What time does the transfer window close tomorrow? Asking for a friend in Liverpool.
04 Oct 2020 20:20:41
Glad we didn't go in for Watkins. Looks rubbish.
04 Oct 2020 20:55:50
Lmao ๐๐. Grealish is a lovely player. Last time Liverpool conceded 7, they also lost 7-2 to Spurs but it was 57 years ago when Bright and Zooks were just toddlers ๐คฃ๐คฃ. No top flight champion in English football have ever conceded 7 in a game until now.
04 Oct 2020 21:13:44
Apart from the only occasion when Black Cats beat Arsenal the league champions at the time 7-1, in 1953.

Villa getting their money worth in Ollie Watkins.
04 Oct 2020 19:52:55
Ahh OW scores two for Villa against LiVARpool
It's unjust that Villa are even in the EPL this season, and signing OW, as that Sheff Utd VAR goal that should have been given last season against Villa would have meant that Villa were relegated instead of Bournemouth . it truly sucks ๐ฅด๐คจ๐ค.

Oli will be sacked next week, and Warnock will be brought in to โsteady the shipโ.
Paul Butler will be assistant head manager coach, and Paddy Kenny will come out of retirement to solidify the shaky ยฃ250m back four. โTonggyโ. Will replace 2/ 10 Pogba, to bring some creativity.

They need a proper captain, somebody like Cooper who I think has been fantastic on the pitch this season but the impact of his leadership is massively underrated I believe. What a man.
04 Oct 2020 18:23:24
Very poor for their goal yesterday on the double.
04 Oct 2020 18:30:20
Just what Utd need a man who is incapable of winning a header hope we can sell for 40 million.
04 Oct 2020 21:45:46
Iโll never slag Cooper. He loves Leeds, and is a very proud Captain.
Actually, Iโll never slate any player who wears the shirts. Yes, Iโll say if theyโve had a bad game, or bad moments, but never slate them. And thatโs not a slight on anyone else, itโs just my way.
05 Oct 2020 09:23:04
so bright what did you say when roque jrn was at the club or enrich shiwimumie or whatever his name is. maybe throw in Paul rucrapka as well?
I respect your stance and admire your restraint but personally I just can't help myself. neil killkenny and Stephen cariney I think have been the ones to make my blood boil most when wearing the white shirt of my club.

I was hoping we would get a full season of ' Oli at the wheel' mediocrity.
04 Oct 2020 17:16:28
Very interesting to note from Bubs press conference when asked about Povedaโs impact as sub.
Bub actually confirmed that Victor Orta brought Poveda in (Bub indicated he wasnโt aware until he arrived)
Bub openly said he didnโt know if Poveda possessed the physical or technical skills required (remember how Poveda was sent to U23s)
Bub went onto say he fully trusts Poveda now, interesting because Iโd always thought all transfers were 100% Bubs decision.
Credit to Victor and great to hear thereโs so much trust between the recruitment team and the Manager.

Dallas, as good as he's playing is a winger/ utility player. Get in a left back to free up Dallas to cover everyone, if that's what he is now. Mr Utility, nothing wrong in that role.
Like others, not seen Roberts play to well so far. Send him to the shrink, can't not help ๐
Greenwood would be nice to see him moved to the bench. Then again, the league should change the subs rule. Add two more places but they must be home ground players and under 21. Spice it up a bit by saying they can come on even after the 3 normal subs been used.
Enjoy Sunday roast and keep believing ๐.
04 Oct 2020 17:57:33
Dallas deserves a season at LB in the PL before he's dislodged. Wonderful player and human being.
04 Oct 2020 18:16:22
I agree George, he is playing some superb stuff at the moment. Not sure why people think we need a left back other than as backup.
04 Oct 2020 18:29:34
Yes tis true George, Dallas deserves that and more.
04 Oct 2020 18:32:35
No one deserves anything for being a good person play well or get dropped. personally Dallas and copper both donโt start but hard to complain at the moment even for me.
04 Oct 2020 19:09:31
Yes Alf, recruiting a left back as back up to Dallas.
04 Oct 2020 19:13:47
Just love Stuart. Beautiful human being And player and walks into our team every day of the week. Best left back we have at the club. End off. Take the blinkers off Guys. No pleasing some. ๐๐๐คฃ๐คฃโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ.
