[LU] Luton first half

2019-11-23 Thread {broken-address} Richard walker
As usual, we’ve had all the pressure and all the chances but have failed to 
convert with Bamford and Harrison being guilty of bad misses. Hernandez looks 
lively but at the back Beradi is playing as a left back and at times looks to 
be struggling against the pace of Luton’s right winger.

Dallas looks a bit lost in left midfield and Roberts short passing game just 
hasn’t got going yet. 

I think we’ll win this bit they do look dangerous on the attack and we look 
shaky from corners.

Where’s Eddie when you need him? Has he had his bollocks untwisted yet ?

First beer of the day in hand ... Ilkley pale ale , very nice.

[LU] Luton ont’interweb

2019-11-23 Thread {broken-address} Richard walker
Yee !

Great result but make no mistake this was a hard game and we struggled second 
half against a poor Luton team. Izzy Brown for me was the best midfielder on 
the park and I was very glad he was subbed because he was running us ragged and 
created their goal.

For me, we lost our way 2nd half and that hasn’t happened many times this 
season. I thought the last ball and some of our passing today was woeful. I 
also thought defensively we were poor ( except White who was a one man defence 
at times). Ayling was really poor and Beradi had his worst game for Leeds. He 
looked slow and I’ve never said that. 

We still had chance after chance but most of our efforts were rolled tamely 
into the keeper’s arms.

It’s very interesting that mindset settled this game. Luton, having equalised 
and having their best football of the game suddenly realised that a point would 
be a good result. They took their best player off and sat back, that helped us 
get ourselves together and get the winner. Bad management from them.

Scores:

Casilla - 6. One decent save and no chance with the goal

Ayling - 3. I thought he was really poor, he looks shaky and hesitant and I 
would put Dallas straight back in that position.

White - 8. Was a one man defence at times.

Beradi - 3.  I think that was his worst performance for Leeds. Was he playing 
centre back or left back , I don’t think he knew and he really struggled 
against a lively Luton winger , who also was strangely taken off2nd half

Philips - 5. I think it was interesting to see him up against Izzy Brown and at 
times he struggled. Brown has acceleration and that bit extra, Kalvin doesn’t 
however in the other hand Izzy went off, probably cos he was knackered, whereas 
Kalvin was still putting tackles and pushing forward to the end. I just wish 
Kalvin had a bit more pace. Not his best game.

Hernandez - 7. Lively, had loads of the ball.  Loads of lose passes but he was 
there and he made things happen.

Klich - 5. You can never accuse Klich of doing nothing, he’s everywhere but 
today his passing and link up play was poor and he had 2 great goal scoring 
chances and he fluffed them. He’s lost that aspect of his game for now.

Dallas - 6. Looked lost playing left midfield. Still did a lot of good stuff 
but give him the right back position.

Harrison- 5. Missed the easiest chance of the game and as usual promised a lot 
but delivered little.

Bamford - 7. Good to see him on the scoresheet but he really should have had a 
hat trick today. Missed a real sitter second half when he volleyed over from 5 
yards.

Roberts- 3. Nothing happened for Roberts today. Sometimes his football is just 
a bit too clever.

Subs :

Costa - 5. Yes he got on the ball in good positions but like Harrison he just 
didn’t deliver.

Clarke - 5. It was good to see him play but it was immediately clear that his 
first thought was to turn inside and play the ball back rather than run at the 
defence. He wouldn’t have considered that last season needs to get his 
confidence back.

Cooper - 7. Steadied us and won some good challenges and did some great cross 
pitch passes.

So overall, this was a fantastic performance but it was worrying the way we 
lost our way 2nd half. I think fucking about with the defensive formation , 
changing 4 to 3 then back.

Vino time.

He did well but ultimately it was an off target shot and that was the best he 
conjured up all game. I think he's got promise but at the moment I think he 
needs a bit of coaching on how to play in the box.

 Fair?!! Alisoski went to retrieve a ball that one of their coached refuse to 
give back and got head butted for it. Very poor reporting on that point.
Earlier Alioski had appeared to shove a member of Brentford’s staff when 
collecting a loose ball. “That incident might need looking into,’ said Smith, 
who noted the home crowd’s furious indignation at the stoppage time dismissal 
of Leeds’ Luke Ayling for his second bookable offence, namely a foul on Alan 
Judge.

The other thing is that folks saying how poor we are (!) and yet Brentford also 
gave away the ball countless times. Also they did not have many clear cut 
chances at all after the first 10 minutes.

 Don't know if Harrison being lightweight is fair. Their left back was very 
good. Sometimes you have just to give credit where credit is due.

Ayling was a bag of shite all game
Pontus had one of his best games
Harrison was lightweight and invisible for much of it
They didn’t run the midfield in the first half…it was a 50-50 thing…Klich was 
causing them as many nightmares as they were causing us, but he faded badly.

 I am not a Phillips fan but I thought tis was his best game in ages. And 
Alisoski won the free kick that led to the goal and and took the free kisk. 
Also thought this was his best game. Ayling poor thoughout.

 Down to 3rd and form since Pablo got injured which is distinctively 
Heckingbottomish (lower mid table)

I've said it before and I'll say it again but that starting 11 will be lucky to 
make the play offs and today, for the first 70 minutes it was clear that we 
were second best. Our passing was terrible led by Luke Ayling whose performance 
levels have been plummeting all season. Yes I would say that since he arrived, 
he has been a great signing but I'd say at the moment he's not worth his place 
in the team. For the first 20 minutes he hit new lows as all his passes went 
astray, he was out of position frequently and then had to foul to recovery his 
position putting us under pressure. Hopefully he'll come back strong after the 
break. 

Mind you, he wasn't the only one who was finding them second best to a very 
good Brentford team. With Brentford completely dominating midfield we struggled 
to create with Allioski and Harrison ineffective and isolated and an unbalanced 
left side with Dallas filling in for the injured Douglas who I thought we 
missed. Too many times Dallas pushed forward leaving holes at the back and it 
was left to Jansson to mop up. Playing Dallas at left back was just a very poor 
managerial decision and all about accommodation of a player who is in Bielsa's 
22 rather than selecting Pearce who isn't a great defender (although as good as 
Dallas) but would have provided much better balance. I thought Bielsa was 
better than that. We did have one or two chances the best falling to Philips 
who was denied by a great point blank save by their keeper. At the other end 
they hit the bar and Peacock made a great save to deny them. 

