Leeds Utd v Portsmouth Match Thread

He isn't a 10 but he did do well to set up the goal tbf

I like him as a player but 12 M to sit on the bench? You pay a fee like that and he has to start but no clue where, can he play the 8? Which is our big weakness

[Cjay]

Paddy had 0 impact whatsoever.

Joseph did everything right but poor finishing.

Aaronson redeemed somewhat by the goal but missed a sitter.

Bogle very good going forward but at fault for 2 goals.

Gnonto took his goal well

Wasn't impressed by James

And Rodon had a bit of a mare, clearly struggling near the end

That isn't on him though and he's the best finisher we've got.

He doesn't miss the Aaronson or Josepg chance.

And he did very well for the Aaronson goal.

He's a conundrum but very talented.

If Joesph hadnt missed a sitter in front of goal we might have gone on to win the game

[The Subhuman]

I think that's pretty harsh. Meslier could have done better with the first but it was a very powerful strike. He can't possibly be faulted for the other two.

I agree, though, that had he made that first save we probably win easily

I start players on 6, add and take off as the game goes on. I dropped him 2 points for the goal...didn't do much other than nothing wrong for the goals.. Needs to start saving the odd pen just on law of averages. Bogle was on 5 until the great int and lovely pass for Aaronson late

[whiteinfrance]

Mes shocking for the first goal

Threw himself to the ground before the pen taker kicked it.

Geo still can't shoot

Bringing Bamford on for Joseph is like exchanging a Rolls Royce for a cart horse

Hands up who thinks Paddy is the Rolls Royce

[Ellandback1]

49ers need to show ambition now regarding Gnonto. Summerfield was for ffp, Gnonto needs to be kept. He can be sold if the summer if we have to.

STRONG links from Palace for Gnonto but if he has a 30% - 40% sell on clause, its not worth selling him

[airedale]

3 at the back with piroe playing off joseph could work and fit our best finisher in to the team.

There's a few would like him gone here..

[White Riot]

Now 8th, never give up

We're gonna win the league

He was unlucky - snatched at the chance, but he had a good game overall. If Bamford had missed that chance though, I know of at least one person who would have said Joseph would have scored that.

His goals will come, but all strikers miss good chances.

James to make way?

[airedale]

James to make way?

will ponder that ,but with the 3 at the back in pre season i assumed that was the plan.

Well DF has made a big thing about not keeping players who don’t want to be here. Hopefully Gnonto does not have his head turned again.

[1964white]

Well, that was unexpected.

In the end we got out of jail in a game we should have put to bed in the first 15th minutes.

Well done Farke for blowing any chance of grabbing a winner subbing both our pacy wingers James & Gnonto, killed any momentum we had left in the tank.

[Sean_Nile]

Norwich go down to Oxford 2-0 and Johnathon Rowe not even on the bench. Is something in the wind other than piss?

[Pullhard]

We are often critical on here about not making substitutions.
Today he made substitutions but we were much weaker
Their left back took down James for a penalty, then took down James for a yellow. He was there for the taking and we took off our wingers.

[Cjay]

Was disappointed Rothwell was instructed to play exactly the same way as Gruev and Ampadu, barely on nodding terms with the opposition box.

Clearly the 2 holders is here to stay.

He's a Dellboy 3 wheeler with no wheels
