Leeds United (A) | Post Match Thread

I know, that's why I didn't question it. I hope for a great second season
I didn't question I just said I will give him one season and then make a judgement as I do all new players.

When I got a new class each September I gave them until Christmas to settle in. I know, a bit of a daft analogy but we can't expect players to settle immediately, especially a bloke from foreign climes like Grealish.....think about it..... The North West of England and Manchester (City) in particular is the best place to be in the world and they have to have a while to marvel at our superiority!!! :-) ;-)
 
I’ve never been too worried on that score, pal… the fact we are 2 goals off the greatest attacking team of all time (with no recognised striker), and conceded one less, measured upon the god like defence marshalled by van dyckhead, kind of tells us all we need to know, a media driven agenda perpetuated by subscription l…..

yes the dippers are a great team but just look at the clamouring for a clean sweep by the same people who vilified our attempts (plural), we’ve been close on 2 previous occasions!
Deep down they all know what's coming in future seasons, with Pep staying, Haaland and Alvarez coming in, Foden getting better and better, our academy dominating and providing top players, and they all are absolutely shitting it!

So they desperately want the dippers to win everything this season so they can frame the narrative that whatever we do in the future, even if we achieve the same feat, we would never be as good as them, as they did it first, they are the best ever, etc, etc and we would hear it ad-nauseam.

I just have a feeling that it will all end in tears for the dippers though.
We will win the league (again), chelsea will win the FA cup and we will win the CL.

COME ON CITY!!!
 
Some on here need to have a LOT more faith. Getting a bit bored of people saying we were nervous during the last few matches. Looking back over the month I've seen Liverpool scrape past Watford 2-0 at home, one of which was a last minute penalty. Then they drew with us in a match where we were the better team, then drew 3-3 at home to Benfica, then only just put our patched up team out of the FA Cup. Then an unconvincing 2-0 win against a very poor Everton side, a similar performance where they huffed and puffed against Villareal and then just got past Newcastle today by the one goal. The only side they thrashed was the 4-0 win against the rags, but this is the worst rags side I can remember so that's no real achievement. And even then they didn't look particularly convincing.

Meantime we started with the 2-0 win at Burnley, then the two games vs Liverpool in between two tough matches against Atletico, after which we put 3 past Brighton, 5 past Watford, 4 past Real and another 4 past Leeds today and in virtually every match it could and should easily have been more.

My point is the scousers have looked nervy to me, while we've been scoring for fun again especially in the past couple of weeks, even without our best XI. Don't get me wrong, I feel it too and I'm sure these run ins must be some form of torture. But although the fans are edgy I don't think the team are at all. Liverpool on the other hand don't look convincing at all to me, just lucky they've not come up against better opposition for the run in.
Great post and I agree with all your comments. I am sure that the players find it difficult at times, but they are fully focused on what they need to do. When the players celebrated after one of the goals yesterday, Dias joined the celebration and shouted “yes, come on, we can be champions“. That to me showed the belief they have.
 
I'd be happy to watch his highlights from yesterday if you have any?
I don't record any player's highlights to be honest.

He beat his man on numerous occasions (frequently being fouled in the process), kept the ball well, worked hard for the team and had a decent game all round.

I don't believe anybody can watch the game with an open mind and think otherwise.
 
Sorry if ready mentioned, the Leeds player who hurt himself in the tackle has broken his femur according to ssn

Jesus Christ.

Femurs require a lot of force to fracture as they're amongst the strongest and thickest bones. Shows how reckless that tackle was and much force he went into it.

Thankfully Grealish was ok.
 
On another note how does that away end get a health and safety certificate. Asked a copper and he shrugged his shoulders and said no idea. Underneath the stand is an accident waiting to happen. Utter dump of a ground.
 
The amazing thing was Tierney seemed to forget to book him

Booking him would have been unnecessary, everyone could see he was completely fucked and wouldn’t be playing again this season.

If it was a red card then the conversation is different because it obviously puts them down to 10.
