    What's the best platform to watch LUTV?

    Laptop? On the app? Can you get the app on a firestick?

    What's everyones preferred way?

    :biggrin:
    ... coaches know that whether chances go in or not is down to individual errors, moments of brilliance or bounce of the ball... what they’re bothered about is balance of play and whether opportunities are created. Thought we rode our luck today... normally we can’t buy a break.

    So, bielsa was happy with the 2-0 defeat at Cardiff, and while I’m sure he’s glad of the points won’t have been happy with today.

    so Yeh, I just take my lead from the likes of bielsa:emoticon-0105-wink:

    Anyone else keep going back to look at the league table? Tbf, I've only did it 6 or 7 times. Honest.

    Well, perhaps a few more. Same feeling as looking at your first dirty book as a wee boy. :D

    I thought it was just me. Have looked at the table several times since the final whistle. Have been in a ****ty mood all week but now it has been lifted. I felt it was crucial to win this game and to do it by scoring 3 goals and conceding none was beyond my wildest dreams. I know there is a long way stilll to go and was feeling rather despondent after WBA failed to halt Brentford but feel I can relax and enjoy it a bit more now.

    Same here. Regardless what others were saying, this was a must win and by god we did it in style. Now we can enjoy the run in people, the others can fight for the scraps

    Makes a change to have someone on Sky who is so for Leeds and has a clear hatred for the opposition. He loved it when Ayling left one in on Mitrovic

    By makes a change, I mean the one who is supposed to be more neutral, the studio always has an ex player from each team but one of the two match commentators is usually a Leeds hater like Goodman

    Here's my take on things from behind the sofa...

    Firstly without Costa's run and superb pull back to Bamford for the 1st goal we could definitely have lost the game. We were clearly second best in the crucial midfield area and that allowed Fulham to have a seemingly limitless supply line to their wide players once they'd played through our press.

    The reason for this seemed to be playing Tyler Roberts in a sort of no'10 position. We just couldn't stop the triangles and interplay of the back four and midfield three of Fulham. Essentially with Phillips sitting deeper it was 7 against 6 and we were totally outplayed for most of the first half. The saving grace however was that Bamford goal which gave us the extra impetus to hang on in there until half time. If nothing else the team were desperate to preserve that lead and showed a massive desire defensively whilst clearly second best during that period.

    Second half and not only did we change personal we changed our tactical approach as well. Firstly we bolstered the midfield by having Pablo, Klich and Phillips playing together who are consistently our best midfield three since Bielsa took over. Additionally we played a high block instead of pressing and closing down, this means leaving the opposition centre half in possession but not allowing him to play out to his full backs or a short pass into the feet of a midfielder. He's then left with the options of long pass down the middle or a diagonal to the wings. If you watched closely you could see Tyler Roberts now blocking options rather than sprinting to close down the man in possession.

    These masterstokes from Bielsa completely changed the direction/flow of the match and he should rightly be applauded for taking the neccessary and required actions.

    Second half we were by far the superior team, which I don't think any of us would have predicted at half time.

    One potential downside was Phillips picking up his 9th booking of the season for what appeared a nothing challenge just before the end. One more yellow will result in a 2 match suspension which could prove crucial during the remaining games.

    Brilliant performance from all the players and coaches for our first win in a so called ' must win ' match for a very long time.

    Someone posted earlier that bookings are up to 15 now so he should be okay?