04 Oct 2020 19:16:55
Great post OTG. Excellent idea of the young subs.
George. Dallas deserves to keep playing for Leeds for as long as heโs playing well.
Bermo stop talking nonsense. Dallas our player of the year and so far this season absolutely unbelievable. Long may he continue this form.
Paul Madeley.
04 Oct 2020 19:36:49
Corkie. I concur. some guys must watch games with eyes shut. How can a player get for many good reviews. Player of dragon etc etc. And still
Need replaced. Absolute nonsense ๐๐๐โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ.
04 Oct 2020 20:05:51
Player of season. Typo.
05 Oct 2020 00:04:18
anyone who thinks our player of the season so far is not klich then Bamford is just wrong. there is eyes shut then abosutl madness.
Dallas is a defender who conceded 7 goals in two games. therefore can not be the player of the season so far after four. it is a joke to call any leeds defender player of the season when we have conceded a lot and scored just as many. amd my eyes are shut?
seriously.
04 Oct 2020 14:59:30
Season so far, we don't need another left back, Dallas has been superb all season, Davies and alioski can play there if required . I'm comfortable that Poveda can certainly do a job on the wing and Harrison costa and maybe Rafinha if he comes in well will have depth there . I still maintain even after how good we have been we are short in central mid.
04 Oct 2020 13:49:11
Must saying. Both our full backs wer incredible yesterday. Both could have scored only for 2 great saves by a how many millions worth keeper. Season is just getting better. 9/ 10 team performance. Would have been 10/ 10. If got the win. ๐โฝ๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐โฝ๏ธ๐.
04 Oct 2020 14:30:34
Agreed Battsmarty both full backs Ayling and Dallas were excellent and vital components to our team playing well.
04 Oct 2020 13:26:57
What I will independently say from yesterday's game is I thought Koch was class.
04 Oct 2020 13:38:41
agree George. Only 2 players I thought wer off and not at best. Was alioski and Roberts. But that wasnโt hard too work out. All the rest superb. โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ๐๐.
04 Oct 2020 16:53:42
Agree George, and he only going to get better with time! At ยฃ13 million, an amazing signing!
04 Oct 2020 13:24:07
If we buy Raphina that's two 16mill+ back ups to Poveda. Strength on depth, or what, on the right?
04 Oct 2020 10:50:43
Very happy chappy this morning . So proud of this team and what a manager! I will ignore the three or four average individual performances as we went toe to toe with one of the most expensively assembled club sides in history . MB's first two subs were bang on the money . Rodders was electric . Love how he comes deep to dictate play and one turn and 40 yard pass out of our penalty area to the right flank was mesmerising. Villa can keep Watkins! Already 7 points clear of relegation and looking upwards . We finish the window right and bag Raphinha and a centre mid and ideally move on Kiko for a safer pair of hands and with Bielsa anything is possible . Let's dare to dream .
04 Oct 2020 11:43:22
Hang on RHC it was only a week or so ago that you stated on this site that Rodrigo was an 'extremely poor ' signing ๐คฃ๐ what happened?
04 Oct 2020 12:06:47
I think George said that didn't he Vid?
04 Oct 2020 12:31:07
Alf it was DEFINITELY RHC also
I stated in reply to RHC post that perhaps he should get a Rodrigo and Koch tattoo on his back side if he was proved wrong ( a la Berm) ๐ฅด๐คฃ๐.
04 Oct 2020 12:50:14
big difference BV Rodrigo and koch look to be imporving hence being wrong. for the sake of harmony I left KP out of my posts yesterday but I after watching Fulham and Man City game. i'm pretty confident KP will not be proving me wrong by a long shot
also for any doubters watch back the highlights of the shelf Utd game. wtach the clip of Meiliers first world class save. then go back and watch it again. ignore the shot and the save and play my fav game. what is Phillips doing. its very funny to watch. unless your a leeds fan. or KP.
04 Oct 2020 13:09:13
Alf Didn't say he was extremely poor but did question and criticize his signing and compared against the development and treatment of Edmondson.
I said he didn't appear to be a good percentage purchase in terms of the money. I also said while a good player, wasn't sure he'd be good for us and cited the pace of the (not so new) English game in the PL.
I'm not backtracking, said what I said but didn't say he was "extremely poor". He certainly played well second half against Citeh but still too early to judge. He is also still a sub.