The ref didn't help and from the start you could see he just didn't have 
control of the game. Every free-kick was contentious and it seemed he was 
reacting to players and the crowd for his decision rather than being on top of 
it. Refs like that will ruin games and this ref should be sent back to 
non-league to learn his trade before he ever takes charge of a league match.
Second half wasn't much better and Brentford continued to have the best chances 
and look the more likely to score. Their goal looked at the time to be a 
definite pen and I thought Peacock might have got his marching orders but 
looking at it this morning their player conned the ref, however I don't blame 
him for that decision just the 100 others that he got wrong. 
The subs for Leeds - Clarke for Dallas, Forshaw for Siaz and Baker for Klich 
did change things. Allioski went to left back and did ok and in midfield we 
looked quicker and stronger and for the first time in the game we began to 
control things in midfield and create chances. It made me realise that the 
midfield of Siaz, Philips and Klich is too pedestrian. 
 We finally got the goal we deserved for some good play in the last 20 minutes 
with Jansson stooping to nod over the keeper into the net. Queue some scenes in 
the stands and on the pitch.
Scores:
Peacock - 7. One or two decent saves, good kicking and also one or two moments 
of confusion with his defence.
Ayling - 3. Very poor. His passing has deserted him and he looks vulnerable at 
the back. Weak link today. 
Dallas - 3. Kept going forward on his right foot leaving holes in the defence. 
Huge mistake to play him at left back. 
Cooper - 4. Bad mistake for their pen. Same old Cooper will fuck up when the 
pressure is on. 
Jansson - 8. Held us together time and time again. 
Philips - 5. Battled hard but offers little. 
Klich - 5. Definitely not himself today. 
Siaz - 4. Didn't contribute. 
Harrison - 4. Don't rate him. He has no real pace and rarely beats his man. 
Allioski - 5. Offered nothing going forward but when moved to left back he 
seemed to be more at home. 
Subs:
Clarke - LIke the look of the lad. A tall James Milner type player.
Forshaw - Does everything Philips can't
Baker - decent free-kick and he looks like a player to me. 

Did we deserve a point ? I don't think so. Brentford are a better side than us 
and I think we will slip out of the play off places if we continue with this 
starting 11.

I don’t think we’re being hyper critical by pointing out the fact that passing 
a ball seems beyond Ayling (for one). Like Rich, I thought we didn’t deserve 
even a point, but was ecstatic when Pontus scored. First half we kind of 
matched Brentford - second half was a very different story. What Bielsa has 
done with the resources at hand has been miraculous, but when Dallas is first 
reserve at left back the deficiencies in the squad are pretty clear. 

The ref was bad, for both teams, but Ayling was stupid beyond belief - 20 
seconds from the end kicking one of their players on the thigh with studs 
showing! What an utter bell-end! OK, the ref was rubbish, and was conned for 
the penalty (although there was contact) but that’s just an excuse really - no 
doubt Janssons post match interview will land him in bother, but if he thinks 
the ref robbed us he is seriously deluded! 

There is plenty to hope for with this team, and maybe reality is that we’re not 
strong enough yet, but if we can get a couple of decent ball players and 
integrate a couple of the juniors then it looks good. Passing the ball to our 
own players is a must though!

in the team. For the first 20 minutes he hit new lows as all his passes went 
astray, he was out of position frequently and then had to foul to recovery his 
position putting us under pressure. Hopefully he'll come back strong after the 
break. 

Mind you, he wasn't the only one who was finding them second best to a very 
good Brentford team. With Brentford completely dominating midfield we struggled 
to create with Allioski and Harrison ineffective and isolated and an unbalanced 
left side with Dallas filling in for the injured Douglas who I thought we 
missed. Too many times Dallas pushed forward leaving holes at the back and it 
was left to Jansson to mop up. Playing Dallas at left back was just a very poor 
managerial decision and all about accommodation of a player who is in Bielsa's 
22 rather than selecting Pearce who isn't a great defender (although as good as 
Dallas) but would have provided much better balance. I thought Bielsa was 
better than that. We did have one or two chances the best falling to Philips 
who was denied by a great point blank save by their keeper. At the other end 
they hit the bar and Peacock made a great save to deny them. 

The ref didn't help and from the start you could see he just didn't have 
control of the game. Every free-kick was contentious and it seemed he was 
reacting to players and the crowd for his decision rather than being on top of 
it. Refs like that will ruin games and this ref should be sent back to 
non-league to learn his trade before he ever takes charge of a league match.
Second half wasn't much better and Brentford continued to have the best chances 
and look the more likely to score. Their goal looked at the time to be a 
definite pen and I thought Peacock might have got his marching orders but 
looking at it this morning their player conned the ref, however I don't blame 
him for that decision just the 100 others that he got wrong. 
The subs for Leeds - Clarke for Dallas, Forshaw for Siaz and Baker for Klich 
did change things. Allioski went to left back and did ok and in midfield we 
looked quicker and stronger and for the first time in the game we began to 
control things in midfield and create chances. It made me realise that the 
midfield of Siaz, Philips and Klich is too pedestrian. 
 We finally got the goal we deserved for some good play in the last 20 minutes 
with Jansson stooping to nod over the keeper into the net. Queue some scenes in 
the stands and on the pitch.
Scores:
Peacock - 7. One or two decent saves, good kicking and also one or two moments 
of confusion with his defence.
Ayling - 3. Very poor. His passing has deserted him and he looks vulnerable at 
the back. Weak link today. 
Dallas - 3. Kept going forward on his right foot leaving holes in the defence. 
Huge mistake to play him at left back. 
Cooper - 4. Bad mistake for their pen. Same old Cooper will fuck up when the 
pressure is on. 
Jansson - 8. Held us together time and time again. 
Philips - 5. Battled hard but offers little. 
Klich - 5. Definitely not himself today. 
Siaz - 4. Didn't contribute. 
Harrison - 4. Don't rate him. He has no real pace and rarely beats his man. 
Allioski - 5. Offered nothing going forward but when moved to left back he 
seemed to be more at home. 
Subs:
Clarke - LIke the look of the lad. A tall James Milner type player.
Forshaw - Does everything Philips can't
Baker - decent free-kick and he looks like a player to me. 

Did we deserve a point ? I don't think so. Brentford are a better side than us 
and I think we will slip out of the play off places if we continue with this 
starting 11.

Hard to argue with that Rich. Ayling was utterly shite - his passing has been 
shite for weeks, but his positives outweighed the negatives until today. His 
sending off capped a shit afternoon. I hope Bielsa will have a rethink about 
the fannying around at the back - he must have shat himself when Cooper was 
doing his oak tree impression!

We were very lucky to get a point, despite the penalty that shouldn’t have 
been. 

Siaz is so slow - that’s why he’s playing in England in the second tier and 
not in Spain. 

Found out by a better ‘team’ for sure, but we didn’t lose, so if this speeds up 
the introduction of younger players in their ‘natural’ position rather than 
seeing Dallas criss crossing the pitch then getting caught out time and again, 
then maybe some good will come from it?

Surely Bielsa must see the dangers of inadequate players trying to play out 
from the back against good pressing teams?

2018-10-04 Thread {broken-address}
Funny what we see, as I thought Phillips had a decent>good game. Ayling’s 
passing, particularly early in games, is shocking though. I thought it was a 6 
out of 10 watch - started ok but so many misplaced passes and poor finishing 
meant it had that frustrating feel about it from very early on, and aside from 
Roberts’ shot we were very poor in front of goal/final third.

