Leeds United v AC Milan Match Thread

[Irish Ian]

This ground is what Elland Rd could be.

Great atmosphere.

Keeps you fit up and down all these stairs too!

[Cjay]

Rodon struggling imo as well, doesn't seem to know when to be tight and when to drop off.

[John in Louisiana]

Darlow coming on

[Onemanstanding]

Looks like Darlow is on second half

[John in Louisiana]

Looks as though Darlow is the only change.

I suppose this means this will be our starting group v. Everton

[The Subhuman]

Darlow coming on

I wonder why, would have thought it better to give Perri most of the game.

[John in Louisiana]

Very nice work from Piroe in heavy traffic to retain possession.

[Shando]

Well, he's turned them out well drilled and they look pretty well organised.
Schmidt getting caught on his heels too much and along with some bad defensive positioning is making it hardwork for himself, otherwise he's getting forward in support quite well, i'd still prefer Byram though if Bogle can't start.
Stach looks like he's a baller with his non-stop movement into space with and without the ball knowing where space is.

But the glaringly obvious is still the lack of creativity in the final third, we are woeful there in decision making and speed of thought.
Willy missed a complete sitter and should've either passed or just hammered the ball home along the deck whilst being so close to the keeper, his pass to set up the Stach crossbar chance was better decision making.

Overall, quite pleased.

[The Subhuman]

James wins a FK but Schmidt is playing very narrow, almost like an inverted FB. Might be why he's getting caught outside.

[Shando]

Perri still recovering from his slight injury, why risk more.

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Isn't that Goodmondsson gud?

Boo...hiss. Welcome to the thread Jaydog

[The Subhuman]

Good ball from Ampadu and James maybe should do better with the first touch

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Nice ball in from Schmidt.

[The Subhuman]

Great ball from Schmidt, deflection carries it away from Gnonto or it's 1-1

[The Subhuman]

Gnonto onside there but there has to be someone in the middle.

[Shando]

The pleasing thing is we're not being owned by what the commentators are saying is a half n half Milan side with a view on their game tomorrow, they commented its neither full strength or a weak line up. They are a Champions league side and a top Italian outfit and we have been comfortable in possession and by no means out of it or looking as bad as i thought we might, but boy are we missing this Leicester 10 boy type, Buendia type or such, Pablo even.
It's an interesting watch though.

[John in Louisiana]

Wholesale changes....

Nmecha, Aaronson, Harrison, Gruev, Longstaff all on

[The Subhuman]

1-1 -

[AcrossThePondAsh]
