Tough call Moth. I went for Ali's goal in the end.....wow factor :)

Shacks is promising young lad who is starting to make an impact at the highest level, so pleased for him

I think Shack atm is too lightweight to do everything Klich has to do, Klich outstanding today by the way. I think I prefer Shack at RWB though if Ayling continues in the centre, he's an excellent tackler and has the pace to shut down wingers

I have to go with Harrison's goal because the sequence of passing that happened just before it was sublime... then his turn on a sixpence to put it into the top corner was just delicious... a real team effort

Someone compared last night’s game to the one where we beat Southampton 7-0 in the 70s which, being an oldie, I remember well and I believe the comparisons are definitely there, because, like that game, this was about as comprehensive a victory as you are ever likely to see. We were in absolute control from the 1st to the last minute. Had the score been 10 nil WBA would have had no justification to feel aggrieved.

It is truly wonderful to be able to watch a match nervelessly, which, as we know, is very seldom the case with Leeds, where your only consideration is not whether we will win or lose but how many goals we will win by.

Thank you Marcelo!

I even watched the highlights & I'm not a big football fan, it was so good :)


What a lovely person Marcelo Bielsa is, so genuine!

Even though we didn't score from one, does anyone one else think our corners are starting to look a little more dangerous, Raph taking them on the left will reap their rewards soon.
On the same subject, I've been watching more games of other teams than for a long time, one thing I have been looking at is the quality of the corners from other teams and tbh on the whole they are poor from most teams, the Chelsea v Villa game the other night was particularly poor.

Raph zips them in :)

I agree mate, other clubs corners are just as poor, Chelsea v Villa were shocking!
