Leeds United vs Brentford - Match Thread

[Sean_Nile]

The difference between Thiago and DCL has been night and day.

Correct DCL scores a goal and Thiago gets nothing

[The Subhuman]

Oohh Last second goal for Gross at Chelsea, that'll help my fantasy team.. (I can't do that funny b thing)

[weasel]

Will take that. Think Brentford were the better side but we battled well and Farke made brave substitutions to change the match and get us competing. Can see Brentford having a very good season.

Will be interesting what we do now in terms of Rodon being likely out for a couple of months. Can see us opting for a centreback, ideally one who can also play left back - but who that is....

[White Riot]

Decent result after a dreadful first half performance.

Bees take their chances and we would have been buried.

Well done DF with the changes and good effort from the lads second half.

Wilson has not settled in yet.

Because that's how you rate players ..

[WhiteRose]

Good result in the end. Do we need to start with the same formation every game, particularly at home? It’s great away but I just feel at home we invite the opposition on to us and have nowt to hit back with.

[DDB220]

Hats off to Farke for arresting at half time a performance that was becoming an embarrassment.

Much better second half. Considering how I felt at half time I am very happy with a point.

Dan James must be told never to shoot again.

[Chilli D]

Overall id take Nmecha,

My thoughts on Aaronson are well documented.

As are mine.
No doubt 64 will tell us how good he is.

[The Subhuman]

And it;'s gone to the chelsea game so no post match

[1964white]

Got to be pleased with that point.
Farke very proactive with his subs. And they worked.

Brilliant from Daniel.

We were drowning, Farke pulled us out of water.

[Cjay]

Happy with a point

Subs made a difference in the end, Tanaka and Nmecha especially.

Brentford still be gutted to not win, they were immense for large periods.

Take the point and move on

[Evan R]

Looked great in the 2H with a chance to win it late. Farke got it right bringing on DJ and Nmecha. Good point in the end, will take that.

[Sean_Nile]

Because that's how you rate players ..

I'll take a goal scorer every time

How often do we hear plays a great game but has no end product?

[Jaydog]

The worrying thing was the original set up... which Farke got wrong, fair play on rebalancing but it was obvious.

Putting it right is the main thing. And at HT.
He is often criticised for his insistence on 70th minute changes so…

[Cjay]

Because that's how you rate players ..

Can't be

Piroe was useless because all he did was score and create goals.

[Clitheroe White]

A shout out to Trafford who made an excellent save mid way through the 2nd half.

That made the draw happen.

Fair play

Yes, he will gain us at least 10 points this season

[Lumiukko]

I'll take the draw after that first half and against a very slick Brentford side, and indeed a draw is what I predicted in the poll. Credit to Farke for changing formation and personnel much earlier than he normally does and acknowledging he got the first half strategy wrong. Wilson and Nmecha were real menaces when they came on, and Tanaka added much needed energy and the extra body in midfield. Stach was very good in general midfield duties, but his free kicks were unusually poor, and he really should have gone for goal on that last kick of the match.

Rodon is going to be a loss as it will likely force a 4 at the back formation no matter what, unless Justin becomes cover for 3 CBs when Guds comes back, but still leaves us light.

Nevertheless, after 2 games we are averaging 2 points a match which is euro places.

Relax, some people just like to run down our players - especially those picked by Farke (of course the ones he doesn't select would walk into a World XI). Strikers are different but ultimately putting the ball in the net is the biggest part of their game and DCL did really well to time his run to perfection so as to be in the right place and not be offside (just like last week when unfortunately Wilson nipped in and scored from an offside position when DCL was in place to tap home).

Not the case with Thiago though ..
