Solid performance tonite, a lot more positive! Great to see harrison on score sheet, hopefully lift him for sunday!
16 Dec 2020 23:18:19
Great to see 5 different players on the score sheet. We need everyone to chip in ans help the team.
17 Dec 2020 10:47:04
very true alf. I have been on harrsions case but last night he showed his class and shut me up.
16 Dec 2020 22:34:47
For all we apparently cannot defend corners, we scored from 2 of their corners tonight - can’t defend them much better than that!
PS do you think they could ban grealish from diving as well as driving. Anybody seen VD tonight?
16 Dec 2020 22:48:23
Ha did you see the YouTube clips of Grealish diving ( sorry driving) offences? Absolutely shocking and scandalous.
16 Dec 2020 23:04:35
Yup unbelievable that they couldn't charge him with drink driving. Nobody sober can drive like he did in that cul de sac surely.
16 Dec 2020 23:19:19
You've obviously never seen me drive Canada!
17 Dec 2020 10:50:36
Scary alf.
16 Dec 2020 22:25:03
As the late genius Terry Wigan used to say. is it me?
Win 5-2 against an awkward team who park the bus who have drawn at Spurs and have nicked a few away wins. and we win 5-2 and we we wish to highlight our pros and cons WOW! it’s clearly me well played boys huge respect to Bub who would have started with the same team under that level of pressure. not sure Big Sam could have delivered that result.
16 Dec 2020 22:15:39
Get back in your little box Jamie O’Hara
Most of these ex pro’s should give up their worthless punditry and get a job stacking shelves at Sainsburys.
17 Dec 2020 00:15:02
Hey OP, my lad works in a Sainsbury's and he is a big LUFC fan, the job is hard enough without having to work with the likes of Jamie O'Hara!
17 Dec 2020 07:36:34
Too true feath, with the likes of him, Abongahor and you can throw Tim Sherwood in that little bag of numpties, I’d rather have a frontal lobotomy than have to listen to them prattle on with the meaningless chit chat all day.
17 Dec 2020 09:23:12
In Oharas defence, he said what many on hear have, MB is a obsessive but still we get at set pieces, he did say we wouldn't go down, I think he was just mocking the lunatics who pre season said we would challenge 4 top 4.
17 Dec 2020 09:31:57
Feath that really made me laugh.
17 Dec 2020 09:41:54
OP, heard Jamie ohara spouting off about Leeds on radio and saying Leeds need to get "back in their box". Long may he continue to talk his carp just like Agbhonlahor mugging himself off. Such upstanding fellows who both lead a fine upstanding moral life ain't fit to face Bielsas trainers.
16 Dec 2020 21:32:48
Pros
Rodrigo looked like the quality we should expect . not just the goal but making space, running into space and turning the opposition
Pablo looked at home when he got on
Bamford runs and stretches the play . Bamford scores.
We shut Callum Wilson right down.
Harrison’s finish and confidence boost
Raphinha still needs to work consistency. but his moments of quality, clever balls . well worth his inclusion in the team.
Worrying things
Set pieces . and awful lot to do
Newcastle rested players against us . Miggy (while at fault for Dallas goal) would run past most of our team. Shelvey is the architect needed to loose Wilson. they rested him.
Newcastle isn’t anywhere near the quality of Manchester United.
16 Dec 2020 22:30:05
I was shocked Shelvey didn't come on at half.
16 Dec 2020 23:05:52
Too slow.
16 Dec 2020 23:12:29
Don’t get me wrong . I like Fraser but. long staff or Kendrick over Jonjo particularly our vulnerability to Wilson pace with balls over top or through middle. was screaming for a Shelvey on pitch. Thankfully not!
Half my family back in UK is Newcastle so I watch a lot of Toon football and did St James’s last year when back.
Am hoping to pick up Newcastle Leeds game later i the season the virus-willing. Not Gallowgate end mind. can’t see myself suppressing a roar if Harrison rips another like he did today, mind.
Best Rodrigo game for us by far.
Lads seem to be getting on as well.
Dallas is us new Milner.
Watched highlights 15 times already. will watch it just this one more time.
16 Dec 2020 21:19:54
Really pleased in particular for Marcelo Bielsa and also the lads in this hopefully huge confidence builder of a result and performance.
