Talking of Meslier, I was listening to inside elland rd podcast yesterday with G Smyth and J Donahue and they were pretty damning of Messlier of how, even in the championship and playing in one of the best teams for the last 2 seasons, he's not one of the best keepers (stats prove he's some way off).. and Farke needs to give him competition for his place to see if it does the trick. Now, he is still fairly young, but It's quite damning really that, even at this level he's not performing well enough to be considered one of the best in the division (he was exactly same last year).

At last someone agreeing with me that he`s been a liability for 2 years now.
I`m sure in years to come he will be a standout but at the moment he is nowhere near good enough in most facets of what`s good in a keeper.

one thing I've noticed which hasn't been mentioned, perhaps it's the keeper in me, he isn't the bravest. its always legs first rather than smothering when he races out. at some point he'll give a stupid penalty away

It’s game day, and nothing to fear if we keep eleven men on the field. It’s not being disrespectful to Oxford, but this should be a routine 3 points. I’m hoping for two things today, the first is Ramazani getting a start on the left. The second is all the players pulling through uninjured before the busy period. If you’re going today, enjoy the game and hopefully there’ll be a few goals for you.

Listened to some of the game and just seen the highlights. Solomon seemed to stake a claim for the left side attacking spot on Thursday. Might be worth giving him a run of games rather than chopping and changing, Ramazani might not be too happy but healthy competition is what we need. Looks like it’s shaping up to be like last season with a handful of clubs being a cut above the rest. Let’s hope we can find better away form to back up the incredible home record.

Thought Solomon best game for Leeds. MOM for me. James superb again. Would have given Ramazani more mins though personally but he and Gnonto looked dangerous when they came on.

3 from next 4 away I think now so Farke needs to get the away form ticking now
