Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

[Keeper!]

Foden is not what many people here think he is,one trick pony,slow,technically inept,hopefully sold by the start of next season. Mahrez and Mendy can fuck off.

He is a young kid and showed with his Iceland antics he has so much to learn, expecting him to replace David Silva was a joke

There is absolutely no way to sugar coat. We're miles behind currently. We may improve when we get our full squad back, but fuck knows how far we'll be behind by then.

The full back will help a bit but the midfield is a complete mess.

And beyond that we’re moving a number of our best players from their most effective positions because we have our strikers injured and as a consequence we’re massively hampering ourselves. Sterling is much better on the left, where he scored 30+ goals last year and Foden has been outstanding on the right.

Pep seems to be losing the plot and we look a shadow of the side we were.

The positive was Dias. He looked assured. Good on the ball etc.

Started well and then fell off after 20 or so mins. Eddy made the error for the goal but kept City in it right till the end. In addition, Diaz made some crucial last ditch tackles.

Raz should’ve gotten 3 points but we know what happened. Poor performance from a number of players overall.

Feels like Pep may walk away at the end of the season. Kev looking unbothered every game when thin start going awry. There’s a fragility in the team that has finally manifested itself.

Regardless, through thick or thin we stick with them.

Edit: typo

And im telling why you should be mad mate. Id love not to be mad, but after a year of this shit its doing my head in. And before jump in with 'it used to be worse', yes i know, i had a season ticket when we didn't score at home after January. But this is now. We should be mad.

Don't have the energy to be mad for the sake of it.

I gave you what I think are valid reasons, we are playing every 3 days, and missing alot of the squad, and Leeds play crazy pressing like Liverpool.

I'm not just "Oh City should win everything no matter what, fuck this I'm mad". I am considering our circumstances.

Not replacing Silva Crazy

Not looking for long term replacement for Aguero, Crazy

Not replacing Fernandinho with a quality player, Crazy

Taking 12 months to replace Kompany, Crazy

Going after a 33yr old Messi, Crazy and idiotic

I agree, but if we would have got Messi he would have scored about 10 today! We need someone who can finish - desperately

Do you guys think us starting the season late had a negative impact on how we're playing?

 

[Metalartin]

Sterling had a chance to win that game for us but fluffed it. Mendy will take all the blame but KDB didn't have his best game either, he gave the ball away leading to quite a few counters for Leeds, all by not being aware of how much time/space he had. The passing was off all over the pitch at times too but perhaps credit has to be given to Leed's pressing, it's how Bielsa has them drilled.

We started well but dropped off after 25mins and gave Leeds time to grow into the game. We are not up to speed and it's hard to find rythm with all the changes that have been forced on the team. We need our strikers back, it's that simple. Every team would struggle without any fit strikers available... so give over with how much has been spent, it's irrelevant we have 2 strikers and 2 out injured.

Blame Pep all you like, we need our luck to change and fast or Liverpool will walk the league again. When was the last time VVD, Firmino and Mané were all unavailable for the same game?

 

[super_city_si]

The team has no shape or self belief. We can’t grind out a win. Champions win playing badly we can’t do that. Silva is badly missed, Mendy is done and we’ve limited options up front. This team is done

Hard to say what’s going to happen with Covid, but the way Liverpool throw the cups means 90 points is minimum to have a shot of winning the league If they avoid Covid. We aren’t getting that.

 

[half & half derby scarf]

Mahrez & Sterling are not the answer.

 

[Bill the Blue]

No fkin urgency whatsoever, Mahrez fkin ambling off when subbed, Walker taking an age to throw the fkin ball into play.

Mendy is trying my fkin patience big time..

We can't win every game but the least we can do is look at though we're fkin interested for a start..!
