I know we got beat tonight but we were certainly not an embarrassment, I thought in the 1st half be matched Chelsea followed by a fantastic goal by becchio, ok class showed in the second half but hey Chelsea are not European champions for nothing, so well done Leeds. Don't get dishearten about the result, let's look forward to beating boro on Saturday, best thing about tonight though is to see that Somma on the bench, bright things ahead I think! Come on Leeds MOT

We did well tonight and learned quite a bit about our team.
Centre backs were brilliant particularly Lees, Young Sam Byram is a class act BUT physically is two years from being the real deal, Moses was too powerful. peltier as we all know is out of position and a weak link. The three in midfield Tong Brown and Green are good cahmpionship players but out of their depth at that level and their fitness is in question. Douf can play at any level, Becchio was a threat and Thomas was neat tidy and showed why he can play higher.
All in all a good night for leeds and i hope that Neil gets some pace up front and in midfield as we approach the transfer window

Lads played really well only gripe ive got is why on earth was lampard still on the pitch after 2 first half tackles from behind ones a sending
Off but 2 he should av walked and also we had a def penalty shout at 3-1 that could av changed game.o and then lampard goes on t win man o match.
Agree0
Disagree0
Also showed why we should fill ER as much as possible, best fans in the world and can really make it a tough atmosphere for any opposition.

Matta actually got man of match on sky but point taken about lampard the one on diouf was particularly bad

What I don't get is why would you use your 2nd choice goalkeeper on a big game like this!
Believable15
Unbelievable46
Yeah I know. He only made 2 amazing saves. What a let down. Get a grip.

I thought he was excellent kept us in the game

I agree with the first reply fans like you make me sick if it wasnt for ashdown chelsea would of scored 10!
Agree3
Disagree0
Because it was not a big game. Middlesborough will be a big game. And Ashdown was superb. I remember when Revie used to use Harvey like that; and then he became THE keeper.
Agree0
Disagree0
You mean the 2nd choice goalkeeper that kept us in the game 1st half? Luckily we have 2 decent keepers so I wouldn't begrudge warnock using ashdown
Agree2
Disagree0
You mean the same goalkeeper who got us through all the previous rounds?
Agree2
Disagree0
I thought he was fantastic and if it was up to me I'd let him start against boro on sat aswel. Very impressed.
Agree1
Disagree0
He was class! I think he deserves a chance in the league
Agree0
Disagree0
Sorry but I think ashdown is a better keeper then kenny, kenny is slow now days snd all he is good for is kicking the ball up field in good posisitions MOT
Agree0
Disagree0
Ashdown should be no.1 based on that performance.
Agree0
Disagree0
I'd think its probably good to keep your 2nd choice sharp by playing in games like this, you dont want to have to rely on him coming in out the blue, we dont want another rechubka!!
Agree1
Disagree0
Good keeper and Warnock does right to play him in this game... I think he'll play in FA Cuo too
Agree1
Disagree0
Ashdown played well made good saves
Agree1
Disagree0
Superb Performance by Ashdown...Made 4 or 5 cracking saves.
Agree1
Disagree0
I thought ashdown had a very good game . 1 mistake but several excellent saves.
Agree1
Disagree0
Because he better keeper than kenny
Agree0
Disagree0
He was absolutely fantastic i dont think you know what your on about if he hadnt made some of the saves he made it could have been a lot more...
Agree0
Disagree0
Before that game we had conceded 1 goal in the cup that alone justifies his position
Agree0
Disagree0
MOM performance, still dont think he could do much about the first goal hard and low on a wet slippery surface, wouldnt think must keepers would even get down to it.
On the plus side, 1 million times better than Rubbergloves.
Agree0
Disagree0
Cos he is class act and needs a game, he played well apart from one mistake but kenny needs to be pushed, also this was not a big game, getting promoted in league is big games, carling captial one milk cup is not a big deal in any way...proud of the boys as well mot
Agree0
Disagree0
Only reason ashdown would starts in the league would be if kenny was injured, warnock wouldnt drop him for casillas

5 goals conceeded, in 45 mins. 6 vs watford. 1 trophy in 40 years. 8 years in oblivion, i really hope our new owners have some real money, because how long can we live in the past. neil,

I think it was about giving him a confidence boost tonight .hope he gets some sort of game time soon

Agree with second poster. Problem is thye dont have any more money than Bates. They may put more money in than Bates but they dont have the money to compete with Chelsea. I feel very depressed. We have Michael Brown they have Juan Mata, need I say more
Agree0
Disagree1
Depressed? We have Brown they have Mata?
Chelsea pay there reserves more than we can pay our first team players, they are prem top 5 and Euro champs. Torres earns more than our entire team and cost more too. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. They put 6 past wolves 5 past man utd. We got beat by one of the top teams in the world. MOT
Agree1
Disagree0
Actually, Torres didn't cost more than our team, he cost more than GFH spent acquring our entire club
Agree0
Disagree0
LOL at the last comment that puts everything in prospective, Torres costing more than our entire club! TBF though I thought lees and Pearce did great, Torres was terrible scored one tap in (which meant nothing, and Peltier should have stopped him.) did he even make an assist!
Agree0
Disagree0
To be fair to Torres, his movement off the ball was fantastic - when Hazard scored, Torres just drew Lees and Pearce miles away, and it was basically Hazard v Ashdown. He might not have scored loads, but when you look at what he does off the ball, he's still a top class player.

If WBA dont agree a fee for Thomas NW will go for Max Gradel as he is a fans fav
Believable34
Unbelievable29
Which is about the worse reason I can think of for buying him back. Move on. When has it ever worked for a player returning back to a club unless it is to see out their careers such as Gray and Lorimer?
Agree0
Disagree1
I cannot honestly see NW going for some player just because he's the fans fave, i think he's far more intelligent than that.

its usually when a player has come back after 4+ seasons that they dont perform the same . we usually sell a young player playing with confidence but when we bring them back they are low on confidence ,probably been out injured for a year and obviously several years older than they were .if gradel comes back hes been playing with confidence since he left and will carry on if he comes back
Agree1

Id take gradel back anyday, alot better than thomas!
Agree1

Bring back mad max! U know it makes sense NW
MOT!
Agree1

Batty did ok when we brought him back... for about a season... then he was past it and contributed heavily to our collapse
Agree0
Disagree0
Contributed heavily to our collapse? So are you suggesting that if he hadn't played, we'd have had a chance of staying up? We collapsed because we sold all our players. We collapsed because we were up to our ears in debt. We collapsed because of Ridsdale.
