    <applause> Watched on MOTD, so dissapointed in the outcome. Apart from the last ten minutes or so we once again looked a decent side, but i just new we couldn't see the game out when we went 3-2 up, it's a horrible feeling, but i guess being a Leeds fan you get used to it. I think everyone is right when you mention were just a player or two from being a very good mid table plus team.
    To me from what i have seen so far this season, we need a Batty type of player as captain, this is where a no nonsense captain would get the players organised to be able to see out a game when necessary, and stick the boot in & give the our players some good old fashioned verbals when needed.
    I guess what i am trying to say is we might already have the players, they just need organising properly on field, and Cooper i am afraid is not the answer.

    Marschs summer signings all good. Instead of sacking him and expecting someone else to improve our inept defenders, give him a proper January budget to recruit some badly needed new defenders. Cb and lb for a kickoff. He’s operating with at least one hand tied behind his back because of current inept owners

    We are two (good) centre backs away from being a top 10 side.

    That game yesterday has beat me up inside. I have a very short fuse when watching Leeds and my god do we get in a lot of talking points. Defensively let's face we are a mess. Jesse has his style which is suicidal its put's so much pressure on the backline. most clubs danger men are the wingers/Wide men whatever you want to call them these days we give them a free run. It's a team game but I'd hate to be a Leeds United Defender so I'm not going to blame the defence alone but my god we are so open it's frightening at times.
    Their first goal well what can we do it was so wrong in so many ways its shambolic. The game rules are broken there's no consistency in anything anymore. Nobody knows the rules one week a stroke of the hair and hand on the shoulder is a foul the next week you can bundle a keeper into the stand nearly and it's play on. a player can kick a ball away after a foul in the first half and get nothing, yet another player can get booked for it in the 2nd half.
    I guess it's how hard you can shout, or you have to be in the so called "big 6" group of who get their own rules to everyone else. Let's face it if that happened at the other end of the pitch yesterday the ref would have swallowed his whistle in how quick to blow for it as a foul. The thing is we would have accepted it.. it was a foul. if you are not a top 6 team the rules are different. This var team should be stripped of their jobs today but no they will be protected and stood up for.
    I love football but there is so much wrong with it these days nobody wants anything to do in fixing it. it gets talked about then swept under the carpet till the following week or so when something else comes up to take its place.
    I'm not saying we would have won or robbed of 3 points yesterday if it was disallowed but my god do your bloody job correct its schoolboy stuff and people should be ashamed and punished for such pathetic decisions a kid of 5-6 could make.

    I’ve seen quite a few comments saying it evens out, before Rodrigo scored we clearly fouled a Spurs player in the build up, I don’t recall it myself?

    Hate him all we want, Klopp would have been shouting and screaming putting pressure on the ref to review it. Would Klopp have been sent off, probably not, would Jesse probably so..

    Newcastle showing how it’s done. Get in a world class manager and back him. Genuine title contenders

    Agree, but it also helps to have zillions in the bank :(

    No mate, the Spurs players first touch was poor, tumbled over looking for the foul when Adams beat him to it.

    Although having said that, a lot of the Newcastle side yesterday were of seasons past, Howe seems to be bringing out the best in them, (Sound familiar) Difference is Howe wouldn't hesitate to change things, and will have the backing of a rich board if needed.
