[LU] Soton

[Richard Walker via Leedslist]

Hungover musings .
Great result and v.important win but my overall impression wasn't great. Yes we 
were the better of two poor teams but I thought a lot of our play was 
pedestrian and predictable and for me the 4-4-2 was the reason. We hardly 
created a chance in the first half and when we did get into good positions we 
fluffed it. Also, we just kept giving the ball away cheaply. 
Second half I thought Summerville changed things with his pace and energy. Yes 
his final ball isn't quite there and he missed a sitter or should have passed 
to Harrison but he makes things happen. Only have to look at his contribution 
on the goal. I also thought Rutter did well. 
I am concerned about our dynamic duo in midfield. Mckennie needs to be fitter. 
He's got good touch on the ball but he's carrying a bit of weight around the 
pitch. Roca most definitely isn't the answer and you only have to look at his 
contribution when he came on. Whilst the other 2 subs made an impact, Roca 
fluffed a shot and then looked painfully off the pace. I don't even think the 
lad is a premier league player. 
After a few great games, Ayling was awful and I;m sure he must have been on the 
piss Friday night cos he was giving the ball away for fun and he doesn't do 
that very often. 
Firpo is showing us that he does have a role but I still worry when he has to 
defend. 
The new manager seems like a nice bloke but nice blokes don't usually win much. 
Need to see a performance against Chelsea.

Excellent result obviously. Sick of all the anti-Bamford tripe tbh, especially 
so when you consider how many chances Summerville misses? Hope Bamford can get 
a couple of goals soon to shut the trolls up!

[Michael Benjamin]

No one is pointing out that we saw something we have not seen for ages-- team 
management 
A game plan for the game according to needs and ability. 
A very smart and brave subbing. 
The team was and is still under pressure. But when that pressure went we saw 
what will be. Rutter is simply a bonnie footballer. There is so much talent 
there waiting to flower. 
We kept a clean sheet not by fluke and when one up we played the situation 
well. 
We need time & a modicum of luck

Yeah, McKennie/Adams is a foundation that needs to be built on; what needs to 
happen now is to drill ways of creating chances into the team - you know, like 
how Bill used to bring the ball forward and give it to Raph, who’d lay it off 
inside of him, at which point Bill would either run with it, play it forward to 
Paddy or play it back to Raph on the wing, depending on which looked better as 
the team moved forward and stretched the play…

Re: [LU] Southampton - WE WON

[Simon McNally via Leedslist]

Agreed.
I don’t see the Adams / McKennie lack of creativity as necessarily a bad thing. 
They are both solid defensively and steady in possession. It gives us a solid 
platform to build on and as long as we can find creativity in other areas we’ll 
still create chances.
I don’t think we’ve seen the best of Roca so far. The frantic, rushed style of 
Marsch doesn’t really suit him. Hopefully a more patient, structured build up 
will play to his strengths more.

repeat it , we won , a premier league game in 2023, ok we were poor or to quote 
a Belfast Saints fan on our train " Leeds were fucking shit" , but they were 
worse, and even more importantly we WON
Not the prettiest of games and apart from  the goal by unlikely hero Junior  
Firpo it is very forgettable but all that counted was the final score and we 
won 
They were the typical bottom half team full of timewasting,  shit housing and 
faking  injury - 3 times in the first half a saints player went down hurt, got 
helped off but was fit to return the second he passed the white line,  it must 
have magic healing powers.  The ref not only fell for it but only added one 
minute at the end of the half. Strangely all that changed in the 78th minute 
when suddenly they were running off the pitch to help retrieve the ball, 
amazing what conceding a goal does 
We pretty  much dominated the whole game  but struggled to create real clear 
chances,  Ayling volleyed wide and over from a tight angle,  Harrison ( poor 
again) hit over, aaronson pulled a weak shot wide, Mckennie also volleyed over 
and Bamford forget altogether that he is allowed to shoot / try to score.
Perhaps our best opportunity came when Bamford harried the defender and  
mckennie did well to take the ball off them and burst forward with Aaronsson 
alongside him. He could have shot himself,  would have been easy to get on  
target but he chose to lay it off to aaronson,  not necessarily the worse 
decision but the execution was awful and he passed behind him and the chance 
went begging.  Even worse they ended up having their only shot of the half as 
they got a breakaway after aaronson lost the ball 
The fans were pretty much solidly behind the team and gave them every 
encouragement although there was a very nervous feel to it all and plenty of 
groans as Harrison and Bamford had shockers.  Koch and Wober were untroubled at 
the back however and 0 0 started to look like it was nailed on, a result that 
would not have helped us.
Then some quality,  Summerville had the ball out wide by the corner flag ( are  
you watching Jesse?)  and hemmed in by two players put a lovely ball through to 
Harrison,  who redeemed himself a bit with a lovely back heel to Firpo who took 
one touch then lashed it home,  ok maybe not lashed but he shot on target and 
the ball trickled through a defender and under the keeper.  Cue absolute 
pandemonium,  the crowd went wild, " junior Firpo s name reverberated around ER.
Could we hang on, could we get a second ? The first  bit was easy as they 
offered nothing and the clock ran down.  As for a second goal a flick on by 
Rutter set Summerville free and his shot flew just wide , at 0 0 he would have 
got stick for not passing to the unmarked Harrison but at 1 up with seconds to 
go we forgave him. The final whistle went and we had won. 

