back to bite us on the arse.

the Rags, Leeds Lyon

Should be wrapping the league up ASAP. Ridiculous today. And a red card in for insult to injury...

It was a very poor performance but before the game, I suspect we all would have said that some players needed resting, as suggested in the Dortmund first leg post match thread. No matter how deep your squad, wholesale changes, especially ones incorporating players who have barely featured, is bound to affect your play. We should not have lost that game but some players were very, very poor: Cancelo and Sterling, notably.

Sterling absolutly abysmal needs 10 chances to score a goal and his control and speed of thought is woeful
