Leon

[Patrick Suffaux]

Just a brief mention for my man of the match. Other players will get the plaudits but I thought he led the line well all night. Chased lost causes tirelessly, forced errors and was a nuisance on 50-50’s. Great centre forward’s performance.

 

[Captain]

Man possessed, Leon was brilliant tonight!Again

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Gets a new thread every game this lad

What a season he's having

Leoooooon

 

[ljk]

Absolutely herculean effort tonight, and in the last few games. As the commentators pointed out, Leeds' target man was laughable in comparison.

 

[BusheyBlade]

When we signed him, I doubt anyone could imagine a performance like that 12 months on. The way he pressured the defence all night long was brilliant.

 

[pesch the mini genius]

Love him ! Who would of said that a year ago, hats off to the man ! Brilliant

 

[FTPE]

He's run more in a red and white shirt than everyother club shirt he's ever put on combined.
Won almost every header today too.
Such a quality, hardworking talisman right now.

 

[Nelson1889]

If he had the attitude he has now at the start of his career there's no doubt that he'd have played in the premier league.

Wilder has got him into a head space where he is willing to run through brick walls for the team. Says everything about his man management skills

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Absolutely herculean effort tonight, and in the last few games. As the commentators pointed out, Leeds' target man was laughable in comparison.

Agreed, superb tonight.

[Jehovah]

He was more man than man

 

[dazzlingblade]

yep said the same, my man of the match tonight, becoming a revelation, and i cant imagine in all his career he has been happier, you can see it in his work rate, absolutely first class, and i'll admit i didn't think he had it in him, shows what i know

 

[Foxy]

Lazy bleeder

 

[Houston_Blade]

I don’t know how he’s still walking at the end, excellent performance. Whenever he’s on the pitch the defenders have to have eyes in the back of their heads.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Was my MOM. I know that others created and scored but Leon scared them to death and never game them a moment. Noticed CW had him in a headlock at the end obviously telling him how immense he was

 

[WeHateWednesday]

He was super man, my man of the match. The number of times he chased people down was fantastic

 

[Chief_Froley]

 

[GrayBlade]

MOTM for me as well and I’m a Duffy fan. Immense, I couldn’t give him enough superlatives, he’s certainly won me over.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

I’m so pleased for Leon. He’s a new player! Playing like a 25 yr old. Top man.

Wilder effect. Look at Wilder at FT in his ear. Brilliant.

 

[bromtom]

What a shift. Good lad. All hail King Leon

 

[Groucho Blade]

Top, top performance from Leon today. A true leader.

 

[Breakingblade]

The moment that summed him up: went down injured, looking in genuine pain... The next minute he's running full pelt, chasing down a backpass

 

[Iceybabey]

Shredded one of the Leeds defenders out on the right wing when chasing a long ball. The commentator said something along the line of "Clarke's really roughed so and so up there" haha made me chuckle

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Immense tonight. Chased down everything, set up the first goal and was a handful all game - unsung hero !!!

UTB.

 

[rosy red]

Well he's making me eat my words, last season I said to mate, idle, slow donkey, he won't do anything in championship, He's certainly showed me, hats off to him. In fact I think wilder must have borrowed jacks hat and let him try it on.

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Absolute quality, in fact it was a quality display from a quality player. Leon I think I love you.
UTB

 

[fintious maximus]

Leon, leon, leon. What a workhorse. Utb

 

[Valleyblade]

At the end of last season, when discussing talk of "back to back" promotions, I said that all wilder had to do was find the new Brian Deane.

I give you leeeeoooon the lion

 

[Redflame]

MOTM Peformance UTB

 

[Kop Cat]

Got to agree with all the above, a complete revelation his form this season and back end of last. After the way he started tonight I thought he would be out on his feet at around 65 - 70 mins but he was at it right til the last.

 

[Rob86]

2 threads tonight but yours was the first ! Simple about Leon, he would have been a regular Premier League player if he had the same attitude he has now 10 years ago. Can't comment on what's gone off for him in the past but right now he's bang at it and leading our revolution !!! He looks like he's got more in the tank than Sharp which will please him haha
