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

[BelfastAndy]

No striker. No consistent proven goal-scorer. Decent play, but unable to finish. We are going down indeed.

[WTF11]

Genuinely wonder if Gnonto could do that role, he's strong, fast, can pick a pass, takes players on and knows how to shoot. Would playing him more central make him more of a threat?

Yes, kind of "burrowing" player we haven't had for a long time and given his proven ability to go wide if necessary (or if the opportunity presents itself), defences wouldn't be able to settle against us as they do at present

Well, call me overly-optimistic (me???), but having seen the highlights on MOTD I'd say that against any other team apart perhaps from Arsenal, and with just a smidgen more luck (I know, we don't get much), we could get results that will at least give us a chance. Skubala and team should be allowed to carry the ball until seasons end (at least!)

They needed a striker and a left back. Didn't do so. That's all she (he/she/they/them/he/him) wrote.....

(I hate that pronoun horse 5hite. Some people need rounded up and put in field Kenny Everett style).

Thought Firpo wasn’t too bad yesterday.

Bambi didn’t really miss any yesterday - he had the half chance where he couldn’t collect the ball and he went through properly.

The truth is their squad is so much better than ours and they brought on good players when they needed too.

We don’t quite have that luxury with the injuries to Dallas, Rodders and Sinisterra

We should have enough though if we play like that to beat Everton and Soton.

Thought we looked so much better defensively not withstanding the late goals.

We needed a striker so we blew 40m on Rutter

Very Leeds that but he could look good in the Championship next season

Yep we are down this season and its all the fault of the board.

Having chances to score and win games but we don't and concede and lose games - we would be nowhere near the position we are in if we had taken our chances in games we have dominated...boils my piss

True but we look a lot more organised and less chaotic.

Not sure what the Bambi stats were showing from the data trackers but he and Ayling didn’t look that happy at him going off.

Suspect he will be left on for longer in the next few games.

I'm still a bit 'raw' after losing to them cnuts yesterday hopey.

Just feel like we are doomed to go down this season and the manager saga is so depressing.

6 pts from our next 2 games would perhaps give us some hope

I just wish bambi wouldn't smile so much when he misses. Nothing to be happy about there lad.
