[ATL Recs]

If you were going to take a midfielder off for an extra striker, it'd be Fleck that should gsborne all day running around a lot doing nothing

Didn’t say it showed quality, I said it showed desire. There’s not much quality in Leeds pressing game, but plenty of desire. Given the absence of it in so many games this season I’m happy to see it.

Oh come on Leeds have more technical and athletic ability than that
Our Running about even if it is slower than the opposition. is not good enough
Don’t let headless chicken running about fool you

 

[FatPaul]

Brewster is looking good, some of the balls he's played have been immense. It's just a shame that he doesn't have anyone with pace to find.

 

[SUFCinks]

But if we are being pedantic, defending for long periods, doesn’t ALWAYS result in the opponents scoring .

It doesnt always but if you are talking’ the best teams in europe’ having more of the ball in a match than you are then they are more likely to score than you are. Especially considering the midfield/striker some of these teams have.

if we have the ball for only 1/3 of the game we are making things really hard for us to score and easier for the opposition.

 

[SUFCinks]

WTF was that freekick - utter gash

Unfortunately we aren’t one of the best teams in Europe and as such are unlikely to dominate possession against those that are.

We've even had a couple of corners ourselves and they haven't scored from them either. Easy.

 

[BangorBlade]

Why take off Brewster and put on Burke ffs

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Maupay showing off with Ramb o for missing that wtf

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I don't see the point in Oli Burke at all. I'd genuinely have rather kept Robinson, terrible deal by Wilder

 

[SUFCinks]

Well thats why we would never survive this league, the same reason stoke went down, lumping it forward takes no skill in the best league in the world and you quickly get found out. Running around is a given, you need much more in this league!

 

[Lawrence]

Hanging on for 45 minutes

I’m certainly not fooled by it and it is certainly not headless chicken running about. It is a well drilled system which you could argue shows a degree of ‘quality’.
For me though, it’s more about them showing Desire and discipline rather than quality.

 

[originaltrueblade]

No no no no no not bloody Lundstram!!!! NO

 

[drblade]

WTF

 

[BarcaBlade]

No no no no no not bloody Lundstram!!!! NO

we're making it look to easy. Bring Lunny on to give 'em a chance.

 

[VwBlade]

Goals or not in glad we didn't sign that whining French cunt

 

[Chilttheblade]

Well Wilder didn't know what he was doing

I don’t thing we do ‘lump it forward’ very often. Even when occasionally I am screaming for us to do if.
We survived comfortably last season without lumping it. I agree we have a lack of quality and creativity in the midfield.

 

[FatPaul]

No no no no no not bloody Lundstram!!!! NO

Glad he's getting the opportunity to showcase his football skill to he future employees.. Barcelona.

 

[Bell4]

Thank goodness lundstram is on

 

[FredZeppelin]

This is like saying to Brighton....."fuck you, we'll play you with 10"!

 

[BangorBlade]

Why the he fck put Lundstram on hes done, gone, no fcking intrested wots wrong with the academy boys

 

[hull-Blade]

ten mins for Lunny to give the ball away in the run up to their equaliser!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Oliver Burke is very bad at football

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Burke is fucking useless what did wilder see in him

 

[FatPaul]

Good save, if not routine for ramsdale there.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Burke has ball in opposition box - never a striker in a year of Sunday’s - not sure even a footballer

 

[Peaktrade]

Lunny and Burke next to each other sums up our season of fake footballers in the team!

 

[Chilttheblade]

Burke is fucking useless what did wilder see in him

Wilder didn't know what he was doing

 

[Rochdaleblade]

This is like saying to Brighton....."fuck you, we'll play you with 10"!

Like Ronnie osullivan playing left handed