Still top though :-)

 Alioski infuriates me too sometimes but as Dave said he is continuously 
involved (and I do not think his missed chance was that easy with the angle he 
had. People just say stuff because it is him. Some of the social media comments 
are just ludicrous.) last night he made three great challenges near our own box

Ayling I thought he was really poor first half last night and I think he has 
started slowly in a few games this season but overall I’d say he’s been one of 
our best signings of recent years.

But if we’re talking premier league / England you’re having a laugh.

No I think some of the passing and play was bloody awful. We were by far the 
better side throughout in a poor game but it took a great strike from Tyler 
Roberts to win it.
Hull were the worst team we've played this season.
My Scores:
Peacock - 7 didn't have much to do. Collected a cross confidently late on plus 
got his legs in the way in a late scramble as we panicked Milwall style late 
on. 
Ayling - 5. First half was his worst of the season and he's getting a rep for 
starting very slowly. His passing was off and he should have had a goal. 
Douglas - 7. I thought he was solid throughout. Hope his injury isn't bad.
Cooper - 7. Nearly one fuck up with Peacock first half but in general not 
troubled apart from a couple of crosses. 
Jansson - 8. Our best defender. I wish he wouldn't feign injury though. 
Siaz - 7. Did ok but again a yard short to really hurt them.
Kilch - 8. I thought he was consistent throughout and was still chasing down 
the ball in injury time. 
Philips - 5. On the occassions Hull broke from midfield they left him for dead. 
He's just playing as a luxury, additional defender. 
Allioski - 2. Apart from run round and cause a bit of chaos I thought he was 
incredibly poor. He's not a left winger. Should have scored first half. 
Harrison - 4. Didn't really contribute first half. Second half a couple of 
decent crosses and link up play but overall disappointing. 
Roberts - 7. I like Roberts, he runs around a lot, he closes down, he's got 
good control and can link up well (see his deft lay off for Allioski's chance 
first half). His goal was a great strike and I get the impression that goals 
like this will be more common than the 2 yard tap-ins. My only criticism is 
that he looks a little casual at times and he gave the ball away cheaply at 
times. 
Subs:
Dallas - came on at right wing but then had to go to left back when Douglas got 
injured. Did ok. 
Forshaw - tidy with a few mistakes. Rather than look at Forshaw as a 
replacement for Siaz I'd play him instead of Philips. Offers much more.
It's a good win and we're top but I don't think this starting 11 will get 
promotion. With Hernandez back and a decent winger I think we're top 6.

[LU] Hull

2018-10-02 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
Watching on LUTV - when the passing game comes off it looks great (Sheffield 
Wed) when it doesn’t it’s bloody awful.

Tonight so far has been pretty awful. The passing from Ayling and Allioski has 
been nothing short of shocking. Allioski for me has turned in the worst 45 mins 
I've seen for a long time. Miscontrol, overhit passes and crosses and when put 
in brilliantly by Roberts he put the ball across the box when it was easier to 
score. 

The Leeds fans were shouting the ground down in the first 10 minutes and 
deathly silent for the last 10 mins. Very frustrating.

I don’t think this team is promotion material. Yes we are playing better and 
more confident but the basics are missing at times. 
I'm wondering whether Harrison is any better than Dallas ?
Having said that Hull are shite and I fully expect us to win.

Apart from Dallas's half decent shot Late on I don't remember their keeper 
having to make a decent save in 98 minutes of football so you can forget the 
stats as far as I'm concerned.

I've just remembered, Ryan Edmonson came on and this might be harsh given its 
his debut and he was coming on to chase the game but I wouldn't expect too much 
from this lad. Not sure he touched the ball but he looked slow and didn't win 
anything in the air. Think John Pearson

Re: [LU] Brum

2018-09-23 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
Had too much beer pre-match to do a comprehensive and accurate report but my 
overriding thought from the North East Upper was Brum were big, strong and 
highly organised with a couple of lively players up front. Just about 
everything you would expect from a Gary Monk team. Coupled with the fact I 
thought everyone of our players had a poor game so much so that I'd give our 
MOTM to Dallas who came on late and actually made their keeper do something in 
8 minutes of injury time (was it really or was that the beer ?).

It comes back to the lone striker up front problem at home and when you're 
playing with Philips as a mopping up 3rd central defender then it makes sense 
that if you're gonna struggle. Roberts who was tidy with possession never 
looked like scoring because he rarely got into the box.

I don't think that team yesterday is good enough for promotion and if you look 
at the results since we lost Pablo it's mid table form and that's where I 
expect us to end up without a decent striker and Pablo.

Disappointing.

Re: [LU] Preston

2018-09-19 Thread {broken-address}
We’re not always perfect to watch, but fuck me we are exciting! At the start of 
the Bielsa Project he specifically said we might give the ball away at times 
but we’d fight to get it back. Ayling, 4 times in the first 15 minutes, bought 
into this philosophy big time! Cooper too to a lesser extent. However, the way 
we work and work and work is a revelation, and exciting. OK, Preston could have 
scored a couple early on, but we deserved a sackful last night.

Either Clarke or Edmundson should have got a trot out last night, and maybe 
both, but for the first time in years I’m happy to concede we have a manager 
who knows more than me, so presumably there’s some method at play?

Roberts was a bit part player for long periods, but 2 goals will really help 
him. Harrison has started to impress too - very nimble feet - there’s a bit of 
a Carl Harris in the making. I thought Phillips had one of his best games last 
night - the odd error, but mopped up nicely and ran and ran! 

One thing I would be critical off, aside from giving the ball away in our half, 
is the quality of crossing from the left - Alioski and also Douglas need to get 
practising!

One other thing too - the pointless bookings. I did quite like our time-wasting 
later on after the farting around PNE employed, but the daft trips will cost us 
later in the season if it continues - Alioski, Saiz take note!

Watching it on the red button is crap though - one camera, no close-ups, no 
replays, and a commentator bred in Dullsville!

 Lol ...  yes I was going to say that it was without doubt the worst 2 goal 
performance I've ever seen. Only Becchio could come close to it, however I do 
think we have take into account his lack of football over the last 12 months. I 
think Saturday is a big game for Roberts.

[LU] Preston

2018-09-19 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
could have been 7. Apart from first 10 mins and 5 minutes in 2nd half we were 
much better team. Really good performance against a team who will be relegated 
this season.
Scores:
Peacock - 8. Not much to do.  One disallowed goal, a good early save, a few 
back pass type shots and one dodgy cross that he had to parry in first half
Ayling - 7. Shocking start where he just kept losing out but he steadied and 
played well 
Douglas - 7. Steady away - decent going forward
Cooper - 8. One dodgy pass that put us under ressure but overall great 
defending. Scored as well, really cant expect anymore from a captain and you 
have to say that he is one of the most improved players from last season. 
Jansson - 9. Rock solid defending. Back to his best
Siaz - 9. At the heart of everything. Needs a goal.
Philips - 8. One or two dodgy passes and tackles but overall I thought he was 
very impressive albeit against pedestrian opposition.
Klich - 8. Should have had 2 but overall I thought he was very impressive. He's 
strong, plays great football and is a strong runner. I think he's a great 
player. See his cross for Robert's second goal.
Allioski - 7. Lively but annoying. 
Harrison - 7. Lively first half, quiet second and should have had a goal after 
a great ball through from Siaz 
Roberts - 6. Really pleased for the lad. He took his goal well after a good 
goal from Philips and then looked like he wanted the ball. He was terrible 
first half and I would have considered taking him off but all credit to him. 
Hopefully he can kick on against Brum.
Subs - not on long.

