Leeds United 3-0 Fulham, Saturday 27 June 2020, 3:00pm

Who is our left winger? we never seem to have anyone there

Scott got this starting lineup wrong, imo.   He should have sat Bobby and had Cav on the wing from the start.   Fulham are trying to get our FBs to provide that width, but having Mitro + Bobby centrally is easy for Leeds to mark.   It also leaves our defense in danger with our FBs playing so high up.   


As great a CF as Mitro is, there are some teams set up to defend against crosses into the box.  Leeds look like one of those teams.


Unless I'm mistaken it's been a game and a half, we haven't seen one shot from Tom Cairney.

Mitro is also being torn apart and we had three penalty shouts. What is Mitro to do when players aren't penalized for ripping his shirt off in the box?

Am i theonly one that think their goal was offside? the guy jumping in front of Rodak, clearly affects the game as Rodak doesn't even try to go for the ball

I thought so too, but then at a front angle you can see that he isn't really close enough to be affecting the play. Correct decision unfortunately, as was the handball for me. The foul on BDR was a stonewaller though.

I don't disagree.

So what halftime adjustments will Parker now that he knows how the game isn't being called.  They need to figure out another way to get two goals regardless of the ref.

I'd start by replacing Bobby with Ivan.   Arter is ok as long as he isn't expected to defend.   I'd give Tom 10 more minutes to try and affect the game.

But don't forget Steve McClaren was quick to say "ah, well, they can't get them all right, maybe there wasn't too much contact"..."but Mitro should be off, blah blah blah, I love Leeds, blah blah, I don't like Fulham" is all i heard.

What a nob.

Looks like Mitro will get a retrospective 3 match ban. But what about their players elbow. BBC do not mention that.

Ivan for Knockers, if TC can't impact the game in the first 5-10 then move Bobby Reid to No. 10, switch Ivan left, and put Kebano out on the wing?

I just find Knockers too predictable and selfish... i'm biased against him starting.

Wait...did someone say this?

[grandad]

Hernandez coming on. Arter will have him & a red card.

I think it'd be given against us.

[Sting of the North]

Knowing we can make 5 subs I'd take off Reid,  cairney and arter.
Bringing on McDonald cava and stef Jo.
At half time.

Why mess up a midfield who has been dominating Leeds. Makes absolutely no sense to me, as I want to win this game.

Agree 100% about Anthony.    I don't rate him a winger that tries to play with a traditional #9.

[Mince n Tatties]

Coyw...👍

[AnOldBrownie]

Leeds don't have to play good football.   Don't be deceived because we've held possession.  They already have 3 points.

WE have to chase the game.  We have to be more clinical.

[SP]

Poor game.

[Sting of the North]

What the hell did Ream do there. He has to get a grip now.

[Mince n Tatties]

Why do we start each half asleep,lucky there.

[Asotosyios]

Is it my idea or are we playing (something like) 3-5-2?

[grandad]

I would have Cav on the right for Knockers.

[SP]

Cav for Knock plse.

[Rj Fulham]

amazing the ref can find his whistle when the guy on mitro goes to ground   :031:
