Leeds (H) | Post Match Thread

[OB1]

That’s 14 losses from 1-0 down at HT!

I do wonder if there is a bit of a psychological flaw in the team on that front or just an unhappy coincidence?

The way we responded to Dortmund scoring in the week showed plenty of mental strength.

I think you should check United's schedule. Spurs, Leicester, liv, villa(a), wolves(a),leeds(a) are no pushover, plus Thursday night football which will be their priority considering the chance of silverware.
I strongly believe we won't need more than 5 points.
I get it Pep took a big risk, but rather take that and go all in on the cups, than winning the PL at a canter and regret what might have been.

Should bin off the CL and focus on domestic treble. We aint winning the Quad so why try it?

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

Only important if we beat Dortmund.

I'd rather put the league to bed first, then concentrate on the other comps. League is the most important to me

Europa travelling back and forth is a massive factor, and much more tiring than CL ties. Their depth is shite. Not buying this bottle nonsense lol, we will be fine. Team cannot win every game.

flip side of winning 3 or fewer cups but going down in infamy worse than the Geordies for bottling the title to the Rags from an unassailable position. Know which I prefer, just get the job done which we should be capable of without slip-ups like this.

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

No excuse. We had more than enough good players to win today. It just goes to show that we don’t have enough match winners but plenty of squad members.

Rather win CL + PL and bin off the cups.

Exactly right, there’s no point dominating in the league if you don’t take the chance to rest players for a champions league quarter final. It would’ve been crazy to play KDB, Foden, Diaz, and then find everyone runs out of steam on Wednesday.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

No excuses today but why on earth were we not awarded a penalty for the shirt pull on Stones?
Liverpool/United get these penalties every-other-game (especially when its 0-0)
Look at that southampton pen the other week! Pisses me off

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Pep really can't win. Through rotation he's kept this squad in contention for a quadruple. Yet so many people can't seem to wait to crucify him for it the moment it goes wrong. That team should have had enough, especially against 10 men.

Fair shout, do think he should've tackled.

but this is business end of the season, say stones is out for next couple games, maybe the red shoots his confidence down, maybe there's an injury. You're just inviting more trouble. No need for a red in that case. You can always look at the positives

 

[WestGorton]

I am mostly annoyed at not getting a draw. The goals we do concede are e similar. Breakaway and bypassed.

Strange man Bielsa fucking crackers

Really is the hardest job in the world. Being a perfectionist and each draw/loss is under the microscope at all times, and your previous victories are disregarded.

It’s the same old suspects (bores) who can’t wait to criticise pep.

must have a sad life if they cannot just enjoy the football under him rather than look for every opportunity to try and be a smart arse

 

[wilton st blue]

Fuck the fucking Champions League what a fucking piece of fucking shit of a tournament it is.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Out and out robbery, a mugging of the finest quality so fair play to the barstewards. If it was us we'd all be jumping for joy.

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.
