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

[Billyni]

Firpo ain't good, but will give him another couple of games....

Roberts is not good enough. Contrary to the commentator earlier, no way is he a 'like for like' replacement.

Roberts is really good.
About as good as you, the rev or Oz.
Good for nuthing.

I had to put in the smileys because Oz humour seems to be different

[ozleeds]

Just watched the "lowlights", and OMG WHAT THE F00K IS FIRPO DOING PLAYING FOR LEEDS? Doesn't know where the left side of the pitch is (apparently), doesn't know how to run quickly (jogging seems to be something of a challenge), can't keep his fat f00king ar5e out of the way when NOT defending where he SHOULD be, I mean just what the sweet jeesus f00king hell is he doing wearing an LUFC shirt, never mind playing for the 1st team, jeesus wept.

The own goal happened cause he was coming back from right back lol terrible terrible player.

[ozleeds]

We paid an eight-figure sum for a player who "ain't good" (putting it mildly). What sh1thead signs a cheque for £13m for a player who "ain't good"?

Orta?

And now watched the full game on Sky Sports (glutton for punishment). Useless is the only word for our supposed "real" left back (left back in the f00king changing room from now on!). Roberts to replace Rodrigo, like replacing laughing gas with cyanide, and then Summerville gets brought on and at least knows where he should be, for all of f00k all minutes, laughable if it wasn't so f00king painful. The picture of Meslier at the end of the match says all that needs to be said.

Meslier looked how I felt, and still feel, angry, gutted, disappointed, felt for him. Dallas at left back, or the under 23 left back would be better, at least they'd be where they should be

Watched the full game on Sky. Thought Firpo did a few decent things going forward and defensively first half. Looked like we tired a lot in the last 20 minutes in midfield especially. Klich wasn’t getting back very much.

We still seem to struggle on occasion to break out of the defensive third and lose it but overall a better display and we should have had a point from that.

Rodrigo looked pretty good up top and Rapha was sensational at times.

Liked Cresswells post match comments.

We didnt play that bad, all things considered, the Klich miss was a shocker, he even had time to control it, but still missed from 7-8 yards, also whist Antonio is a powerful lump, Shacks tackle / covering for their winner, was non - existent. Miss match maybe, but then it shows our lack of cover in CM.

Cresswell was the main man covering Antonio (and for the most part did an absolutely stellar job in a very physical competition). Cracked record maybe, but had he had a few more games under his belt he might have known/anticipated what Antonio would do on the break (he nearly intercepted at the death). As it is, he and Shackleton were amongst the better performers, just a shame they didn't come out in the winning side.

Maybe but to be fair to Antonio he is a real handful and took his chance incredibly well. Do you think they maybe tired a little towards the end as we were still bombing forward when we could.

We got suckered on the counter which is always a horrid way to lose.

Looks like Forshaw out for another month.

Perfect game for Struijk to have sat on Antonio all game and wrestled with him (damn the FA).

When all our CB are fit on talent alone think Cooper might now be 5th and no higher than 4th.
