Leeds United - v - Derby County ***Matchday Thread***

[UbiqueLUFC33]

I am BEYOND furious. If Bielsa really is such a strategic thinking football genius why the **** can't he see the need to bring on Eddie and Costa at halftime. There are blind hedgehogs in paperbags (to paraphrase Blackadder) that could have worked out that would be the sensibsensible switch to make. No point deploying Eddie when there's only a few minutes left. Klich's missed penalty was poor but other than that he played quite well. Dallas, Phillips and White were all great. Despite that we were robbed and most of us could see it coming. Utterly ****ing woeful and if this is it for the season we are doomed to fail yet again. WAKE THE **** UP! (please).

I thought i was furious too mate, but now i've calmed down and realised how lucky we were compared to the Swansea game. At least this time the other team scored a goal for us to give us a point.

Been robbed three times so far this season - but we should NEVER be only one up so late in these games - its fecking ridiculous that we are in this situation every other game.
As someone said we should have won every game this season easily and been way ahead in the league, had that been then cas ewhen we inevitably fall away late in the season it might not matter too much - but as things stand we will rue the missed chances / penalties as we did last time out.

What we need is someone who can get the team playing the way Bielsa likes and someone else who can pick the best team!

Game should have been done a dusted 1st half Tich.

While its an obvious concern not putting these average teams away when we are clearly on top for most of the game it is also becoming a concern that its poor defending that is gifting teams the point(s) late on in the game.

My Labrador could do a better job.

To be fair Rev we defend well when we are on top but seem to fade towards the end of games then cannot do anythng right - need to be about three up before the inevitable late rally comes along and trips us up

still fecking seething!

Agree.

And yes..the Rev is still seething.

and another thing...WHY cannot we find just 1 player who can be relied on to score from 12 yards? fiucking ridiculous, we have missed about four of our last six pens - which are the only six we have had in a freaking decade - If they cannot play someone from the start who can - then bring them on as a sub FFS!

Seven points chucked away IMO seven points that will hopefully NOT matter come MAY 2020 !

Not like me to be so miserable after a bloody draw, but I feel worse about today's result than about ANY since MB took charge - even worse than the play off final - the reason? We just don't look like we are learning anything from last season, and that is what really pisses me off.

Can't even go out and drown my sorrows as i've got my Granddaughter on a sleep over tonight.
