Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Real Sociedad

Watched the game on LUTV (£3.99 ya tight feckers) and it was great to see our younger players looking really good. Don't think any of them would let the team down if called upon in the coming weeks.

 

Just back and having a wee warmer. Leo came on and was not a bad fit at left back. Pascal moved to centre back and looked the part. Joseph has pace and looks the part defo one to keep. Drameh did not impress me and looked to be too slight of build for the prem. Grenwood put himself about and i would like to see more of him. Gyabi now what a revelation he has improved no end. Gelhardt can play but he lacks the pace and i think he may be loaned out or sold next season as Joseph looked far better. Robles likes to push the team high up the pitch. Klich looked to be enjoying himself no end and has his engine going again. Ayling has gone i am afraid and so has cooper. Time has caught up with them. They will play a part this season but time to move on. Rasmus is still learning so let's see how he does second half of season.
Willy gnonto is a stand out player and such a happy character.You can see he wants to play and is happy at Leeds. Going to be a top player is willy.

 

Let’s see what wakey says - then we’ll have some definitive ratings, instead of these amateur hacks.

 

I went and yes the younger ones did well

 

Damn if he didn’t beat me to it !

 

As friendlies go it was not one. Some really mean tackles went in from both sides. The real coach was fuming at times at Leeds.

 

No one likes us we don’t care

 

Not a bad tackle on the pitch invader either. Probably grateful of something to do on such a cold night.

 

I think joffy needs to play as a attacking mid or secondary striker. He does not have the pace or knowhow to lead the line.

 

We saw someone being brought round from east stand near the cheese wedge. He looked a bit wobbly.

 

To be fair wakey some of us have been highlighting Joffy's lack of pace ever since he made his debut

 

Oh and Charlie Cresswell ain't the quickest either

 

Better not play him on the wing then.

 

Or full back.

That said, the lump who plays centre half for England is probably slower, so maybe it's not that big of a deal.

 

Wouldn’t be a great lot to use as a comparison in fairness

 

yes I did didn’t I.

we’ve gone from a competition on who spotted his potential first… to who decided he might not make it first

build em up, knock ‘em down

so.. could he still cut the mustard as a mark hughes, teddy sheringham type… or will he not have the physicality?

 

Sheringham was a class act

 

Joffy will make it...

Just don't where and don't know when.

 

oh he’s a talented lad and only 20… as you imply, I’ve never been totally convinced he suits 1 up top in a high pressing team

But I’ve been wrong before - often several times before breakfast
