He is a CB mainly so likes the game in front of him and not all around him it would seem. when he has played there for Germany he is surrounded by much better players so they can cover for him.Quote:

This of course is great, but it means that it is difficult to talk about the skill of Clarke, speed of Cooper, and the greatness of Madeley. Some might only know Gary McAllister as a Leeds manager. And have no idea who is Jeff Astle to Leeds. Some may not realize that Aaron Lennon was a Leeds product not John's son. Of course one can also (correctly) point out that many here are argumentative, inflexible, curmudgeons. So, there are pros and cons (at least for me) to joining Waccoe.Quote:

Easy peasy....he's not Phillips and he's not good enough, and he's not a CB.Quote:

The only consolation being we are unlikely to come up against a team playing that well very often this season. As last season, stay up and I will be satisfied
Yeah they were on song yesterday and a good crowd. We had 51% which not many teams will, although we did nothing with it!
Lessons learned? Hope so! One thing MB will not dwell on this and fingers crossed have us ready for the next challenge. Hate losing and especially to that scummy bunch but we move on. Be interesting to what Andy has to say.
Totally agree, I'll be good with staying up and taking the Premier League coin. Phillips should have started, Rice has managed minutes today as hammers win 4-2, at Newcastle, bringing Costa and Roberts on was soul destroying MOT
Good post lad - the only thing I would say is that for their second goal Ayling was caught marauding forward when we lost posession, a feature of the whole match was how frequesntly. and easily we did lose possesion which inevitably lead to them hitting it long and catchimg us on the break, they did the same several times in the first half where we basically got away with it due to their poor finishing. It is Bielsa'a style for the wing backs to get forward at every opportunity - but the risks with that where there for everyone to see yeasterday. Problem was we continually lost possession due to their high press when we had commited players forward.Quote:

One positive from yesterday, we didnt concede from a corner or free kick, mind you, we conceded from everywhere else.
One forward , two back i suppose.
If only Koch and Ayling had been on that wavelengthQuote:
