Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

what happens to the handball rule? every penalty last week was a weaker claim than the one Today where he slowed bernardos shot With his hand.

It was handball but we don't get them

What utter tosh that Pep wants it more than anybody, works harder than anybody...
It's a nice dream, but has absolutely no substance to it at all.

I don't doubt he wants to win the title again, or that he works hard, but this 'more than anybody' crap is just romantic rhetoric. He'll be off soon, and wanting to win with some other club.

Thought Dias had a decent game.

Yeah agree, he is a big unit but moves really well, good awareness, for his first game really good

 

[Neville Kneville]

The body language of the team, lack of courage and energy that is making it clear something is really amiss.

Some are ignoring it, but it's very obvious, the pundits know it & our opponents know it.

Hopefully, it's down to our shit preparation & we can recover.

Am I the only one who’s kind of ’okay’ with this result?
You guys have to be able to see how well Leeds play? Chelsea, United or Arsenal can’t play like this.

They can play well - like West Ham can when they're on song. Watch Leeds though and you'll find a Kevin Keegan type naïveté in how they want to play.

Their style will get them plenty of points to stay up prob evem top half, - but against antone decent who knows what they're doing they will be torn apart defensively.

Today thìs was our undoing. Without a striker, we didn't really know what to do up front - and so had tonnes of 'nearly' breaks without any final output.

Criminal oversight by Pep imho (in nit changingto take advantageof the masses of space in the middle) - game was there for the taking.

Pep made the right changes. They came late, but they almost certainly prevented us from losing the game.
With a better front three we win the game comfortably. Usually the defense is to blame, but not today. Their chances came from our three attackers and Foden giving the ball away repeatedly. If they then can't put the ball in the net then we're always going to have difficulties winning games. At no point did Mahrez and Torres seriously threaten their goal. That is just not good enough for a team that wants to be winning things.

Yep, golden boy Phil kept losing it in midfield and leaving us open to the counter.

 

[DMA's]

You’d probably think they were suicidal if we lost ffs!

Not at all, but you’d have to be Stevie wonder if you can’t see things are not right at the mo

We've had a few seasons of beautiful football after a first season where teams knew how to play against us and do us on the break.

It feels like after Leicester last game and a lot of last season either teams have found us out again. Or we've not found another way to play.


We could concentrate on being great defensively but they'll sit back it will be 0 0. But then with our quality could we not do that (sit back) yet still have the quality to score goals whereas these teams won't be able to get past our defense?


That's got to be better than sacrificing the defence in order to provide the attack with extra help when what usually happens is if we don't score then we let goals in.


I don't know what the answer is but I feel like the current attempt to find out hasn't worked all last season and isn't looking like it's going to work this one either.

Funny how you only turn up after a bad result...

Need a guide on how to make a tinfoil hat?

 

[WestGorton]

No David. No Gundo. We close the midfield.
