Leeds Utd v Cardiff City Match Thread

[Barlow Boy]

On a 7 niller.

Yeah, very odd

[Barlow Boy]

Was he also conducting a poll amongst the fans in relation to our transfer activities?

He doesn’t strike me as the calmest bloke on the planet most weeks, doubt he is capable of conducting a poll

Who are you talking about Leon?

Dan the man

[Cjay]

We are a much better team when we play with purpose.

Possession with purpose as its called.

Our average possession was down on our average but passes in the opposition half was up.

Was very pleased with the bravery and positive play today.

Makes such a difference

Been watching United for some years, next season will be my 80th season, can still get to a fair amount of games, even though I live in Gloucester. today of all days.not able to travel. can't wait to see highlights. Kop going wild. wonderful lads keep it up.

My god Jack, I'm in my 61st season.

[1964white]

Shout out to Tanaka who had a good game as well

AOs best game in a while.

[The Subhuman]

80th season!

That's some achievement. I started around 1979and didn't start going to games until 10 years later.

About when I stopped on a regular basis

[1964white]

Great result, im sure our confidence was already pretty good but this will up it another level.

How long before someone trys to play it all down by saying it was only Cardiff

A backlash from me if anyone even attempts to diminish that performance.

[1964white]

I’ve had worse days at Elland Road

Twat.

They all played well today, including our keeper.

[Pullhard]

Outstanding result
Gap opened to Burnley.
When was the last time we scored seven.

We are hummin

[1964white]

Biggest win since Southampton 7-0 in March 1972.

The 15th time #LUFC have scored 7 or more in a competitive game, 10th time in the League.

7th time Leeds have won 7-0, 5th time in the League.

I was there

Seven in my lifetime. I attended five of those matches.

Chelsea
CA Spora (twice)
Lyn Oslo (twice) may have been 0-6 away, 10-0 at ER?
Southampton
Cardiff

[1964white]

From what I read on another thread, I believe Leon is calling DJ our best player. Hard to disagree. Although we have 3 or 4.

Dan for me, so many candidates, Andrew.

Cardiff attempted to play the same style as us, however left themselves vulnerable to our counter-attacks as they totally lacked the quality of Leeds. A wide open game that played straight into our hands.

I wish all teams came to ER to win the game.

[JoeDenver]

AOs best game in a while.

He was so quick to progressively cycle the ball forward as opposed to send it backwards to Mes, etc.

[weasel]

All good runs end somewhere. Especially when you come up against a really good team.

The fact that Cardiff were on a good run might have worked against them today and maybe they came into the game with a bit too much confidence. All to our benefit.

Worth noting that our first goal came as we broke after Cardiff had a dangerous attack.

[The Subhuman]

I love that ball out that splits two Cardiff players and finds Piroe. Created all the space and launch pad for the first. There was also a nice defensive header from Firpo in there despite the Cardiff player backing in

Errrrrrrrr. Think you got something wrong there 64 Poor Kev

Errrrrrrrr. Think you got something wrong there 64 Poor Kev

Cheeky!

Kev knows who I mean.

Fantastic performance in all regards and credit where credits very much due..... Farke made some really good tweaks. Did anyone else notice Piroes massive change in positioning today? Coming deep to get on the ball then turning and passing to the overlapping runners? Must have had more passes today than in his last 5. Brilliant adaptation that. Best game this season so far and reminded me of a similar type of thing that we had last season with Rutter.

Enough of one player though what really impressed me what the side before self kick started by James..... Could of took that shot on and no one would have moaned, instead played the certain goal pass for Aaronsson and it carried on from there.

My only gripe would be that Kinnear can say look at this scoreline why do we need to add a 10 or a striker..... (Which I think could hurt us in event of injuries to piroe or aaronsson).

Massively happy though, faultless game from the lads. Mot.

My thought is how someone can look at that display and still think a new striker and a ten are necessities in this window.

I understand your concern about where we would be if Piroe and/or Aaronson have to miss any time, but Largie, Willie, and Matty looked pretty good today as replacements. The starting front four were outstanding, but there wasn't much of a dropoff when three of them were subbed off.