Scoring 5 goals from 5 different Leeds players is soooooo good and important for momentum moving forward, goal scoring confidence and points accumulation we all hope
Keep working and improving on defensive plays
# Let's do Man U!
# Pablo. ⚽️🔥🏆💜.
16 Dec 2020 20:17:06
Can we see 6 more wins this season, can we 5 more draws
40 points.
16 Dec 2020 20:24:42
Yes, can't see why not. Won't be in the bottom 3.
Go on Leeds
Great result tonight bring on the scum.
16 Dec 2020 21:06:30
I don't think we will go down but I think we should be aiming a lot lot higher. as seen tonight we can be that good.
16 Dec 2020 20:04:27
Okay, panic over. Normal service has been resumed!
16 Dec 2020 20:00:39
Wow Pablo Hernandez 💜💜💜⚽️⚽️⚽️top class take a bow LUFC Legend 💜💜🏆
Pablo comes on and Leeds score 3 decisive match winning goals in a matter of minutes with his assists
I have been banging on about his inclusion relentlessly for the past 4 weeks or more on this forum.
Imagine how many more points we would have had with his inclusion at some point every match
Huge huge huge result and performance.
16 Dec 2020 20:18:42
Delighted for Pablo but not sure it was his late inclusion which made the difference.
When Newcastle equalised again they actually thought they could win! That was the difference.
16 Dec 2020 20:24:23
Hopefully Baz, Bielsa was also watching the game. The little magician did it again. We have a few v good players, many good players but very few exceptional players. Exceptional = can change a game. make a difference.
16 Dec 2020 20:51:12
Great to see Pablo involved but for me it will only be cameo appearances! It was only the fact he had just come on that allowed him the energy levels to be up with play!
Glad he’s part of the team again though! Stops all the nonsense being spouted about fall outs! Harrison loads better tonight and thought Raph was impressive in first half especially! MOT.
16 Dec 2020 21:16:38
Bazooka was MB right or was he wrong to leave Pablo out, think Pablo gave him the answer,
16 Dec 2020 21:30:40
Or maybe Pablo was actually injured.
Was only available for 2 games and came on in the 2nd.
As myself and a few others have said, bring him on after 60 mins and see that he still has it!
16 Dec 2020 19:47:33
Pablooooooooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💜😀😀😃😉.
16 Dec 2020 19:51:29
very pleased to see him come on.
16 Dec 2020 19:59:39
I think sack the manager 😂.
16 Dec 2020 21:07:57
down south white. did you see the corner? if they had got that pen. that was a stone wall pen (thanks VAR) things could of been very different
we played well but don't be fooled still huge problems at leeds.
16 Dec 2020 21:31:15
If that was a penalty so was the handball.
16 Dec 2020 21:41:58
Yes I watched every minute of the match Berm
I was frustrated at times but ultimately thrilled by the final parts of the match!
Great to see some of the players who have been criticised this week stepping up and getting goals!
We are now in the premier league with mostly championship players. Yes players will make mistakes, have bad games but boy when they are on it are they good to watch!
When you look tonight we are 3pts behind Man City in 7th or 8th
No huge problems for me but then I’m just an old fashioned football fan enjoying my team!
16 Dec 2020 19:47:02
Get in, nervy times but 3 good points, well done MOT.
16 Dec 2020 19:54:31
great result, great play just brilliant all round
however a word of caution the same problems are there
goal from a corner (can we also mention how poor was the Yorkshire pirlo corner for there goal. just shocking)
it is great to win and win well but it is worrying we have to be so good to win. I honestly would prefer playing badly. getting smashed not being able to string to passes together and walk away 1-0 and not concede from corner
still great game great play great result. tell fat sam he can put the phone down we will not be calling him this week.
16 Dec 2020 21:19:44
We may not be able to defend set pieces but oh boy can we play exciting attacking football. 1-0 win playing boring boring defending, not for me mate.
Don’t know why you would think we can play a whole game with zero errors?
I thought they fought with with passion and desire to win this game, so much better than the WHam game.
16 Dec 2020 19:43:24
Get in Alioski! Good to see Pablo on.
