Leeds United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 25/26

Just a pity that once again he wasn't given long enough! They huffed and puffed but this was a poor performance on a night when we really wanted three points. I hope we don't look back at this as a crucial result. In a way I'm glad we have the FA cup this weekend.

So it begins, absolute shite that …that was game we couldn't lose should be winning, if the home form drops off along with DCL's goals we're in for a nervy ol end of season, looking at other results when we shouldn't had to be relying on that

How's that?

😄 apologies

Well, Bowen, Summerville and Co. will be especially up for it against Fulham tomorrow night because of tonights result.

We are back in it if West Ham win.

We were v blunt up front, but ffs struijk was head locked and no penalty. Ampadu was braindead but it was probably natural reaction without thinking tbf. Wouldn't panic just yet, city will beat forest and west ham wont have it easy away to fulham. We still dominated lat night but once we went down it was going to be incredibly difficult to score against a **** housing Sunderland.

One was going against City, the other against an irrelevant club who dont have a record of hiring officials to ref in the club owners home country

How can anyone say its not certain it hit Rodri's arm? It was heading straight past him to DCL when it suddenly got looped in the air after he stuck the elbow out.

season will most likely go to the wire, not signing a legit striker that could share the load might come back to bite them on the ass but it was fairly obvious to be fair.

Hopefully the team will not panic, it’s all about momentum right now, West Ham have some but are still vulnerable, Spurs look very bad but one would think that they have enough quality to pull through, that could be their Achilles heel as they probably think relegation is never something they think they could contemplate. Forest are erratic but it’s early days, i genuinely think it will be be a massive achievement to avoid relegation , team are definitely giving it their all but every game we play is nearly 50/50 to be generous, besides playing top teams

Think that was as bad a game as I've ever seen at ER. After the heroics of Saturday I really expected more. Obviously hindsight is wonderful but surely it was the game to make a couple of changes to the starting line up. They had been going so badly and missing so many, that a blind man could see the way they were going to set up and play.

We needed to start fast, get on the ball and stretch them early but with the team we picked we had no opportunity to do that.

No need for Gruev to start that game, or to start with the back 5. Why not go with Gnonto from the start and have a go at them.

I genuinely fear for us now. The age old blueprint of how to come to ER and shithouse your way to a result is a blueprint for our opponents in our remaining home games. We've seen it for years in the Championship and the next few games will be no different.

Palace is huge now and a really difficult place to go and get a result.

Poor choice to not go with DCL/Nmecha from what I could see. Tanaka should be playing these home games, we have too many defensive MF otherwise. Unbelievable refereeing yet again, we have had some truly appalling decisions go against us.

He has gotten too comfortable with the 5-4-1, but he needs to go 2 upfront against teams like last night.

Premiership matches are a difficult watch, VAR and offside is a joke. Crystal Palace robbed from going 1 up there.

Pretty much expected for the cup. Would have liked to see Ampadu get a rest. I'd like to win this and then unless we get Port Vale or Southampton in the next round play the kids.

Pireo is going to score a lot from the edge of our 18 yardbox…….

Certainly getting no favours from var this past week, in saying that the lack of anything positive in the final third in the same period is a bit of a concern
