Thoughts on today?

We’ve a wretched streak in the FA Cup.

Id like to see a nice little cup run mainly to give the squad players a really good test against propper teams.U23s are brilliant but this is a different kettle of fish. It’s also as good a year as any to have a chance of winning it but that’s a pipe dream.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Jan 10, 2021 2:46 pm  

We're seeing why more u23s don't get more game time, this is the second time they've had to impress and they've been way off in both.

Kiko should have saved both goals. He's abysmal

Terrible 2nd half. Need someone to cover for Bamford.

As for that keeper....

At least means we play fewer games.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Jan 10, 2021 3:22 pm  

An absolute embarrassment. Bielsa at fault there.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Jan 10, 2021 3:29 pm  

Sutton, Histon, Newport, Crawley, Hull. We may as well just give the opposition a by next season haha

No excuse for the shocking attitude of the players. Nobody looked bothered, and the young players are way off, they lack the mongrel you need to compete at this level.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Jan 10, 2021 3:36 pm  

Embarrassing for the club. Pretty close to a first team there. No one looking like they wanted to force their way into the team.

Given the good results so far this season is a competition we could have done well in.

Shocking performance today and to be completely outplayed by a 4th division team says it all.
Poor substitutions by Bielsa taking off Cooper and Struijk along with Poveda and Rodrigo and playing Harrison at CF was baffling.
Hernandez was having a shocker and should have been subbed along with Costa.
As for Kiko that should be his last game in a Leeds shirt same with Costa.
Cooper probably the best player for Leeds and he only played 45 minutes.
Great performance from Crawley without really having to get into top gear.

Absolute mare of a performance in that second half. Bielsas changes at half time were mind blowing, only ones he should have done were bring on Greenwood and Harrison. Changed the whole dimension of the game. Kiko should never play for Leeds again.

Man City and Chelsea played full strength squads today and took it serious, that’s what we should have done.

Nevertheless it’s done now, time to get some business in the transfer window. Keeper, midfielder and attacker needed.

Couldn’t agree more especially as we don’t play again until next Saturday. According to Phil Hay we’re expecting a quiet Jan with a couple going out on loan. I wonder if today will change that. If anyone tells me those younger players like Leif Davis are knocking on the door and we can rely on them should we get injuries they are on drugs. Some of those players out there should have done a hell of a lot better but Bielsa takes that one imo.

Still love him but he got that badly wrong. Subs at half time were mind blowingly bad. To not put Greenwood up front was utterly ridiculous. Was he trying some form of sadistic experiment??? Surely Geldhart should have been on bench too he’s a very good young player with experience at that level and done well for Wigan.

Utterly baffling.

Think it was Philipps who said Davis is knocking on the door to play first team.
Totally agree about Greenwood and Geldhart.
Harrison as a centre forward has got to be a joke.
