One step at a time, but, that is a massive result. Bielsa finally makes the BIG decision to change the game.
Big game against Luton now they have Jones back. MOT to were we belong!

wow. just wow

today was amazing. great team performance and i thought we would get beat today.

the difference was how direct we were. Three passes for both 2nd and 3rd goal. that is football cardiff was 35 passes to hit half a shot

real marker thrown down and when it really mattered a big win come

the artist formerly known as the oricle.

Good post Bermo. Tactically, MB showed some flexibility, and made two great subs at half time. A mix of direct, and flowing, and that pass from Pabs for Jack’s goal was sublime! Plenty to enjoy today!

A lot easier to play direct though when the other team is trying to play.
Most teams defend deep so we have to do the 35 passes routine to try and create space for a shot.
Still when given those chances today we took them and made it count.

We’ve all been quick enough to criticise him at times today but my MOM goes to Bielsa he won that game with his substitutions and tactical changes.

Ben White immense also, hope Pablo coming off was just risk avoidance but huge result for the boys today.

I thought Cooper and White did a great job on moaning Mitrovic.

28 Jun 2020 00:41:31
& Bill.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jun 2020 09:44:28
Your right Woody. Bill was back today, and solid defensively. Though Kal did a great job keeping Cairney in his back pocket too! I want to see Poveda get more minutes, as he shows some glimpses of talent in the few mins he gets, and looks to have pace to burn!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2020 09:45:17
I like Meslier, he had a much better game this week than Cardiff. I think keepers these days regarding pushing shots down and out (think you're referring to that Mitrovic snap volley, and there was a corner he punched down too) . The way the balls move in the air these days makes it so much harder than say the 90s early 2000s. The replay showed just how much it moved so it was a good save for me.

That being said I think there is a nerves aspect in him at the moment, little slow on that first cardiff goal last week, and parried out a shot clearly going wide this week too. Easy to forget how young he is. Not a Prem no.1 (yet) but 5m clause for him is no brainer because he easily could be both Prem and France international in a few years i think.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2020 19:34:57
Great win today. They tried to play us with the hard press, but couldn't keep it up. Had us on the ropes first half, getting free kicks every time they went down, and screaming for pens for nothing. Particular praise for young Meslier keeping his cool under a lot of pressure.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

27 Jun 2020 21:11:15
Didn’t like some of Meslier’s blocks, bouncing straight back into the face of goal, but great distribution, manages the defence, and owns the box. Good lad!

It will come with experience and game time bright man.

27 Jun 2020 18:52:20
Excellent result. Interesting though overall I didn't think we played as well as last week. Difference? Bamford scored even though the rest of his game was off. We held out and rode our luck in the first half. As I suspected Roberts did a better job up front than Bamford and moving forward gave Hernandez a chance for a gem of a cameo role. Hope his coming off was to save him for Tuesday. Bielsa showing tactical awareness to see off Scott Parker in the coaching stakes.

27 Jun 2020 20:02:22
For me the difference is simply Pablo's ability to make space.
Great player.

27 Jun 2020 21:12:11
Tyler should start up front vs Luton. He was effective as a 9.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2020 17:48:31
Mitrovic the bark well I think a 3 match ban incomeing which is right also they were on us most first half after our goal but bub changes got us there Harrison bust his gut for that goal mot cans not pints yet going down well.

What a difference a week makes Brum! Utterly miserable last Sunday sitting watching the Cardiff game with 3 West Brom fans. Had to WhatsApp one of them a picture of the table as last week he was constantly showing me the table.

27 Jun 2020 18:35:26
But, Brum, would you swap Bamford for Mitrovic?

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Jun 2020 18:50:29
Nope. Just noticed. We are 3rd in scoring chart and 1st in the goals conceded chart. So as much as bam has missed a few. It’s a team beisla likes and bam
Fits in more than Mitrovic. Not very likeable either. 😂😂👍⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🍺🍺⚽️⚽️🍺🍺🍺🍺.

