Chesh, if that is the consensus, then I need to: 1) Get more sleep before games I watch, or 2) Not watch so early in the day, or 3) Get a clue about what is going on, or 4) All of the above! I am not a doom and gllom fan, at least I don't think so, but I did not see what you seemed to see. They stroked teh ball around, we hoofed it, bar 2 or 3 decent moves with at most 3 or 4 passes. Both teams were dire and deserve to finish somewhere between 9th and 14th if they play this way each game.
As most of us predicted, we don't have decent wingers so our prolific front 2 got no service. Sorry but Jimmy Kebe is not doing it and Stewart is almost as bad. If our 4 in midfield had held the ball and used it better we were bound to score goals. Murphy did ok, but Austin isn't creative enough and gives the ball away constantly. he's great at getting back and cleaning up but we need more in there. So 2 of Brians recent signings are not cutting it. A lot of positives today though and if Murphy could get a higher % of his passes away it would be great. Defence was pretty good but still sick of Lees hoofing the ball to nobody. Mowatt did nothing when he came on compared to Murphy. Butland wasn't needed as much this week which was good simply because our midfield pressed more, but we need more from them
"our midfield pressed more, but we need more from them " Not what I saw. I saw their midfield given loads of space! Stewart has done more than Kebe in each of the last 3 or 4 games for me. Neither has done much though. We lack composure on the ball, don't close down, midfield is too flat with defence when not in possession, so give too much space and time to opponents. Austin and Kebe should have been off after 55 or 60 minutes and Mowatt/Byram and Brown should have been on. https://audioboo.fm/boos/1959016-leeds-united-mcdermott-post-match-reaction "Change things off the bench?!?!" Give it a go sometime, Brian! I like the bloke and think he is a good manager, but his subs have been poor for a number of games now
We had most possession but couldn't break you down whereas you had the edge with the clear-cut chances. Overall I think a point a piece was a fair result. Unfortunately not much help to either side. We're out of the Auto running now and must concentrate on getting Austin back for the Playoffs (if we make them). Can you lads put a run together and be in with a Playoff shout by the end of April?
That's mentioned a lot and it just ain't true mate. A lot of our players are well overrated. Most of them would struggle in the PL. They're mainly journeymen. Leicester's squad is by far the best.
Telly mate. First half wasn't bad but the second was pretty poor. Your Italian owner looked more interested in showing off his clothes when he was on the big screen than anything else! I hope it works out for you but our experience of Italian owners was disastrous. They were as crooked as sin. Hopefully your boy will be a good 'un.
Preferred to watch the game on TV at the office rather than at home on an internet stream. Got loads to do, so best get on with it.
On paper you are,you may not be playing it but the team you have and probably on 3x the money of any other squad.Poor management,overpaid lazy Twats,whatever the reason I still think you on paper have the best squad.
I know where you're coming from alright but I still think that these players are over-hyped. Take them out and put them in other teams around the Country and I'd say they'd flop there aswell. The money they're on is a disgrace. Very poor Club management. You've been down that road yourselves a decade or so ago. There's nothing worse than watching overpaid mercenaries strolling around and looking like they don't give a sh*t. So can you lads find some form from somewhere and get into the mix?
Fair effort ll round by our lot today. On the face of it, Kebe didn't do much. But look a bit closer and you see that he put in a shift and did okay. Stewart had plenty of opportunities out wide, but didn't do enough. Draw was a fair result, but both Kebe and Stewart will have to do much more next week. Wickham & Ross look a very good partnership for the rest of the season
Agree that is your problem,and as for us if we had had Conner Wickham and Butland all season I think we would be up there but maybe too late for us this season but I haven't given up hope yet.
Just finished watching it on Sky Plus - Felt QPR were awful first half, not as bad as Kebe though. Why the manager perseveres with him I can only wonder.
