Four games in and we can be proud of the lads. 7pts from 12. Lost tothe champions and drew wwith the previous champions, said Liverpool would get lucky. Bamford started well but always fear a dry spell from him but we now have Rodrigo and a lad named Super Sam in U23s. Some strong subs as well, Poveda looks a steal. Would like a good number ten before the window closes but our squad is a bit stronger and signed some very good youngsters.

We have shown we can give anyone a game and we have to hope we can stay relatively free of injuries. I know a few on here were dreading the opening few games so hope your nerves have been settled a bit. We can only get better as we add more quality to the squad. Onwards and upwards lads.

Bamford had a poor game. Needs to get back on it.

04 Oct 2020 10:17:20
Bamford had a poor game by his standards, but up against two of the worlds best centre backs. there’s a shock! 🤔🤔🤣😉.

03 Oct 2020 21:02:12
That was Leonard v Hagler all over again!

04 Oct 2020 10:19:39
Neville called it Rocky vs Apollo.

03 Oct 2020 20:17:53
late to party as been busy with work so likely lads the game today (late start but avioided the score)

wow. entertaining. got something from game

got to say i thought league one liam defended very well today. as always lost every headed but defending was far better than i have ever given him credit for

slight negitive is tyler roberts who just looks out of depth

povda changed game and is class and about 15 years old

rodrigo looking good, koch was great today. safe to say today i loved koch (his name is the gift that keeps on giving)

enjoyed that game and the lads did us proud. so much so i will even by pass my weekly phillips rant

happy days.

i will leave with this. when we come up the main thing we all wanted to know is will we stay up. of course we don't know and many teams like norwich start well then fall off so we might. but i think we are not only safe but will give anyone a game.

03 Oct 2020 20:35:21
Pretty much spot on Berm.

03 Oct 2020 20:54:28
Spot on about Liam and Poveda, Bermo.
Liam looked a leader, and Poveda took that beast Mendy to pieces. Great deliveries from the kid too. Proud of every single player who took part tonight, and the rain was not going to make Bielsa sit in the dugout either!

03 Oct 2020 21:04:05
Roberts gets time because Rodrigo tires after 30 min.
That time will increase weekly as he gets fitter but we need better than Roberts.

03 Oct 2020 21:28:12
I see what you ate saying about Rodrigo fitness but Roberts has his chance if I was shacks stuijk or even mcclamot I’d be on the door wanting minutes over Roberts.

03 Oct 2020 22:10:50
Liam Cooper . stepping up.

03 Oct 2020 22:13:15
King Pablo 💜 hopefully will be fit again in 2 weeks time to take his place in the starting line up instead of Roberts in Leeds next match against Wolves.

03 Oct 2020 22:21:44
Only Shack would be an attacking midfielder out of those three I think. I'd actually add Geldhaert to the list of players I'd look to try there.
We need to buy a second #8 rather than a #10 as our dynamic play creates at this level.
Either way I think Roberts isn't good enough in that role yet.
Hopefully Pablo is back soon.

03 Oct 2020 22:45:53
What a great result and a great performance, especially to come back after a pretty tough opening 20 mins.

I was so hoping Roberts would have a great game, but as most have said, he is out of his depth and not good enough, and apart from one nifty pass, he added nothing to proceedings, showing we need a number 10 as Pablo won’t be a 90 minute man every week.

Hopefully we will get someone in tomorrow that can create the chances for BamBam, is Countinho doing anything for the next 8 months?

03 Oct 2020 20:06:41
Simply beyond comprehension to read criticisms of Leeds players Side before Self, and Bub picks these players because he rates them and knows what they add to the collective and with 7 points in the Premiership having now played the Champions from last year losing by one goal and now drawn with the runners up.

I said on Thursday that we could grab a pint here today but more importantly we will learn and improve from playing these incredible teams.

This is a few weeks into a season in the best league out there and the boys are giving everything feeling very proud and excited to what we can achieve this year.

{Ed047's Note - you’ve been brilliant 92, no idea why anyone would want to moan 🤷‍♂️

03 Oct 2020 20:18:03
Class

Absolutely agree, no even sure if some of these consistent moaners are not Manutd fans in disguise.

Not insulting you if you are actually genuine Leeds fans but if so, guys, come on, read some of your own posts.

Are your lives that black that you seek to be negative all the time?

This is Leeds, this is football, this is the thing we choose to do with are lives. For god sake enjoy your lives, we only get one go at it.

03 Oct 2020 20:41:49
Lol Axe really yep rogue Man U fans in disguise as Leeds fans have invaded this site for yonks 😂😂😂😂 care to name usernames of these devious infiltators . should be absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂.

03 Oct 2020 20:57:22
Class and Axe! Brilliant! Spot on!
Moaning before kickoff, in our first season in the PL in 16 years, and having spent almost £100million in the summer!
Beggars belief that people out there can still be negative.

03 Oct 2020 21:12:55
Axa, manutd fans they say as they see it, first 20 Minutes was crap, perhaps you did have your glass on or you did have your tv turned in. Manutd fans say as they see non fans only think they did see it.

03 Oct 2020 19:37:08
I am extremely proud of my Club.

We have nothing to fear.