No mitrovic is too dirty has it in him to get sent off as Steve McClaren was saying they can't seem to coach it out of him.

Huge credit to Bielsa for half time subs.

Love it.

Pablo changed it coming on 2nd half. Was massive for us when we needed him. Bring 1-0 up was good but Fulham were well on top. Super pleased with that 3-0. And it will be a drunk Saturday night. ⚽️⚽️⚽️🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍

Imagine where we would be had we that conversion rate all season!
Much better with Pabs and Gianni on; good subs from MB.
Great finish from BamBam, but little else. Wish we had. Mitrovic! Tyler much improved! On on on!

Funny old game and how we all see things, I thought Robert's was average at best today.
I hope Pablo coming off was a pre-caution to keep him from injury.

Mitrovic like a big sulky kid when things aren't going his way

Early first goal and from Bamford most welcome

Really happy with 3 points and 3 goals.

The half time subs by Bielsa so important and so needed . much, much better in second half. I enjoyed the second half.

Agree3 Disagree0

27 Jun 2020 17:24:07
Wouldn’t want mitrovic anywhere near a Leeds team

Plays only for himself

He’s going to get a ban unless the EFL are blind

He was sulking in White’s back pocket for most of the game.

Better players are available.

27 Jun 2020 18:22:38
Agreed Woody how about a name from the past, Dwight Gayle?

If he gets the time Roberts and Bambam needed to be fit and adapt we have one hell of a player

Trust the process.

27 Jun 2020 21:16:32
Ben White did a right job on him today, but his holding, and link up play is fantastic, and he can turn a man, has pace, strength, and energy. If he played for us, people would like his niggle and aggression.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2020 16:00:21
I am getting so sick of Klich jumping into people and giving away stupid free kicks.
Also he never tries to win a header just barges into players.
Have a go at winning the ball then I don't if you mess it up and give away a free kick.

Ah but Canada, his little push into knockaert that meant he nudged the Ref. That got him booked and saw him off as a threat

Small margins
He’s a street fighter is klich.

today for me is do or die. it will lay out a lot in terms of form, mindset and nerves/ confidence.

verry worried and saw parker say they have brought in harry arter for tactical reasons as they have been working on something. I assume (of course I would) that this is a plan to attack Kaviln weak link phillips. Today might lie on bamford v mitrovic and phillips and kiclh v arter and cariney and nervous we will lose both battles

god if the hope don't kill you the nerves will

still come on the whites and love the crowd at ER our fans our world class.

We are in front but giving the ball away every time MB needs to sort this, I would say we are lucky to be a head but Fulham are lucky to have 11 still on the field.

I think we will dominate and lose. I hope we win. On the basis I expect a draw. No sense at all in that but that's Leeds. You never know. 4-0 with a Bamford hat trick? Anything is possible.

Weirdly still have no fear or dread (never happened before) for the remainder of the season.

And whilst I fully appreciate this fervent belief this is the year didn’t help in anyway for Cardiff I do believe that for all our mistakes and failings the lone striker option being easily the most damaging. this team has slipped before and has responded before, this team is clearly capable of putting a run of five, six wins together again, it may not be today but I believe this is the year.

Brentford have hit a nice run of form but they’ve also lost the most in the top five.

This team and I don’t know how or where will get the points required to get us promoted, gawd knows where this comes from but we will get promotion done ✅.

Respect but never fear

Class post class.

27 Jun 2020 06:40:47
It’s so vitally important we get that first early goal today, it’s abundantly clear that Bamford is not a consistent goal scorer so players like Harrison/ Klich/ Pablo or Alioski have got to get those goals needed. Win or lose today will not decide whether we will get Auto or not.

However I have a distinct feeling that a victory over Fulham today will be hugely moral boosting and give the players the confidence to see this out and get Leeds United FC promoted to the Premiership.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

27 Jun 2020 10:33:48
Agreed OP, I think a victory today will do wonders for the teams confidence. Let's hope they can do it. On another point, just seen pictures of the Stadium with all the Crowdies in, it looks spectacular. UTW.