Only disappointment for me is Roberts who just looks like a player without

Spot on Michael, and the fact that Miwwahl are moaning about everything like 
big jessies makes it doubly pleasurable.

Before this season started, with the fixture list as it was, I firmly believed 
we’d be in the bottom 6 by now. Whilst my first priority is to see us get 
enough points to be safe, so far this season has been a revelation. 

Too early to say whether we can stay on top, but it’ll do for now :-)

say was the poorest we’ve played in the last 3 seasons  and that’s fucking 
saying something. Cooper , Jansson , Ayling and Douglass - it was like watching

Actually, no I’m sticking to my guns, we were shit today, v. Lucky to get a

Re: [LU] Millwall

2018-09-15 Thread {broken-address}
Before the game I said that of our injured players we might miss Berardi the 
most, as he's always up for a physical battle. I was wrong. Jansson didn't go 
missing today (although he played a couple of too casual passes). He and Cooper 
were immense in defence. No, the players we missed the most were Hernandez and, 
especially, Roofe. Roberts is a young lad coming back from a long layoff, so I 
don't want to harp on his weaknesses too much. Suffice it to say I'd back the 
Championship player of the month to have bagged at least one or two of the 
chances Roberts squandered. We also missed Pablo's creativity. Harrison took 
his goal well, but didn't do too much else besides.It's fairly obvious that 
there's a significant drop-off in quality beyond Bielsa's preferred first XI 
(plus maybe Jansson). 
I also felt (as I did after the 'Boro game) that too often we opted for the 
long ball when there were (or should have been) other options. We have one of 
the smallest group of attackers in the division, so the point of lofting the 
ball up so they can compete with the opposition's center-halves is lost on me. 
So much of our good play has come from playing neat, confident triangles out of 
defence. Let's stick to that.
Cheers!
Sean

Frustrating or a master stroke from MB ? Rich ?

Also watched on a dodgy stream - on 85 mins I whatsapp'd my mates and said even 
though it would be the same end result as last year it was a much better 
performance and no reason for it to collapse our season - we have not been 
'found out'
Then clutching at straws I said there would be lots of time added on but that 
we would not score ! 10 seconds later - Harrison thrown up front gets the goal
Having said that how the f8ck we survived the last couple of minutes I do not 
know - we would not have got a point in this game in the past (and indeed we 
didn't)
So with Boro losing we are top on our own -even if only by one point- and have 
two winnable home games, if we play to our potential, even with the injuries we 
should beat Preston and Birmingham
Happy enough in the end

what a pile of shite. I think the best thing I could say is that they're 
certainly not bullying us out of it mainly cos they are shit. Long throws as 
per Boro are their main tactic. 
we've tried to play but the obsession with passing it around at the back has 
caused our main problems. the players aren't good enough to play that game 
under pressure in a game like this. 
We've created little , the best chance falling to Roberts just before half-time 
when he ran for a ball, he was second best to win it but it fell for him and he 
placed it towards the goal but it hit hte keeper and didn't have the pace. Not 
surprisingly Roberts has looked a tad lightweight but he's had no service. 
Harrison has hardly touched the ball in their half. 
Allioski has made some good runs but guess what ? everytime off-side. Wish he 
would grow some brain cells.
Difficult to call this one, but I suspect one of their long throws wll 
eventually fall on Morrisons head. Just hope we can score at the other end. We 
have defended well at times with Jansson and Cooper.

Yeah maybe mate. A few glasses of vino Tinto have mellowed me but I still 
believe that the performance today was simply not good enough.

And when you’re talking about defending you’ve got to look at their goal, the 
long throw-in and what a dog’s dinner we made of it. Also, the last 5 mins I’d 
say was the poorest we’ve played in the last 3 seasons  and that’s fucking 
saying something. Cooper , Jansson , Ayling and Douglass - it was like watching 
the fucking circus.

Actually, no I’m sticking to my guns, we were shit today, v. Lucky to get a 
point against what I thought was a v. Poor Millwall team. We can’t pretend that 
this was good enough. Without Pablo we are not the same team,

 Dave, we have to be real here, this was no masterstoke. Those last 5 minutes 
were embarassing. we didn't know how to cope and we didn't know what we were 
doing. Also, there's talk we are the fittest team in the league. No way, we 
were fucked.

Re: [LU] Millwall

2018-09-15 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
 Yep great goal from Harrison who I thought was poor throughout. 
I didn't see last year's game but I listened on RL and by all accounts we were 
bullied out of it. Well, that was never the case today however I thought the 
game highlighted to me that we are not good enough and we just lacked quality 
all over the pitch and trying to overplay from the back in a game like this is 
only going to work if you have quality. 
I found the all game totally frustrating. We had nothing going forward and 
every last pass was either overhit or just misplaced. This was our worst 
performance of the season. 
And as for the fitness factor, well we were fucked in the last 5 minutes and 
injury time was just embarrassing as they played the most basic chip it into 
the box football but we just seemed incapable of defending it. Our keeper was 
nowhere and it was only really shit finishing that prevented an injury time 
winner for them. Elliot (remember him) hit the post with yet another free 
header in the box. We just collapsed. 
I'm listening to Radio Leeds now and it's all 'we would have never have got 
anything from this last year' - maybe ?  and a draw, still unbeaten and still 
top of the league (I think) cannot be grumbled at but for me, this was nowhere 
near good enough and no better than a lot of performances I saw last year. 
Scores:
Peacock - 4. When we were flapping at the end he did nothing. Awful keeping 
Ayling -4. Defending poor and actually had our best chance but fluffed it. 
Douglas - 5. Not effective going forward, defending desperate and his set 
pieces are awful. 
Jansson - 7. I thought he defended well throughout but like the rest he was 
knackered at the end. 
Cooper - 6. Did ok. 
Philips - 3. Totally ineffective. Subbed
Kilch - 4. Sunday stroll perfromance not good enough in games like this. 
Subbed. 
Siaz - 6. Tried his hardest and showed our only glimpses of quality. Hasn't got 
the legs though. 
Harrison - 5. All 5 for his goal which was spectacular but his performance was 
woeful. 
Allioski - 1. Offside, off-side, off fucking side. What a brainless twat. 
Roberts - 2. powder puff rubbish. Had chances and fluffed them all. 
Subs:
Baker, Forshaw and Dallas - all ineffective. 
Yes, I should be happy as I crack open a bottle of red but I'm not. I didn't 
enjoy this match and our performance was lacking. 
Anyone know what was happening on the sidelines with Harris and our bench ? 
Looking to the next matches, I think we have real problems with a striker 
option at the mo.

