Match Day Thread Leeds United v Eintracht Frankfurt

I don't like him Jock, they could play him anywhere IMO and he'd still be ****e. If I'm proved wrong then I'll say I was wrong. Only time will tell. Evening by the way...

 

Well said Shaks

 

Evening Elland...

I find it hard to believe that Leeds fans have gone all the way to Austria with the intention to fight. We're not that bad, are we? #LUFC

   That's been on the cards from the moment the police rounded them up earlier. Things seem to be under control now.

   Riot police waded into Frankfurt fans who've spilled into a field and are now outside the ground. Couple of arrests.

Typical German supporters........ I saw beer going flying spilled or thrown I'd have been pissed off as well...

 

If you saw beer spilled, you'd burst into tears!

 

you better believe it........

 

I do hope Rosler isn't going to be like previous coaches and managers square pegs in round holes.

 

Until we sign players for every position and allow him the option of choosing from a variety of different formations, I don't think he's got a hell of a lot of choice.

 

Berardi RB or Coyle if need be Byram. Taylor LB or Cooper if need be, I hate seeing players shuffled around like this, instead of having one weaker area you have two.

 

The Yorkshire Post have reported that a group of Frankfurt supporters were held outside the 2000-capacity Sportzentrum in Eugendorf before the match but were allowed to enter at kick-off.

The newspaper quoted Neil Slinn, a Leeds fan at the match, as saying: “A few of us went over to applaud the Frankfurt fans.

"I was going to shake their hands. Then their ultras jumped over the (advertising) boards and started attacking us. We tried to run away but they were too quick.

"Some were wearing balaclavas and we were outnumbered.”

 

Probably got his arse kicked as that was the only thing facing the Germans.

 

Stacks of time to catch up to Morison, Morison is 31, the Duke is 23.

I'd say the Duke is well on track to eclipse Moro's dismal record.

 

Did they find him? bet he run off with the germans hiding his red face.

 

Except he has 35 goals in his career to date and is 8 years younger

 

In fairness, this seems like he was experimenting with a few positions, its only a friendly and Frankfurt finished 9th in the Bundesliga last season. Not much to worry about imo.

And as for the Duke, didn't see him play as much as everyone else did but I don't mind him. He's still quite young, shown he knows where the net is, quite pacey and actually reasonably quick feet especially for this level. He has his place in the squad imo. I just don't think he is the type of striker you would assume he is by looking at him (you'd expect him to be quite strong and good in the air but he just isn't). He can't play a lone role but paired with someone upfront he'd do well.

 

You are correct Josh - If you count his goals in the Italian 6th tier - in which case I will let you have that one. But I will also add the 43 goals Morison scored for Bishop Stortford which is a similar level - So now Doukara is 197 goals behind Morison
