Leeds United - v - Fulham ***Matchday Thread***

Although its early days, I think its fair to state that Leeds can score goals in this league. I think its also fair to state that all is not well in defense. Today, defended corners better, but allowed 2 goals from open play. The 3rd Fulhsm goal in particular was a poor goal to concede. Good thing is no midweek games (I think) so can work on this.

Notice that its the bsll crossed in from the defensive left that causes the problem. Can anyone remember the last time Leeds conceded a goal from a cross from defensive right? I cannot. For 2nd goal, Fulham split the defense exactly like how they did in June. Then they missed, this time they didn't.

Sorry. Cooper got caught under the ball. Not Koch.

3 pts - scoring goals we are up and running!

Crap are we playing Burnley next? lol

Man just watched the highlights again keeper should have saved the penalty and the header goal and even the other one he misjudged it as he was close enough to tap it out. Freaken knew our defence was going to be our problem and now KIKO is injured what are we going to do. Ohhh well
Now I'll wait for the WTF treatment you have any remedies for that Alfi is it STFU and don't say anything lol

Mb said in hes interview when asked about that
You've conceded seven goals in last two games - should the fans be worried or are you still quite confident with how your team is defending?
We are worried.

Isn't it silly last season we defended well and couldn't score and this season we score but can't defend lol

Just watched the goals again, well taken by Costa and Bamford was very composed for his, maybe he will be better in this league with less chance of somebody chopping him down

Not happy, we can't be given so many penalties away and the back desperately needs to get tighter. Hopefully a few more games and practice sessions will see Meslier taking more charge of things

New back four and coopers first game back - sure we will get better defensively
