Elland Road 15:00

Leeds are playing well of late. We need to bring our A-game today. COYW!
Let's do this!! ::scarf::
Fancy a result today, hoping our chances fall to Raul.
I see black shorts... ::tongue::
Still can't believe we've taken nearly 3,000 up there, brilliant ::scarf::
Really like the all black kits.
COYW!!
2am here in Melbourne. COYW ::scarf:: ::scarf::
Going to be a very tough game. They were better than us at our place. They're now in strong form and playing very well at Elland Road.
Come on you Whites!! (figuratively speaking...)

I agree it's going to be a tough game,but I don't agree they were better than us. They created absolutely nothing in that game and we created a lot of chances once Kevin came on and if anyone deserved to win it was us.
Sess on the right, ESR on the left, Wilson in the middle?

Looks like it
How is Kavanagh the ref again? He seems to be the ref we get the most.

FFC available at 5/2.
Terrible throw-in from Robinson, luckily unpunished
fans very vocal. Love to hear it
Lots of long ball.
Not sure what the formation is, tons of drifting around... but enjoying it so far
Quote from: jayffc on January 17, 2026, 03:10:43 PMNot sure what the formation is, tons of drifting around... but enjoying it so far
I'd move ESR back to the 10 and Harry to the right with Sess on the left.
Beginning to take the home crowd out of it

I think it'll move around by the looks of things, we look pretty fluid at the moment. Flick ball in full effect with the balls up to Raul to flick round corner to Wilson again. Thats becoming a clear theme.
Just need to make that last pass a little better.
Raul to Wilson looks like it could carve them apart of leeds arent careful today. Of only Raul had made that pass there.
Obligatory request for a decent stream please all: the Camel Live one i've found is shocking...
ESR doing a great job in defence as well as attack so far. Looking well up for it
ESR is putting in a shift, cutting out passes left & right.

Cheers
Leno almost gifted them a goal there...
Leno... what??
really interesting set up this week
We seem to be playing in a way that we almost have wilson as Support striker in moments even sometimes looking like a 4-3-3 in moments with one of sess or esr dropping back and in if the other is attacking. Definitely something new
Poor defending there, terrible shot from Aaronson.
Sess not doing enough on the wing so far, imo.
Blimey, Leno looks like he's had 6 pints for lunch.
Anderson so soft
😬
He does that for our National team too...
Calvert Lewin is running as ragged. May have to bring Diop on
We look the biggest threat to us at the moment. If we can cut out the stupid mistakes we should win here
They should not allow the ball to be wiped with a towel
Castagne booked
Lukic booked now too
Not a smart yellow
its all got a bit sloppy all of a sudden
Can someone tell me why its ok to take 20 seconds to dry off a ball and wind up etc for a throw in.
did that warrant a yellow for lucic?
I think Marco may have been booked too.
Now 3 yellows
Of course Silva gets booked haha ffs

Never mind, this ref is horrible.. ::wink::
My observation in this game is that Cuenca and Anderson do not look comfortable teaming up at the back. They appear unsteady and slow decision making. With Bassey not available, it is what it is.
Marco booking confirmed on tv
Chelsea 1 up
Someone break out the smelling salt.
Weird one we started really well but a couple sloppy moments aorunds the back and suddenly shrunk into ourselves and lost all confidence for 25mins
Sess been pretty poor at LW too
I think Kevin needs to come on for Sess at half time. Sess barely got on the ball and he lost it every time pretty much in the few times he had it.
What the actual fk was that? That was at least a foot onside

