I would be ashamed if you could. But as in everything else you do, you are an insignificant pathetic nobody and it really bothers you. Others are too polite but I have no problem telling you straight.
Because I can't liaise with insignificant pathetic nobody could you ask him / her for an honest updated appraisal of Jannson v Bellusci
Now that Monk has gone back to 4-2-3-1 and picking arguably the best 11 available; it's amazing how many Leeds fans were calling for this long before the penny dropped.
You said this in another thread. So just in case you missed my answer there, have it again here as you seem keen to repeat your pathetic view. "He's scored 7 in 11 this season, and this is the best you can muster? You call yourself a supporter? IF you had gone to any of the last few matches, you would have seen how many headers he's getting right, but of course, you wouldn't know that, 'cos the commentators & articles haven't mentioned it, nor has the highlights you watch made it clear. AND STILL YOU CRITICISE HIM WITH NO JUSTIFICATION."
Seems that the good form has coincided with said owner butting the **** out at last. Long may that continue
TBF to Cellino, his interference was just as good or bad when we were crap at the start of the season. Why do you think it's changed in the last couple of weeks?
My thoughts on the game.... Overall, it was a great game. Thoroughly enjoyed it & didn't feel we were going to concede at any time. Long time since I've felt like that for a whole match.The back 4 were solid - all 4 of them this time. Midfield 2 were solid too, and the midfield 3 were very, very creative, and defended well too. Wood had his best game ever. If you listen to LeedsLover, he got one header right. If you listen to Mick McCarthy, he had an outstanding game. I know whose opinion I value most. Only downside for me was that it all got very scrappy after an hour or so, as big Mick went to 3 at the back. Worked well for them in as much that we weren't so dominant, and were restricted to the odd chance. The reality is that that's all they got out of the tactical switch, as we never looked like conceding. Thought Monk might have made a tactical switch to get us back on top, but he seemed to be content for us to slug it out. Personally, I'm not happy about this, but I guess he knows better. He's still persisting with no-one on the back post at corners. We're going to get found out on this before long. And even more worrying, he still doesn't put anyone up front for a corner against, so as soon as we clear a ball, it comes sailing back in for them to have another crack. And another. And ... Green - Didn't have a great deal to do, but did it well when the time came. Cacked myself when they got a free kick in the last minute just outside the box - his most vulnerable situation to date this season. Fortunately it was a row Z job *snigger* Ayling - Much improved performance. Can't think of a fault to report this time! Jansson - The boss. End of. One of his tackles resulted in a substitution because of injury. Perfectly fair - no foul awarded. Bartley - Another solid performance. Taylor - Still not back to his best. Crapped out of a couple of tackles again. Running less than 100%. Seems to be avoiding straining or hurting himself. Made Philips look poor by retreating during one attack, meaning Phillips inch-perfect pass looked like it was over-hit (which was pounced upon unfairly by some of the Philips-haters around me). Still a 7+/10 player, but not performing as well as he should be. Phillips - Perhaps his best game for us to date. He was looking as good as he has done in the past for the u23s. The games he's played this year have matured him very quickly. Didn't look like a youngster today. Like Jansson, he fairly injured one of their player, resulting in a substitution. No foul play, just hard, hard tackling. Another Bridcutt in the making. Love it! O'Kane - This lad has settled in so quickly. As a DM, I expected him to be another Bridcutt. I think he could be even better! Time will tell, but he looks like he's been a fixture in our team for yonks. Dallas - Yet another outstanding performance, both in his defensive duties (which he's always been great at), and in attack mode, which he seems to be doing more & more (thankfully). He played particularly well in the first hour, as he & Hernandez doubled up on the left wing. Tactic worked wonderfully - we were all over them. Another full & deserved 90 mins. Hernandez - Another excellent performance, As I mentioned above, doubled up with Dallas on the left & they both caused havoc. I really am starting to warm to him. I watched him defensively - he actually defends from the front & covers a lot of ground, whereas Dallas defends deeper. Hope it continues to work as well as it did today. Sacko - Spells of brilliance, but still a number of poor decisions. Seems to think he has to hit the by-line to get a cross in, and often takes on (& fails to beat) a man too many. He should watch old footage of Beckham. Don't recall Beckham ever hitting the bye-line, but you couldn't fault his deliveries, could you? Hopefully Sacko will learn to get early balls in. And hopefully he won't miss open-goal sitters like he did today. Despite his faults, he's exciting to watch & would deffo have him in the team for the next match. Did tire towards the end, so I wonder of he might be rested on Tuesday. Wood - Best game for Leeds ever. Was doing everything you would want a lone striker to do - and doing it brilliantly. Hit the post with a sizzling shot, as well as scoring with a cracking header. Subs Roofe, Grimes & Mowatt - didn't get a chance to impress. Game was already scrappy by the time they came on. OK performances from them, but nothing special to report.
Morning WJ. I think either he's selling, learned his lesson finally after many years and is trusting his football manager or knows another FL ban is heading his way. Thing is if it's the 2nd of the three I wouldn't care if he remained the owner.
Thank you WJ excellent report as ever perhaps you could take grumpy with you next time and show him how much Dallas puts in for the team?
Beware glorys curse: Got tickets for Barnsley, and an invite to Tuesday nights beamback! Bit of a trek across leeds for the beamback so if we can find the stream I will guve it a miss.
