Leeds United - v - Manchester United ***Matchday Thread***

[Rev72]

I absolutely f ucking hate these b@stards - they honestly bring the worst out in me - I wish the scummy b@stards the very worst.

We did so well for so long then totally collapsed and went all powder puff - would have never happened in the Dons day.

Chances we had as well at 0-0.

B0ll0cks.

Lot of positives from that game - just need to be more clinical when we get chances.

Firpo actually played fairly well, Adams, Ayling and McKennie were very good. Summerville was good apart from finishing.

If we can play with that energy for the rest of the season you would expect us to pick up points

The first person the Hag shook hands with was the assistant referee.

That's only because the referee was too far away.

Except for a few mistakes, Scum have simply been better. When we have the ball they close us down and often take it off. They create good chances, not many, but good ones. All in all, they simply have been better. I dont think many sides in the Premier League have the class of players at Man Utd, and they are playing well. So next game.....

I agree they have more quality and we made them work hard. Though when we kept our shape and pressed at the right times we looked just as good. They won with 2 quality moments.

If we play like that in the remaining games, I would be optimistic of picking up a lot more points.

Set pieces clearly need work though.

Some people never learn. Whilst i missed the game thought it was on 3.30 am my time not 1 am But i see we were well in it made same horrendous changes as last game and once again loose in the last minutes. Surely that's a sign this guy and his mates are out of there depth.

Sick as a preverbial parrot!

They offered very little and as said a good move and finish by Rashford, and then tired legs against the speedy little cheating/diving fecker - who still had "Luck" on his side when Meslier got a hand to it but it went in off the bloody post

Having said that the defence in general and Ayling in particular looked solid. McKinnie and Adams look a force to be reckoned with - no pushovers there for sure. Our weaknesses where with Harrison and Bamford both gave the ball away far too often Harrison in some promising poistions, andBamford just looks slow and lethargic, and Rutter looks a shambles.

But as others have said performancce was good, BUT we MUST finish our chances if we are not to go dowm - and we donty have a prolific center forward - Arsenal got Trossard a proven goal scorer for £21million,

spoiled my day even though its a point against scum this week I wasnt expecting, and two really good performances.

Salt in the wound was listening to the scum fans singing "Leeds are falling apart again"

Oz. Harsh on that. Thought the tactics were very good and the subs were good. Rutter is not as good as bampuff but we need him the rest the season. Cant push bampuff too hard. Aaronson was ok. McKenzie was on a yellow and tackles hard. We need him next game. The yellow on McKennie was BS but what you expect with the crap refs in this league.

PS. Holding your own against ten hag is a great accomplishment. Hope they keep this guy as coach rest of year. He might be the real deal over some retread. Like to see him coach against Everton next saturday

Bamford keeps 2 defenders accountable whilst with Rutter it frees them up. Harrison for all his flows needs checking is hard at it and runs all day. Not much to work out as when the same changes were made last game team went backwards. But like i said I didn't get a chance to watch it just read the lines.

[LeedsFTW]

Really struggling to see why we paid nearly £40 million for Rutter.

I know he has only 2 or 3 cameo appearances today but as other have said he is defo no better than Bamford, Rodriguez or even Gnonto.