No one on the perch questioned it?
Decent attempt
Superb pass from Wilson and a great run from Lukic, shot wasn't good enough though
Nice from Lukic
Sess and Berge not involved enough.
ESR has been great again today
nice hussle from wilson to force the corner
Terrible from Sess there
We need to sub lukic and Sess off, Harry needs to be on the right to be the most effective
Lost our way really
Good news is when we stop giving the ball away needlessly they arent producing anything
But attack that started brightly has fallen off really.
Sess definitely the least effective of the bunch. Kevin for him I guess would be the move with Wilson going right and ESR central again 60 mins in
Quote from: SerbianLad on January 17, 2026, 03:46:10 PMTerrible from Sess there
Will Marco realize he needs to sub him?
Fulham seem to always play at the level of the opponent.
They play poor against bad teams and well against good teams.
Quote from: demeant0r on January 17, 2026, 03:47:27 PMWe need to sub lukic and Sess off, Harry needs to be on the right to be the most effective
Why Lukic? Had perhaps the best chance of the game after a clever run and made a nice pass to Sess at the end of the half in the second phase of a dangerous corner he took.
Sess I agree 100%. He's really struggling at the moment.
Hey
Credit to Silva for trying something idifferent. I think perhaps with Chuk at RW this could be interesting.
But second half I'd give it 15mins and if we're still not making much then go back to our normal formation with Kev on and TC in for Lukic given he's now on a yellow
If we don't improve in the second half, Leeds will net one or two.
That was pedestrian. Poor passing and no grip on midfield. Largely anonymous and infective performances from Sess and Berge. Anderson and Leno looked shaky at times.
Rather poor first half, Leeds probably the better side
Leno dodgy
Not sure how this switch on the wings is working out (Wilson/Sessegnon), not very good so far
I viewed this match as a tough one, felt a bit better v Liverpool and Chelsea, albeit home games. I'm hoping for three points of course, but at HT I'd settle for a draw in this match.
Quote from: First State on January 17, 2026, 03:50:37 PMIf we offer the same level of play in the second half, Leeds will net one or two.
Not sure I agree with that. We weren't great, but we were a pass away or a better shot away from carving them open 4-5 times. Only chances Leeds had were after our terrible mistakes.
I hated it when I saw Sess starting on the wing when the lineup dropped and nothing in the last 45 minutes has changed my opinion. He should not be starting for us on the wing unless we have no other options. He's not a winger.
Up to 19th minute we were ok but then Leeds tore up Marco's game plan and peed on it , as soon as they got the ball to bounce and bobble we turned to water and lost control of the game . Leno having a stinker and everyone else has gone missing in action
Awful so far but always expected a tough match

Yeah agreed. TBH I'd rather see Sess moved to the left / ESR middle / Harry right form the start of the second half. Missed the first 15 mins but Sess was on the right a lot / Harry middle and wasn't working.
Guessing Berge an Lukic starting in the middle to match Leed's physicality but dare I say we've missed TC's control of the ball / play in midfield. Maybe we lose something off the ball sometimes but we generally have so much more of the ball in midfield when he plays.

But unlike the Everton match for example, that was his only foul. I don't think he's in danger of getting a red. He played on a yellow plenty of times (which isn't surprising considering the amount of yellows he's had in the past). I'd keep him on.

Over-reaction IMO. Not a great game but we are showing more (occasional) glimpses of class and have had some 'nearlies'. Just one good through pass could chage things completely. Keep the faith.

It looked like it could work when we actually managed the clear game plan which is fizzed or lofted ball into Rual dropping short, lay off or flick through to wilson in on goal. If raul hade angled his pass better Wilson should have been through on goal and in his form youd back him to score. Didn't happen though and then we just fell off a cliff and lost composure.
I can see what Silvas aiming here and actually dont mind that he's tried something tactically interesting. But...Given our recent record, if it aint broke and all that...maybe after 15 we just go back to what we know and let Kevin loose given his debut performance against them.
Start the 2nd half with Wilson right and Sess left. Consider subbing Berge for TC. If that doesn't work out then sub Sess off for Kevin.

Because the few times he got on the ball he lost it. Had a very poor first touch and shot late in the half too. He had by far the fewest amount of touches and only Robinson lost possession most times than him. Very poor half from Sess.
We look unbalanced put Smith Rowe in the 10 Wilson on RW and Sess on the LW second half

No subs it seems
Quote from: SerbianLad on January 17, 2026, 04:03:26 PMNo subs it seems
Yeh if we were losing I'd understand a half time sub but willing to give this 15-20 and see how it goes.
Come on, let's kick it up a notch.

