Great result but against a poor team. Great goals but we did give the ball away a lot. I don't think spurs will be so forgiving. Defence better without Cooper. 23 points. Can't be bad.

Good solid performance but it’s only the baggies they are muck and a reason why they are in the dog fight at the bottom of the league but like I seen further up you can only beat what’s in front of you👌 I see big Sam after the game desperate for a break in the league, seemingly he’s worried about catching the virus, why did u take the job then Sam. he should have a chat with Johnston as he avoided catching anything last night lol. do us a favour now next game and take a few points from Spurs as they are our competition for champs league place lol.

I think a lot of it was due to the fact that we played so well. The same team made it tough for Liverpool just a few days ago.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 21:46:59
Well that should shut up that world renowned coach, ooops sorry, couch, Paul Merson and other Bielsa bashers. Everything we are comes from The Messiah and his philosophy. The players play for him and each other, their versatility and ability to play in so many positions is fantastic, we have not had a settled and first choice central defensive pairing all season either. But to have the ability and belief to reply to that stuffing from the Dark Side with two victories and two clean sheets in such differing styles says it all. Believe and enjoy siblings, smile and wave UTWDTP.

Brilliant performance across the whole team, Alioski possibly best i have seen him play.

Do you remember back in the day when I never knew who the heck Marcelo Bielsa was other what ED 001 told us in one of his earliest interviews he confirmed he had watched every single Leeds game on video that past season and that. Kelvin Phillips is the best CB in the Championship

Hands up I remember thinking what our ok (at the time) but promising midfielder about 5ft 5 centre back god who have we got here!

Little did I know, and I gladly continue my education under St Bielsa.

Another big problem coming up for Marcelo. Who does he play at the back? Llorente/ Koch but what about Struijk (done nothing wrong) , Cresswell/ Casey (surely knocking on the door) even Cooper in with a shout.
What a nice problem to have.

A great problem to have, as it should be!

Just not cooper surely can not be cooper.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2020 02:00:55
Llorente and Koch when both fit are surely the preferred starting pair. Casey and Cresswell are still really young, most likely cup or loaned out over the next few seasons. Think Struijk will play as backup for Kalvin for a few years yet, cover off the bench or if we get an injury at CB or DM, hasn't done much wrong but still learning.
Cooper I would sell. Has worked hard, captained the side and has the right attitude but he will be 30 start of next season and just isn't at this level. Best for him and the club imo if he steps back down to a champ team next year that needs him rather than warming our bench.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 20:21:44
Alioski surely to get a new contract now?

And very deservedly so when he does.

Well done to everyone at Leeds United you really entertain me.

Read the posts on the discussion page. That’s why I’ve not been here for a while. Was sick to the back teeth of reading drunken dross! Bielsa will change the PL for the next 20 years with his philosophy, and as as fans, we will be the biggest beneficiaries! Long may this style of football continue, as it’s redefining “The beautiful Game” in England!

Yebo, 🤣🤣 when 2 worlds collide and the cream rises to the top . Allardyce is a total mercenary who sadly should have been left behind in the 80,s football over hoofball all day long . Sorry bermo pal, have to totally disagree with you on this 1 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 19:57:37
Of course but then consider this

Big sam been there 10 days,
None of them are his players
We was ten points better than them last year
We spent 100 million they spent a tenner

We was miles better but to make this belisa v big sam is beyound madness.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 19:59:53
Berm's faves Allardyce, Wilder, Warnock David Wagner. not good enough . simple.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 20:17:25
Berm I think West Brom spent 36 million, hardly a tenner. Granted we spent more but remember West Brom still had a lot of players that come down from the premiership 2 seasons ago. And two of our big buys didn't even play tonight. Big Sam was being lauded all week for taking a point from Liverpool with his ten quid team.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 20:19:45
Berm when you in the hole stop shovelling pal, the kalvo thing has smacked you in face a fair few times now , and indeed your right on not being sam's players, but I would imagine you were praising sam after snatching a pool point so the same can be said tonight

It's sam's philosophy that we are disliking, whether all these were or were not his players, the team would be playing the same way

So I will happily have bubs winning nothing managing us then sam managing us to play hoofball and try justify all the negativity that brings.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 20:21:24
We didn’t spend 100 mill .