16 Dec 2020 19:39:42
Please please please hold on 4 the 3 pts
All I want 4 xmas.
16 Dec 2020 19:25:51
So much hard work to get in front, and the Achilles Heel does us again. What makes it worse, is we never score from corners. What Philips was doing there, God only knows.
16 Dec 2020 19:55:24
of course I will jump on this. let's be honest you all call him prirlo but his set plays are shocking. never scores a free kick and corners normal hit first man.
16 Dec 2020 20:03:30
He doesn’t take many free kicks and he scored a belter from a free kick vs Blackburn last season.
16 Dec 2020 21:10:01
DiLUfC I think you will find last year he took most fk (changed this year) hence he scored a bealter because he took them
his takes a lot of corners this year included agasint Man City he took one that went straight out of play. most go straight to first man. even on a leeds forum most will agree he can't take set plays.
16 Dec 2020 19:24:08
Can u believe it, we've conceded from a set play
Unbelievable.
16 Dec 2020 19:27:07
Sadly all too predictable.
16 Dec 2020 19:23:45
For a team that's meant to man Mark at corners and set pieces we lose our man a lot.
16 Dec 2020 19:00:40
Coops much as I like him as a person isn't up to the Premier league in January we need to improve.
16 Dec 2020 20:03:12
You can improve - Cresswell, Casey, Struijk plus two on the traetment table?
16 Dec 2020 18:25:32
Playing well, but our shooting is terrible.
16 Dec 2020 18:50:17
same old song ain't it,
all the ball pretty play but drawing and against weaker players
trouble is we have to work so hard for a goal yet the opposition have to do little to score
with our shooting we have to keep in mind it is easier to look good in space, our shooting looks poorer as the other teams are organised and we have no space or tme
they make our forwards look worse we make there's look better
we are better team playing better football we should feel confident but I don't think many will be feeling that way.
16 Dec 2020 19:07:00
So needed that equaliser. A win would just take the pressure off a bit and give us all a lift.
16 Dec 2020 19:07:32
Most shots by a team in first half in any prem game this season.
16 Dec 2020 17:43:46
Same team as Fri night, let's wait and see.
16 Dec 2020 11:49:10
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new manager profile about, Jose Bordalas
16 Dec 2020 11:09:01
Need to act quickly before the baggies get the legend that is Allardyce, if we miss out on him we could push boro for Colin,
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
16 Dec 2020 12:32:46
No I want one of Berms other favourites David Wagner 😉
But on a serious note would love Poch.
16 Dec 2020 13:01:05
dont I could cry. imagine big sam at West Brom and then we go down instead of them after they beat us 4-1 us going 1-0 up then conceding from four set plays.
16 Dec 2020 14:01:08
Thing is, if Allardyce aka Mike Basset, (he even looks like him) is given the position he’ll probably keep them up, If he stays there he could keep them just outside the relegation zone for the next five seasons.
Think if I were a Baggies fan I’d be close to slitting my wrists at the the prospect of one dimensional park the bus football for the foreseeable future.
As a fan I’d rather go back to the Championship and watch my team play entertaining football.
16 Dec 2020 17:09:40
Find the decision to sack Bilic extraordinary. But anyway. Onwards with Leeds United!
16 Dec 2020 18:52:02
BV why would you want poch. he is same as Belisa
OP. I don't get your post. if we go down means we lose a lot. what is entertaining about getting beat
call me odd. but I find winning entertaining and losing not entertaining. the result is all. the style is just trimmings.
16 Dec 2020 19:36:54
Berm . unlike Bielsa, Poch likes a BIG squad for starters.
16 Dec 2020 07:39:17
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 16th December 2020
16 Dec 2020 01:30:37
5 goals in the last 6 games.
Nearly 2 games conceded on average per game .
One win in 6 games
Have no idea which 3 teams if any will finish below Leeds.
Something needs to change in creating, scoring and keeping clean sheets .
Struik, Pablo, Poveda, Geldhart, Davis?
Leeds have always played better with Pablo who is a proven match winner and a talisman in the side who. can unlock defences and score goals . He needs to start not just come on in a second half ( and that hasn't been happening either) .
Bielsa needs to stop the predictability of picking the same failing players like Harrison who hasn't had more than one or two good games all season.
