Leeds post match thread - 0-1 loss

[Gazza M]

Disappointed that the manager seemed to have frozen in the last 20 mins. Why not Daka and McAteer and go shit or bust? 

 

But hey can't knock what we have done so far. Boro now to get it out the system. 

[ForeverandEver]

Vardy quiet for couple of games thought he may have started Kel.

 

Not sure why Wanya/Albrighton/Daka couldn’t come in instead of Hamza?

Said on BBC RL we didn’t want an end to end game, & that’s what happened! 

 

Anyway no complaints on we go to Boro!

Hardly a tactical master class, sometimes it's not your day.

But it kind of was even if not complicated. It obviously wasn't working and nothing was changed for us. They didn't even play that well but had a plan and they probably edged it. We certainly didn't deserve to win. It was an incredibly flat, lethargic and one dimensional performance.

 

Let's not blow it out of proportion because it's been an incredible start but these are the kind of games that show we need a plan b (even if that is fairly subtle) not so much for this season, but if we hope to compete in the PL next year.

Anyone but them ☹️

I think I just saw the second best team to us tonight, we didn’t get out of second and they were still scrambling for the win… im now more confident we win the league 

Have we got out of 2nd all season? Think teams are starting to work us out unfortunately.

[Delphine]

What is worse I dont know? 

A-Losing as a Leicester fan to Leeds United

B-Losing as a Gala fan to Leeds United

C-Both 

🥲😅😂

Not many teams in this league are as good as Leeds were tonight. 

True and we are not going to win every match. 
The players can have an off match, but why only 2 subs and no tactical changes when we were clearly 2nd best tonight?

Ghost of the game - KDH 

 

Strolled around thinking he was the best player on the pitch but can’t even use his right foot

You can't go into big games carrying anyone never mind 3 players.

 

Cassadai and KDH in midfield were awful and Vardy was complete off it tonight.

 

Why did McAteer not get a game. ?

KDH struggles when he’s pressed. Clearly evident tonight. 

[Pita]

The stats tell us how poor we are at attacking 9 shots 0 on target very poor need a total reset and go forward and less just passing the ball

[inckley fox]

Can't win them all?! We were crap. Again! We'd ridden our luck for two games beforehand, and are starting to look jaded and predictable. Read the warning signs, and improve. Let's not kid ourselves that this is an outlier, nor that we've been at the level over recent weeks. If we're honest about it, and reappraise things, we'll be okay. If we shrug it off as ill-fortune, it'll get a lot worse.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

3 or 4 of our players playing really poor and letting the team down. At least 2 shouldn't be here

Kinda satisfying to see after the smugness ive been having to read this week.

 

Since Swansea we've been very flat.

 

Dont think it changes much, we've got so much quality that we've proved we don't need to play well to pick up points.

 

As long as the majority of the squad stays fit we will go up. We need a hell of a good summer in the transfer market if we don't want to humiliate ourselves next season though.

 

Blackburn, Sunderland and Leeds that have ran a train over us now.

 

Fair play to Leeds and Farke. Very good.

Blackburn and Sunderland "ran a train over us".. 

Are you registered blind..? 

[Ted Maul]

Worst performance of the season against, probably, the best team we've played (not that they needed to be tonight). Hopefully use it as a kick up the arse like we did the Hull result.

[Tazfox]

Disappointed that Fatawu decided to stop going at his man in the second half.

 

Casadeis all round game isn't good enough,  on the ball he is sloppy, defensively he is never marking anyone and seems to have no sense of anticipation. 

 

Overall the game was fairly even, both teams offered little and they took their chance and we didn't.  Ricardo superb

Yes - that is a worry. I guess he has his reasons. I still trust him.

[southfox66]

Yes you can't win them all, but you have to make an effort to make chances in front of goal, we woeful tonight, it almost feels like the last 13 wins mean nothing, the way we completely outplayed tonight.

Tbf it doesnt happen very often. In the last 20 years i can remember very few times theyve beaten us

[Daggers]

Casadei has no excuses for that performance, that was just lazy and pointless. On the back of tonight I’d be sending him back to Chelsea. I think he has ability, but tonight was unforgivable.

As always, will need to be replaced in the Premier League

Total reset, just won 9 in a row. 

[blueharmie]

Can't win them all, would rather loose to these than a shite team

 

 

11 points ahead of Leeds, let's just get back and keep winning.

 

Annoying, but we are still on track, need a bounce back .

[cityfanlee23]

Very poor first half as has been the script this season, multiple mistakes in defence, midfield anonymous, no fight in us. Leeds completely dominated us and exposed our flaws in this system, very frustrated at the lack of adaption today, Enzo made some subs that were needed but then continued to adopt the same slow pointless passing which led to even more mistakes in the second half. 

Daniel Farke has a win record over 50% from something like 150 championship games which is a fantastic record. He set Leeds up perfectly and sad to say but he was tactically superior today. 
It's one loss in 10 so I'm not too fussed about the result as we are still going in the right direction and still hold a healthy lead if Ipswich drop points from their games in hand. 

The league table does not lie, but i'm still unconvinced by the system and whether we can make it work should we get promoted, we need monumental improvements in the squad to make this style of play work against premier league clubs and i'm not sure we will have the funding to make that happen. Long way to go, lot's of time to improve as a unit, Enzo still has massive credit in the bank. Tonight was a bit of a write off and we look forward to the next one.

Best team won.

Leeds will win the championship.

 

Were far the better team, McAteer should've replaced Casadei (****ing waste of time he is) at half time.

 

Saying that, still an 11 point gap and we play them again after the window, where hopefully we've strengthened.

 

Up the citehhhhh.

 

Ps. 3-0 W next week vs Middlesborough

The same Leeds that lost to Stoke last week? 

 

You realise that no team is invincible and has off days or get outplayed? Leeds have drawn 4 and lost 3. Far better team? Table disagrees with you. 

[JonesLCFC]

The only positive to that is that we're still 11 points ahead. If we had won that to go 11 points clear, we'd be jubilant. This says a lot about the season so far. But tonight = poor.

 

Looking forward to having Wilf back. Caseidei was a passenger today.
