Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

[Platt Lane veteran]

People in the match thread saying the title's gone????? After three fucking games!
Give your heads a wobble.

It's still early days, but we're nowhere near a team capable of making a proper go of it.

I think a lot of our players are average, we had no problem sustaining the first 20 mins 2 years ago We played at that level for 90

Lots of variables at play.

No actual striker up top, especially Jesus pressing was missing.

Ferran hasn't meshed with the squad yet, he didn't have a great game on the right, I think he needs to play on the left more and be tested as the striker instead.

Alot of the squad is out, and we are playing every 3 games so tiredness is coming in, especially against Leeds who press like Liverpool it was always going to be tough.

That is off the top of my head. It's why I'm not mad, and also this season just feels weird to me coming off all the covid stuff, I don't feel the same, maybe players have changed a bit over the past 5 months too.

Fuck me. We weren't great but it's hard to not feel like we've been shafted there. Should have had a pen and a red card for them.

Eddie with some worldie saves, but him pulling his best Pickford impression cost us.

Sterling isn't a striker, he just doesn't have the lethal streak, he scores a belter and his confidence should be sky high but one on one he cocks up.

Mahrez, fucking hell.

Pep's subs were good, if a little late. 4 3 3 defo.the answer.

Rodri immense. KDB out on his feet and it shows. Bernardo needs to start now.

Promising enough from Dias.

Shafted? Oh ffs come on. Play well for 25 min, go aghead and look like we're bossing it. Then play wank for the rest of the game, concede, maybe lose, have shite load of wank shots missing them all, game over. Its the same every fucking week and has been for a year.

Fook me I miss city.

International break has come at a good time. Need Aguero back big time. We was brilliant first half and second half we stopped playing/pressing. It’s almost as if they don’t back themselves to play like that all game anymore like we used too

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Glaring theme from today and last week is the players dont look fit.
What on earth are our mass army of backroom staff doing?

 

[pavelsrnicek]

No left back, no forward, no chance this season. Our finishing is awful. Sterling clean through and failed to get a shot on target sums us up. We may have some better defenders but our team shape is all over the place and there’s obviously no belief in that team. At no stage did it look like we were winning that despite late pressure.

Pretty clear Pep is off in the summer and based on our start we won’t make top 4. We rely entirely on KDB who was poor tonight. This team needed an overhaul and we sat on our hands. Think back to the 2015/16 season, that’s where we’re headed.

This is Pellegrinis last season all over again.

 

[chesterbells]

So frustrating; 14 attempts on target & 1 goal.
Btw, when did we last win a PL game one nil? We are so fragile.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Blatant penalty on Sterling not given in the final minutes the Dippers did the same and got their penalty , we didnt play well but neither did the Dippers against Leeds and they got bailed out by Oliver again , The Dippers have had decision for three seasons and it isnt going to change soon.
Our fitness levels dont look right , first 25 minutes and we blow teams apart and take the lead and then we run into a brick wall , not pickin gon individuals but there a few who need to step up and put a bit more into the game for 90 minutes not just 25 minutes

The brutal truth is that they are a lot better than us atm. Better players, better squad, better manager and better recruitment. Its a fucking disgrace that we have allowed it to happen with the momentum and starting position we had.
