Despite the lack of a clean sheet, I think this was clearly our best outing of the season. Could’ve scored 6-7 in this one. What a dominating performance. Used the love response icon many times. This was a great watch. Definitely had last season vibes about it.

GREAT WIN for Leeds!! And another positive step on the road to safety. But it needs to be said this Crystal Palace side were ripe for the taking. They are in the middle of an absolutely brutal fixture list. But hey, we'll take it!!

I'll also say that we seem to have found the right system for the players we have. What a difference since going with the 5-3-2/3-5-2!

Actually preferred the 2nd half despite the pen and Palace probably should have scored a 2nd late on.

We've been bad at managing games a lot so was a nice change to see us manage the game well, keep attacking and not try and control the game play safe and manage it that way as usual.

Shout out to DCL as genuinely expected him to go off at some point fairly soon after the clash of heads, good movement on both goals.

Aaronso grew into the game imo, fairly quiet 1st half but got on the ball more 2nd half to good effect.

Amps and Stach were immense and felt Bijol, Struijk and Rodon handled Mateta and Nketiah well.

On the pen bit meh from Bijol and Perri but doesn't matter.

Much better, happy Cjay and so much better without ploddyball and a back 3 playing to the strengths of the players.

Had a function to attend today and worked hard not to see any scores. Just got home and sat down on the couch to watch the replay only to find it won’t be available until tomorrow afternoon.
