Spot on 👍

I see you're still going with this character mate...decent effort but boring af now.

What an absolute shambles. The squad never looked like the right one, and it's proved to be worse than it looked. If those players Bairstow, Crawley, Lawrence, Hameed have all had 4 test ducks this year, and Burns has had 6. None of them are good enough.

Fingers crossed. We need them down there and demoralised.

Man

I thought the first should have been an easy save, but not much he could have done about the others. Agreed that his confidence must be shot though. A promising career seems to have fallen away for him sadly.

He's probably on course for 8-12 this season because he plays for us, and is in and out of the team. Stick him in a decent team where he gets proper service, and plays regularly, and he'll score plenty. We'll agree to differ on this lad, but I think he'll be one hell of a player.

Amazing that you can't see this lads potential. Two feet, close control, powerful running, pace, great turn, finishing, good in the air. He'll be more than a £40m player.

Broja gives us so much more. The run for the penalty was superb - we have nobody else to do that, and actually there aren't many in the league who'd have earned that penalty. If we had decent crossers you'd back him to get on the end of plenty as well. He's got a massive future.

Yesterday worked as we weren't reliant on hitting Broja from out wide. Moi got his goal from a short pass from KWP coming in from the left. There's often as much benefit in giving the ball to a man breaking forward with team mates ahead of him as pinging it in (high, low, in swing, out swing) with only defenders between him and the goal. Yesterday's formation and line up gave us lots of options I thought.

Plan

I'm with you on not having two players on the wrong side together. If KWP is on the left then he needs a left footer ahead of him. We then have KWP coming inside and the wide man going outside. That gives the opposition more to think about than 2 men wanting to go outside or inside. I'm not sure why it's pony though to question who'll get on the end of crosses. It's a basic point - don't ping it in if you haven't got anyone to get on the end of the cross, you may as well just give the ball to them as that's what you're essentially doing.

Would you prefer Perraud at LB to KWP? That's the issue, not whether Perraud is OK. Personally I think KWP is better in every way than Perraud, save crossing ability with left foot, but as TWar says that's largely academic as he has nobody to hit with his crosses. His assist yesterday shows that you haven't got to put into the mixer to be creative from full back.

Keyboard manager! I've seen him play. Have you? If so, do you really believe he's a better option at LB than KWP?

We have our two best full backs on the field, and having KWP on the left is better than having Perraud there or shoving Livramento into a position he wasn't signed to play in, and never has at senior level.

Well said that man. Bang on.

Yep, that's what I read. 25 man squad, plus u23 team. Absolute disgrace that these diva's can't get on with it.

That's pretty much it mate.

Fixed it for you.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Pampered primadonas. Massive clubs with 25 great players, plus shit loads of u23 players to bolster the squad. So they've got to play a few kids, just get on with it. Leeds have 5 cases amongst staff and players. That's no reason to not play.
