Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 October, 2023 Share Posted 29 October, 2023 As fun as it was watching them plod around, while being passed apart by City, I got extra enjoyment watching the deteriorating mentality of Fernandez. When I see him, he's nearly always the first to chuck it in, masking his frustration through whining, striking out, losing composure and petulance. Anthony is another one. A very brittle, dysfunctional group they have. Long may it continue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 3 November, 2023 Share Posted 3 November, 2023 Big win for Leeds at Leicester and well deserved. Watched Harry Winks do what he always does 5 and 10 yard, nothing passes in the main - wouldn't want him playing for us. Think Leicester had about one effort on target all game and they looked poor tonight. Not over impressed with Pirou though - didn't do much other than miss an early chance.

I've never seen anything in Winks other than a player who recycles the ball by playing a majority of simple passes. He flatters to deceive and the Spurs fans were desperate to get shot of him. Despite playing every game this season he has scored only one goal and has zero assists. Not for me but each to his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted 4 November, 2023 Share Posted 4 November, 2023 I think Downes was a better signing than Winks. Question is whether we can get promoted to stand a chance of keeping him. Winks is in the better team at the moment but he’s not the better player. Interestingly transfermrkt have the 3 most valuable players in the division as KDH, THB and KWP. We really should be much closer to the automatics with our squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been om with Winks, but I'm delighted with Downes. Very good player. There's no way that our squad should be behind Ipswich.

Am also guessing that they've had a settled squad for probably over a season and a half. No doubt we have under achieved so far, just have to try and keep pace with them. i doubt they have much strength outside the starting eleven, so when injuries and suspensions take affect, they may see a drop of in form.

We might have gone for Tino after that, which worked out. I lazily thought that Williams had spent so long playing reserve football, that it would stop him progressing.