This game is massive as is the three games after Man U, Burnley and West Brom.
The team needs to show far more controlled aggression, passion, desire and enthusiasm than in the West Ham game. What has happened to the team spirit? (, the lack of player celebration when Klich scored was alarming) .
16 Dec 2020 05:19:50
It's called Premiership football, we aeent in championship anymore, you didn't honestly think we would win every other game in this league.
16 Dec 2020 08:48:26
Richie of course not and have never said as much in any of my posts.
16 Dec 2020 09:35:15
I think there are three worse than us
Plus the usual one or two that collapse after Christmas.
But disability to defend as well as no midfielder chipping in with a few a season. We will always be flirting.
To me an attacking mid should get minimum 6 plus a year.
16 Dec 2020 10:23:36
Yes Aus that goalscoring attacking midfielder/ number 10 has been Pablo with 9 to 12 goals a season and numerous assists for the past 4 seasons
Boy do we miss Pablos goals and assists and apart from Bambam no one is stepping up!
Care to say Aus which '3 ( or more ) teams' you believe will finish below Leeds at the end of the season because for me can only say with any confidence right now Sheff Utd.
Next 4 games Newcastle, Man U, Burnley and West Brom for me have become season defining for Bielsa and the team.
16 Dec 2020 10:29:49
rodrigo has 1 goal 1 assist from about 500 minutes. that's roughly 6 games. 38 game season you'd get 6 goals out of him this year. think we all need to stop panicking. If we get a point tonight, it's a good result. any game where you pick up a point in this league is a good result. scrap what happened over the last 2 years, in terms of prem experience now we're a little fish in a big pond. the players are up to it and the belief is there now more than ever. MOT.
16 Dec 2020 10:36:07
Pablo is better coming on after 60 for me.
Much faster and fitter players in thu league than championship and he's a year older.
Harrison has been one of best players until the last couple of games. Poveda and Costa do not have his defensive effort which is an issue with no defensive left back.
16 Dec 2020 10:49:40
Canada how about Harrison at left back/ left wing back instead
As he certainly doesn't impress as a winger, can't beat a man, doesn't score, rarely assists, crosses that mych more often than not find an opposing player.
16 Dec 2020 10:56:13
So it all goes back to, bolster the left with an attacking FB. Make the wingers, full backs get their crosses in not just promise much then fizzle out. Bolster the middle with a strong tall CB (With the feet of Messi) . Stop the intricate passing in front of goal one pass early and just shoot. You never know what will happen if BamBam and Rodri are sniffing around.
I personally am in the Pablo definitely yes camp, but only after 60min. We all said that, before the season started, to protect the little man.
16 Dec 2020 11:10:52
Alot of eggs being put in Pablo's basket, boy if he gets a chance the pressure he will be under as some see him as the saviour.
16 Dec 2020 11:29:28
Burnley. Brom. Sheff. Newcastle. West ham. Fulham. Poss villa and crystal palace to collapse.
16 Dec 2020 12:12:16
Aus lol all of these teams and West Ham? . if only.
16 Dec 2020 12:30:31
That's the crux of the issue Richie other players too should be stepping up to score more and assist more
Last season we relied heavily on Bambam and Pablo for goals. no one else is stepping up this season so far.
16 Dec 2020 13:07:15
I keep seeing all this we are prem stuff we can't win every game
of course we can't but I expect us to play better against the weaker teams. we have better players than palace and West Ham yet still lost both games comfortably
we have an amazing manager so why is this the case. I would say our players are about 10th best in the league. and our manager is class. so we should finish top eight at least right?
wrong because we keep letting in silly goals and making the same mistakes
people keep talking about our style and how nice we are to watch like that counts for anything. it doesn't
we played well against city and got 1 point. West Brom defended and scraped a draw against city they still got 1 point
if belisa is as good as people say he needs to start proving it by getting results against the better teams and beating the weaker ones. at the moment I am not really seeing that
all I am seeing is a lot of very pretty defeats with a couple of awful defeats thrown in as well.
back to basics. it is the basics that get you points not pretty fluff.
16 Dec 2020 17:32:22
Works for me Baz, wouldn't be any worse than Alioski!
