Leeds United - v - Southampton ***Matchday Thread***

[cherrypie7]

Great 2nd half performance , pitch is shocking
Raphinha is the best player in a long time , need to build on him for next year
Happy week at work , top half of the table , hopefully Rodrigo back at the weekend , get the full squad back
Costa more like his old style , Dallas so much improved under Bielsa
Gone for another beer , enjoy !!
MOT !!

The Leeds Administration need to make a statement about the pitch. It is now dangerous. Southampton's Romeu got himself injured after twisting an ankle. Football players are paid a lot of money to ply their trade, and they cannot do their job on this pitch. We are supposed to be in the premier league. Our pitch is definitely not.

It's not our administration it's the football league that should look into it as that is what they get paid for. The pitch might be bad but it didn't have time to settle. When pitches are replaced usually at the end of a season it takes like 3 months for it to settle routes and all.We layed it traineed on it and are playing games on it straight away.

Just want to say Man of the Match imo was the referee, got all the big decisions right and let the game flow as much as he could. If he had got one of the difficult decisions wrong, result could have turned out differently.

Not so much man of the match (that was Raphina!) but agree on his performance, v impressive.

Yes, I like Marriner he doesn't take any sh1t from the players and was big enough to admit he got the penalty shout wrong. Complete contrast to that spanner Coote who ruined the Wolves game.

It is quite funny to not watch the matchday threads and to only look in after the game [Normally watch both by myself, but the wife is from Southamnpton so watched the game together] to see the comments from the first to the second half - 360 degree switch lol!

Bielsa as always called it right when he said the score flattered us [Or something similar] but this crazy leauge is like that week in week out - as someone regularly says - "Fine margins"
Thought their keeper made a few blinding saves but cocked up on Rapha's goal, thought despite Southamptons press - Meslier played the right game - knocking it long when needed, and thought Llorente did pretty good as Philips replacement - and seems to, have come through unscathed - looking forward to seeing this fella get a run of games under his belt, looks quality to me.

And amazingly that is two out of three penalties given against us, then correctly chalked off by VAR in the last three games