Yes but he's played maybe a handful of times in his career as a RW. Would rather give him time on the left start of 2nd half and then take him off for Kevin on the hour if no improvement.

I think his best games last season were on the right wing. I do think that his position is a part of the problem today, but the bigger is him not being sharp enough today, maybe to do with his recent injury
This is the lukic we need
Sess again can't beat his man. Moving him to the left or sub him. This is clearly not working at all.
yeah, i think the first sub in 5 or ten minutes will be kev for sess.
Quote from: SerbianLad on January 17, 2026, 04:08:08 PMSess again can't beat his man. Moving him to the left or sub him. This is clearly not working at all.
I guess he wants kevin against tired legs.
Another 10 mins and then Kevin and Cairney on for Sess and Lukic
Not sure on some of the personnel/tactical choices today, feels like Marco has over thought this somewhat
Wilson has looked great at the start of this half
looking sloppy in possession on the left side.
Robinson is dire today
Echo some of the sub choices, need TC on and Kevin too. Sess having a bad game two in a row unfortunately
oh dear
Wilson a bit lucky there
Fulham have been on a good run the previous 6 games against tough competition. They were due for a let down. Got lucky that wasn't a red card on Wilson.
Sess and Pass the Parcel Berge need to come off but it will be Sess and Lukic, and not just because the latter is on a yellow card. Since Pereira left, Berge has become Marco's new love child.
Robinson's passing has been atrocious today
Shocking performance so far. I can see us ending this game down a man.
The spirit of StefJo lives on
Ok
Time to change things up
Andersen left DCL completely unmarked there
Yellow yes, never a red
Unless we make changes soon they are going to score
Seriously.
Lets act before we go a goal down this time

Berge does not have the quality to play in the Premier League. He is much too slow and often gets manhandled by smaller opponents. Fulham need an upgrade at that position.
Changes need to be made now. They're knocking on the door.

Yup its TC time
Very painful to watch, sloppy. Very lucky Wilson didn't get a red. We need to freshen it up. Get some subs on
Get Kevin on asap
Robinson looks a step or two off his normal pace, and his passes are not hitting their mark a bit more than usual.

Give over hes been very good the last 5+ games. Were all all over the gaff this half.
Why are the front 3 (except Raul) all literally playing out of position?
Has Fulham come out for the second half yet... ::tongue::
Marco has got this all wrong tactically and going to revert to his annoying default of not making a sub until we've played north of 70 mins
Quote from: MisfitKid on January 17, 2026, 04:20:27 PMHas Fulham come out for the second half yet... ::tongue::

Kevin on for Sess (Wilson to the right, ESR to the middle)
Starting Sess on the right has not worked
Yep, let's get the subs on - we need a spark.
Sess not tracking back there. We need to either sub him or change his position. This isn't working!!!
Lukic injured I think
If Leeds had a little bit more quality we'd be 2 or 3 down now
what is it that marco sees in these moments that we dont.
how have we not made a sub

We really didn't need another injury...
Good grief, Leeds have missed so many clear chances. They are flipping the switch and not even making the shots on goal.
Fulham are fortunate to still be in this game.
The right subs.
Right. Game starts here
If Kevin put in the performance that Sess did today there'd be pitchforks out from some. He doesn't look match fit to me yet, looks like he's running through treacle most of the time
When we do get the ball and a bit of control we look so unfussed about trying to score a goal, why not put them under some pressure?
Quote from: SerbianLad on January 17, 2026, 04:24:42 PMWe really didn't need another injury...

