Leeds 1-0 Fulham Saturday17/01

[OZ-WHITE]

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

[rusty shackleford]

Awful so far but always expected a tough match

[demeant0r]

We 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.

He did but he's on a yellow. Maybe sub him at 65m-70m. But we definitely need to sub Sess now.

[Count Flapula]

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

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.

Berge has been awful. Largely avoiding the ball and jogging around. He's offered absolutely nothing at all.

i agree, lukic for tc sooner than later

Why Sub Sess when he's been switched to right wing and getting no supply , everyone went missing when Leeds got the ball to bobble and bounce and took control of the game

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.

[RAY Rock]

We look unbalanced put Smith Rowe in the 10 Wilson on RW and Sess on the LW second half

Lukic booked

[SerbianLad]

No subs it seems

No 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.

[First State]

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

[hongkongfulham]

This is the lukic we need
