Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v Wolves Match Thread

I’d rolled my sleeves up and was ready to write something incredibly profound but here it is, my match report

 

Olof rolling his sleeves up too but probably a different reason

 

Still got one more scrap in him the old dog

 

Evening girls.

Sorry but just a little bit worse for wear at the moment so please take everything said as the gospel truth because it's clearly from the heart.

10 out of 10 for all the players.

Except for Struijk and Llorente who both get 11 for playing out of position and doing bloody damn well.

Not sure if we deserved the win but we definitely deserved something from the game and it shows if you hang on in there then the chances will come. Guess we're going to have to get used to being under the cosh at times but for all Wolves pressure Meslier had very little to do second half.

Jesse is now the new messiah as he worked the oracle from the bench and actually improved us whereas the last messiah usually did not.

Great day apart from getting gravy down my shirt.

 

thanks for that mate nice read.I hope the gravy stain wasn't a rear one you know how it shows up on white

 

Ok so who has altered my post? Come on own up you pirrock.

 

Wine gravy was it?

 

Jambrusco superiore

 

Oh I didn't know vote rigging had been renamed to diversity, I just can't keep up with all this modern terminology.

 

Maybe mate but is it enough for him. He wants to play regular to keep his World Cup place, I guess time will tell. It's a hard one to call will he be happy with cameo roles.

 

Well said.

Such a relief seeing a balanced squad, who could pass the ball well, with guile and flair. Rodrigo looked a new player, though only time will tell. Kristensen started badly, but made amends that that awesome sliding taking.

The substitutions Marsch made so much sense, and were actually players who could influence our game.

 

I can't watch any match highlights over here in Greece. But i can watch videos on twitter. So my question is?

 

Itwrs

wont see many better tackles in penalty area this season

 

It's ok i found one i could watch via leeds you tube.

 

good i'm pleased you didn't get trampled in the stamped to help you mate, would have been there for you but just seen your sorted

 

And cups, and self identifying eggcups. All are welcome in Visions diversity paradise

A shaky opening ten minutes, but we overcome going a goal down by playing some fine football, with shots & opportunities peppering the Wolves backline, it only took us twenty minutes to find an equaliser with the lively Rodrigo firing in at the near post. Leeds should have gone in at half-time with a lead had we'd been more clinical in front of goal.

Our fans sang "where the fook is VAR" after Rasmus was taken out by Sa, nothing relating to this incident on the big screen.

Unsure what our players had in the tea at the interval as we were shocking after the break allowing Wolves to retain possession in loads of space for that period, we couldn't win the second ball & when we got the ball we gave it away cheaply. We barely made it into their half

Cue Mateusz Klich giving us some order to our play. Our Polish star picked-up the ball & threads a pass to Bamford who crosses the ball perfectly into a dangerous area with a Wolves defender pursued by Aaronson scrambling the ball into his own net, we all thought Brendon had scored his debut Leeds goal, he certainly deserved a goal in his glittering first start in a Premier League game, he reminds me of Strachan. Paddy was unlucky not to give us a 3-1 cushion with a fine header superbly saved by Sa.

Meslier was equal to the Wolves keeper making some fine saves throughout the game.

As expected, there is a downside to this current Wolves side

Wolves players should get equity cards. Disgraceful play-acting and time-wasting when ahead and drawing. Ref didn't have the balls to intervene. Different story when Leeds went ahead surprisingly!

My main concern, worryingly we still look shaky at the back.

 

We acquired the majority of our points from teams outside the top seven last season, with many draws as was the case with Wolves, yesterday we bettered that result, more victories against the Saints, Brentford, Palace, Leicester, Villa, Brighton, etc & we could conceivably finish between 9th & 12th.

Everton are at Villa with Palace at Liverpool next weekend

So three of our competitors could be on nil points after their first two games.

Three points for Leeds yesterday was so important imo!