Re: [LU] Southampton - WE WON

[Simon McNally via Leedslist]

Not much to add to that Dave.
I thought we looked far more controlled in possession, apparently our pass 
success rate what 85% which is higher than in any of the games Marsch managed.
I was pleased that we avoided giving away any daft free kicks near the box for 
Ward Prowse to exploit.
I think this is also the only time I can remember where we’ve been leading by a 
goal going into injury time and haven’t given up a single chance.
Still question marks about a few of our players, specifically Aaronson and 
Harrison but on the plus side, Koch dominated their 6’7” forward abd Wober was 
excellent again. There’s not much creativity in the Adams / McKennie 
partnership but they are very difficult to play through. Both very quick to 
close down and tackle. I wonder what Gracia does when Roca is fully fit - maybe 
he plays instead of Aaronson and McKennie plays at 10.
It’s easy to get carried away after winning but Southampton we’re truly awful.
Hopefully we put up a good showing in the cup and take some good form to 
Chelsea next week.

Subject: [LU] Southampton - WE WON

We won !  I love saying that so I will repeat it , we won , a premier league 
game in 2023, ok we were poor or to quote a Belfast Saints fan on our train " 
Leeds were fucking shit" , but they were worse, and even more importantly we WON
Not the prettiest of games and apart from  the goal by unlikely hero Junior  
Firpo it is very forgettable but all that counted was the final score and we won
They were the typical bottom half team full of timewasting,  shit housing and 
faking  injury - 3 times in the first half a saints player went down hurt, got 
helped off but was fit to return the second he passed the white line,  it must 
have magic healing powers.  The ref not only fell for it but only added one 
minute at the end of the half. Strangely all that changed in the 78th minute 
when suddenly they were running off the pitch to help retrieve the ball, 
amazing what conceding a goal does
We pretty  much dominated the whole game  but struggled to create real clear 
chances,  Ayling volleyed wide and over from a tight angle,  Harrison ( poor 
again) hit over, aaronson pulled a weak shot wide, Mckennie also volleyed over 
and Bamford forget altogether that he is allowed to shoot / try to score.
Perhaps our best opportunity came when Bamford harried the defender and  
mckennie did well to take the ball off them and burst forward with Aaronsson 
alongside him. He could have shot himself,  would have been easy to get on  
target but he chose to lay it off to aaronson,  not necessarily the worse 
decision but the execution was awful and he passed behind him and the chance 
went begging.  Even worse they ended up having their only shot of the half as 
they got a breakaway after aaronson lost the ball
The fans were pretty much solidly behind the team and gave them every 
encouragement although there was a very nervous feel to it all and plenty of 
groans as Harrison and Bamford had shockers.  Koch and Wober were untroubled at 
the back however and 0 0 started to look like it was nailed on, a result that 
would not have helped us.
Then some quality,  Summerville had the ball out wide by the corner flag ( are  
you watching Jesse?)  and hemmed in by two players put a lovely ball through to 
Harrison,  who redeemed himself a bit with a lovely back heel to Firpo who took 
one touch then lashed it home,  ok maybe not lashed but he shot on target and 
the ball trickled through a defender and under the keeper.  Cue absolute 
pandemonium,  the crowd went wild, " junior Firpo s name reverberated around ER.
Could we hang on, could we get a second ? The first  bit was easy as they 
offered nothing and the clock ran down.  As for a second goal a flick on by 
Rutter set Summerville free and his shot flew just wide , at 0 0 he would have 
got stick for not passing to the unmarked Harrison but at 1 up with seconds to 
go we forgave him. The final whistle went and we had won. The after match 
atmosphere was amazing , singing on the bus and proper party time at Moots 
Hall, incredible how a win makes everything great ( did I mention we WON)

So not the greatest, but 3 points was all that mattered and we got them all. So 
out of the bottom 3. The new manager has work to do but this gives him a 
platform,  we need more from Bamford,  Harrison needs to get back to his best, 
aaranson still needs to bulk up, and Mckennie and Adams need to shoot more, but 
in a game we had to win, we WON and for a few days at least all is well with 
the world

[John Boocock]

The view from the armchair was pretty good too. As Dave says we won, and 
when me and my mate Broughie entered one of our two local pubs we let 
everyone know (especially the Crag Rats who seem to descend on the 
Northern Pennines more often still since Lockdown.


I am still not convinced by Aaranson, he has flashes of brilliance but 
then quickly goes off the boil. I am very impressed with Wobel, he is 
fit, hard to beat and accurate. Broughie and I thought that Ayling 
(apart from his shot at row W -and even that failed) is playing well 
recently, although his best is probably only 85% in some people's eyes, 
but we are where we are.


Some great work rates on the field too. I haven't seen the stats but it 
looked to me as if we had the better of all the one on ones. The 
shithouserie from Southampton shows just how desperate they are. That 
big galoot they have up front cost them £18 mill, remind me again how 
much Willie cost.


Very satisfied as my hangover this morning proves.

We won!
