POST MATCH: Leeds

[Rightwhite]

Just a real shite game of football today with awful performances from both sides. Neither team deserved the win but it is what it is. That performance was coming. Hopefully its out of our system now. We move on.

I think these comments about Berge are very harsh.

Also, I see a pattern, whenever we play Berge and Lukic together and we lose that's always the reason we lost, and when they play together and we win, pretty much everyone is quiet, they get no credit.

To those saying we looked better with TC on, how? We created no chances and we conceded a lot of excellent chances. Leno made a terrific save to prevents us from losing by 2 goals. Even if you look at stats, with Berge-Lukic together, Leeds had 7 shots, with TC on pitch (he came on in the 66th minute) Leeds also had 7 shots. So same amount of shots in less than half of the minutes. Also 4/5 of their shots on target happened during that period. Going forwards is the same thing. Our only shot on target was in first half(Lukic). xG of our chances before TC came in was 0.30 and we only created 0.09 after. In the first half we also had some good attacks that died after misplaced passes that could have been goal chances(e.g. when Raul almost put it on a plate for Wilson only for it to be intercepted).

I don't think either one of them were amazing (but who was), but subs didn't help at all either and the midfield that started was the right choice, considering the physicality of their midfield.

But I guess it's always easy to blame Berge and/or Lukic for our losses. Neither one was one of our top 4-5 worst performers today.

Also this wasn't our worst performance. Our worst performance was Everton. This was a 0-0 game before we conceded. They then had another good chance afterwards, so they deserved to win overall. Everton game was terrible from the beginning to the end and Everton actually played really well that day, especially in the first half, unlike Leeds today.

All I'm seeing are Leeds fans saying how sh1t we are. They need a good hammering from someone soon.

Our unbeaten run was bound to end. Let's hope we can start another unbeaten run now, especially as we play teans that are close to us in the table in the next 3 matches.

Berge was excellent against Chelsea , played much higher up the pitch and was a threat .both in that game and Liverpool there was rotation in central midfield with both players ( whatever combination ) getting forward . The formation wasn't helpful but to be honest , none of the players were at it today . Last seasons ESR returned , Wilson back to his normal level , Jedi didn't find a pass or make a tackle . Raul was everywhere but upfront . Etc

I guess a drop off was inevitable after a run of good performances . It's the hope that gets you !

This doesn't sound good. Will we ever have less than 4-5 players missing?

Think he's saying Lukic injury is bad,ESR doesn't know yet.

Unless I have missed something I can't see where anyone has laid blame for the goal, which is most unusual as someone is always to blame.

[Fernhurst]

I wouldn't have voted for anyone as MOTM. Shocking performance, weird tactics IMO. Should have been 4 or 5 nil.

Go next.

Thought Leno was outstanding,but the remainder of the performance very tired looking.

Adama perhaps?

I blame the tea lady for the goal

Leno almost gifted them a goal at the moment he beginning of the match and then there was also a cross not long after that he didn't deal with well. He did make an excellent save to stop them scoring the second goal. I thought ESR was probably our best player.

But who's the other player then in the quote I posted? "We probably lost another two players this afternoon".

From memory, Castagne was the main culprit. He didn't track his man at all. Andersen and Diop stood still and Cuenca was a bit late to cover Robinson who shouldn't have been that far forward, and our midfield got bypassed quite easily in the buildup. Poor moments from multiple players, in short.

For me winning or losing it isn't the right setup, winning or losing isnt a reason to make the change, the change needs to happen because it stifled creativity outside playing the top 4

Not sure what match you watched, only 1 side deserved to win and it wasn't us. Leeds made us look really bad and over the match were worth the win.

[Milo]

Wilson out wide is a waste.

Why have him picking the ball up on the right hand touchline at the halfway line?

Push him upfront alongside Raul for godsake.