Re: [LU] injuries

2018-09-13 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
I wonder if the Hernandez and Roofe injuries a result of over training ?

I think this is Tyler Roberts’s big chance. He’s not a winger and has struggled 
playing out wide this season. A free, central role might just suit him? Unless 
Bielsa decides to play Roberts in Pablo’s position and one of the young lads up 
front ?

 While I see the logic in this I also feel that when we lost players last year 
we just brought in crap to replace, so extra bodies yes but a drop in quality. 
At least this way we will see if Roberts etc who have been playing with the 
squad since pre-season are fully integrated in the team. I guess the intent is 
that with a small squad the drop off in class should not be so great.
Just a bead game for this to happen though Millwall have been crap so far.

They came for draw and got one. That said, that should be a massive confidence

Agree with both of you to some extent, more on Nicks  side as regards my 
enjoyment and level of happinessI sent two texts to my wife which sum it up for 
me - at half time "0 0 more intriguing than exciting but so far so good. Settle 
now for 0 0 at the end"and then from the bus at the end - "ended 0 0 so content 
rather than happy.No chances either way - teams cancelled each other out but 
another hurdle crossed"
If I was the supposed 'neutral' watching this on TV I would have switched off 
at half time and gone and watched the grass grow BUT I was there live and the 
atmosphere generated by a full house and the tension in the game made it well 
worth watching and time seemed to fly by.
As Rich says it was like playing in the land of the giants, they really are a 
big team and whether it is 'anti football' or not they were physical niggly and 
time wasting throughout. They are also up there with the best this Division has 
to offer and I reckon if you finish above them you will be promoted (or at 
least 100% guarenteed play off place)

We are still very much a work in progress and still learning how to play 
against certain opposition. Whilst it is true we did not create a single clear 
cut chance and never worked the keeper they only hand a couple which BPF did 
well to save, and whilst I agree that he was MoM (or person of the match for 
the cricket lovers!!) that was more to do with his catching crosses and general 
play rather than making spectacular saves.
I was a bit surprised at the lack of subs especially given how quickly he made 
all 3 v Swansea but when discussing it with my mate during the match his theory 
was that it was so evenly matched that any substitution was almost an admission 
of failure - a sort of who blinks first type of thing. Whatever the truth of it 
I would have liked to see Bamford on with time to do something - Roofe was 
working his socks off but suffered from a total lack of good service and an 
inability to make things happen himself. Maybe I fall for the ex player always 
scores agianst his old team cliche but I did think Bamford could have given us 
the goal we craved
Like everyone I was worried, as I have been many games, that we would be 
vulnerable at corners and long throws / free kicks but once again we stood up 
to the battering (thanks in no small part to BPF) - in fact apart from Swansea 
when both Cooper and Pontus were missing, we have not conceded a goal from open 
play or a corner or long throw in 5 of the 6 games (one pen and one direct free 
kick) and only conceded 4 goals in 6 a great defensive record for a team that 
is all about attacking.
So a bit of a break and time to get Forshaw and Brown fit, and more importantly 
time for Bielsa to get stuck into the team (only a few will be off on 
international duty) and continue to get his ideas across. IT also means we will 
top of the league for a few more weeks minimum before we face another of the 
hurdles -Millwall a team that are fairly rubbish week in week out in front of a 
handful of fans but turn into world beaters in front of a full house when it is 
us in town
So  it was a result I would have taken at the start of the game and another 
challenge faced and just about passed

gs and fire the crosses in low and 
fast behind a turning defence, this was the one...on the other hand the ‘only 
thing’…and I know it is a big one…but the only thing missing from last night 
for us was a goal. We got tested under their dead ball / long throw game and 
didn’t buckle…this resilience has been a worry in recent weeks.

Allioski is tricky - he does tons of work for the team, tracking up and down 
the wing, covering his full back, and can be pretty good in the box (even 
headers) but he can be clueless as well, some of those offsides were 
unnecessary and stopped us pressing forward, putting them under pressure and 
relieving the defence.

Breradi had an immense first half - agree that our Keeper was our MOTM.

It was a disappointment I suppose, but it wasn’t a dull 0-0 draw. It was always 
tense and there was a lot of incident. It may say more about me, but I kind of 
enjoyed the game. And I’d have taken 14 points, unbeaten and top of the league 
after 6 games, if you’d have offered that at the start of the season (including 
being out of the League Cup).

I was disappointed at the way we so frequently opted for the long ball option 
out of defence. Not only did that seem to me very un-Bielsa like, but it made 
no sense against a team with such a height advantage (was I imagining it, or 
was half of their team taller than our tallest outfield player?). 


That being said, a draw suited us better - they needed to win to overtake us at 
the top. We kept a clean sheet against a side of bullies and retained our 
unbeaten record. That's good enough for me.

Roofe - 6. He's clearly a better and fitter player than last season. He is also 
stronger and is winning 50:50s that he would never have done last season. His

List,
Oldest girl is 22.  Graduated college this year.  working in Dublin.
Other girl is nearly 19.  Did Leaving Cert and starts medicine here in Galway 
next week.
Neither girl has the remotest interest in Leeds United, much to my continuing 
chagrin.  If I offered then a trip over to Leeds, they would probably both jump 
at it though.
James (on this list since July 1993 but have still to put together a full-ish

Re: [LU] MB after 5 league games

2018-08-26 Thread {broken-address}
I think there are a couple of factors:


1. He used every minute of pre-season to his advantage to get his points 
across: Three training sessions a day, plus lots of off-the-pitch work. Notice 
how his preferred starting XI, with the exception of Douglas, consists of 
players who were with him from day one. No way was a top-class (for the 
Championship) international defender like Jansson going to waltz straight back 
into the team after arriving later than the others.


2. He has the team supremely fit. I read an article that said Bielsa and his 
coaching staff aim to have the players' body fat percentage no higher than 11, 
which is considered the Premier League standard. Hence, no matter the score, 
it's Leeds that have been on the front foot in the last 20 minutes of first 
five Championship games.


Cheers!

Subject: [LU] MB after 5 league games

So how exactly has MB transformed a very average Championship team/squad into 
what is arguably the best team play we have seen since we were relegated from 
the premier league (and maybe some time before that!)So what, exactly, has he 
done to create this transformation? Having watched a couple of games in full, 
it seems to me that he has trained and told the players to do 2 things (quite 
simply): 1. When you don’t have the ball, press fast and keep hassling til you 
get the ball back. 2. When you get the ball, pass it very quickly and then move 
into a supporting space to receive it. Now both of these things sound really 
simple: it was what I was told to do when I was being coached as a lad. But it 
ain’t as easy as they are making it look. So, how is it that they can now do 
it, when they couldn’t last season (and the 10 seasons prior to that)?

