Good Morning Everyone Leeds regained pole position comfortably beating the tractor boys in front of almost 30,000 fans at Elland Road last night. A peach of a cross from Hernandez was headed home from Roofe on 22 minutes. Cooper doubled the lead in the second half with a piledriver from 20 yards into the roof of the net! Unfortunately Leeds injury worries continue. Dallas had to replace Berardi on 27 minutes who had a suspected hamstring injury! Does anyone else feel sorry for Pearce? For me, I felt Alioski had an amazing game at wing back. Agree or not? It was Jack Harrison's turn to take flack from the Elland Road keyboard warriors. Social media fans were complaining that Harrison kept going missing! Agree or not?
Morning all... Alioski was better at LB than Dallas, not as good as Douglas and last night he was adequate in that position but... I think it depends on who is in front of him. Last night it was Harrison and you got the feeling Alioski didn’t dare do too much as it was someone not on their game in front of him. When Pearce came on I felt he did better than Alioski in that position but that could be down to the fact he had Alioski in front of him drawing the opposition around. Harrison wasn’t on form, that has a knock on effect for the left side, we know we’re finely balanced and I’d expect to see Pearce starting at LB and Alioski replace Harrison. If Bielsa is feeling really brave I’d like to see Forshaw ahead of Saiz
Morning all, Forshaw is class and is more consistent than Saiz, who although a quality player seems to have become a bit of a poseur lately
Morning all. Ristac said it already. On Harrison, i think he's had one good half game, the rest he's been average at best. No wonder he said he'll see himself playing for Leeds in the premier in a few years time, he's going to get nowhere the City squad and he must know that.
Harrison seems to have ability... nice touch and control but lacks awareness and/or the ability to pick a pass. He also doesn’t have the pace to be an outlet/threat and stretch teams... similar to Alioski. There’s a player in there but we’re only seeing it in glimpses.
I know we can only beat whats in front of us but we still struggled at times to look fluent, slick and get passes to feet. We will have to do much better against the trees and with Grabban doing what he does best (Why didnt we buy him when we had chance) we need to defend well and be creative. Big test this next game! Said it before but Forshaw started life as a creative forward midfielder with an eye for goal. Boro bought him for that role (Orta) but when Karanka left...
Good morning Matt & everyone Harrison was poor again, doesn't look good enough when you consider he is playing in a very attack-minded team, he should be thriving under Bielsa. Truth is we probably have one of own who is a better player in Jack Clarke. Time for Forshaw to come in for Saiz, apart from one pass for the first goal, he provided very little Hernandez made the difference, we missed him so badly Kalvin Phillips was immense once again, someone told me on the other side that KP has only had a couple of decent games this season which is complete utter nonsense. Anyway as I've been touting for a couple of months now - Kalvin Phillips for England please log in to view this image
Good Morning to Matt and co from a sunny Bardsey Well we have reached the top again and lets hope we stay there Last night was very good for us WBA got thrashed 4-1 at home to Derby Forest won but I wouldn't read to much into the result has they got 2 dubious penalties How come when we get loanees they never Bartley apart seem up to much and yet other loanees with other clubs shine I am thinking of Harvey Barnes Mount and Wilson surely we should have tried harder to get those Harrison seems out of his depth Baker plays like he did for Boro although I saw signs against Brentford that he was getting better Finally Beradi is out for a while so Pontus will get back in on Sat thank goodness
What have Leeds Utd and Docs Albion got in common? yes Doc goes top of the fantasy league with Ringo and his 3 teams at the bottom Bielsa and me are like twins
When you look at the amount of shots we had and a lot of corners it makes you wonder why so few goals.
Morning all....Double happy today, a good win last night & return to the top of the table..mrs 10 has finally got the all clear to start driving again after her eye operation, my chauffeuring duties are done, no more f***ing supermarket trips for me....Happy days☺☺☺☺
The team may well pick itself on Saturday leaving the Amigo in charge no choice, its time to get critical and point the finger. Dallas is not a full back, LB or RB in any shape or form, last night he eventually put Pearce on and the lad looked comfortable there, albeit against a very poor Ipswich Town side!! Alioski to play infront of Pearce and ordered to back track and help out when we dont have possession, oh and get some practice in at crossing a ball Alioski. Saiz, its time you were put on the bench, surely Forshaw can be more productive. (to be honest after the spitting incident he would of been gone last season) Philips, i said a few weeks ago that he is doing a job better than Henderson is for Victimpool and England, if we get promotion, the geordie who is trying to get a scouse accent had better watch out. Berardi, not too concerned over his injury, he is a volcano waiting to erupt and some match(s) we shall have 10 players on the park. Harrison, pack his bags and GTF back to Citeh, had one descent game against Preston and that was it, he is what we call excess baggage. Cooper looked good last night, but i stated the other day that he is a L1 player at best and you know where Ipswich are going. There are two positions that we need to strengthen IMO is CB and CF, Roofe is looking more like Gayle every match, a big rough CF for him to feed off would benefit him. 3pts on Saturday and the other results go our way and there may well be a little gap appear at the top, atm our goal difference is worth an extra point.
Couldn't agree more Infidel Watch it though, folk will start mocking & laughing at you for making comments like that
Thanks for the advice 1964white, not a concern pal, i played the game at a good level and understand the game somewhat.
