One interesting fact ;

"Last night Leeds United became the 2nd team in Premier League history to go ahead 3 times in a match and still end up losing...
The only other team to manage this was Leeds United in 2022 when they went ahead of Spurs 3 times and still lost 4-3."

Which is why if you post a viewpoint - which is always going to be a subjective one - they respond typically with sarcasm and/or mockery which is disrespectful, and smacks of narcissistic superiority. People with narcissistic tendencies are always trying to manifest a sense of superiority.

Best thing is to just filter such people - I filtered Irish Ian and Weasel yesterday. They are the only two people that I get sarcasm and mockery from on here if I post an opinion.

That seemed the logical change.

And even if Okafor has been playing well it still wouldn't have made sense.
Cos Tanaka is on the naughty sofa with Gnonto :lol:

The one that was previously occupied by Djed Spence, Connor Roberts, Jaidon Anthony and Charlie Cresswell.

Gotta keep the seats warm.

Actually, it was under Marsch. We used to get away with being thumped 7-0 or 6-2 under Bielsa.... :lol:

Interesting what the report at the time mentioned ;

" But the hosts soon started to cause Leeds problems - particularly down the right-hand side, where Pascal Struijk struggled to keep the impressive Kulusevski in check."

:lol: classic

But the score and results didn't matter cos we were everyone's favourite second team under Marcelo 8-)

Oh, apologies to Jessie for not recognising his achievement :clap:

As I said, our left wing has been an issue since the dawn of time.

I have to say, there does seem to be more negativity when we suffer a defeat, whether we play well or not.

This match day thread is now into its 41st page, the majority of these threads don't reach 30 pages, so where was everybody when we were picking up incredible points in what has been our most difficult batch of matches of this season since the end of November.

God help us if we draw or lose against Fulham.

Yes but..... 37 pages were before or on the match day, so we had more people contributing during the match than usual, but with it being 4-3 that is also not surprising... so since the end of the match day only 4 pages which is about normal....
Hopelessly lost.................. But making good time
