Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Crystal Palace Match Thread

defending set pieces absolute abysmal 2nd to every ball other than that we have been very good. but its been like that the last 3 seasons we can't win the first ball on any set piece.

 

A set piece goal was always coming fuxake

 

Difference between the two teams, their keeper decent saves looks confident, great positioning. Meslier flaps and positioning questionable and I’m talking in general

 

Always been a threat from set pieces.

Need more in second half. We got this

 

Stupid free kick to give away, they are only dangerous from set pieces

 

They were good first half, so bring us more and extra if possible and we will win this one. Believe..

 

Apparently there's no need to bother marking anyone on set pieces.

Sack the defence. Get a new one.

 

looked like me might have slipped.. guehi reacted quicker.

thought we looked really good for 15-20 minutes, but the longer the half went on the more they came into it. Not dissimilar to the game at their place.

 

A bit of a high boot in my opinion

 

If he’s fit enough get Gnonto on to give e’m something to think about

 

No they won't, we will regroup and go again. 3.1 win to the boys in white.

 

… both sides will think the same.

 

Rewound it, he started to come and dive for it too early

 

another gift to let a team who don't deserve to be level. its criminal we just switch off at every set piece and our defenders get lead in their boots who then can't jump. rather than look for the man look for the feckin ball its the most important thing. kicked right in the nuts again. but it was coming as we were not getting anywhere near them on balls to the box.

 

Just needed to get his body in front of the ball

 

That's what I thought too.

 

but its true what someone said its hide behind the sofa on any corner or free kick as you know there is going to be a shot somewhere. We actually played really well that half but we now have to start all over again. theres goals there for us but theres goals there for Palace thats why both teams are near the bottom because defensively its horrific at times from both sides.

 

We just can't defend.

It will relegate us at this rate.

 

I thought we were excellent until we scored, some of the best football I’ve seen us play but then it was like a switch being pressed.

A graph came up, Palace 1st in converting corners, 46% of their goals from them. In that final few minutes first Firpo then Roca giving away needless free kicks, there is just zero common sense at times.

 

The more I look at it, the more I can’t understand why he tried to dive, like you said, just run out and collect it, take a clattering if you have to.

Commentary team picked up on how strong our bench is compared to Palace, we need to utilise that, Firpo being on a yellow is going to cause problems

 

We had the first 20 min from then it was all Palace.
We need to take a hold of this game as we did in the beginning of the first half