I agree. I don't like that type of over the top criticism of any of our players, but it is interesting how some players can get away with a lot more than others.
Thank god Spurs have equalised
Poor shot from Raul there
TC should bring some composure to the midfield.
lol raul
terrible from wilson
Kevin has made a positive impact already imo.
I'd get King and Adama on for ESR and Wilson soon. Both look knackered
ESR looks knackered
our front line in general looks knackered, not sure who to take off at this point.
ESR been the best of the forward players, Wilson of course can score out the blue. Raul has been pretty ineffectual outside of the first 20 mins.
tough one
ESR injured
Smith Rowe is done. The legs cramps prove he cannot go 90 minutes. What was Marco waiting for?
Maybe we should just forfeit since none of our players can go 90 minutes... ::cool::

Can not wait to have Chuk Iwobi and Muniz back
I'm not sure anyone has been better than a 3/10 including the manager. Muddled tactics, no real intent and players who seem a bit scared of Elland Road
this is so poor

Jiminez has been pants today sadly (along with most people)
Maybe JKA should have 10 to try something
I know Wilson has been in excellent form and Raul has been in good form too recently, but I'd sub them for Adama and JKA. They look knackered and the last thing we need is more injuries
Fulham have only one shot on goal.
Sometimes it's not your day. Just ask Man City.
Leeds' finishing has been truly shocking.
have we had a shot at all?
We have an xg of 0.39 !
8 shots; 1 on target

Diop and JKA coming on for Raul and Wilson.
Cuenca racking up the yellows. The commentator mentioned 5 bookings over the last 7 games.

maybe give both teams 0 points
Chucky's just set up Nigeria's first goal
Please Fulham get a late winner
1-0
Completely wrong formation tonight.
We look far better with Wilson in behind Jiminez.
I don't care what formation we have behind that.. Christmas tree... diamond.. praying mantis.. just get Wilson central behind Jiminez and not on the far right touchline. He's wasted there.
I am flabbergasted Silva still fails to see he's wasting Wilson in that wide position. Get him on the edge of the penalty area.. for gods sake.
Cr*p
of course

You just knew it was coming; we love giving up late goals.
Yep, it was coming. Very disappointing outing
Deserved. One of the worst performances I've seen in some time.
Deserved
Thanks Castagne
We deserved that for bringing Diop on.
Dear oh dear
THey deserved the 3 points
Worst Ive seen us play in a long time
AH well.
tbf we didn't deserve anything
Here we go again....
A sniff of the top seven and we blow it..
Castagne you muppet!
How many times do we do this in added on time.ffs
Marco tried something
It failed miserably in the end. Poor day at the office all round.
Thank god we have reinforcements on the way with Iwobi and Chuk cos our attack looks knackered
Superb save from Leno, almost 2-0
Predictable.
At the half would have been happy with a point. Now looks like empty handed
Not a good game from FFC, let's face it
Wilson too wide.. and too defensive for 65 minutes with the Berge/Lukic central duo. I've never seen us play well with those two as a duo. Keep Lukic on as a the enforcer and put Cairney alongside the full game.
Games like this are why Silva won't get a big job, just doesn't know how to wrestle us back into games when we're miles off it from how he's set us up
We've had a good run, some great performances. Pretty much safe from relegation. Just didn't happen today.
Leeds deserved the points. Can't complain

To be fair weve pulled back multiple game from behind.
But today he messed with a winning formula and we absolute stunk up the place.
Back home we come and hopefully with the Nigerian boys back we have a renewed energy and can strike back with a win next week.
Terrible game - 30% possession and 80% of the passes backwards , as soon as Leeds made the ball bounce and bobble we left the pitch and went home . No idea what Silva's game plan was
WILSON SCORES !
(for West Ham)
Embarrassing and frankly refund territory
Really didn't like the first half wings played opposite. I had thought that Robinson Sessegnon had a good working relationship down that left side and that was nullified with the switch. FFC outplayed in this game, very few, if any, decent scoring chances. Oh well, on to the next game
1 shot on target
Tbh I'm amazed that we held out until the 90th minute before conceding.
In fairness, this is not the same Leeds team we saw earlier this year. They have made a strong turnaround. That, and we just seem unable to keep a clean sheet. We are a striker and a #10 away from being European material.
WTF was that all about? Did the players go out on the lash last night?
We're not gonna play well in every game but god that was dire by dire standards. I thought it may be something with the pitch but no one controlled the ball and all passes were made at walking pace.
