    genuinely, these sides come to play and attack and commit players forward … we’re good at harassing them causing errors and breaking quickly.

    we struggle breaking down sides that park the bus and hit us on the counter

    or it may be a complete coincidence <laugh>

    Yeah, they don't play scared against us. They think they are on another level and they are taken by surprise when we press the living daylights out of them. It allows us to exploit the spaces they leave as they try and dominate us.

    One other thing that is huge is that we played Arsenal and Liverpool after they had to travel midweek for European matches. That takes a huge toll on a team.

    Against the smaller teams we've been incredibly unlucky as they tend to score first with their only shot of the game and then sit back and spoil the game. We then look devoid of ideas and everyone thinks we are **** when in reality we are a counter pressing team. We should have many more points on the board.

    Hopefully this swings the season round for us and we start putting a few chances away while the opposition miss a few.

    I thought he would be key tonight. I thought us countering with him up against Alexander Arnold would be a big positive for us but in fact Alexander Arnold pushed him back on to Struijks toes.

    He came in to the game 2nd half because that **** **** Coach Marsch switched him and Harrison as Harrison is a better defender. It worked well, Alexander Arnold didn't have as much joy 2nd half with Harrison marking him and Jimmy had a great half running inside channels. Game winning switch.

    Anyway, Summerville. I saw him play the most dominant game I've seen in the 21's against Southampton. In those 90 minutes it was clear that if he gets his confidence in the PL that he could be our best player. And I'm a sucker for pace.

    What we are trying to say Olof is that we will lose at home to Bournemouth next week.

    It's OK mate. Have a seat, pour yourself a drink and let's have a chat.

    Strange though under Marcella we were the opposite. Couldn’t handle the top teams at all

    We beat cites and should have beaten the scousers until that same ref gave them two pens but I get your point after those games the top teams gave us a good going over when they sussed us out

    Plus against city having ten men worked in our favour. We went defensive and I think Marcello said afterwards it was the players idea

    If you take the initial letter of their names and rearrange you get "Gasmark" ?

    They are a bit Jekyll and Hyde at the moment, it doesn't help that they are coached by Frankenstein though.

    :emoticon-0137-clapp Just finished watching MOTD, hands up i didn't see that coming at all, what a result, so impressed with the short clips of Gnonto, hope he starts next game, meslier performance of the season, as it was from the whole team, only downside i could see was Coopers early calamity which almost gifted them a goal, and Bamford living up to his Barndoor nickname. But wow gonna enjoy the rest of the weekend.
    <applause>WELL DONE LEEDS <applause>

    Good guess but no. They were all signed by the same person, which is remarkable when you think there are people on here that think he hasn’t a clue.
