Gudmundsson looks like Gudmoneyspent.
Thought we competed well until last 15 but as both teams run down the pecking order Scum are always going to have more strength in depth.

A quality striker would make all the difference, Finn.

A deserved draw!

Yeah would say Crew looked the most ready if a little lightweight in frame for cm but looked positionally sound. Chambers can't say much about as he was against their best player and out of position. Chadwick and Harry didn't really have to do much but don't think they're close to being prem competitive yet. Prem 2 and if they progress well loans to championship if we sta.... Not gonna jinx it.

Harrison on the left was pretty anonymous, but when Ramazani came onbin the 2nd half most of the danger was from down the left.

If this was to put Jack in the shop window then it only made him look like a dummy.

Hopefully, we won't be throwing four kids on the pitch in our next two friendly games.

Let's face it, we won't be seeing much of them in the Premier League, they'll be lucky to make the bench.

There were times Manure looked a different class, not often but they had that extra gear we didn’t have…

Subhuman would likely suggest that they will all be worldbeaters they just need minutes, like Joseph.

Attacking threats for Leeds came from the Bogle/Gnonto, and the Ramazani/Gudmundsson combo. So the style was much the same as last year.

Of the old boys Tanaka and Piroe had an excellent game, of the other new boys no one was a particular standout though they all seemed solid.

Longstaff was thrown in at the deep end only having signed a few days before.

If Man U represent the calibre of the opposition in the premiership then we have nothing to fear. I was underwhelmed by their performance it was only a shadow of their glory days, their reputation of being a force to contend with has become a little bit rusty and tarnish, even their signing from Wolves refused to shine.

When reading the man u forums there was quite a few mentions of Celtic beating Newcastle 4-0

Scottish football is so often disparaged and Celtic and Rangers classed as equivalent to English championship teams.

So I suppose by that logic Newcastle must be a lower championship team if Celtic can beat them.

Nothing to fear in the premiership.

Sean Longstaff stats:
As per Fot Mob data, he created one chance, found the mark with 24 of his 25 attempted passes (96%), had 29 touches and made one pass into the final third.

Defensively, he made two recoveries and won two of his three ground duels.

Clearly, it’s unwise to read too much into a pre-season friendly but it appears as if Longstaff has made a solid start at Leeds, particularly considering the fact he only joined a matter of hours before his bow.

Interesting that DF took youngsters instead of Gelhardt, Greenwood and Gyabi. I guess they have been told they can leave.
