Exactly. All the best football has been played on attack.

Larry has said he should have a central midfielder in by the weekend on loan to cover for Johnson although Johnson only has a one game ban. Hopefully he's planning on dropping Johnson for a while and getting someone in who's a bit more defensive although i doubt either will happen, the loan signing will be someone like Michael Johnson from Man City who's not the most defensive either.
We concede far too many goals to win promotion and we've done great to be where we are with the goals conceded. The blame cant just go on the defence, they dont get much protection from the midfield and without that your always gonna let loads of goals in. I've said all along, as have others, Howson and Johnson should not be playing together in midfield, neither can tackle and both are lightweight in there and get out muscled. We've been crying out for some steel in there all season but Larry just wont do anything about it, he wont drop Johnson or Howson for any games at all if anyone misses out it's Kilkenny. If he's gonna play with no real defensive players in midfield then why not start with Somma alongside Becchio. Somma is scoring plenty and surely deserves to start just on goals scored.
Even if we beat Swansea at the weekend with Somma starting for Johnson he'll still drop Somma the game after and put Johnson back in, i wish someone would of bought Johnson in January. I dont see what Larry see's in him to make him a starter every single game. The midfield need to work harder on getting back and making us hard to score against, we've had loads of defenders and it happens to them all no matter who plays so the problem must be elsewhere.
Still dont think we've won on any other day than 3pm on a saturday in the league. Play Swansea at 12.45 on saturday so that means a draw or a loss.

Almost right. We won a saturday game at Middlesbrough, which was a late kick off. But no (league) wins on any other days

Millwall at home was a win with an early Saturday kick-off as well. Still a Saturday, but another kick-off time at least.

Swansea different class to Leeds today. Midfield may as well not be there when we don't have the ball, again.

You could certainly tell which team had just been promoted and which team had been in the league for many years. Not to worry.

Re: OT - All New Leeds United thread : Sat Feb 26, 2011 5:16 pm  

grayson got the team and tactics completely wrong,why he went with a 4 in midfield against their 5 i dont know howson and killkenny arnt exactly renowned for their tackling or keeping hold of the ball.swansea exployted leeds weakness in midfield which completly exposed the back 4.

a real kick up the jacksy this and i hope they take a long hard look at their performance and come back with a much improved performance over the next couple of weeks donny,preston and ipswich quite simply has to produce 9 points.

That was the first Leeds game live on tv I've missed for around 7-8 years as I was busy. Picked the right game to miss!

Re: OT - All New Leeds United thread : Sun Feb 27, 2011 9:41 pm  

Sinclair ripped us up. As did their other winger Dyer is it? Could have been a different game obviously had Somma's header dipped in and if he put away his 1on1, which he should have, and then there's the penalty decision. Nevermind.
