Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Hull City Match Thread

I definitely had a different game on then if Kiko got mom, he made two saves that I remember, decent but expected

 

We’re normally on the same hymn sheet (well in football terms!) but Saw this one a bit differently! Missed the first 35 mins. But what I did see afterwards ... I thought we were absolutely sh*t in possession, gave the ball away time and time again. Terrible first touches, Thought they looked the better side, more composed in possession in the second half and always carried a threat... and Bowen oozed class... although we defended well for the most part. Only difference tonight was we scored two lucky goals, our keeper made two good saves

 

Just got home from the game, well, we had to grind that result out, we were a bit off it tonight and Dull gave us a game, I thought Bamford and Costa were the main culprits , but they and the team have been playing well recently so can't complain, a win is a win, i'll take them all day long

 

Yeah I’m surprised we’re so far apart on this game. They looked stronger the last 25 minutes but the first hour at least was all us. I thought Bowen was very average on tonight’s performance.

Berardi way out in front for MotM for me.
Dallas didn't shine but neither did Bowen which meant Dallas did the required job on him and deserves praise for that

 

You might think so, but don’t underestimate us, we can screw up anything if we really put our mind to it.

 

Berdardi is a bit of a conundrum. We ain’t going to keep him, so he’ll go to a competitor, unless we go up.

Who wants to play against him? He’s capable of producing way above his talent, but also has blue touch paper hanging out of his ass every game?

You just know he and Bremner would have kicked the c*** out of each other in training and laughed about it afterwards.

He’s certainly Leeds, and always will be, think he’s made more of a connection here than anywhere else.

Good luck to him whatever happens next 6 months.

 

Agreed. Outstanding performance from Berardi.

 

Ssssshhhh

 

Lots of unsung heroes tonight, Dallas had Bowen in his pocket. Berardi, bleeds white this guy and as no one has ever told him you can't give more than 100% so he keeps giving 110%.Casilla not just the best championship keeper this season, but one of the best in the country. Alioski, love this guy, you just can't keep him down.

 

You missed a lot of our best stuff, they weren't in the game at all first half, only after the offside goal did we try and force things which opened the game.

 

Poor game but wins a win

thought we just edged then game without any team creating much

Bamfords up in court on a murder charge according to Hull fans...if you watch the clip back he’s looking in opposite direction to keeper who is never getting back to save Alioskis shot anyway

 

I think he'll stay, plays 3 positions so far and always gives 110%. Can fill in in any of the 3 positions he plays, better RB than Ayling in my book.

Why would we want to get rid of a player who's that valuable.

 

The only reason would be that sometimes he can get us in all sorts of problems by being un-swiss.

 

One of Berardi's best performances in a Leeds shirt last night. Was superb.

He is a weird one though. I like the guy, great lad by all accounts too. Effort levels are fantastic but I just don't rate him as a top end Championship player and certainly not a PL player. He has plugged gaps for us well and is a good squad player but I think his time here is done come the end of the season.

Great game last night though! Best I seen him play! Credit where it's due.

 

Only 5 of the players who started against Hull last year started against them last night/ this morning. I for one hadn't realised we had changed the team as much as that.

 

Interesting that Eric. And some of the others have improved dramatically. Harrison Alioski Philips

 

Ok this is going to be kiss of death but for me Kiko is the most improved this year. I didn't rate him and wasn't sure he was better than what we had when he arrived but, excepting a couple of off piste incidents, he is sound and in the last couple of game has contributed just as much to us getting 3 points as any out field player.

 

Having finally got off the fence a few weeks back and declared him not fit for purpose I have clearly inspired him into some good performances.

He’s too slow and not technically good enough for a modern fullback, gets a nose bleed if he passes the half way line. He also gets exposed for pace in a back 3. As centre back, he’s fine as cover... until his next sending off.

That’s how I see it... you guys are suckers for great blocks that you wouldn’t need to make if you got there quicker... all this heart on sleeve stuff
