Decent second half by Leeds in a game that could have ended up 3-3.
What did we learn that we didn`t already know.
Alioski is a better winger than LB, Messlier needs to work on his distribution, Bamford apart from one attempt needs to work on his first touch which let him down at least 4 times, and Costa is sh$te.
Gritty performance against another one of the top teams.

We have a lot more resilience than earlier in the season. We were poor for the first hour, but stuck in the game, and dominated the last half hour.

We don't have enough depth. A few injuries and we don't have much coming off the bench, though Poveda looked lively

Agree with all of that. Thought Llorente was poor defensively too.
Cracking game though.

Poveda was excellent. He’s a rough diamond that lad, has some raw talent.

And much better than Costa.

A mile better. He actually tries to beat a man and create something. He’s a bit behind physically but that will come

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Apr 22, 2021 8:02 pm  

I know it`s a bit mercenary but should Leeds be looking at anyone from the relegated teams most likely WBA and Fulham along with Sheff Utd?
Pereira looks ok and whilst not in the relegated teams Almiron from Newcastle for me.
Let Alioski go although he`s a better winger than Costa who I would also get rid of and personally would not sign Harrison but that`s just me.
Hernandez will most likely leave even though he`s been unlucky to be left out this season.
I would also try and cash in on Roberts who probably has some improvement in him.

Sam Johnstone without a doubt, Harrison Reed too. I think Rhian Brewster would personally be good going to under the right coach.

Disagree on Roberts, I think he’s been top notch recently and will only get better. I would personally bring in a top class left back and let go of Costa and Alioski (although that hurts). Herdandez likely to leave sadly

Sam Johnstone (or another sub goalkeeper - Tom Heaton), Alex Moreno, Harrison Reed, Rodrigo De Paul, Sean McGurk.

I would like Barnsley to come up but if they don’t then I’d like to see Callum Styles at Leeds, he has looked a class act.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:29 pm  

I'd take San de Berge from Sheffield utd, and Loftus Cheek from Fulham, although I know he's from Chelsea. Angusa or Reed would also improve the squad.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Apr 23, 2021 12:42 pm  

Good player Berge. Some good names mentioned on here though.

See Foreshaw injured again.. muscle injury. Rodrigo also missing again. Poor season all in all from Rodrigo imo. Needs a good off-season
