Agree with that Rich. For me, most of the first half it was one of those 'you can't tell who are the league leaders and who is near the bottom'. Was I right that for at least 20 minutes, our (misfiring) midfield were unusually all in the box rather than patrolling the periphery? Meaning that rather than pinning Reading in, they were able to break out and cause us a few problems. Interesting. Thought you were spot on with all the scores. I too was worried by Casilla on several occasions and up till the save had him on a 4. Bamford I had on a 2. He was just dreadful inside the box. If no one else is scoring, the work he puts in to help create chances is little good if he so lacks strikers' instincts - (I hope it's a form/confidence thing, that a good hattrick against his old club midweek will put right). I see Eddie is good enough to now start and score for the Arse - (another player improved by Marcelo) - however, I was begging MB NOT to bring on Kev, or even Tyler in the last 20 as Patrick's high press was invaluable to 'managing' the game...I remembered when Eddie came on for the last while and it really diminished our control of the game.
Particularly impressed with Klich - always there, always available, starting to remind me of Batts in that respect. Great to see Pablo back, while for me Harrison was the early most improved payer, Dallas has become the most improved. It's thrilling but it's hard to sit back and calmly enjoy! sniff Kiko - 5. He dithered his way through the match. Indecisive. Ayling - 6. Started ok , moved to centre back and again did ok. White - 6. Cooper - 7. Solid defending throughout. Pablo - 8. High energy, great goal Klich - 7. Everywhere as usual Dallas - 8. Best right wing back at the club. Harrison - 6. Costa - 6. Bamford - 4. A lot of aimless running, some good control but he's not playing as a striker at the moment. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
