Leeds United - v - Middlesbrough ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

Unable to watch the game out here in Indian Ocean, but just checking updates. Gotta stop them scoring again because we aren't gonna score with Bamford on.

Our (frozen) hearts bleed I'm sure!

Who do you mean?

Fk sake, didn't we buy Piroe who scored over 40 in 2 seasons in a shyte Swansea team, yet our jerman manager wants to change him and put George in his place who doesn't have the power in his shot to burst a chip bag soaked in vinegar.

Crysencio Summerville, played - 14, goals = 7
Joël Piroe, played 17, goals = 6

So he's "up there", but frankly if you watched this and previous games, we don't have a striker as such (Summerville is probably the closest), and todays game exemplified the other problem we have, no target men in the box for the likes of Byram, James, Gray to cross into.

Even when they were down to ten men, they looked more likely to score (and very nearly did) than we were. Glad of the three points, but the constant playing back from their 18yd box to Meslier, tippy tappy in the final third and allowing the opposition to regroup, as opposed to keeping momentum going will bite us, as it so nearly did when they went down to ten men.

Yes, very good Andrew.

Good win but that mentality after they went down to 10 is exactly what is going to stop us catching the top 2, effort dropped, shots were half efforts and passes weren't as purposeful. We always seem to drop 10% when they think the game was good as won and it is costing us, nearly cost us today again.

Still, good game, going well just need to be a bit more ruthless and not switch off.
