As an overseas lister who only gets to occasionally watch Leeds the most depressing thing for me that sank in last night , and you're on a similar track to me here , is how far behind the top of the PL we are.
I can't believe we beat this side last time and had "honourable" losses to other PL opposition - we were miles behind. I haven't thought too much about missing the heady heights Leeds reached before relegation until seeing us being dismantled last night. And yes, any of the subs they brought on last night would be very useful in a white shirt right now.
