Leeds United - v - West Ham ***Matchday Thread***

[norfolk white]

The 4 unfortunate/stupid points we dropped against fulham and Bournemouth would have us in fifth position?..crazy and disappointing to think about it.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Surprised noone has mentioned that Dominic Calvert-Leuwin did not put a shot on goal the entire match. I think i prefer Piroe. Farke has preferred Aaronson because he wants aaronson to play narrow on the right, a position Brenden grew up playing as a boy and then under Jesse Marsch. Okafor plays wider on the left. I think Farke likes this assymetry.

Thought DCL was excellent with his runs, hold up play and flick ons - he made sure that their CBs had a hard tine

2nd half worried me.
If we’re going to defend a lead by inviting the opposition forward, then we’re in for a rodgering against better teams.

Piroe holds up play well too. He is very good when he runs onto the ball, better than Calvert-Leuwin. The way Leeds are set up, they are making many chances for the striker to run onto. The big difference is in the air. Piroe is not good in the air while Calvert-Leuwin is excellent. But CBs in the PL are extremely good in the air.

+1.

Hard to figure. They were reeling. Just keep the pressure on. Sitting back at this level equates to goals. We played right into the hammers strength. Even a beer league coach should understand that

However, credit to Farke for switching up lineup finally. We looked better and fresher

Have a choice this morning. Cheesy-Black cats or Magpies-Cottagers. I think i am going with Magpies-Cottagers.

Draws on those games would do nicely

Sunderland have also begun to worry me.

Remind me how many points they were behind us for promotion?

[Billyni]

Although it surprises me to say it, Aaronson was excellent tonight.

Have you ever seen a cat chasing after a red light

This site is obviously not convinced I am Human fourth check in 35 minutes

Can you imagine how many checks the Rev, oz and Andy have to go through.
