Who would have thought that newly promoted Leeds United would win 6 ( yes! SIX! ) out of their first 11 away matches?
Best 3 away wins so far today :
coming from behind to a top team in Leicester,
then the thrashing of Vile,
followed by a thoroughly deserved victory at Everton.
My 'LUFC Player of the season (so far) Patrick Bamford',
'Premier League Liam Cooper'

Who knows where we would be in the league if we had the mighty whites fans helping us at home also. Not that we donāt support well away as we all know we are one of the best .

Our performances can be so wildly fluctuating. Can't beat lower league one week then could win the World Cup the next (yes I know! ) .
This is not a complaint, so long as we cruise along merrily in mid table (or higher) this season, I am more than happy.
Big up, to the goalscorers but a special mention to Coops and (even more) to Pascal who is giving a wonderful headache to MB when Llorente/ Koch are fit. I do not think they should just walk back in. The man has done all that has been asked and, so far, has not put a foot wrong.

01 Feb 2021 11:06:27
Perry Benson is playing my father in the film who is based on my grandad Mick, Perry is quality and such a lovely bloke to have him play my granddad is such an honour.
The last heist is based (loosely) on my family and the underworld nature of their work. I am playing slips @michaelheadactor on instagram (yes I have become one of them twits now) in the video you shared i'm the bloke with all the chins at the beginning and then on the floor in pain later on.
Thanks for the promotion, can't do the tattoo sadly but I can praise Belisa, it was mentioned below if I would go for yesterday was a plan B. I don't think it was quite a plan B but it was an adaptation or tweak of plan A and it worked a dream, plan A is quality so if we can tweak it and get results like yesterday Belisa will continue to make me look very silly for questioning him and long may that continue.

Have to say, squad all round deserved huge praise today,
Dallas - sneaky how he has 4 goals this season now. Incredible to say consider him a Ā£25m + player in the current environment. If he chips in with more than 5 I'll run out superlatives.
Bamford - what else can I say apart from he's my favourite Leeds striker in my 26 years moving ever so slightly above Becchio/ Beckford (too young to properly remember Viduka) etc. The transformation from the embarrassment of Villa in the championship (a low point for me) has been incredible.
Struijk - much maligned from me if you read my posts, and questioned if he has prem capabilities. This game and Burnley he's been invaluable so huge well done from me for today. Reassert don't think a starter but starting to view him as less of a liability if these types of performances continue.
Klich - started to look closer to his old industrious combative self, and don't mind actually he picked up a yellow, putting himself about. don't think he's all the way the back yet but today was much, much better.
Meslier - one pretty good save in the first half, and quite a few fairly easy saves from distance. That being said Casilla I'dve had my heart in my mouth on all of them. Not the case for Meslier who I trust. Think he could have claimed the corner rather than punch only minor thing.
Raphinha - 17M was it? Steal of our transfer window. Really growing into the creative fulcrum of the team with his passing and shooting. I think last game he was developing a good understanding with Rodrigo (obviously cut a bit short today) but that looks promising.
Harrison a bit quiet apart from his solid shot in the first half, but still had the energy to support Bamford for that killer goal late on and finish.
Ayling, Phillips, and Alioski too were all very good.

Ealing, give Struick a bit of time. He has gone from under 23s to premiership with only a few champ games and being played in different positions. If you want the youngsters to play he has to get experience. Been a great year for him, hard worker and always wants to learn, Bielsa will like him.

Really pleased that Padbameyang grabbed a goal today as i was a bit worried that he was embarking on a dry spell. Fabulously taken as well. Struick looking better every game - keep him in the team for me and yes even Cooper developing well now that he is getting a run of games. Really hope Raphinha isn't badly injured as he is really starting to find his flow know and the ball for Bamford was a delight.
Leicester not at their best without Vardy but still a very good team and a decent scalp.
Bring on Everton on what will hopefully be a decent playing surface.

31 Jan 2021 16:44:16
Clear we did amend our playing style as I pointed out couple weeks ago. Full backs play a little deeper and the midfield a hair deeper too. Means we defend better and more dangerous in transition. Less of these sweeping end to end games where we score but concede more. Marcelo has finally worked it out in the PL.
If we spend wisely in the summer, we'll be top 6 contenders next season.

Still find it odd how we close down players in their own half but we don't when they are closing in on our box.
Must be something trained into them as it's not natural for defenders to allow players the time and space to run at you.