They were looking very tired towards the end but to be fair, Leeds also were knackered!

03 Oct 2020 19:43:43
Can't argue with our commitment, have given every team we played so far a game. Yes we do things wrong at times and have been punished, but we belong in this decision and will give any team a game.

03 Oct 2020 19:45:55
What a team, what a last 70 minutes from the boys!
Poveda looked immense, and effectively forced Mendy’s substitution!
Everyone was off the pace, and nervous for the opening twenty, but we grew into the better team until the last ten mins.
Ayling, outstanding!

03 Oct 2020 19:52:36
Yes very pleasing confidence building result ; could have won it ; proud of that performance especially all of the second half; Bielsa definitely looked somewhat disappointed that Leeds had drawn rather than won

And pleased for Victor Orta
Love the extreme passion, expressions, screaming and general noise of Orta that he makes from the stands including today.
What a passionate supporter this guy is!

03 Oct 2020 19:55:58
Poveda looked amazing, ayling superb! Unbelievable football at times, edge of seat stuff! Loved it! Oh really pleased for Rodrigo he looked good too!

03 Oct 2020 19:56:59
Great result. You could see them growing in confidence as the day wore on and we could have snatched it. Hung on a bit at the end but come on that was one of the best teams in Europe. We have nothing to fear in this league let's go kick some ass.

03 Oct 2020 19:57:33
Think we may have been starstruck, seeing player that they normal have on their PlayStation.

03 Oct 2020 20:09:42
Mr Bielsa, inspired substitutions, fantastic, played the best 2 teams in England and haven't been embarrassed
If we can keep Bielsa for 2 more seasons after this 1, european football beckons.

03 Oct 2020 19:32:31
First 4 games seven points and played both City and Pool. We all would have taken that at the start . Teams in a learning curve and put in a great display and could have won it.
After where we have been we can all be proud of our team.

03 Oct 2020 19:46:43
Absolutely!

03 Oct 2020 19:47:09
Well said 70!
Better than the doomers at the 20minute mark, and even before kickoff! 🤔.

03 Oct 2020 19:50:54
Yep- Gone head to head with best 2 teams in the league.
Won the other two
Still not really up to speed
5th in the league
Everyone else has said how entertaining we have been in all 4 games
What's not to like
Tactical battle was intriguing today, and Bielsa won it for my money.

03 Oct 2020 21:16:38
Brightwhite, no one Is a doomers? just saying as it was, give your finger a rest it’s getting boring.

04 Oct 2020 10:26:45
Like wise doomer!

04 Oct 2020 10:27:48
All I’m saying, is have some faith. we were in awe of who we were playing against in the first 20, then showed that we are Leeds, and don’t give a flying feck who you are! Be proud!

03 Oct 2020 18:42:56
Still have not figured out the fascination with Roberts!

03 Oct 2020 19:44:30
I think bubs is giving Ty every chance poss to prove he has it, he can never say he wasn't given a fair crack at Leeds.

03 Oct 2020 18:19:41
A very nervous opening 20, but we have grown into the game as it's progressed, and played some great football in patches, creating plenty of chances.
It's strange watching another team play the exact same style as us!
That said, what a team Citeh are, but that's what half a billion pounds buys you!

03 Oct 2020 19:33:02
Gave them too much respect in the first half, once our players realise they are also premiership players then we will fly. Missed Harrison today, povadea looked good when he came on.

03 Oct 2020 19:46:48
Yes it's the fruit of being filthy rich, phil played well during the times kalvo snoozed out of game, but obvs bubs threw the rocket up his back orifice half time as Phil's influence wained, I am so so proud of the boys 👍👍💪💪.

03 Oct 2020 19:50:58
Loved that second half from Poveda! Even out muscled that mountain Mendy! Brilliant!

03 Oct 2020 20:02:53
Well said Chris!

03 Oct 2020 17:49:42
Can we not put a cheeky bid in for that Raheem Sterling kid? He looks handy. 🤔🤔🤔👀.

03 Oct 2020 19:28:41
Think we still need two or three in, give the ball away far to much, how ever happy with the draw, and the weather did help.

03 Oct 2020 16:59:51
Not overly impressed that Roberts has been given another start in the number 10 position. He hasn’t delivered this season and isn’t good enough at the moment for the Premiership, and we are up against a fairly decent team!
Hope I am wrong and he has a stormer of a game, but I won’t hold my breathe!
Come on boys, let’s turn over City so I can send a sarcastic tweet to Noel ‘Muppet’ Gallagher.

03 Oct 2020 12:50:47
Trying to stay awake watching chelsea game.
Football being played is like 10 yrs ago.
Boring possession with over passing and little intent or threat.
Very little pressure or closing down.
Zzzzzz
Neither of these 2 will be in top 5.
Boring.

03 Oct 2020 13:29:27
Agree Aus, it's terrible, despite Frankie's spending spree.

03 Oct 2020 13:50:06
Deflection deflection deflection back header goal.
Prob get fat frank manager of month.
So hope we spank these.

03 Oct 2020 14:41:29
Yes love to beat Frank Lampard's Chelsea as they are now called.
4 - 0 looks impressive, but Palace were shocking.