The thing that I liked the most about today was Siaz for me was again off the 
pace but we still looked dangerous every time we attacked and that wouldn’t 
have happened last season.
Also Bamford start against Boro for me. Roofe busy but ineffective.

One of my concerns remains the small physical size of our players. Looking at 
the stats from the Swansea game, the only number in which Swansea enjoyed a 
significant advantage over us was in aerial duels won.

Re: [LU] Swansea from the armchair

2018-08-22 Thread {broken-address}
For what it’s worth (essentially nowt) I see Roofe doing well against weaker 
teams, but there’s no doubt Bamford is a better footballer. He has a bit more 
class up front than anyone else we have (and he should given he cost £10m ish). 
However Roofe has been a revelation so far, so even confirmed miserablists like 
me will say he owns the shirt at the moment. More problematic is the Saiz been 
man-marked and getting wound up scenario - we need more another creative option 
imho, especially as he’ll inevitably be banned at times.

Finally, isn’t it great to see a player like Shackleton come through? OK the 
odd error, but as things go I think he’s been tremendous. I hope Ryan Edmondson 
is training alongside Bamford - we need da yoof to step up if we’re not going 
to buy players in.

Top of the league seems ok to me though :-)

On the face of it no but I’m thinking longer term and Bamford fits the no 9 
shirt better for me. 

Roofe has improved and looks fitter however I still don’t think he has the 
presence to play that lone striker long term.

Hey all

Very pleased to announce the fact that on Thursday my wife Nicky gave birth to 
our first son and Leeds fan, Finlay (Finn) James Murray.

Finn and I watched the Rotherham game in hospital together and he was very 
pleased with our performance.

I am sure that he will think that us winning the league is just one of those 
things that happens routinely - which is how I felt in 1992.  I am so 
re-invigorated with Bielsa that I have bought an android box so that I dont 
have to miss any games this season from Perth - if they are not on that then 
they can be streamed on the leeds website.  I have also spent an unreasonable 
amount of cash on LUFC baby tat to dress the lad in.

Anyway, I am just telling everyone I know because I can't smile wide enough 
right now.

Re: [LU] Swansea from the armchair

2018-08-21 Thread {broken-address}
Pretty much sums up my views, but I’ll add that Harrison does not look like a 
winger to me? I don’t know what he brings tbh. Good result in a game which 
circumstance (Cooper) and our naive defending (2 at the back too often for 
comfort) made quite tricky. I think we can pretty much assume that running 
around alot is not going to be a surprise any more. Saiz - brought back views

[LU] Swansea from the armchair

2018-08-21 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
There were so many things wrong with that performance but who cares ? I was 
impressed by the way we ground out the result after we lost our captain in the 
warm up. As the game went into the last 20 minutes I thought we looked the 
fitter and more likely to score. Yes they had the best chance of the game but 
they were playing on the counter. Our attitude, fitness and positivity were 
there to see and there was absolutely no doubt that we were getting something 
from that game. That is a remarkable transformation from last season. 
Let's look at the positives. 
Taking Philips off after 25 mins was incredible. Have you ever known a manager 
do that ? Philips was terrible was getting overrun and was on a yellow. Moving 
Klitch back and putting on Baker was a great move. I thought Baker made a 
difference and some of his passing was excellent whereas Kiltch did everything 
Philips couldn't, winning the ball and starting attacking moves with 
intelligent balls forward.
Shackleton was brilliant especially for the first goal and he isn't scared to 
go forward. 
Some of the football at times was great pass and move football.
The Hernandez goal was top class. 
They had height and without Cooper we had none but we still challenged and made 
it hard for them. 
The negatives:
Kalvin Philips showing that against a team with pace that run at you he will 
struggle. 
Siaz for me was the biggest disappointment. He looked a yard short and 
struggled all night by his high standards and he also got booked for petulance 
late on. Same old Siaz. 
Ayling is no centre back . He gave it his all but I thought he looked out of 
his depth and was all over the place at times. 
Scores for me:
Peacock - 7. I thought he could hace saved the first goal but he made up with 2 
good saves late on. 
Shackleton - 8. Was under a lot of pressure when defending but came through 
well. I love this lad. 
Douglas - 6. I thought he also struggled a bit tonight 
Ayling - 5. Not a centre back 
Beradi - 8. Held us together at times and the way he wins the ball and drives 
forward typifies our team at the moment. 
Kiltch - 7. Steady, consistent - everything Philips wasn't. 
Philips - 1. Awful. 
Allioski - 3. Don't rate this lad. Just a shame Harrison didn't take his 
chance. 
Siaz - 5. Off the pace. 
Roofe - 7. Got his goal and you can't argue with that. 
Hernandes - 7. Frustrating at times the way he concedes possession but that 
goal was unbelievable. 
Subs:
Baker - 7. Definite promise with this lad. 
Bamford - 7. I thought he looked sharper and his run and pass for the 2nd goal 
was great. He looks like a real striker. 
Harrison - 4. Disappointing. Made some good runs but no end product. Not 
writing him off but he needs to do better. 
Bielsa - all 3 subs on by 60 minutes. that's risky and we've seen that go wrong 
before but he went for it and it worked. 
Very happy with us at the moment 
TOP OF THE LEAGUE and WE'RE GOING UP AS F'CKING CHAMPIONS.

 fair play to us for getting back in to it with a great run and cross from 
Shackleton.
and credit to Bielsa for pulling Phillips off after 20 mins. That's a great 
decision, Philips was awful. 
Allioski is a liability - brainless footballer, always off side. Hopefull he'll 
score now. 
It's just not we've come to expect but in reality it aint been that bad. Just 
average. Our defence looks very lightweight tonght though against a lively 
Swansea team.

