Leeds United vs Crystal Palace - Match Thread

[The Subhuman]

Didn’t think he was as bad as James, who I thought was truly worthless. Thought Aaronson actually got stuck in and made some things happen…better performance than his previous performances for me. Still however only deserves a rating of a 6, FWIW.

James came on as a wing back, which he isn't. It means he sits deeper and can't get behind defences so easily...We were a positional mess by the end of the game...

No hence the ? 3 home games as opposed to 2 last season and no Arsenal

I'm still unconvinced our first five fixtures were easier.

Time for a rewatch of yesterday's game.

I hope I don't fall asleep after tense victorious bowls match this morning.

I'm not sure that was true. He seemed much more forwarda nd playing as a right winger when he came on. Most of his involvements were in that attacking far right corner of the field.

I may be wrong but I thought we went to a back 4 when James came on

Four of his five moments were in the attacking half, Andrew.

[1964white]

Our best moments of the game

Offensive

Trafford pass > Muharemovic pass > Ampadu pass > Elvedi run & pass > Bogle run > Justin cross > Calvert-Lewin shot saved.

Would have been a wonderful goal in a dour match.

Defensive

Muharemovic - goal-saving block (first-half).

Trafford - excellent save from a curled shot round our wall.

Muharemovic - Goal saving challenge. (second-half)

Ampadu - Impeccable tackle in the six yard box preventing an attacker having a free shot on goal. (second-half)

Justin - Great interception & defensive clearance when he was off balance in our box. (second-half)

All three of those brilliant second-half defensive actions were in the final 15 minutes

[1964white]

How many warnings did we need in the first ten minutes of the second-half before we almost conceded with their offside goal?

New referee on the block was very poor.

Yet another one who likes the look of himself. I felt at times the game was all about him.

He got five or six decisions incorrect.

TBH I can't think of a single referee in the Premiership that I think I'm comfortable officiating our games. Yes they are human beings and as such will make mistakes and it is a bloody difficult job that they do. Nevertheless, but so often I sit wondering what they see or what they were looking at when they decide things.
