Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

#ManCity have now allowed 14 shots on target across their last two games - more than any other team in the #PL in that timeframe.

This doesnt surprise me! lack of protection in front of the back 4....most of us have been screaming out for more pace/energy in DM...Fern cant do it for 90mins anymore....we needed more than CB's this summer...

Ederson is shite, few decent saves tonight to keep us in it(As expected from a keeper) but all too often gives goals away. Great on the ball but he's a keeper and not very good

 

[Keeper!]

fanny wipes ltd be doing a roaring trade tonight then, Leeds played well, they're a good side and full of energy, that was a tough game, stop being so fucking entitled

That attitude and the banner will soon be back up at old trafford

 

[lazerblue]

WTF has happened to us? I missed the first half but what I saw was dogshit.

fantastic until we scored and then for some inexplicable reason turned to dogshit

 

[domalino]

Fuck me Mr "RCB" is back....go on I suppose we could do with a new QB....

Do we really need to attack someone for saying RCB instead of right sided centre back?

 

[WallyA]

We were only Agüero short of our full strength XI today.

No we were missing Jesus, and started new boy Ferran.

Mahrez also told to play out of position as well, and these players have been mostly playing all the games recently because we have no squad and had no pre season.

Papers over the cracks

Talking of cracks, I think I can see some in you.

You only post when when we don't win.

Chelsea away last season there you are.
Utd away last season there you are.

What's up can't you bring yourself to post when we win?

Gotcha.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

We have some of the most talented footballers playing for us in the world who are possibly the mentally weakest too. Fucking mind boggling

 

[Neville Kneville]

Yes I think I agree but I think I’ve found the the reason why midfield is such a problem: we’ve declined in defending from the front.

Mahrez isn’t the reason why we didn’t win but his pressing was so lazy that 8 speculate it kind of rubbed off on Torres as well. Torres is the new guy so I can't blame him. If Mahrez, a senior player, is working his butt off, he’d be following suit.

Sterling worked hard but it doesn’t matter if only one third of the front line is showing conviction.

If our forwards worked harder in the press, our midfield could have players slower than Busquets and we’d still be fine.

Our pressing from the front has gone from near footballing benchmark to unremarkable.

Look at how much running Walker did, just trying to fill holes. We are not athletic enough as a team.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Same in the CL fumbled one into the Lyon players feet, Southampton chipped like a mug. I think he's average simple as that.

Simple fact is if our forward players take their opportunities the the odd mistake by Ederson doesnt matter , he made three match saving saves whilst our forward fluffed a dozen chances , aim your ire at the outfield players not Ederson

 

[Keeper!]

Ederson is shite, few decent saves tonight to keep us in it(As expected from a keeper) but all too often gives goals away. Great on the ball but he's a keeper and not very good

LOL he was immense today

 

[Marvin]

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.

The result was bad. The performance was OK. We're just missing our strikers. If liverpool were missing Salah and Mane, I think they might struggle in front of goal.

 

[give it to gordon]

Blimey some people are losing it already. Fitness is an issue at the moment with some of our players. We have chances but no natural finisher. We don't get the penalties we should unlike other teams. Let's see if the Scousers luck continues all season because they are beatable too.

Yep we are nowhere near match fix and it shows, plus both strikers are out. This season was always going to be abit of a farce. Both teams looked dead on their feet for the last 15 minutes or so, but us more so

I'm going to haunt you like a bad smell.

Mixed

 

[BolinCell]

Very good post but knee jerk after games by quite a few of us even me is how it is now. It’s long season with a lot games in a short space of time we desperately need Jesus or Aguero back because tonight with Aguero in our team we would won that game.

Why are we not in for a new forward, Aguero is injury prone and Jesus needs help.

 

[remember arthur mann]

A new team, new players, what do you expect ? This is the difference when you lose world class players, Touré, Silva, Kompany. We need to get rid of the deadwood, Walker, Mendy, Mahrez etc.

Are we dropping expectations? Let me have a go....

look we got twatted at home against a top 6 team last week. A draw against a promoted team away is a good result.

How is that?

 

[Moggzy]

Are you on drugs!

he made a boat load of class saves.
Put the skol down and go to bed lad

 

[Burtonblue]

I think you probably are

No he’s not
Leeds were good value today
We are missing recognised strikers and had it not been for an uncharacteristic error by Ederson we would have won that (and VAR of course!)
