    Ref was a homer? Will he be pulled up for that? The way he talks, you’d think they had 29 clear cut chances, I can remember 1 from open play and a free kick Patto saved (where I thought the lad dived!). Bad loser!

    Thought we controlled their attacking threat fantastically well. Created the best 4 or 5 opportunities of the game too! He’s talking ****e.

    Also telling his player to go down to get a man sent off? What a manager!

    Someone needs to teach them some new songs

    "We are Leeds" for about 50 mins, the a single rendition of "shall we sing a song for you"

    Must have been in a time warp at that point as I can't recall any altercation with Clarke

    Just the usual salty rubbish from managers who think they and their club are better/bigger than us. They see it as an afront to the Gods of football that anyone should outplay them

    Getting Brendan Rodgers vibes from this ****

    He did tug his shirt, Sky are livid that Summerville didn’t go down and get him sent off to give them the drama they crave.

    Honestly, in the cold light of day that performance was even better, to get these young lads to put in such a solid defensive performance whilst utilising our pace and skill on the break, it really was close to perfect. I have been a huge fan of Mowbrays style and was gutted when he got the boot, but even he never switched the game plan in such a way.

    Can't believe that interview - was he facing the other way, watching one of the other games on the red button because it doesn't sound like the game I saw - you think we had spent every minute scrambling balls away - they had one half decent freekick and that at the end when Hume cleared.

    What was everybody's take on the 09 pen - was it - he didn't seem to kick up a fuss (not a dig at the ref just wondering if anyone had a clear sight of it)

    Aye and fair do's to Dodds.
    I was wary after the last time he took charge but credit where credits due and glad he's still here :)

    Noticed that some Leeds fans saying Clarke should have been sent off when Summerville was through, personally thought the contact was minimal, not enough for him to hit the deck and ref would have waived it off if he chose to go down, same way O'Nien being fouled in the box wasn't enough to win a pen even though there was some contact.

    I think the officials need a mention. Can't recall any howlers and generally got everything right.

    Another one to mention was Seelt's battle with Summerville. Seelt came through the PSV system and Summerville the Feyenoord one, they probably played junior football against each other and Seelt did seem to have his number.

    Can’t remember the last time I saw a game plan being implemented the way we did last night absolutely brilliant,said to my son at halftime hope we don’t get mentally or physically tired for the second half,but instead I thought we got stronger.Watched the replay when we got home last night but to really appreciate the shape,system and application of our game plan you probably would have to be in the flesh to fully appreciate it, and let’s not forget we had to reshuffle when seelt went off but still looked solid
    As for Farke “parking the bus” what a load of s***e, you don’t create the most clear cut chances when doing that!!, think he was bitter because he was out thought and owned by Dodds
    Great night
