Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Tottenham Hotspur

There is a god

 

Excellent team performance. Great to see Koch showing again he can back up for kp, best performance from klich since the start of the season. But can’t pick anyone out really, just good alround performance and well deserved 3 points.

 

Meslier - 8. Didn't have a lot to do but still pulled off two exceptional saves. Distribution was quality. So young.

Ayling - 8. Ball was mainly down the other side of the pitch but held firm and supported Dallas then Harrison down his side.

Llorente - 8. Cool as you like. Brought his deckchair with him.

Struijk - 7. One poor pass. Otherwise a perfect foil to Llorente's style. Should have scored early on.

Alioski - 9. Let Bale out of his pocket just to show him which way the showers were whilst pushing past him and grabbing a clever assist. Worked his socks off. MOM.

Koch - 9. There's your Phillips replacement. Perfect play. Leave him there and push Phillips up a bit with Rodrigo.

Klich - 8. Back to something like his best. His running off the ball is exceptional and was the main reason the others had so much space.

Roberts - 3. After a handful of promising moments earlier in the season he reverted back to the Tyler we know. Losing the ball, shrugging his shoulders and walking back. Days should be numbered. His moments of quality are too few and far in-between what is required.

Harrison - 9. Harrison benefits from Klichs running. Superb. Assist and could have pinched a couple himself. A steal at 10 million.

Dallas 8. Usual. Player of the season. Makes the game look simple.

Bamford - 8. Back in the goals. Workrate better. Hold up play very good.

Subs.

Rodrigo - 7. Well taken goal. Still looks a bit rusty but a good display.

Raphinha - 7. Assist. Workrate. Nothing to dislike about this fella.

Phillips - n/a. Came on to play further forward. A glimpse in to the future?

 

Spurs have some great individual players like Son, Kane and Bale, but as a unit we absolutely overpowered Spur today.

I thought Alioski was great today. He was everywhere. He knew he was the weak point and Spurs would be trying to making a beeline for him. Another assist to his name too. Why stick a cross in the air when you can pass it on the ground.

 

Only downside was Derby staying up.

They will owe Cardiff big time for an 89th min equaliser

 

Good well deserved win, good to see Bielsa celebrating the goals as well, think he loves us more by the day.

 

Can’t find anything to argue with today on those ratings fella

 

Well that’s just showed me, Bielsa again shows some magic

 

Must have been where Jesus went wrong at Easter.

 

And Newcastle but away from my charts have been dragged round a garden centre in 10 degrees of cold

 

And that's without fans

 

****ing broadband went down 20 mins before the end of match. Leading 2.1 ffs I missed the third goal. Only back now, happy as ****e though.

 

Well that was a difficult watch with Bale ripping Alioski apart for 90 minutes, as some on here love to predict.

 

Hope Bielsa does a phone in soon because I want to ask him how to improve people. Was thinking he might be able to help with the wife....

 

Large brown envelope already on its way

 

I do like a sense of humour

 

What a difference from last week, absolutely brilliant display back to what we do best, Koch looked comfortable in kp's role, alioski could have brought on bales golf clubs to practice his putting, Harrison back to his best now just needs to get more consistent, only Roberts was the missing player today lazily meandering about just before he was hauled off.
Spurs defence was crap, how that donkey dier has ever got a cap is beyond belief and but for lloris could have had a couple more....I would give everyone 8 or above and Roberts a 4 surely it is time to give geldhart a go instead, come on bielsabub just 1 game before you go home for a rest and some Argentinian steak

 

That was a magnificent result and performance. Agree that Roberts just doesn’t look like a Bielsa type of player, he keeps picking him so what do I know
Had a table booked in the Chequers at 3, just got back, nicely sozzled, if Carlsberg did Saturday’s
