Leeds Utd v Manchester Utd Match Thread - No Raphinha for Leeds

[SG90]

Boring????

Have you watched us this season?

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Have to agree, defensively we are an embarrassment. I guess as long we play 'lovely football' all is forgiven.

It's become a joke now Overman.

When does the Liverpool game correct score thread start. 6-0

Gee big white I get your frustration but I'm going 7-0

[Stan]

And who do you want to replace him?

Anyone that doesn't put us at 2nd worst goal difference in the league and think the likes of Tyler Roberts should be anywhere near a PM team. It would be also advantageous for someone who does not think they can go toe to toe with the best teams in the league every time despite our own inefficiencies and finally someone that can at least speak english, or try.

Conceding 4 goals at home in this fixture resulted in Wilko's sacking. And frankly he was a vastly better manager.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

An spirited and better second half

[Finnatic]

Only saw less than half the match because of a poor stream so can’t comment much on the performance but at least we had a glimmer of hope at 2-2. Another 4 goals conceded though is not good enough.

At 2-2 we could have played for a draw but with attacking players ie Raphinha and Gelhardt, we couldn’t and if they hadn’t been on we wouldn’t have got back into it anyway.
It’s a no win either way.

Arguably he was mid rebuild and the foundations for GG and DOLs future success had already been laid by Wilko

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Pretty well anybody.

[Chilli D]

Firpo isn’t fit - he has had no legs since he came on.

To be fair to him he probably wouldn't have played if it hadn't been for Koch's injury

[Cjay]

Stand by my half time comments.

Thought bringing Raph on and Gelhardt was the right changes (although Raph should never have been benched if he isn't injured).

Showed spirit 2nd half and could have scored more.

But as everyone says now, pundits, opposition fans, media, we are far far to open defensively and you can't concede the amount of chances we do and expect to win very often at the top level.

It might be exciting attacking football but it is schoolboy defensively and that isn't admirable by any means.

No clean sheets in months and 50 goals conceded which over a season would be 79 conceded which is the 4th worst by any Premier league team in a decade (and all of the 3 other teams were relegated).

[Overman]

I agree mate, but until we have some one better,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I think Eric ten Hag from Ajax would be quality.

[Johnboy1965]

It's not just Bielsa, though tactically this season he's been inept.
At least half the players aren't good enough and past their shelf life.
Should have started the rebuild last summer and now we're reaping what we've sown.

[Finnatic]

Yes, but obviously you haven’t or you have a low boredom threshold

[CHAPELALLMAN]

I think it was brutal the way the club sacked Wilko - after two championship wins in 3 years and top 5 finishes in 4 out of 5 of the seasons that he managed us in the first division.

[Cjay]

Shouldn't be on the bench if he isn't fit.

It wasn't even like he was a bit unfit, he was clearly miles off it.

He wasn't able to track back for the 2nd goal, only been on the pitch 20 mins.

Plus lots of poor recruitment ; Rodrigo, Harrison, Llorente, Koch and lately Firpo.

[Broad Ford]

A good spirited performance with bite and fighting spirit, but 4 goals conceded brings the drop even closer.

I'm still confident Leeds will survive.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

"No clean sheets in months and 50 goals conceded which over a season would be 79 conceded which is the 4th worst by any Premier league team in a decade (and all of the 3 other teams were relegated). "

Frankly that's sacking material.

[Cjay]

Just seen a stat on twitter.

We have conceded 2 goals or more in 13 of our 24 League matches so needed to score 3 goals or more in 54% of our league matches to have any chance of a win.
