    <doh> Griezmann? Varane? Plus all the injured players like Kante, Benzema etc that France weren’t able to bring to the tournament?

    A below strength France side beating England is a more apt description of last night’s game.

    The etc being in no small measure: Paul Pogba, Presnel Kimpembe, Mike Maignan, Christopher Nkunku and Lucas Hernandez.

    We should keep klich he is such an asset with his pace and goal scoring. Plus Forshaw for his regular fitness levels must inspire other sicknotes notes to sign for us. Get a grip klich is a has been and Forshaw a total waste of money. Sign him sign another spend spend spend. Keep spending money on younger players but never play them that's the way to do it mr punch.

    Now that the fiasco cup is over ( as far as England are concerned) we can get down to things that really matter.
    Yes your right the fiasco that is Leeds United
    If things don’t change they’ll stay as they are in which case we will remain in the **** in fact looking at our next few matches we’ll need a JCB to get out of it
    Can’t see us getting anything out of our next three games which will put us on projected 32 points for the season
    Time for Conn man Radz Orta and co. to go do one I’m fed up of all the wind and piss that comes out of Leeds 11

    Happy Christmas Everyone
    Apart from the aforementioned

    Southgate’s a nice guy, and he’s helped create an environment where players want to play for England.

    Now… is he tactically astute enough? has he been too defensive minded (until this tournament)? - are his substitutions on the mark? These are all legitimate questions. Saka for Sterling yesterday bemused me for example.

    But let’s be honest Doc. You’d criticise whatever he did, whoever he picks, whoever he subs because he’s ‘woke’. And that’s just a terrible thing for anyone to be.

    yeh I keep hearing how they’ve been decimated… how many of the above are going to significantly improve their team? pogba had his last decent game in the 2018 final.

    I’ve also been hearing about their championship nous and seizing the big moments. It really is utter tosh. A shot from distance through the defenders legs, a header deflecting off a defenders shoulder. I’m sure they practice that every day in training so they can produce it in the big moments. Reality is in any football match you can impact the opportunities created but the proportion of them taken is often in the lap of the gods.

    Our biggest issue yesterday was we didn’t carve out enough clear cut opportunities but same players, same chances on another day, we win that game more often than we lose it. That’s football.

    Most Bookies have us around 4/1 to beat the drop and think we will finish 15th. I would snap any of their hands off and take that right now. I've said my bit on the old guard in previous posts and personally think all should be gone next season. We can carry Coops,Ayling to the end of the season but Klich can't do 90 mins. Dallas has so much catching up to do, can he even catch up to what he was? it's a risk you can take in the Championship but not in the Prem. Forshaw shouldn't even be here.
    On the strikers feel sorry for Bamford as he can't help being injured but we can't sit around and wait and hope like we did last season as we all know how close we were from playing Championship football. We should have already learned from last season's mistakes.
    Rodrigo is a hard one because of his transfer fee we won't get jack Shyte back if he left. He won't be going nowhere till his contract runs out simple as that. to be fair he's hitting the net so it's not the be and end all with him.
    Recruitment is slow and always is with us we want to turn over every stone to get things over the line but to be fair we don't want another JKA situation.
    Hand on heart I think all Jesse's signings have been decent Kristensen,Adams,Aaronson,Sinisterra,Roca,Gnoto are all capable of playing in our first team its now the time to shift some of the remaining shyte around them.
    All the players on loan should be shifted out none of them are doing anything special at lower league and Dan James can't get in the Fulham side. fire sale the lot of them in the summer.
    We living off hope and emotional maybes. "oh we should keep him coz I love him and he deserves to stay for what he has done here even though he's shyte." "he will be a good player !" "he's a player for the future! once we get him back from loan or injury he be like a new signing!" "oh he would be a big loss in the dressing room be a shame to lose him." WTF smell the coffee someone in the dressing room doesn't win you football matches by putting arms around people. "oh I'm sad to see him leave" why? He can't get in the 1st team get a grip I'd be even more sad and well pizzed off if we went down and still had that player at the club.
    yes all good talking points but we need players now not in 3 months a year or 2 years time
    We are giving Bamford a red carpet and being loyal to him and living off hope as a club he will come back fit and strong. If we go down this season into the championship you think he would do the same for us? not a cat in hells chance he be off in a shot like many others.
    This is a Premier League football club and the only important thing to me is Leeds United staying in the Premier League.

    Playing a three man midfield was suicide and so it proved. Should have played phillips in a midfield four.

    You’re off my nice list for Xmas after that senseless outburst. I had a few spare boxes of that rubbish I sent the membership lot that I was gonna share with you 606ers. If you continue to insult me though I’ll be lobbing them in a skip

    As soon as you mentioned pace and Klich in the same sentence, I knew you were being sarcastic.

    Shako is quicker than Klich....

    That doesn’t look good and is why squad depth will be so important going forward.

    He will probably be out for a long time as recovery time is essential.
