    That's the difference between rags and riches.

    The fact we've loaned out both Llorente & Cresswell is baffling in the extreme.

    Not really convinced by today's performance as the number of quality chances conceded was still very high.

    The shut we’ve witnessed over the last weeks was a lot better today and against a worldly team. Clutching at straws yes but ….

    Just checked the stats and City had 7 high quality chances which they didn't score from with obviously the penalty being rated the highest probability. It's therefore likely they just had an off day in front of goal and that's making us look better.

    That’s all true but at least we played a second half. I can’t remember last time we did that

    Think we won it 1-0 as well <ok>

    That said if the penalty goes in then we could have shipped a couple more before the end.

    True but I’ve watched a lot of city games. In most games that they’ve won by a narrow margin they’ve missed bags of chances. That’s how far ahead they are. They murdered arsenal after all and it was more one sided than ours today

    Why would we have conceded more?

    Well irrespective of everyone’s views on our striker situation, the whole media from Shearer and Lineker to Sherwood have all said the same, Bamford was shyt. Cant hold the ball up, must do a lot better, out of position, gives his teammates no chance…….. The same pundits all gave Rodrigo MoM for his energy levels when he was playing behind Bamford and when he replaced Bamford his touch, skill and great goal. This is our best striker and should be starting as he now has 12 league goals and 14 for the season. Bamford has 3 or 4 but Bamford really hasn’t contributed much yet again for the whole season. Maybe time Sam went 4-4-2 and Gnonto or Summerville up with him, even Greenwood

    We all know he’s shyte Doc, but I too listened to the motd crew confirm it. Great to know, due to yet another idiotic contract, he’s ours for another four years

    The previous evidence suggests so.

    At 3-0 down heads drop and we then concede more goals.

    Have you been living in a cave the last few weeks ? <laugh>

    Pretty sure it's just 3 more seasons after this one.

    Hope that cheers you up <ok>

    Much better thanks. I’d read he’d signed a new one at 70k a week in 2022. Alls good so. On a plus side our supporters club are celebrating 40 years of travel to Leeds next Friday night in Galway. Legends Gilesy and Reaney are attending so looking forward to a great night

    Fantastic and hope you all have a great night <ok>

    How does the membership work exactly and it's brilliant that you have such an active group who attend matches all the time. Also what about the next generation, is it all sons & daughters etc or do you just get crazy idiots who just decide they'll follow Leeds for some random reason ?

    There is no membership Jammy. Lots of fathers and sons daughters etc. I’ll have daughter and grandson on his first trip in September. The Facebook page has 8000 members, some from the uk. Bout 150 who actually regularly travel. Brilliant crew. Chesh and wakey and Dave’s have met a fair few. Match day is so much more than just the game when you’ve a great crew to spend your weekend with. Also have a few crazy lads too. Very important

    ‘DID ANYONE SEE HIM?’: TIM SHERWOOD SLAMS PATRICK BAMFORD AFTER LEEDS DEFEAT TO MAN CITY

    Bamford the new Tyler Roberts?

    Whether he's playing for the shirt or a move away like Raphinha last season the one guy who's performing like a top player is Rodrigo. Put simply that stupid decision to bring him on in the FA Cup tie at Accrington has probably cost us our PL place.

    Now with 3 games left he has to play every minute available but not to run himself into the ground as a lone centre forward. Big Sam has to come up with a system where we get him on the ball in those dangerous last third areas and it's no good if he's knackered from chasing his tail all afternoon.

    Over to you Samuel Allarderci.
