Well a point better than nowt against the type of team that come and get an upset. Potential banana skin avoided, now on to the next.

30 Jun 2020 23:20:54
Well yea a point is definitely more welcome than no points; I was hoping for a clean sheet by tne lads and taken a 1 nil win to Leeds all day long .

01 Jul 2020 00:17:46
Totally agree mate, would certainly have settled for this situation with 6 games to go .

01 Jul 2020 07:02:24
Makes me chuckle, we lose at Cardiff and its like the seasons over, were rubbish, we won't go up, bielsa is clueless blah blah blah, we beat fulham, and were the best team ever, home and hosed for promotion and beilsa a god, draw last night guess what?, luton came and put 10 men behind the ball and celebrated a point, always said this would happen, after lockdown we were 7 clear with 9 to play, now 6 clear with 6 to play, brentford will NOT win all there matches remaining,
My negative point is Costa now on the Bamford bus IMO
apparently bamford blaming the floodlights now?
Believe
MOT.

01 Jul 2020 10:06:20
thats the point ritchie they put 10 men behind the ball. we all knew this so belisa must of known this yet like always could not find an answer

since he come here teams like millwall, cardiff, wigan, ipsich and now luton have taken points off us as Belisa just won't or can't learn

I have always said belisa have great points but also great weaknesses and for me is a great coach but not a great manager. Last year we threw away the league due t belisa. this year we have made the same mistakes. in many ways been even worse. Belisa and Leeds have been saved by a very weak league compared to last year but for once i wish he would learn and not make watching leeds so predictable and frustrating.

01 Jul 2020 10:07:52
Sorry Alf. Glass half full syndrome maybe but to me it's 2 points dropped. As Hess pointed out, they are bottom for a reason.

30 Jun 2020 22:11:53
If Orta, Radz and Bielsa had got their acts together and identified and signed fit proven goalscorers in any of the past 4 transfer windows

. then we would simply NOT be still having the same forking infuriating, exasperating achilles heel problems of converting possession and chances into goals. we are the 2nd worst in the Championship of 24 teams at converting goal chances. that says it all!

30 Jun 2020 23:15:50
And guess who's the worse at missed chances in the league bazooks?

01 Jul 2020 05:25:41
Zooks Signing proven goalscorer not easy task. Our error was not playing Eddie more which would've kept them Goons sweeter. Eddie would have buried many a chance second half of season.

01 Jul 2020 10:51:25
Georgey. it would have been very useful to have Eddie ( on the bench ) but never going to happen once Arteta became Arsenal manager instead of Emre. recalled him to play in the arsenal first team squad regardless of number of games he was having for Leeds

This is the folly and foolishness of relying on loans when you don't even secure a player for the whole season.

01 Jul 2020 11:12:42
Zooks Don't agree entirely. Goons only began to care once Eddie wasn't starting our fixtures. I think we alerted the beast foolishly and then like you said it changed once Emre was sacked. Amazing that a manager sacking in a different division could produce such an effect.

30 Jun 2020 21:59:34
For all his excellent points, Bielsa has some setious weak points

One of the crucial ones is his apparent ambivalence or inability to remedy Leeds being absolutely rubbish at taking corners/ scoring from corners


The Wilko teams scored a barrel load of goals from corners ; yet Bielsa' Leeds team have wasted 14 corners today

Step 1 will be to take the increasingly exasperating and overrated KP off his abysmal, pathetic corner duty and give it to someone who can actually cross the ball effectively

Be aware Brentford are more than capable of finishing higher than both Leeds and Brom .

30 Jun 2020 22:24:37
said exactly the same thing mate.

what does belisa have against defenders who can defend and attackers who can head a ball?

also how many letters in the spanish alphbet as he only has a plan A?

belisa has some amazing points but also some huge flaws. ultimately his teams will always under achieve (we should already be up in this poor league and should of gone up last year if we didn't have these obvious weakenesses)

30 Jun 2020 22:33:12
Agreed Berm.

30 Jun 2020 23:04:28
So plan b didn’t work against Fulham?

30 Jun 2020 23:10:16
no taddy it didnt. that was not plan b that was fulham come to play so we broke them on counter. when a team sits back and is tall and phyiscal we have no plan b. don't confuse a better second half perfomance with a plan B.

30 Jun 2020 23:15:59
True Alf . Bielsa did fabulously in his substitutions against Fulham

Alioski and fitness permitting Pablo should have started today because when Pablo especially is on the pitch Leeds are so much better

The crux of my post was about our ineptitude in scoring from corners the point which I was also agreeing with Berm.