I hope he does well and proves me and RHC wrong. Unsure that RHC's bashing of him reached Berm KP levels. Fans are allowed to be wrong, game of opinions.
04 Oct 2020 13:24:11
Baz I admit I questioned the Rodders signing and said I would have preferred OW . I just didnโt think given his stats he was what we needed as a first choice number nine . But he clearly has the skills to make an impact and help the team . Only worry is if Bamfordโs goals dry up or he gets injured, whether Rodrigo can lead the line in this league .
04 Oct 2020 13:26:18
nothing has ever or will ever reach my bashing of KP. which has even got to the man himself
a mate I play football with is working with the media company who has signed KP for some advertising deal and my mate has been in a number of contract talks with Phillips and told him about me. phillips just laughed and said he might even come down for a kick about with me and my mates which would be a real privilege.
Apparently he grew up five minutes away from er and just brought a new house 8 minutes away. proper leeds through and through and when Jack Grelish (who Phillips is really good mates with) tired to broker a deal and get phillips more money it very nearly happened but he couldn't leave leeds. love this story
still think he is the slowest player in professional football and worst defensive midfielder ever. although his set pieces are quality the corner that went straight out for a goal kick yesterday was worthy of the name Pirlo. maybe old BW has got in his head!
04 Oct 2020 14:20:49
Fair comment RHC
I would have loved us to have OW as well as Rodders and Bambam too.
04 Oct 2020 15:11:32
Berm WOW! That's a very interesting post of yours. First off, I believe you. Second, my respect for you higher for disclosing. My question to you is now that you know KP is aware of your opinion, doesn't it make you feel like you should stop? I know you say KP laughed it off but you never know how a person is feeling inside. You're right he's no Batty and does lack mobility at times but with the increased speed and physicality the game has seen the last few years, it's a much harder position to excel in. Can't tell you what to do, but I think you ought to relent now. Like it or not, he's an England international and he's possibly going to meet up with you according to your mate which is very noble of him. KP is a very nice guy. I think he's earned a reduction in insults.
04 Oct 2020 18:37:34
Never George you get paid to play., you wear the shirt you represent the team. you live or die by performances. same with me if you buy my film or ticket to my show you have the right to slate it.
He is useless, remains useless and I have started a selection of videos to show him if by chance we do meet which I shall watch with him and talk him through and love to hear what he thinks. if he knows football he wonโt have an answer. I sent it to my mate to show him with full Bermondsey analysis
Play better or I shall continue. if a pro canโt take it, they are not a pro.
04 Oct 2020 19:18:16
Berm why does KP often look like the culprit when things don't go well?
Because he's doing the job of 3 players.
Leeds style is to attack in numbers which leaves us vulnerable to the quick counter.
Our front 5 plus often at least 1 full back are in the opposition 20 for half the game leaving limited numbers back.
KPs job is when they counter he has to slow their play down to allow reinforcements back.
His positioning allows this to work and allows our system to thrive. Without him it won't work and very few can replace him (as we see almost every time he is out) . If he had pace hed be incredible, he hasn't and sometimes gets caught out for it.
Bielsa knows a lot more than you or I ever will so trust him to know who's the best for that role.
04 Oct 2020 20:10:50
Why would a professional footballer working under Marcelo. Want too even consider what you have too say about what way heโs told too play. give it a rest. Heโs the professional not you. Heโs plays for England not you. Everyone has an opinion bermo. But yours is wrong mate. Bet you heโs not sleeping well
At night with how bad heโs playing. ๐คฃ๐โฝ๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐.
04 Oct 2020 20:26:48
batts I never said he would give a flying fkuc what I said and credit to him, any professional that's listens to a fan ain't worth a rub. I always say that when people say fans shoulndt give stick and it can affect them etc. its waters off a ducks back and so it should be
canada he ain't doing the job of three people klich is. klich is scoring one end and then defending the other. I just hope he don't get a back injury carrying a 14 stone sack of Siht that is KP
as for missing him. no we didn't we won five out of five with stuijk playing and I don't think it will be long before he is taking up's place.
as for England please its so boring. roque jr played many times for the best country in the world. he still gets stick
Dave nugent, Paul konkeysky. I've done this list before. playing for England is not a seal of approval for being a good player. playing well is. and let's be honest he ain't been playing well so far this season.
