It's that coupled with a sudden disability to keep a clean sheet. I am not convinced on Casilla or his decision making when coming off his line.
Disappointed, dejected & baffled on how we could contrive to lose a football match when we are playing a team that has won four games all season, failed to score in their last three games. We comeback twice from a goal down failing to capitalise once again playing ten men by missing chances galore including a penalty & then defending like chumps for the third time gifting the tractor boys a winner. You really couldn't write this scenario with any other top three club Positives Kalvin Phillips immense! Klich's goal Negatives Who was marking Downes for their first goal Where were Dallas or Harrison for the 2nd goal Calamity Jane defending between Casilla & Ayling for the winning goal. Conceded three goals v a team who hadn't scored in three games, shambolic defending Missed four one-on-one chances including a shocking penalty, feeble shooting Failed to beat a team that had only won four matches all season Failed to beat a team with ten men for a third time in a month Where's Roofe's early season form gone ? Is Dallas a LB ? although he was one of our better players What does Forshaw give us ? Klich was dreadful throughout the game apart from his goal & a couple of nice touches Was Casilla on drugs yesterday Pablo looking jaded Pontus/Cooper jittery Harrison is Harrison Clarke struggling since his illness Poor substitutions Pontus walking straight down the tunnel not acknowledging the majority of our fans apart from throwing his shirt into the crowd down the far end. Spat his dummy out again ! Ratings 1 Casilla 5 Ayling 5 Jansson 5 Cooper 6 Dallas 9 Phillips STAR MAN Mr Consistent as ever 5 Hernandez 4 Klich 3 Forshaw 2 Harrison 1 Roofe Subs 4 Clarke
I think the question to be asked is, Why is Jansson getting upset, again. He's a passionate player that obviously loves leeds, so what is, or has happened for Jansson to lose his cool. He certainly disagreed with Bielsa's decision v Villa, I suspect he disagrees with some certain selections too.
How I wish I could find some positivity before the play-offs begin but any sniff of optimism has long evaporated. Just can't see why Bielsa persists with some players and will not introduce more of the U23s. Clarke appears to have lost it, Harrison is ****e, Dallas is mediocre. Casillas is looking more of a liability as each game goes by. He spends far too much time out of his box having picked up a red card a few weeks ago, a lucky yellow card yesterday and a ****ing almighty balls up with Ayling yesterday to gift Dipshit the game. The embarrassing stat of only 1 goal in 112 attempts before this game is shocking. Our attackers cannot score so why the **** did he have Edmonson on the bench and yet only bring on Clarke who is way out of form???? The Bucket Man has got a massive job ahead of him and I really hope he can find some way to wake these ****ers up from their stupor.
Keepers come off their line to narrow angles, making the goal look smaller to the shooter. They also come off their line to get too a ball before the opposition. 3rd goal, I believe Kiko did the right thing coming off his line, and he would've had it if he hadn't collided with Ayling. Ayling should've seen Kiko coming for ball, and heard Kiko calling for it.................question is, did Kiko call for ball.....we may well never know. Look who else is in picture, Phillips, not attempting to get back and actually slows up. Cooper coming across, but not fast enough.
Fair enough if Casillas called for the ball but edge of the box is not where you would expect your keeper to be as a defender.
We've lost more games with Casilla in goal than we did with BPF between the sticks in less games, just sayin'
No one bothers to chase back anymore is the problem with defence, and we take too fooking long to get the ball forward, when we get it, Saiz is one big reason, for the slow play since Xmas, Jack Clark covered it for a short while, but he's now slowed down with the others.
BPF made very few saves, due to a good defence, pre Xmas. Now we have Dallas who has no idea where he is supposed to be playing, worrying thing is, Derby do 90% of their attacking on that side.
I think you're making excuses for Casilla Chesh, the fact is we were top of the league three points clear of Norwich after 29 games then a change of goalkeeper and we are where we are now, some aspects of " experienced"Casillas game is better than "inexperienced BPF's but he scares the **** out of me sometimes with his positioning, their 3rd goal yesterday was a ****ing joke. BPF must have been marshalling his defenders better than Casilla BPF 29 league games lost 6 Kiko 17 league games lost 7 maybe Bielsa should have got a new defender in than a goalie
Casilla has to come out to the half way line, to find his fookin defenders, think Dallas was at the bar when Ipswich scored yesterday.
Casilla came out didn’t get the ball and clattered the defender for a yellow card and the free kick that led to the first goal then came and failed to get the ball for the third. 3 points lost yesterday. Brentford he’s in no mans land and gives maupay the chance to shoot early at 0-0. He does something similar almost every game they just don’t always cost us. He’s a decent shot stopper on the occasions he’s in position to make a stop. If you look at the stats his saves per game are almost identical to bpf but he lets a similar proportion of goals in ( slightly more I think). So he’s not worked harder than bpf And doesn’t make more saves. Tells you, there’s little in it... so who’s the better distributor? Reality is it’s not easy being a keeper for Leeds. We play a high line with fullbacks as wingers leaving us open to the counter so keepers aren’t busy and are then facing a gilt edged chance out of the blue. What the goals conceded column with either keeper actually tells you is that our problems are at the other end of the pitch.
£50,000 a week is an expensive way of finding out why he was always Real Madrid's 3rd choice Will Huffer 1 league game 1 clean sheet weekly wage a fiver
As you mentioned on the Brentford thread when you were defending jansson (that time it was Ayling who was forward)... that’s how we play, how we’ve played all season. It was no different for bpf.
Early season and when we play our best we defend as a team, remember Wigan away when 7 chased back with their 1 attacker. Now we don't even have a left back half the time.