01 Jul 2020 10:09:48
he did well with subs in that they played better but they didn't play differently. belisa clearly doesn't agree with being able to use set plays or defend properly. its not in his mindset.

30 Jun 2020 21:50:26
Ugh conceding . and the first goal too .

Thank you Mr Stuart Dallas for your goal .

concerned that we have certain players underperforming again.

30 Jun 2020 21:59:36
Not underperforming vidooks, not good enough in key areas on the field IMO.

30 Jun 2020 22:01:21
So frustrating missing those chances late on. Doesn't look good for Cooper and Dallas, both looked like bad injuries. It's still in our hands, a win on Saturday would be massive. Hopefully Sheff Wed will put up a performance tomorrow night against WBA. Brentford really looking strong, but Reading were dire against them.

30 Jun 2020 21:47:10
dear oh dear

bottom of the table luton at home.

we have had poorer teams. we have played worse football but never in our 100 year history has it been more annoying and frustrating to be a leeds fan.

the biggest problem is it is oh so predictable. Belisa greatness is also his weakness

no plan b no one who can head a ball fragile defence tippy tappy kack and all the penertration of a worms penis. Bamford will get blame but i wouldn't want to be a no 9 in this slow perdestrian leeds team

we can be brilliant but we can also be inpet and fragile

most annoying thing is many predicted it and could of wrote the match report before kick off.

30 Jun 2020 21:55:08
Once again stats overload, but once again the wrong result! Nothing with Leeds is ever simple.

30 Jun 2020 22:22:38
the stats for me don't show we are a good team but show how poor we are. Just like a the poor arsenal teams all the ball but nothing to show for it.

30 Jun 2020 23:22:05
76% posesh,15 corners, 23 shots,9on target, that tells me we bossed the game yet again but couldn't do the most important thing . If we do go up the amount of money needed to stop us from yo-yo ing straight back down will be scary! Would Radz preside over that kind of investment? Sincerely doubt it.

01 Jul 2020 10:11:08
agree chris not a chance of getting the money needed in key areas to be confident next year.

30 Jun 2020 20:37:55
frustating and knid of what youd expect. they have men back and we play like a poor arsenal to break it down

we need to mix it up more. Phillips was amzing but then bottom of table champ team so expect no less

beradi on the pitch, which won me 90 quid as i said he would get red card or make a mistake in ten minutes. my mate gave me 8-1 and then beradi did what he did best. make a mistake. In all seriousness if beradi plays four games or more for us that has to be a worry.

30 Jun 2020 11:21:04
Hello george old friend hope you and your family are keeping well. Nice to see you contributing again was fearing the worst with this virus attacking the elderly more 😷🤧🤮.

30 Jun 2020 12:37:24
Martyn.
the virus would have no chance against George's quick wit and repartee! 😁.

30 Jun 2020 13:45:55
I'm convinced that the chilli sauce in my blood has made me immune too Danum.

30 Jun 2020 14:13:06
Good afternoon Martyn and Danum. I am moved by the eloquence of your words. All safe and well Big Fella, thank you for asking.

Shout out to Ausman. I read lovely post of yours enquiring about my well-being few weeks ago. Bless you and Australia 🇦🇺.

Health and prosperity to all posters and Eds. 💛💙💛💙⚽️.

30 Jun 2020 15:04:30
Need Mad Mick back now, unless of course he has formed a new 'bubble' with his Sister-in-law.

Welcome back George I asked the lovely Angus Kinnear to reach out to you, see how you were, I take it he sent some flowers and encouragement as is his want 😂.

30 Jun 2020 15:55:42
Hello Class 😆. Actually Kinnear popped round my house a month ago. Complying with government guidelines, my doors were closed and locked but Angus still made his way in nonetheless. Discovered he doesn't like 2 things very much. The first is Jesus Christ and the second are mongoose. He scarpered once I brought up these topics. 😆.

30 Jun 2020 20:01:38
Get a room you lot.

30 Jun 2020 21:34:17
Shame you never had a whicker basket to hand 😂 Glad to have you back safe and well for the promotion run in buddy.

30 Jun 2020 07:26:10
I know most people probably know this, but the last time Liverpool won the top flight we went up as champions! Spooky! 👻 💙💛💙.

30 Jun 2020 11:23:02
the omens are looking good.
