Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

No preseason and just 3 games into the season, enough time to improve.
Past 5 months have shown how important aguero and sane were for this team.
make that 12 months in terms of Sane, the problems were there all last season, and nothing has changed and I am not sure it will ever change
 
Like I said before the first game, I'll be happy with top three this season. We're simply nowhere near as good as we were a few seasons ago. Not sure Pep and his assistants have it in them to return us to that kind of form.
If we manage to finish any better than 4th we will have done well with this squad

Need to sort out the manager situation by december, by then we can make more realistic assessment of where this squad stands and what we need.Next 2 transfer windows very important and what we do will give an indication of intentions of the board.
 
Blaming the squad would be a pretty weak move. It's still arguably the best in the league but we're not getting the best out of the players.
More accurately they were the best in the league.Now, we need to argue if we still have a best 11 in the league.

On current form even KDB would struggle to get in the scousers team and no one else would for sure.
 
Bit of a weird feeling after that draw. I think last season we'd have caved in to the pressure and lost it, but we had chances aplenty to pull away too at one nil. I think in part that is because of the two decisions towards the end of the game leavings sour taste. Is handball a penalty or not now, because it certain did hit the Leeds players arm and we've seen them given, even against us, for that. Then that shocker from Dallas, a pure red all day long, no VAR review and lucky there was no injury.

Let's take the positives, Bernardo is back and up until the booking Mendy looked ok, in fact the two past games he's looked like he's woken up to the fact that he could be on the way out. I'd still play Ake or Cancelo there though. Dias looks competent, we may just have two solid central defenders again!

Add Aguero back into the mix and we'd have probably won too, Leeds will give a few teams trouble and undoubtedly raised their game against us.

Long way to go, will be a stupidly daft season anyway. True that champions win games like that and I don't think we will win it ultimately, but we're certainly still good enough for top 4. We have the experience, just need one win to start a run and we'll be chugging along nicely. I know it looks dark now, Everton are on fire and there are others winning well too, but take out James, Calvert Lewin, or at Arsenal Aubameyang, and even today it seems Liverpool will be without Mane and Salah, then it's going to be a topsy turvy messed up season.

Now for a completely pointless international break. Such a shame England aren't playing Greece away...

Kevin is class it's just quality in front of him which is the problem.Can't expect kevin to do everything from linking play from defense to midfield and then assisting and scoring goals.Kevin could easily made at least 2 assists yesterday.

He is a magnificent player, but is a player becoming more and more frustrated with each game.

The Lyon game affected KDB so much, I think he is seriously starting to doubt his manager and tactics.
 
Great game to watch, shit result.
mahrez is awful, Torres too soon.
Foden and Kevin need forwards to work with so I don’t blame them, defending looked better to me, apart from Mendy.
Two week break ahead, get players back and hopefully no injuries from internationals. Not all that bad.

Mahrez is a square peg in a round hole.

From what I have seen pep and kevin have a good relationship, and kevin appreciates pep for improving his game.
Frustration I think comes from his ambition.Kevin knows his own quality,he is in his prime years and obviously wants compete at the highest level.Just look at what messi does at barca, and not just this season. The quality of transfer signings especially upfront hardly inspire confidence that we can compete at the highest level this season.

If he does not sign an extension during this International break his time is over, there has to be a decision , Pep has to show commitment to the club but far more importantly the dressing room.
 
You can't see everything on TV but twice I was shouting "where is everybody?". One was when Leeds were attacking and it wasn't a breakaway but they had four on four in our penalty area and no other defender in shot. The other was Walker bombing forward and the screen showed him and 7 Leeds defenders, and that wasn't the only time when the player with the ball didn't have a single option let alone multiple options.

“Where is everybody” - Same here. No one in defence but not one upfront either
