Leeds post match thread - 0-1 loss

[woznotwos]

Leeds shaded that on the night. Some nice passages of play but not much threat on goal. Nevermind. Up the City. 

[Guest Kopfkino]

A 0-0 game that where theyve just got the luck of the bounce. They were the better team though and for me the loss is entirely on Maresca. 

 

Southampton showed how to play against these. Just skip the press and we had the tools to do it, push Casadei on and bring Mavididi narrow. Gave them the impetus in the first 2 minutes and we could have been there all week and not scored.

 

Still some sight seeing a team celebrate as if they’ve won the damn thing for managing to close the gap to 11 points. Small time.

Outfought and outfoxed, we need to learn from this and press on.

 

Some individuals were really not good enough tonight. Justin,  Casadei, KDH, Vardy and Iheanacho all extremely poor and 4 of those are squad leaders, they were not good enough.

Club legend and all that but Vardy was absolutely pathetic tonight. Shoved off the ball in terrible area’s, ultimately leading to the winning goal. 

[South Shire Fox]

James Justin on set pieces? The worst passer of a ball in the team? 😂. Said it before the game Casadei shouldnt of been starting, we got overrun by Sunderland with him in from the start and his lack of mobility. Should of been Choudhury for his battling qualities

I thought if we lost tonight, it'd be by a few goals, annoying we didn't run at Byram more. Sky are definitely making this out to be an FA cup shock though.

[Sly]

Leeds exposed the fact that we have players that aren’t comfortable when pressed.

 

We will still get promoted, however it proves what I sort of knew, we have quite a few players that will need replacing.

 

The midfield was non existent Winks aside.

 

Vardy was a 1/10 when he was on the pitch but Iheanacho was somehow worse.

 

You can’t take anything from the defence really, as the lack of midfield cost us that game, like it did countless times last season.

Beer 10/10

Pizza 6/10

Woman using a dildo 0/10 because she didn’t feature on my Sky feed

LCFC - same as a sexy woman

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Deserved defeat, no complaints at all. No energy, no urgency and tactically outsmarted by Farke. 

[David Hankey]

It had to come sooner or later.

 

Has anyone gone through a Championship season unbeaten?

[FoxTimmy2]

Not a single shot on target, shite

[StriderHiryu]

 

Stats confirm a pretty comprehensive loss. I don't think we were terrible, but it's a shame that after going behind, we never really tested their keeper till right at the end.

 

I feel like we lost the game in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Too lethargic and wingers isolated during that spell. We only got going because Leeds got ahead and switched to player the counter attack. I think we really missed Ndidi tonight, Casadei not quite ready for these big matches yet.

[RowlattsFox]

Going forward we are nowhere near as good as our start suggests. We don't create enough. Tonight really shown a lack of creativity from central midfield. 

 

Deserved to lose that and if we are being honest, it's been coming. 

 

Still think we'll be too good for everyone else but it's an indication how much we'd need to improve if we go up. 

[Manini]

Horrendous 

[martyn]

Disjointed from start to finish.

 

Only Fatawu, Ricardo and Winks come out with any credit. Everyone else was poor or worse.

[trabuch]

Leeds will take points off other promotion rivals.

[marcymarc666]

You have to give to them for defending superbly.

[lnkstern]

Leeds are a good squad.  We weren't outplayed, but they hung with us at almost every level.

 

Their press was really good, and the went forward with hunger.

 

It just took that one unlucky rebound, and a worldie save by Meslier to do us in.

 

Still 11 points between us and third.

There's a certain man up north who'd disagree with that statement.

[Jobyfox]

Thought we’d lose tonight.

 

We’ve had a couple of dodgy performances, but managed to win.

 

They were going into  the game with momentum after their last game and needed it more than we did.

 

We need to get the injured players back, reflect and then go again. 

[ClaphamFox]

Just now, The Doctor said:

Abysmal. Can't argue they didn't deserve that, 94 minutes before a shot on target is pathetic. I'd gladly send Casadei back now, he offers nothing 

He’s a significant weak link in the chain at the moment - it’s so obvious he’s just not at the same level as the rest of the team. I hope he comes good but at the moment he looks completely out of place.

I've only been able to watch 3 matches all season. Guess what happened in each of those 3 matches? 

Mind not watching anymore?

[honeybradger]

We desperately need Ndidi back. His movement off the ball and his linkup play was what we missed tonight. Casadei just hasnt shown he can offer that for us yet.

[foxsake]

That was disappointing.. couldn't find a way through but great to see Mavididi's game evolving, being less selfish and trying to create more chances. If Fatawu scores that wonder strike its a different story but if my uncle was my aunt blah de blah... Out biggest test so far and I really wanted us to batter them and carry on the run! ah well.. I am crying into my Brucciani's..

[Hales]

Blimey anyone would think they have won a trophy the way they are celebrating 😆

[beepee1984]

Teams are adapting to combat our style and we had no answer today
