Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

Foden anonymous, Bernado 12 months out of form, no striker bought when we need a third option. Sterling is not a striker obviius when clean through twice and checked back. Also people underestimate what Gundogan does. He gets slaggedoff but does what Xavi did for Barca keeps the ball moving.

Both your first points are true about Foden and Bernardo. However, IMHO we should stick with these two as they give much needed energy as well as talent. Foden still has to develop consistency. Bernie still needs to play his way back into form. With a little perseverance, both could repay in dividends.

i just think we're in for another really disappointing season. yesterday's result was expected, and not saying i expected us to get humped by leicester but i had a feeling we'd drop points.

This is a team lacking in ideas, most teams have sussed us out.

Dont get me wrong, i think we'll have some great results this season but i think we'll be very inconsistent. Can see us dropping a lot of points to mediocre teams

Exactly how I feel. We'll have great spells this season but be nowhere near consistent enough to challenge.

Teams simply were terrified of attacking us, because our press was so aggressive and the ball quickly got back and another attack launched with pace , power and incredible movement.

All gone last season and no signs of anything different so far this season.

Totally agree mate..the tiki taki has gone..ok we have injuries but even then the zippyness...is that a word..has gone..
Remember,we played Utd and passed the ball 44 times and they didn't get a sniff
Where has that gone????
 
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.

This is gonna be a weird season. Nobody has had a proper pre season. Most clubs are gonna suffer fatigue and inevitable injuries and there will be lots of odd results with the best teams getting beaten more often than usual

We were always gonna suffer more than most at the start as we have had even less time to recover and prepare for the new season

I expect that as the season goes on we will get stronger compared to other teams and the strength of depth in our squad will come to the fore. No need to panic yet

While it’s true there hasn’t been a proper pre-season, players had an exceptionally long breather due to COVID.
 
I appreciate Pep and his philosophy but I would admire the coach more if he now changes the tactics. He learned off Cruyff and now if he wants to evolve he needs to learn again.

Sticking his head in the sand is only going to leave us beaten on the pitch.

We need to make teams come at us again. As tolmie alluded to. Pep must see what we all see he can only decide if he wants to implement the changes necessary or leave it to a new coach.
