Clarke makes me nervous.

 

[gooseh]

Clarke makes me nervous.

What's happened to poor old Alfie? I know one loanee has to drop out, but I don't think he's been terrible

 

[paidsy]

Need to make this count

 

[HackeyBlade]

Good so far, but not convinced Clarke is an upgrade on Gilchrist or even competition

 

[drblade]

Robbo having a good game so far

 

[drblade]

Souza - immense so far

 

[Thrice]

Not happy with Clarke at all so far.

Not even on the bench. Wish he was...another mistake from Clarke

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Clarke's just ball watching Very POOR so far tonight

 

[BangorBlade]

JRS tracking back is shocking not helping out Clarke

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Rak saki Diaz non existent

 

[gooseh]

What the hell is that logo on their kit meant to be?!

 

[Seun]

Rak Sakyi needs to be helping Clarke more. They're clearly targeting our right flank.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Frank the tank]

Clarke started really. Well but he's fading

 

[Thrice]

What the hell is that logo on their kit meant to be?!

You mean the Red Bull logo?

 

[gooseh]

You mean the Red Bull logo?

The yellow circly thing where the badge should be

What's it all about

 

[jono_t2000]

Were the better team by far until we scored,

Then we started to become more defensive and pass backwards alot more for some reason

 

[robbiez666]

Good first half so far. Stopped them playing and created a couple of good chances. Clarke has been poor though (AGAIN) and so has JRS with his tracking back. That needs to improve or we'll be punished. Their keeper has to be the worst in the league. shocking.

 

[BangorBlade]

We're definitely weak down our right, hopefully get Gus on the left BBD over to the right JRS off

 

[originaltrueblade]

Clarke worries me

 

[Gimli]

The tempo was great at the start of the game but largely helped because we were keeping the ball well. We’ve not kept the ball well at all since we scored.

 

[North Riding Blade]

The reason being Leeds pressed higher up the pitch with a bit more tempo......as you would expect.

 

[Thrice]

The yellow circly thing where the badge should be

Oh I think that's one of their old logos. Adidas have that thing right now where they're using old/alternative logos for away/third kits.

 

[sheff_blade90]

problem is with that half. since souza we had that head issue, & we had that break in play. the intenstity has dropped & we arent near the level of 1st 20 mins. leeds become more dangerous. i wonder if we tired as half progressed

i like JRS, attacking wise he is fantastic but he's just not learnt the defensive duties as i hoped he would. which unless he does i doubt he could make it at Crystal Palace

I don't think Clarke is the issue, it's Jes not tracking back enough, Clarke is having to do the job of two people.

 

[shrubbery]

Brilliant first half. Unlucky to have not scored before we did with Meslier flapping at everything. Would have been one of the best own goals ever if he’d punched into his own net from that distance but made up for it by helping the ball over the line a few minutes later. Need to continue with the high energy for another 45 and put Meslier under as much pressure as possible.

 

[This City Is Ours]

Electric start and everyone doing things right. Expected that they would get back into it as they are good tbf. Just got to keep grinding and try get the ball down and play a bit. Clarke makes me nervy. Well done so far Blades

 

[bonobo]

Every attack down our right creates an opening, its been that way for weeks whoever is RB. Starts from right wing and runs to Anels positions. But that is a minor point after a superb performance, every good team has a chink and we defend our box well.. IHaving Meslier helps, but it's interesting how having Pecks corners and Anel and Robbo as targets is more effective than Hamer swinging them in for Souttar and Moore.
