POST MATCH: Leeds

[FFC007]

What a load of horse 💩.

[Coastwalker]

and concede late YET again - exactly.

I think we fall asleep in added on time.

[Fulham 1879]

No control in midfield all match. They're wasn't one five minutes period when we dominated the ball. As a result, we were unable to build and it was disjointed with an inability to string together more than two passes. Worse performance of the season by a long way.

[WolverineFFC]

Just really poor all round.

Also, Since the very early season, King has looked increasingly ineffective on the ball and lightweight on it whenever he's played.

Today's not his fault but just saying! 

I think like most young players, teams see enough of them that they start to figure them out. King is struggling to adjust and seems to be pressing.

Totally agree. The game was lost in the midfield. Just didn't win the 50/50 challenges and looked timid all game. Combine that with a horrific performance on the left side of the pitch and this is what you get. The goal was an encapsulation of this.

[LittleErn]

Sess on right wing a disaster. He tried to take every ball with his left foot and lost out every time. A fish out of water. Berge was like a statue. When we got the ball we passed it backwards much of the time. Wilson in the middle has never worked. Leeds worked hard and deserved the points.

[ArcticOctopus]

I think the Berge-Lukic pairing is pretty fragile. It can work, but when it doesn't it fails spectacularly.

it was like watching two disabled raccoons fighting over a rotting apple. terrible advert for the league

The rotting apple represented our European ambitions....

[OZ-WHITE]

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

[ffcthereligion]

Awful performance. Deserved to lose. Players thought they had earned a day off. Mentality midgets

[Dodgin]

Disappointing, stand out's where getting into mess from passing out from the back half a dozen passes, then losing possession. One paced too many touches going forward. Didn't really bring Kevin into the game. Hopefully a couple of new faces

[bahay18]

Silva got it so right against Liverpool and Chelsea and today he got it so wrong. Why revert to Lukic / Berge ?we know that  doesn't it work . Sticking Sess out on the right was utterly bizarre . Best crosser of the ball at the club , let's remove that threat from his game . Hopefully that's the last time Lukic / Berge is deployed .

[Super Mick]

Unfortunately this is why we're always in the also ran group of the PL. Unless you have a ridiculous amount of luck, an amazing recruitment team or find financial loopholes to jump through and avoid being called cheats (or even cheat and it takes years to be found out, then just keep fighting it until hopefully one day it's all forgotten about) we'll always endure regular disappointments like today.

[ArcticOctopus]

Would have rather seen Sess LB with Jedi inside of him. Stick Kevin on the LW and that could have been a dangerous attack.

[Chi_FFC]

Best crosser of the ball at the club , let's remove that threat from his game .

Assuming for the sake of argument he is our best crosser, playing him on on the left wing really doesn't help matters because when deployed as a winger he really can't beat his man to deliver those crosses. He's a wingback or fullback or a late game attacking sub if chasing a goal.

[Chi_FFC]

More good news.

[FFC007]

The transfer window is open     

Come on!!

[KentFulham]

In my opinion watching from a cold Elland Road, we should never have started two DMs against a team in 16th, we lost all creativity.

ESR should have had one of them spots and Kevin start, particularly coming off his first goal.

Silva is just too cautious and hasn't got it in him to risk it for a Euro spot

[ArcticOctopus]

The transfer window is open     

Come on!!

I mean, anyone we get won't start until the last game of the season.

That actually sounds interesting, unlike the 90 minutes of my life I just lost.
