Leeds (H) Post-Match Thread

Ted Lasso giving his post match interview 😂

Loving the Barnes & Iheanacho combination. If Barnes had been fit during Kel’s purple patch second half of last season they would have been unstoppable.

Kasper immense. Other than that scrappy everywhere.

 

Thought it was stupid to keep Tyler Roberts on. It really affected the last 10 minutes as it felt to me many players around him weren't going in 100%.

 

I love Lookman. Ball sticks to his feet. Just need to teach him how to shoot.

really really poor decision by the club, most likely did more damage, also interferred with their own game. Just stupid and dangerous IMO

Tielemans is world class...he just cannot be bothered at the moment, or hes hiding an injury.

He's not world class, has never been world class, and will never be world class , he's far too slow and gets caught napping to often , awful today.

[Royston.]

That was a tough game to watch. 

3 points/clean sheet/back to back league wins

 

I'm happy

[FosseSpark]

Brentford, Palace, Villa, Everton, Southampton left at home with winnable games against Newcastle, Spurs, Man Utd, Watford and a tough one v Arsenal.

None of City, Liverpool Chelsea, Wolves or West Ham in the top 6 to play

 

If we can get fofana, Justin, Ricardo, castagne back in the squad and Evans at some point then we could finish the season like a train....

Win 50% of our final 13 and we will be top 8  go on a silly run of 6 or 7 on the trot and who knows.

[Guest SO1]

Clean sheet and we scrapped a win. Love to watch us fight.

[GeorgeTheFox]

No Vestergaard, all pizza party 

[Aus Fox]

Ted Lasso doing Ted Lasso things, team talks on the pitch, thumbing the chest, talking about the positives and the plays - I bloody hope he takes them down.

I definitely prefer Albrighton at right back rather than as a winger these days. 

Probably his best position now

He’s a world class passer of the ball, his vision and pass accuracy is off the chart but his mobility lets him down badly. So I agree - overall he’s not world class. Looked like he was carrying a fridge today!

[Vacamion]

 

Jesse Marsch just loves the word "Clarity", doesn't he?

He got into a few good positions including twice for tap ins but no one passes to him.

[Manini]

Go **** yourself Jesse James. Brendan’s tricky blues showing dirty Leeds how it’s done. Nice week at work for me 🍻

He absolutely is not a world class passer of the ball.

Saying he's a world class passer of the ball puts him in the same bracket as De Bruyne where he is obviously not close to being at that level.

He's a very good player, but Leicester fans really need to stop this "world class" nonsense with Tielemans, he is nowhere near the level of De Bruyne, Salah, Mbappe or other genuine world class players.

Ironically that game will do more for our confidence than winning at a breeze say 3:1.

We needed to be able to prove to ourselves that we can dig in and grind a result out, players will be buzzing especially the 2 CBs

My thoughts:

 

Youri looks physically drained

We are a better side when Madders plays

Kel always gives us something 

Kasper superb

KDH and Barnes are the future 

What a servant Marc’s been

Clean sheet !!

Cags playing well and Dan does a job 

Great to see Mendy on the pitch

How the fook did we win that? 😂

Don’t care. We lost or drew so many games when we should have won. We are still trying to catch up in that department.

[MPH]

Some might have argued we were lucky to win today but then again, I think Wolves were lucky to win last week. That’s football.

 

 

the team that deserves to win is the team that gets the ball in the back of the net the most, surely?

Individual quality trumps team performance, as it sometimes does.  Barnes was excellent and if anyone deserved a goal for us it was certainly him.

 

Marsch is a very good manager and that was a very spirited performance - Leeds will be fine under him.

.....couldn't believe he did not bring on Bamford!!!

They fell short around the box with decisions and execution, they needed a calm and awareness around that area, he was either not capable to come on or Marsch got it wrong. Would like him to come here, squad depth needs players like him.

[Larry_LCFC]

Glad we got the 3 points but lets not pretend that wasn't a pretty pathetic performance. A remotely decent team would have properly done us over. 

Glad to see Soy finally seems to be finding some form.

[FoxFossil]

New signing Mendy looked tidy, and can actually pass the ball. Who'd have thought it.

[Buggsteam]

Great Win 

[Dandy king]

So nice to see a 1-0 win!  Scrappy game but we win because we keep a clean sheet, not because we have to score 3 or 4. 

 

Kasper take a bow, kdh great and Barnes goal well taken. Subs helped, argument to say they should have started tho. 

 

Can actually watch match of the day tonight !

Yeah. And if they can connect well with Lookman, the three of them would be awesome.  A few times this game I thought Barnes could have squared it to Lookman on the other side for easy tap ins but Barnes didn’t and Lookman looked dejected.

Goals win you games and goal contributions add to that. Kelechi gives you both of those, and it’s criminally understated the lack of minutes he’s got this season.

 

We were at our best last season when him and Vardy were starting, hopefully now Vards is back, he begins playing more.
