Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread

[SG90]

Tanaka absolutely brilliant second half .... baffled by SU unless they're about to head back into the pack, nothing about them suggests playoff team

There won't be 6 better teams than them. If they went up, they'd struggle to get 20 points. It's really sht how parachute payments has made it now.

Got the performance I wanted, and the result. Two very good performances in a row now. Won't be budged Mateo has to start though

Well done faaip.....you were right about the 'jet lagged' players not being 'jet lagged'.

Would suggest they got it badly wrong today then.. Looked like they came for a point and that almost never works unless you're WBA

Seriously. Firpo and Tanaka were excellent. Aaronson had a good game even though he still panics in front of goal,

Yep they did. Both them and Burnley came to park the bus and get lucky. If either tried to play football, they'd have got a hiding.

Sunderland weren't all that either, Burnley too. Genuinely think we are the best team in the division by a way, no where near the quality in the top 4 there was last season.

Thanks, I just think private jets or business/first class is not the same thing as sardine second class. Plus everything will be done for them

Burnley caused more problems .. WBA and SU could have played 1000 minutes and not scored

15 hours in business was the freshest I've ever stepped off a flight

[WhiteRose]

Great result, wilder bottled his selection and came for a draw, happy to send him home empty handed. Last 2 games show we are the best team in this league and we should be comfortably atop the league but for the odd mistake.

I thought they had a go early on, we just got on top and they couldn't do anything about it

[Orange Box]

Just seen the first goal replay. I honestly think that was a set play, Firpo pulled two away to creat the space for Pascal.

Surprised Raki Saki or whatever he's called didn't start. They needed some flair from the outset

[Cjay]

Tbf to Wilder we've had issues vs back 3s before.

And they looked threatening on the break at times 1st half.

Issue imo is they didn't seem to have anything else, hit on the break and that's it.

And no pace won't have helped, they have fast wingers surprised none of them started.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Blunts stats are awful. Worst team we've played this season

Shots on target 0
XG 0.21
Touches in Box 4

You were right.

Just hope they are fresh for mid week.

Although personally I'd bench Aaronson regardless

[andrewjohnsmith]

We won 4 games against Ipswich and Leicester last season. I was saying we were the best team all last season too.

[The Subhuman]

Joseph for me is the best pure striker in the division.. Once on we saw great press and movement then a great finish..

[andrewjohnsmith]

I didn't see the Firpo part. But Strujik's movement definitely made it all look intentional.

I think we were after the first month. Just ended up being very Leeds in the final.
