    Nope, he hugged the touchline for the whole game. Dropped out a bit when Bielsa switched the wingers around.

    And Firpo. That **** **** from Barca? I listened to the commentary from Watfords website and they were saying Sarr is their best player and Firpo handled him better than anyone else has this season.

    Firpo played his best game today imo. Not quite up to the full Bielsaball yet, but he's getting there. Having said that, if we played any other way but Bielsaball, his play would have been described as excellent, I'm sure.

    Harrison brings more to the team and is the better of the two imo.

    I agree, but it's early days yet. If anyone took their time getting up to speed, it was Harrison.

    Harrison or James on the left. Not a bad selection problem to have tbf.

    Yes but we were only playing Watford a team we deamed to be inferior to us. Yet they scored a perfectly good goal.

    and if my uncle wore a dress he’d be my auntie, actually she’d be my auntie or my gender neutral would be Olof, jeez it’s hard to keep up.

    whichever, yes they could have equalised, yes we should have scored more, they didn’t we didn’t, just happy to get a win

    Guessing that it's safe to assume that you didn't go to the match (as we won? <laugh>). Which leaves, at best, tv, where the nice producer person wants you to see their impression of the game on tv - if the cameramen managed to capture it! You never see the whole game on tv - just someone's opinion on what's important. And I saw a whole lot more than that & reported what happened honestly.

    Nope, us Leeds supporters go to Elland Road. Where did you think I'd gone? You were never going to find me at Old Trafford, so why look? :huh::huh::huh:

    Yep you are right bud. I even said that in my post. But what was pleasing though the performance was there the whole 90mins today.
    I'm a believer in showing a performance and we made Watford look like a Championship side today. Yes Watford had a goal disallowed and could of quite easily walked away with a point on another day but their fans would of went home knowing they weren't in that game and deserved nowt from it from the get go still knowing there in for a hard slog of a season. we were so much ahead of that lot today even though we only scored one goal that was more my point.
    Happy day for us ! A win and a good overall performance.

    Their ‘goal’ was correctly ruled out as Cooper was literally hauled to the ground.

    A clear foul, correct decision. Nothing lucky about it whatsoever.

    Yet again Dan James has a nailed on penalty ruled out which would have made it 2-0 and a whole different game

    Raphinha and Llorente 8/10 the rest all deserve 7/10

    And I seriously think that having looked at half time that’s exactly what they did

    James might have made a rod for his own back early on in the game when he ran into their penalty box & dived at waist height between 2 defenders.

    Embarrassingly, he claimed for it. :angry:
