POST MATCH: Leeds 2-3 Fulham

[jayffc]

Only 1 team below us in the league have beaten us

And they did it with 3 questionable goals/var decisions!

[Woolly Mammoth]

I thought we outclassed them and out passed them.
But added to thet we won our share of 50/50 tackles and muscling them off the ball was important. We are hunting in packs and picking their pockets by dispossessing them.
You don't got to Leeds and win unless you have grit, tenacity and the mental strength to win.
Add quality and confidence to those requirements and you have a cocktail of winners. 

[filham]

Our fighting attitude off the ball as good as we have ever seen from a Fulham squad.

[Finnans Right Peg]

There is just a huge togetherness and brilliant team spirit in this squad

I reckon Tim Ream makes the World cup squad for USA 2022 see him in action v England and Wales

During those first ten minutes I thought that we were going to be overrun and found myself thinking that 'this is exactly the sort of side we always bloody lose to', but fair play we stood up, were more than counted and then turned their own attempts at physical dominance against them.

Its this that makes me think that even if we do end up in a dogfight at the bottom, we have enough mettle and enough talent to see ourselves out of it.  Its a bloody nice feeling.

We will not be in a Dog Fight this season

We are in a Europa slot

Grand tour here we come

[HatterDon]

Great match all 'round. I continue to be concerned about giving up "easy" goals, but as long as we have more than them ... .
Hatter Mom was pleased to discover that Sinisterra played on the left.

Loving this season and this squad.

He won't, because our manager is a clown.

But I'm completely fine with it because he'll get a nice restorative break.

Bet 365 highlighting it took us until March to win 5 games last time around - makes a change to hear them say something positive about us.

[LittleErn]

First time I've seen this team in the flesh (I live in Yorkshire) but I was in awe of the pace and power of Robinson and the pace of William. It's not as obvious on the TV as you only see a small area. They turned the game round for us after Leeds had played like champions for 15 -20 mins. You could see the Leeds defenders backing off every time one of them surged forward and that stopped their momentum and allowed us back into the game. After that we bossed it. Still a few defensive errors but that is acceptable in a side set up to be entertaining, and so much better than watching the dour stuff our previous manager had us playing. Great support from the travelling faithful.

[TheCeiling]

Probably our best game this season. We created so many clear cut chances.
What a brilliant start to the season so far.

[Whitesideup]

Love having Willian in our team. Has been a fantastic player to watch over the years and just a joy to have him playing for us.
Pereira's ability to find a player on the dead balls and crosses is also incredible. From being a team rubbish at corners over the years we now look as though we're going to score on every one.


Those two deserving a special mention.

Remember when we would have 17 corners in a game, and we just knew that 1) they wouldn't make it past the first man, and 2) they were a waste and we'd be more susceptible to a counter than scoring ourselves? Now we are DEADLY at set pieces. Marco was criticized when he was fired from the PL for being weak at set pieces, both offensive and defensive. He has learned by leaps and bounds.

Going back a bit we didn't score from a corner for what seemed like two years. Statistically we were more likely to score from the goalkeeper having the ball. So from corners we were urging the taker to play the ball back to Betinelli on the basis we were more likley to score. Yes  . different now.

[We Are Premier League]

Reed for England!

Yeah there is something unique about Jedi's runs. Upright power and speed. Wish more of his crosses made it past the first man but still love watching him play.

How could he not!!

Thank you Fulham.

One of my good mates at work is a Leeds man so it was great to come to work a bit early and strategically position my scarf on his computer screen!