04 Oct 2020 10:33:21
Just want to ask a quick question.
If the squad stays as it is, (maybe plus two, who will need til Jan to get up to speed) , where do people expect us to finish the season?
For me, between 8-10.
04 Oct 2020 10:44:52
10th to 14th. Tiredness will be a factor in the latter stages.
04 Oct 2020 11:47:22
38 tough games.
Would definitely like another CM and CAM.
With no injuries to key players it's possible we can finish 10th but expect we will finish between 12th and 15th.
04 Oct 2020 12:19:13
Top half, need 11 more wins from 34 games for 40 points, that is the first target.
04 Oct 2020 12:52:44
impossible to say
injuries would be key factor. for example if we lose Kilch or Bamford for a couple of months we might be in real trouble
then you got form. a lot of promoted teams like Norwich and Blackpool start well then really fall off and go down. I will be honest I don't think we will do that but I bet neither did Norwich fans when they ripped Chelsea to shreds or Blackpool fans when they were 10th at xmas. it does happen
I think we could end up as high at 6 but its a long way off so just enjoying the moment.
04 Oct 2020 13:18:09
Bright Best answered once window closes. However, it's looking like 10th or 11th.
04 Oct 2020 15:15:11
George mate, you got that wrong, you answer it at the end of the season because youโve hedged your bets and and can be called a Leeds fan, saying what you see or think During the game or season means your not a Leeds fan. ( According to so call Leeds fan on this site) .
04 Oct 2020 09:27:58
A well deserved draw yesterday. For us a point well earned, for them two points dropped so feel MB will be the happier manager. A real plus pont was the form of Poveda, taking on his man at every opportunity and certainly a starter, for me, next time. The only disappointments were Roberts and Alioski who just weren't up to it. Even Cooper showed a few question marks over his performance. A few more like that may sound the call for Llorente as Koch's partner. I am so proud that the lads weathered the first 20min storm and after that either team could have won and that against a, billion dollar, second best in the nation, set of players.
04 Oct 2020 10:45:36
For all that I love Coops, for his vast improvement, for his love of the club, and for his leadership and what heโs achieved with us, itโs inevitable that Llorente will come in eventually. Heโs Koch x2 and Pontus x10.we will have the best defence in this league, behind Liverpool, with those two at the back, and both are ballers as well! Good times, even better times ahead!
04 Oct 2020 11:51:13
Agreed
Llorente and Koch with Coops on the bench.
04 Oct 2020 12:54:24
I have been big Slater of Cooper but I thought he did well yesterday only problem was he lost 100% of his headers. a cb that can not head a ball will also bring problems. I think Llorente and koch to start but I also tip my hat to coopers who played better yesterday than I ever thought he would.
04 Oct 2020 08:55:01

04 Oct 2020 00:05:53
Roberts puts too much energy into his kneel and not enough into his game. I don't expect much from him and that's exactly what he brings. nothing. Maybe he should be played as a late sub instead of starting?
04 Oct 2020 02:50:55
OEC Once we land our new number 10, he'll be a sub.
04 Oct 2020 06:40:25
Even without the goal Rodrigo offering a lot more. As Rodders gets fitter expect him to occupy that berth earlier in games.
04 Oct 2020 10:15:06
Thatโs the thing, Rodrigo just isnโt fit enough yet, and with Pabs out, Tyler has to start. Once Rodri is up to Bielsa fitness, he will start, no doubt, and he will be an absolute gem for us!
04 Oct 2020 10:44:40
Not sure Roberts will even make the bench George.
If we played last years starting 11 (koch for white) we could have Caprille, Struijk, Llorente, Rodrigo, Poveda, Shackleton, Alioski on the bench. With talk of the likes of Raphinha, Campana and Cantwell I can see Roberts and even Alioski not making the squad.
Interesting times!
04 Oct 2020 10:51:08
absolutely Bright. He had some great touches yesterday. Really calm and collected too amidst the chaos all around.
04 Oct 2020 11:55:30
Roberts tends to play better coming on as a sub rather starting.
He has talent but needs to show it far more consistently.
It's clear that Bielsa though still has some belief in him.
03 Oct 2020 23:54:16
It was a very tough game, as in the end it was for City. All I can say is I was very proud of our team.
