I thought that for the free kick Meslier should have been standing in the centre of the goal rather than over to the left. He was depending on the wall to cover the right side of the goal, but against a free kick taker of Ward-Prouse’s quality you can’t rely on that. As it was he got his fingertips to the ball, so if his starting point had been a yard or so to the right he could have made the save. ------ Original Message ------ On Sunday, 3 Apr, 22 At 09:15, nattan--- via Leedslist<leedslist@gn.apc.org> wrote: "Is it wrong that all I keep thinking is ' i hope Ward-Prowse gets an injury so he cant play on Saturday '" - that was my WhatsApp text to my Leeds mates on Tuesady watching England. How prescient was that A pretty poor game and hard to know if it was one point gained or two lost in our relegation fight , but Ward-Priwse and his free kick certainly cost us this game as without that they never looked like scoring. It was a very flat atmosphere throughout, even the goal , was not subject to the 'limbs'we have had recently, the 2 goals v scum and the winner v Norwich, or even jumping round my front room v Wolves. The goal came when Raph just managed to keep the ball in and crossed , the keeper got a hand to it but it fell to Harrison who seemed to shin it in, certainly not a clean strike. In boxing they often say it is ' styles that make fights ' thus was the opposite in that the styles ( both similar) made it a non fight, or a bore draw in this case. Once they equalised it had draw written all over it , and the crowd responded with apathy , occasionally getting excited or nervous depending on who had the ball in attack but generally just waiting for it to be over. We had some good points from the game , Cooper managed 90 minutes and looked cool and composed throughout, Rodrigo had another very good game, Joffy showed that though he cant pull a rabbit from the hat every game he is definitely a real talent, and perhaps most importantly of all KP was back, getting 25 minutes or so, not that he did much in that time but hopefully it means he can start next week, a real 6 pointer. With Burnley and Watford losing ( hope the same today for Norwich and Everton)) a point may be ok but I would be much happier with such a boring game if we had got all 3 Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Rest in Peace Guy, and wear your hat! _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org