[LU] Rotherham

2018-08-19 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
I watched the game in a drunken haze but here's my memory. 
Rotherham are a different team from what we have faced so far, in fact I'd say 
they are a proper championship team. Big lads who get stuck in and then one or 
two players who can break and hurt you. They were well organised in the first 
half and definitely nulled some of our play which was straight from the off as 
we've seen so far. It was interesting to me to see what happens and what fails 
when teams put men behind the ball and try to stop us playing. 
First off, Klitch never had the space and actually contributed very little 
apart from one long range effort. Siaz had less space but as always he made 
space and still contributed massively. Philips didn't have as easy and it was 
difficult at times for him to pick the passes to link up the midfield. On a 
couple of times he found an opposition player which put us immediately under 
pressure. 
Passing out from the back, which has been relatively straight forward so far, 
suddenly was a bit more difficult with Rotherham's tricky front players 
hassling us. One pass across goal landed straight to a Rotherham player and 
only a great save from Peackock prevented us from being one down. I like the 
idea of passing and building from the back but I don't think our central 
defenders are good enough ball players to do it and I think as the weather 
deteriorates with the pitches this will land us in bother. 
So it was harder but we stuck to it and still managed to play some decent stuff 
without troubling their keeper too much. 
Second half, they either tired or we stepped it up because we completely 
dominted and played football similar football to that against Derby and Stoke. 
Siaz should have scored from 5 yards out after a great move before Ayling put 
us in the lead 
Our second goal was simply brilliant. I rememeber Rod Wallace scoring that goal 
against Spurs where he took it on the left side ,beat 3 men and curled it in 
the right hand corner. A great individual goal that won goal of the season, 
well I thought our second yesterday was better. We passed and moved from the 
back to the point where Roof was played down the left. He still had loads to do 
but managed to nip past the defender and from a tight angle placed it the 
inside of the dar right net. A spectacular goal which really for me represented 
the transformation in the team and players that Bielsa has created in such 
little time. It's a remarkable impact that he has had in that every player 
looks confident about the way they are playing and he has transformed Roofe 
into a confident championship striker who is going to make it very frustrating 
for Bamford. 
One other thing I've noticed is that our discipline seems to be improved and 
there's not as much play acting from Allioski and the likes. Maybe that's cos 
things are going well and it remains to see what happens when we are trailing ?
Scores:
Peacock - 9. I thought he was excellent and Derby hopefully was a blip. He 
looked confident and he's alonso intelligent when kicking and passing out from 
the back.
Ayling - 8. First goal 
Cooper - 7. I think it was his back pass across goal that should have gifted 
them a goal. 
Beradi - 7. A decent shot and full blooded defending as usual 
Douglas - 7. Another decent performance getting forward as often as he could. 
He was up against their best player who hit the post and was quicker than him.
Philips - 6. A bit of the old Philips in the first game but still effective in 
that role. 
Siaz - 8. Not as much space but still behind our best play. 
Hernandes - 7. Busy
Kiltch - 6. Quiter and he's always the one that fades first. One decent shot 
first half. 
Allioski - 6. Some good crosses and ran around a bit. I'm not really a fan 
though and I would like to see Harrison get a go on the left. 
Roofe - 8. Only has 2 moments in the match, one was the brilliant goal and the 
other where he showed quick feet in the first half to create a chance which 
flew wide. He's definitely fitter and a yard sharper and the extra confidence 
is clear to see. Was I and others wrong when we said he wasn't ready for this 
level and couldn't play as a lone striker ? Maybe we were ? and long may it 
continue because I'm enjoying watching him now. 
Subs:
Baker - he put a 30 yarder in the top corner which the keeper would have never 
stopped. Unfortunately the ref had just blown for full time. 
Bamford - did he touch the ball
Can't remember anyone else coming on ? 
4 wins out of 4 and that's a first for an manager in our history apparently. 
Good record.

 Then maybe just the type of passing has been more dangerous? Seems a lot less 
sideways and backwards and more offensive. Also the passing seems quicker and 
crisper, moving the ball faster (which to me would probably be harder to do so 
if they are as accurate that would be an improvement). Or maybe it has all gone 
to my head!

Apart from the lower energy of the B-team, the biggest problem this season is 
passing.  We got away with the passes to the opposition in the first two games

Interesting game. We made 8 changes so big chance for the B-team. We started 
like we have done in all the games and for 35 minutes I thought we looked good 
with Pearce and Shackleton doing well as wing backs. 
But then I thought we ran out of steam and maybe that's the difference in 
fitness levels and skills between the B-Team and the first 11 ? I thought we 
returned to some of the aimless square and backward balls at the back that we 
have seen under previous managers. The gap between defence and midfield got 
wider and as a result we became less effective. Bolton then began to cause a 
threat and in the end they could have got a result and you have to remember 
they made 9 changes too ! 
So in the end I was happy with the result but it made me think that maybe some 
of our squad players are not going to be able to support a promotion push this 
season. 
Blackman - 7. one bad spill which should have been a goal for them. 
Shackleton - 7. I like the look of this lad. Ok, he lost possession a few times 
and looked at times like he was struggling but you can see he's got quality. 
Pearce - 6. He's a bit more pedestrian than Shackleton and definitely second 
choice to Douglas this season. Did well coming forward at times. 
Jansson - 7. Looked a tad rusy, few dodgy balls but second half showed his 
strength and experience in a few one to ones. Certainly didn't do enough though 
to convince the manager he should be playing instead of Cooper and Beradi and I 
never thought I would say that. 
Ayling - 8. The ever dependable Ayling. 
Phillips - 8. To be fair, he looked the most comfortable and effective in his 
role which is suiting him down to the ground. 
Saiz - 8. I thought he was playing at 75% but still looked a class above and 
scored a great goal. 
Harrison - 7. Tricky little player and he covered some ground. I think he'll be 
pushing Allioski for that left sided position soon. 
Baker - 6. I thought he was a weak link. One or two good forward runs but not 
as solid as Kiltch. 
Bamford - 6. Scored a good goal and looks like he's got a nice left foot but he 
should have had a hat-trick. Bit of a dilemma here because I think he needs 
games but it looks like he'll be stuck on the bench for a while. 
3 games, 3 wins so all good but I think there's a few concerns.

Re: [LU] Bolton - a few thoughts

 Didn't see yesterday's game much but from the first two games I thought our 
passing has been excellent. Way ahead of previous years.

 Yep - pretty much totally agree.

I thought we looked fairly good in the first half, though without quite as much 
'zip' as in the previous 2 games. In the 2nd half though, the 'zip' had gone 
and I commented that it was much more like watching us last season.  It was a 
pretty even 2nd half and could have easily ended in penalties.

Apart from the lower energy of the B-team, the biggest problem this season is 
passing.  We got away with the passes to the opposition in the first two games 
because we hustled so much to get the ball back.  But last night the passing 
was even worse and the hustle wasn't enough to balance it out.

Interesting game. We made 8 changes so big chance for the B-team. We started 
like we have done in all the games and for 35 minutes I thought we looked good 
with Pearce and Shackleton doing well as wing backs. 
But then I thought we ran out of steam and maybe that's the difference in 
fitness levels and skills between the B-Team and the first 11 ? I thought we 
returned to some of the aimless square and backward balls at the back that we 
have seen under previous managers. The gap between defence and midfield got 
wider and as a result we became less effective. Bolton then began to cause a 
threat and in the end they could have got a result and you have to remember 
they made 9 changes too ! 
So in the end I was happy with the result but it made me think that maybe some 
of our squad players are not going to be able to support a promotion push this 
season. 
Blackman - 7. one bad spill which should have been a goal for them. 
Shackleton - 7. I like the look of this lad. Ok, he lost possession a few times 
and looked at times like he was struggling but you can see he's got quality. 
Pearce - 6. He's a bit more pedestrian than Shackleton and definitely second 
choice to Douglas this season. Did well coming forward at times. 
Jansson - 7. Looked a tad rusy, few dodgy balls but second half showed his 
strength and experience in a few one to ones. Certainly didn't do enough though 
to convince the manager he should be playing instead of Cooper and Beradi and I 
never thought I would say that. 
Ayling - 8. The ever dependable Ayling. 
Phillips - 8. To be fair, he looked the most comfortable and effective in his 
role which is suiting him down to the ground. 
Saiz - 8. I thought he was playing at 75% but still looked a class above and 
scored a great goal. 
Harrison - 7. Tricky little player and he covered some ground. I think he'll be 
pushing Allioski for that left sided position soon. 
Baker - 6. I thought he was a weak link. One or two good forward runs but not 
as solid as Kiltch. 
Bamford - 6. Scored a good goal and looks like he's got a nice left foot but he 
should have had a hat-trick. Bit of a dilemma here because I think he needs

Re: [LU] Edmundson ... May as well give up now!!

