Match Day Thread Leeds v Hull City

[Mckechnie Orange]

You're allowed to make a additional sub with an injury. He was never putting on a striker tonight.

You have 3 windows to make subs. Half time doesn't count.

You may be thinking of a concussion sub.

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

Lewie is a much improved player.

Maybe that's down to the coaching he's received over the last couple of years.

From a right back and an assistant who was a left back... and to that end and the improvement of JG they have to be applauded..

 

[Nikica Jellyfish]

Tufan was a constant outlet today, took the ball under pressure a number of times and got us higher up the pitch. Pressed relentlessly all game too. Waffle from you

major waffle from the pig headed bozo

Only if it's a concussion. We were out of subs tonight.

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

What did he say

He's worth 30m and wouldn't dream of selling him.

As you would.

 

[PLT]

Honestly you’re going to die on such a foolish hill, I’ve you’ve seen that and defending that decision you’re an absolute clown with a serious rose tinted agenda.

Not sure what decision you're on about but I certainly do have a rose tinted agenda.

 

[Top_Tiger]

For how well we played Leeds coukd have scored 4/5. They missed 3 sitters.

 

[Howdentiger2]

I do think a different manager is needed to take us to the next level. We did play well today but I can’t get how bad we’ve been at home out of my head. I absolutely love watching City but there’s been 7/8+ times at home this season when I’ve been bored senseless. I’ll keep going back to watch it because I love City but are the casual supporters going to keep coming back when they aren’t entertained?

He's come in, moved us forward. But the next step is just a step to far for him ( at this stage in his career ) imo. Hea shown no signs of addressing the issues we've seen up top ever since he came in, he doesn't seem to even trust his own signings to do it now. He's quite obviously a nice guy and loves the club. But I fear he's just swallowed every single coaching manual he can find and runs of that, he seems to lack instincts and belief in what you can see with your own eyes.... If he can't get data on it and and analyse the hell out of it then he's not interested. All the best in the game ( both players and managers ) he that natural ability to just make things happen/just do it. LR seems to lack that.

Over coaching is a term I'm hearing about him more and more

 

[thetiger1966]

i love rosie
i really do
id love to have a chat with him

its just when you have an owner like acun, you need to make the most of it
we need a new man in

 

[Jim the Tiger]

Maybe he’s one of the disgruntled players who spoke to Tan. My mate didn’t say names but just said some players had gone over Rosenior’s head to Tan about the current state of things, training methods etc.

It happened at Derby too. You can tell he is an arrogant **** just listening to his interviews so it should be no surprise the players don't rate him either. They know they get blamed for results when it's him setting them up to fail.

 

[balkan tiger]

I thought we got Billy Sharp for games like tonights where he could come on for the last 20 minutes or so, OK we had to make 2 substitutions for injuries but why not bring on a striker when going for it.

 

[PLT]

Would like to know what Leeds paid for Summerville. Same age as Jaden, though 2 inches shorter so some of our fans might not want him, he has always impressed me when I have seen him. Philogene would not have skinned our defence like Summerville did to get that penalty.

They bought him in the PL so a lot I imagine. You're right though, he did what we don't, and you'd think the likes of Philogene were capable of similar.

 

[HulltoHellandback]

Looked at a glance like quite an attacking lineup, but once again we came up short in that area. Whatever formation he tries, the way he asks us to play consistently let's us down

nah this i absolutely disagree with
any manager at this level of football is arrogant, if you dont beleive in yourself, you dont make it

rosie is inexperienced, but lets not insult him and say ridiculous things

to be a championship manager is insane, you know what you are talking about
but every decision matters, its tough

 

[Kalman]

Baffled to see people blaming Allsop for going up for a corner, and the decision to take Tufan off. Rosenior gave Allsop the green light to go up, so if you really want to criticise that decision blame LR, not Allsop. People are obsessed with everything being Allsop's fault to a cartoonish degree.

Similarly cartoonish is this Tufan thing. Once again he's made no impact at all in our attack, and yet somehow he's everyone's favourite performer once again. He set the tone in the first minute or so when Morton played him in behind and he embarrassed himself hoping to go down and having absolutely no idea what else to do when Meslier didn't commit, and just watched it trickle out in the end. For his wage and supposed talent, I'd rather like to see him do something meaningful. Yes he ran, lots of players do. None get the leeway to achieve so little and get so much praise for it as Tufan does.

As others have said, it was the same old stuff really. Yes we played well and dominated large spells, as I think a lot of people thought we might do based on other recent performances against similar sides, and didn't deserve to lose at all never mind by 2, but that's the consistent theme of our season. Games we should draw we lose, games we should win we draw, and games we should win by 5 we win by one. Just across the board, whatever the performance, we underachieve in attack while the opposition finds the goals they need at the crucial times. We're a promising team, but to borrow a Roseniorism we need to learn quickly how to turn performances into results.

Utter ****e form you as per. Funny how you seem to think City fans have to have a boogy man to be angry at but your lack of self-awareness to realise your boogy man who you constantly denigrate is Tufan.

Tufan is a box-to-box midfielder who has been shoehorned up front as a false #9, played as a #10, a right-winger and pretty much every other position more than his preferred position without complaint. What he did well tonight was provide an outlet, use his physicality in a team of weakling midgets to hold up the ball and win battles with a physical Leeds team, play nice passes and link up with the deeper midfielders to set up attacks and press relentlessly. That was all evident when we went off and Leeds had more of the ball and more space to attack us.

 

[Jim the Tiger]

Only if it's a concussion. We were out of subs tonight.

Coyle could have stood on the side line and then walked back on until the ball went out of play.

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

I thought we got Billy Sharp for games like tonights where he could come on for the last 20 minutes or so, OK we had to make 2 substitutions for injuries but why not bring on a striker when going for it.

Chief scout reckoned he was brought in to supplement Delap.

Then we lost Delap.

No effective replacement no 9 has been the big problem. Tufan is the closest thing for someone we can play off and provide that structure.

bingo, don’t even engage it’s borderline insanity at this point, arguing with a monkey throwing **** at a wall.

i disagree this time
tufan for me this game, was not what you want from a top championship player, and it sums his career up
he has great technical ability, but he lacks something else
