    Aaronsons best game for a while. Sinisterra looks the business but got tired 2nd half. Adams and Roca are superb and I thought the back 4 were excellent. I don’t think Harrison is as effective in the middle.

    To do that were gonna need a striker, for i'm afraid we are gonna see plenty of performances like that this season, but will only draw or lose.

    Arsenal fan here.

    I haven’t watched you play much this season, but honestly, you are the first team to comprehensively outplay us over a full 90 minute game this season. We certainly got away with one there, as I didn’t think we deserved 1 point, let alone all 3.

    However, when you don’t take your chances, gift us a goal and miss a penalty, ultimately, you shoot yourselves in the feet.

    Saliba’s had an excellent season on the whole, but this was by far his worst performance. And I think a lot of that is due to how aggressive you were and how sharp you were at closing the passing lanes and not letting us break the lines. You also dominated the Xhaka-Partey midfield axis which has served us so well this season.

    On the whole, we got away with one. If you can somehow start to find your goalscoring boots, you can still have a successful season. May need to be active in January if these issues in front of goal persist…

    Good luck for the remainder of the campaign <ok>

    We had 16 shots but only 4 on target. Missing a penalty at this level is unforgiveable, I had a terrible feeling he was going to blow it, it's not the first or even second pen he's missed for us. He should never be allowed take one again. As he walked up to take it I was saying to myself, just kick it down the middle. Did he? Did he f*ck.

    from what i have seen today we are not that bad a team.our midfield has improved since last season .we just needed one goal against the league leaders honestly .
    bamford is just a championship player and we need to sign better.rodrigo for an international makes some poor touches and just frustrates me to hell and back.would perkins have put that penalty away ?.gelhardt must have had enough playing a bit part .if we sign a striker in january then he joffy will be off.i can see rodrigo taking his ball home too.leeds can not afford 3 strikers wages and a new striker.
    i thought summerville was some kind of wonderkid but he is not going to make a prem player so he will be sold too.

    Good post mate
    it seems everyone and their dog knows how urgently we need a striker, all that is apart from the Leeds hierarchy it seems.
    But surely now, even with them the penny must have droped & will take appropriate action in January, it better do or we will once again find ourselves in a similar position to last year.
    It's heart breaking as we have a core of a really good side.

    Well I’m stumped for words, should have had at least a draw just proves we need that someone who knows where the back of the net is.
    Exciting game to watch(good stream Ell thanks)
    Yours sincerely

    I think the yellow was for his reaction after the push by Bamford.

    I've been saying that since we had Neketiah on loan with iu but certain people told me to shut up cos I was stupid. We need a proven international European or Brazilian striker