2018-08-08 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
Just to set the record straight I thought Viduka was a very talented player, 
possibly the most skilful centre forward we’ve ever had (along with Michael 
Bridges). 
My problem with Viduka was that he frequently turned up and looked like a rugby 
player with no skill at all which given his talent I thought was criminal. In 
these games he rarely got subbed despite him contributing nothing and everyone 
getting increasingly frustrated with him. 
I think he was a player who played for himself and very much did his own thing 
and if he didn’t fancy it then so be it. 
You never see him return to Leeds and never hear him talking about Leeds like 
others do in that team. For me, unlike some fans, he can never be considered a 
great.

[LU] Stoke

2018-08-05 Thread {broken-address} Richard Walker
What a great day and what a great performance. 
Yes we've had false dawns before including last year's opening win against 
Bolton but I sense that this was different. Bolton were poor and still scored 2 
whereas I felt Stoke are a good side that wanted to play at their pace but we 
just never let them. 
As 45 minutes go I think that's the best I've seen for some years and given 
that this is the same side apart from 1 player that Heckingbottom had I think 
it's clear that the manager has made a massive statement of intent. I always 
criticised Hecky because I couldn't work out what he had brought to the team ? 
There was no new manager affect and the players just seemed to be going through 
the motions. Today was a different system and a different style that I can only 
compare to the impact Wilko made when he joined the club. High tempo, high 
pressure football, interlaced with some great pass and move football which at 
times was breathtaking. Everyone seemed comfortable on the ball and everyone 
comfortable with their positions. I criticised his team selection beforehand 
and I wondered how he was going to make a mid table team of mediocrity compete 
with the bookies favourite for promotion? Well, now it all makes sense. He 
picked the players that he has spent the Summer working with and the players 
who have had time to buy in to and play in the way he wants. I suspect he only 
really knew that it would work after today but all credit to him, the team were 
magnificent. 
I think every player looked 20% fitter than last season. The system worked 
incredbily well and Cooper and Beradi were never exposed because there was 
always other players helping out. Philips, who I have said can't be a top 
midfielder because of his lack of pace and acceleration played a blinder in a 
role that suits him down to the ground. He sits back, chases, harries, tackles 
and breaks up play and then quickly gives the ball to Siaz and co to move 
forward. He looked very comfortable.
Roofe cannot play as a lone striker especially at home so I've said many times. 
Am I now going to have reassess my opinion on this and actually have I writte 
Roofe off too earlier as a '3rd division striker' ? He never really looked like 
scoring today but bloody hell I thought he played well. He looks fitter with a 
bit more muscle and an extra yard of pace. That doesn't make him fast but it 
does give him a 50:50 chance to get to the balls he was unable to last season 
and he never stopped right through to the 5 mins of injury time where he was 
still running for what looked like lost causes. I still think he needs to 
improve his distribution but there's obviously a role for him in this team as 
he never looked isolated with Hernandez, Siaz, Allioski and Klitch all 
supporting with every attack. 
and what about Klitch ? I always thought he looked like a player but he looked 
to lack fitness and pace last season. He looks like Paul Madelely now, majestic 
on the ball and always harrying to win the ball back. His goal was a great run 
and finish. What a player. 
I'm not going to go through all the first half chances but we could have been 3 
or 4 up. The movement and play at times was sensational and crowd were on their 
feet cheering and clapping like I've never heard before. 
Amongst all the great play and performances , Siaz for me stood out in the 
first half. Absolutley brilliant play and he seemed to be back to his best and 
I think again this is down to fitness. He looked very fit and strong and like 
Roofe chased everything. He makes things tick, play the killer ball and also 
beat players with ease. There were rumours that he was going but surely on this 
performance Bielsa will never let him leave. 
Playing out from the back always makes me nervous especially with players who 
really don't have the ability to do so and yes, today there were a couple of 
blips - Beradi played a poor ball and immediately Mclean was through and only 
brilliant anticipation on Cooper's part prevented a goal. Also Douglas had a 
little slip and Ince too control but he recovered brillianty. I think Ince is a 
very lively player and he hit the bar with a great shot in the first half but 
apart from that we stifled him and he got really frustrated. 
2-0 at half-time thanks to some really dodgy keeping from the ex-Leeds keeper.
Second half, we continued to press but I do think we ran out of steam 
particularly Klitch who I think slowed significantly and maybe should have come 
off sooner. Stoke took control and we defended desperately at time and also 
time wasted to run downthe clock. Despite this we still remained a threat on 
the break and could have had more. 
I couldn't see what happened for the pen but it looked like we seemed to have 
defended the cross and got it clear but it somehow came back and fell to a 
Stoke player who was hacked down (Philips ?). Credit to us though because 
rather than panicking we went straight up the other end, won a

calculations went into the answer but one was provided. It would be about 
three.So the Argentinian called his players together and he told them that, for 
the next three hours, they would be picking up litter from around the club’s 
Thorp Arch training ground. He wanted them to learn a lesson; to appreciate how 
the fans laboured to fulfil their passion.t was classic Bielsa on many levels, 
taking in his empathy for the worker, his fixation with discipline and team 
spirit and, above all, the quirkiness and unpredictability that has led to the 
“El Loco” nickname. The 63-year-old is not crazy. It is just that his obsessive 
nature, ferocious intensity, eccentricities and refusal to adhere to convention 
can make him seem that way.When Bielsa strode into Leeds on 15 June to replace 
Paul Heckingbottom, it quickly became clear the club would never be the same 
again. The stories of Bielsa’s attention to detail are already legendary. He 
runs his forefinger across various surfaces at Thorp Arch to check for dust, 
invariably being appalled at what he finds, while he once inquired why there 
was a bootprint on a wall – about half a yard from the floor.It was explained 
to him that, perhaps, it was the result of somebody leaning back against it, 
with his or her foot up. “That shows the person is not concentrated on their 
work! Unacceptable!” Bielsa exclaimed. Leeds have had and do have bigger 
problems than the odd dirty mark but this is Bielsa, the perfectionist, and 
this is how he intends to drag the club up by their bootlaces: little bit by 
little bit.
