Leeds United - v - Blackburn Rovers ***Matchday Thread***

[Rev72]

Obviously you weren’t at the game, the team played well as did Harrison. Bit fed up of people always finding negatives instead of highlighting the positives. OK Harrison could have scored another goal or two but FFS we are nicely placed in 3rd and are the best footballing side in the division by a country mile. We could have given Blackburn a real hammering today and on another day would, don’t see us finishing outside the top two MOT.

Watched the game via stream and as usual Harrison worked hard but yet again he tried to take his man on too many times,am I being negative by having a view/opinion on a player???..answer is no..I say it as I see it and its your perogative to either agree or disagree.

Agree we are one of the best Footballing sides in the division..but we said the same thing last season as well.

Hope you are right and we finish top 2.

Pains me to say it but think WBA is better right now. We beat them but if we played thdm 10 times i think they would beat us 6 or maybe 7. We are very good and press better than anyone in the league but struggle on finishing. Its why we cant put games away like other teams can in the league

FWIW I think that harrison has the best work rate in tne league. Just tries a lttle too hard to beat his man one on one. However, how many years did we beg for effort and pride in wearing the shirt. Harrison, and this team, have that in spades

just missing the creative spark that Pablo brings, fact is we have been winning in his absence whilst not convincing.I'll take that, because sometimes when Hernandez is out injured, we come off the rails completely. Regarding the 2 wingers, both have certain qualitites, but its a shame that neither seems to have the ability to frequenty get round the last man and whip a killer ball in, something which is an important part of a wingers repetiore.
Feel we have to make space for the Arsenal lad in the side too, otherwise its goals that will cost us promotion, same as last year.

Fair comment but, as I think we are all aware of, there isn't much point in a killer ball without someone to get on the end of it and finish it off. If we had someone like Wood in the middle then the crosses would be valuable.

I suggest people go to the LUFC highlights and look at Klichs reaction to BOTH Harrison's misses in the 2nd half. That's exactly how I felt.

Surely not the same Klich that volleys over the crossbar from 4 yards out?

Not me...

Bamford needs to learn how to score off his bum and his shins like Woods did during his best season.

Wood was symptomatic is the way the club was run. We seemingly bought players without thought to their skills, the system we played and how they would fit in together.

he didn’t really have the players in the team to bring the best out of him but not sure he has been close to 30 goals since
