I can't believe people are still taking pot shots at Phillips. He's clearly got instructions from the manager & is carrying them out - otherwise he would be dropped. He's our top scorer in the Championship - which is a worry, but not about him - and has been fairly consistent in this new role since I saw him line up with O'Kane in Austria. A bigger issue for me is that we are not defending as a team, and that starts with pressing in the opposition half. Lasogga tries, but seriously, he's like a carthorse chasing after players. Saiz does his duty effectively, as does the DM2. But our wingers? Bad in different ways. Pablo is half-hearted in pressing and even worse at tackling back. It's only when he feels like it does he try, and I use the word inadvisedly! Roofe at least runs with some gusto, but it's headless chicken stuff, and like Pablo, doesn't support his full back. That's the biggest problem we have - teams do what they like, when they like, and we let them. Lasogga needs to get a stone run off him, but on the training pitch, not the field of play. Pablo needs to be used only when Saiz is not playing & Roofe isn't available. Dallas needs to start to add that extra bit of defensive steel he offers. I'm also in favour of us having a narrow 3 at times, with Viera lining up with the present 2 DMs.

forget instructions Jocko, Phillips has been STROLLING around ... look at the Reading goal again and see how culpable Phillips was ... look at Wednesday's first goal and see how his lazy side has returned ... he's done FCUK ALL the last five games, he's been off the pace and he simply hasn't tried at all ... the one thing Leeds fans expect from our players, effort, Phillips hasn't given

I am genuinely SHOCKED that Phillips has kept his place, I just don't get it ... bringing Vieira in is correct, but playing three DMs says the mentality is "get a point" ... this is a real concern, and says to me the manager has lost confidence in his squad and is trying to kick start the team with an away draw ... right now I can see Bristol swamping us if we start with a back foot, sit deep approach ... they are a dangerous team when they have belief and sense weakness

no width will hurt us, Saiz won't hug the line ... I'm fcuked off, would have had Sacko in place of Phillips giving us loads of pace out wide ... we have seen what pace does in this division, it gives us a way out of defence and it holds their defensive line a bit deeper because they can't risk a ball in behind their full backs ... this takes away their pressing game and opens up space for Saiz ... deperate line up this, tells me Leeds will take a 0-0

Coach needs to be sacked. Hopefully by 5pm.
Fluke a win or draw and he gets another month to drag us down

chippy, most times you do spout a lot of garbage bait, but right now I am starting to think Tommy is creaking a bit and he is unsure how to fix this blip ... maybe he pushes Phillips into the 10 role but that wouldn't make sense ... clean sheet seems they objective here, scoring is secondary ... lose this and we could well go on a long slide to the bottom half
