Leeds United - v - Crystal Palace ***Matchday Thread***

Never doubted it.

Massive 3 pts for us that, get a win against Brentford and suddenly this horrible run doesn't look so terrifying.

Got to give a lot of credit to Roberts, thought he was garbage first 45 but did well the second half lot of really determined work on the ball to not give it away.

Firpo as well, started absolutely horrifically but after that some of his attacking play was very good and made a brilliant challenge to stop Zaha breaking away.

Not a perfect performance but a great 3 points and biggest thing for me was how much it clearly means to them all need to follow that up with 3 points against Brentford though.

One nil as predicted - happy with tonight, would have preferred a goal from open play but happy to accept that - can I start a crowd funding page for Guehi

[Rev72]

Have I missed much

I slagged both but have to agree .

Raphina scared the &hit out of me with the pen tho.

And we did ride our luck a bit with Bentekie/Maupay

What was Raphinha's little dance about after the penalty

[Rev72]

Could do with the barcodes and Norwich drawing tonight as well.

Your wish is my command

I am far from Roberts' biggest fan but he did a little better in the second half. There was even one cameo where he seemed to dribble between 3 or 4 defenders and still kept the ball. Firpo is still dire and he looks very short on confidence. Nearly every time he got the ball he passed a safe 10 yard ball back to Cooper. Once or twice he looked better going forward and even combined with Raphinha quite well so there is a (faint) glimmer of hope.