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 22:22:43
The kal thing has smacked me in the face a few times. it has also made me spot on a good few times

As for sam you don’t have to like his football no one does but I think you have to respect him. that’s my point.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 18:51:08
I can not enjoy pretty football when we do the basics wrong, when like Newcastle we play well but concede silly goals I get the proper pox

however when we do the basics well and play like we do tonight it is perfect. so great to wacth

last two games against two big organised set play teams and we have dealt with it and got six points. merry xmas nothing makes Berm more happy

also how good is our keeper in the air?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2020 19:38:04
Well pleased you’re still posting Bermo. I could see your point you was making yesterday and were harshly judged by Ed 1. However I believe the Ed was mostly correct and you kept on unnecessarily fought back. Many a lad would have disappeared after that but you obviously have the hide of a rhino!

Villadave, Firstly Football, don't care about the stopping of the game when a player is down, or if the ref makes a mistake, wat every leeds fans furiates about is the integrity of your manager who when it happens to u kicks off but then doesn't say anything when it goes your way, I would like to comment on the integrity of your assistant but won't as Ed may not post this reply, as a football fan, I saw nothing wrong with Burnleys goal on Sunday, but as a leeds fan I'm chuffed it was chalked off, if that then happens to us I will take it with a pinch of salt.

In regards OUR Leeds banter site, u say they are only 2 or 3 good posters is poppycock, because not everyone agrees with your blinkered approach to football dosent make them a bad poster, I disagree with a few on here but don't call them bad posters, so for 1 I'll be glad not to see your biased unnuetral opinions again, (but this is about the 7th time you've left now and come back) .

Leeds played to the whistle, or lack of one as the referee saw nothing wrong. Don’t tforget which division Villa would be in if the blatant goal the Blades clearly scored had stood. Villa didn’t allow them to walk one in did they?

Llorente and Cooper both still out so our defence likely to be the same as it was for Burnley.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

29 Dec 2020 12:27:21
I know Bielsa is unlikely to change the team but I think Klich should be dropped down to the bench and given a rest for this game. I would move Raphina into the middle or start Hernandez.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 14:44:23
could be a blessing in disguise Phillips was ten times the player at CB Cooper is against burnley and West Brom will be a similar challenge.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 14:46:29
I don't believe Raph has the stamina or work rate of Klich yet, so wouldn't last more than half in the middle.
But a half with him and 2nd half Hernandez!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 16:12:52
When Pablo came on we were better with more passing control in the middle of the pitch.

Pablo is brave, never hides, always wants the ball.


Klich, Rodrigo and Harrison need to step it up.

Bit worried about todays game, I am sure Brom will be told by Big Sam to run at us near our area and then go down like hit by a sniper from row Z. Unfortunately we have a few who will fall for it and put a foot in or dangle a leg etc. Expect to be peppered by set pieces. Got to hope we can do better than they do at the other end, you can bet it won't be pretty though.

Hello Comrades - I do not wish to commit heresy - but does anyone else think that there's a touch of Paul Madeley about Pascal Struick? I just think his strolling, confident, laconic style is going to grow from strength to strength with game time? I recall watching Scott Sellars many years ago and thought he was a superb talent (though a different position to Struick) - who then disappeared from top flight football - so I may well be wrong - but Struick to me looks a real talent?

29 Dec 2020 10:48:11
I think that’s a good shout. I massively rate stuijk great on the ball big powerful and quick for size. Bougtz reminds me of Scott sellers funnily enough both got quailty in the ball and seem to have an effortless strut.

Nowhere near Rolls Royce standard yet but certainly has potential.

As incredible as it’s been to have so many games played, what do people think about another enforced break?

On the phone to my brother this evening (the spurs season ticket holder, yep I know! ) and he’s pretty certain there will be another cessation of football within next couple of weeks.

Looking at the number of cancellations in league one and two there does appear to be a growing case for stopping all football, but then i do appreciate what good it does for the country’s mental well-being many of these players have families too.

29 Dec 2020 06:04:15
Nearly 42,000 cases in one day for you lot.
Think it’s inevitable that there will be another break. Prob get January off. 2 weeks training and back into it mid February. City down and out already.

29 Dec 2020 06:50:56
If there is another break it will give the likes of Koch, Berardi, Llorente more time to fully recover without missing any more matches.

29 Dec 2020 09:54:09
With the rise in positive the virus cases around different clubs, can only see another shut down of football. I know players are tested regularly but several high profile players have also been caught out flouting the the virus lockdown rules. This second wave or strain of the virus seems to be spreading fast and another full lockdown seems likely.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 09:55:39
I think a break would be great for us, in a similar way to last season. Recharge the batteries. But that would mean that more people would be dying so hopefully there won't be one.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Dec 2020 10:50:05

Happen although not as long as last time. Will do us a favour although I hope it doesn’t giver beradi a chance. surely he will never play for us again? He wasn’t good enough for us in champ.
