Why is it all the players we are linked with and ultimately sign have been/ are hampered by injury?

Because we don’t want to pay top whack for prime meat, we looks for the steaks that need maturing or that haven’t quite managed to make it in a Michelin restaurant due to its imperfections.

Err in two words and ten letters starts with V ends in A 😉.

Precisely Baz.

Karen Carney believes Leeds United will win the premier league due to the 3rd lock down.

05 Jan 2021 00:10:11
She knows her stuff!

05 Jan 2021 00:43:06
I am in awe of genius of guru Karen

I therefore really like the look of odds of 50-1 for Leeds to finish in top 4 post 3rd Lockdown

Farsley Does she think we'll have a good cup run too?

Another bit of toilet worthy punditry this time from Alan Shearer, claiming Bamford’s defending against Alderweireld’s header was clueless. Maybe so from a defenders point of view, but he’s not a defender.
Bamford really does get it in the neck sometimes, here’s a striker who has just come up from the Championship, works his butt off, scores ten goals so far this season, which incidentally is equal only to Kevin Phillips who was the last striker to score the same amount 20 years ago from a promoted team.
Shearer was a brilliant striker no doubt but he did no where near the physical and Km’s shift that Bamford puts into any given game.
Give it a rest Shearer you dope, try tearing apart some more established premiership striker.

04 Jan 2021 10:02:50
And I wonder where Bamford would be in top scorers if you didn't count the help of penalties. Vardy and Salah seem to have had a lot of these goals.

04 Jan 2021 10:43:37
I think he'd probably be 2nd behind DCL.

04 Jan 2021 10:49:45
Agree.
He dosent convert enough but works harder than any other striker I’ve ever seen.
Shearer. Join Newcastle. You might be able to help them survive this season or prob not cause you were a selfish git who didn’t know how to defend. Tosser.

Great post OP! So true.

04 Jan 2021 12:01:51
Bamford is great at defending corners and I can see shearers point in that big strikers have to do a shift in our own box.

but this is clueless. Aldwerilder was Phillips man, he beat phillips to the header. this is not me slating phillips as he was quality in the air against burnley and he had no chance against one of the best in the air so I didn't slate him at the time and not slating him now. but to blame Bamford seems a bit mental.

It’s becoming a blame culture football, we win as a team and lose as a team. Yeah individual errors can be game changing but we are all human but not one professional player goes out to make a mistake leading to a goal. So I don’t understand why we jump on mistakes.

04 Jan 2021 13:40:25
I have said, many a time, there should be two figures in the goalscoring charts 1) total goals 2) penalties. It's not fair automatically including pens when the taker could have been just an observer of the incident.

04 Jan 2021 20:24:16
Away days under belisa it is very much a certain persons fault. Belisa does man for man marking so when we concede it is often one persons fault so easy to point the finger

It’s the nature of football people still blame peter Reid for not bringing down Maradona in 86 World Cup so I don’t think it is a new culture.

Pablo Hernandez💜 : the Leeds Legend and midfield maestro player that can always be relied upon when it really matters most in both scoring and assisting goals.

Pablo's most recent 2 seasons stats
77 games
21 goals ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
21 assists ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Impressive naturally.

I have said it before, but it needs saying again:

Without Pablo, Leeds would still be in the Championship, even with Bielsa as coach.


Pablo should be playing and starting this season. End of.

Forever grateful to Pablo 💜.

04 Jan 2021 10:58:58
Yes, he’s great. But we are definitely not a one man team.

04 Jan 2021 12:33:20
Yes Brighty agreed we are most definitely not a one man team.

04 Jan 2021 12:37:04
. but Pablo has. been crucial for Leeds.

04 Jan 2021 13:42:31
Gree Baz but his age dictates that he should e nursed and wether that is playing just the first half or the second, I do not know?

04 Jan 2021 15:25:41
Have to agree Baz - At least on his contributions last year and will go down as a Legend however I don't think he is up to starting at his age. If you start him options are taken away knowing that he probably won't finish.

If only Pablo was a few years younger Cambridge.
