Any lessons from the Man U game?

[george_kaplan]

Nail biting second half and our players gave everything as did Farke. Imagine his nerves! Mine were shot by the end and as others have said, be happy when these times arrive. A great 3 points, a great all round effort. Well done to all those involved.

We?re nearly there after that unexpected win, what?s there not to like about that?

The final whistle DF on his knees fists clenched, right there, then at that moment he was definitely one of us not the manager but a fan! He wanted that not just the 3 pts like we all want but to win after all these years?there are 45 year old LEEDS fans who have never witnessed this! Plus a FA cup semi final?loads upon loads of fans have never had the chance to see this?win or lose.

It is three points won and a good team win, what most fans never thought possible. Played a team who thought it would be a easy win for them, not played for three weeks. Man I feel good and super proud to be LUFC.

Once upon a time George, I recall fans would be ecstatical with ANY win over this mob....but not on here, Prefer to whinge and pick out the negatives instead....which is similar to most match day threads regardless of results! Yes it was frustrating 2nd half, but give away supporting us if you cann't at least get a kick out of that win....

I could say a lot of things but i just 1. pointing out the truth and where we got it wrong is reflexion on the game, Lucky as with ten man they had 2 certain goals cleared of the line! and pointing out that a player was stuffed and should have been subbed must be also a crime.Ps there is a diffrence between a follower and a supporter . As a follower i observe, a supporter goes to games pays fees something i can't do as I'm a million mlles away.

Disagree. We are all supporters of Leeds United. Many live in Yorkshire or otherwise within striking distance of Elland Road. Others live miles away, hundreds of miles away and thousands of miles away. That's the magic of a big club with much history and true support from all around the world.

So, Farkes comments regarding Tanaka at todays presser;

"Pretty happy with Ao's recent performances. Was good in the cup game and backed it up on Monday.We were always convinced he could deliver. He's not that young any more. It's his first season in top-flight so needed time to adapt and find consistency. Wouldn't read too much into stats. He had top stats last season because he was in the best team in the league last season. But doesn't take anything away that he's a very important player for us"

So, "very happy" but it was AOs first start in how long? "Always convinced he could deliver", but gave him exactly how many minutes on the pitch to demonstrate that ability? "He's not that young any more".....he's 28 FFS!!! And his "first season in the top flight". Err, first season the ENGLISH top flight maybe, but he's not a Japanese international for nothing.

"Wouldn't read too much into the stats", WTF?????? Stats are the way modern football is analysed, they are the life blood of tactical development, team recruitment etc etc, but apparently not when it relates to AOs performances. "He had top stats last season because he was in the best team in the league", AO must be so glad he has such a supportive coach. How many players have "top stats" in their particular discipline in the team, and yet end up getting relegated (ask Aaron Ramsdale!).

Damned with faint praise, compared to the dewy-eyed effusive praise for Bijol and Okafor (both of whom deserve it, but have been no more "contributory" to Leeds success that AO (and with much greater playing time))

Tanaka has played 1150 minutes in all competitions and scored 4 times, Okafor has played 1700 and scored 6 times.

[spaldy]

I really hope he starts and plays the exact same lineup he used at old trafford

That was a solid and motivated performance

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Yep that would be good Spaldy and also home Longstaff and Gnonto get some decent minutes if we are comfortably ahead.

Farke?s press conference was strange and I sometimes wonder what gets lost in translation.

Thanks
