Excellent result, good solid performance. First goal critical against sides that are only set up for counter/attacking. We controlled the game and only a few minor scares. How un Leeds!
Positives - 3 points, clean sheet, Klich was better tonight, created lots of chances, didn’t miss Rodrigo, top half of the table and Cooper and Struijk are forming a decent partnership. Negatives - I’d have liked to seen Geldhart given 10 minutes, some great chances missed from corners too and Phillips calf injury. I also felt Alioski was again out of his depth at LB This result and Leicester mean we can enjoy the remaining games with a lot more comfort and fear of a defeat. Raphinha easily man of the match tonight and some nice solid performances from the rest.
Well first Leicester and now palace, you know what the say revenge is a dish best served cold, and it's a very very cold night in Leeds.
Bamford had to swap his studs for rugby ones at half time. Said playing under a Bielsa team the first thing he has to do as a striker is defend. Talk of him being called up to the England squad. Very humble in his interview. Asked if he has Raphinha in his dream team he said no but he has himself as captain. Slipped up when he said he was “surprised bigger” teams never went in for Raphinha, he quickly realised that comment wouldn’t go down well and tried to correct himself
6 (six) wins now above fulham in 18th. I guess were safe and now it's time to sit back and enjoy the rest of the season and see how far we can go. Let's appreciate what Marcelo and this squad have done, And as someone said above, Raphinha, what a player! MOT
