This could be a rout for Manure

Football is such a strange game.

It'll finish 2-0!

Funny. Two very good goals as well

Blimey I didn't expect a goal so early.

Ginnelly has just scored in the cup final, 3-3 with about 8 minutes remaining.

Detest both of these football clubs

I think Leeds have been punching way above there weight so far and I fully expect them to be involved in a relegation scrap at some point in the season

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:39 pm

Bamford nearly gets one back.

I think they pass the ball around very well and quickly, and can cut teams open. They'll create chances this season and score goals in most of their games - but as they don't sit back it allows the opposition opportunities.

I think our best chance against them will be being solid at the back, pressing well and our set-pieces.

This shows that if you attack Leeds with drive and pace, they're capable of folding like a pack of cards.

No doubt we'll give them plenty of time to get men behind the ball and play for set pieces next weekend. Ideal for Vydra imo.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:55 pm

Loving this.

We aren't quick enough to be able to cause them too many problems from open play. We'll need to be physical and punish them from corners and freekicks.

Leeds will finish mid table, they will comfortably beat most teams in the bottom half and lose to most teams in the top half.

Well maybe, but for now can we just enjoy them losing their cup final in the first three minutes?

4-0
Might be a Liverpool/Palace type score.

DomBFC1882 · Post by **DomBFC1882** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:09 pm

This just keeps getting better

. We want 8

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:09 pm

Leeds getting destroyed here. All over the place at the back. This is a joy to watch

Make no mistake they will be in the scrap at the bottom.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:11 pm

I'm glad we play them before the window when they go out and spend £100-150 million on their defence.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:12 pm

Whether Leeds will be in the scrap at the bottom, their GD is taking a pounding today.

Fair enough. There are a few people i know who will watching this from behind the sofa, I'll be texting them later reminding them they have an even bigger game next Sunday.

Credit to Leeds they keep plugging away. I can’t imagine Burnley still attacking when 4 down. Its normally just damage limitation

Stayingup · Post by **Stayingup** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:16 pm

Why does Fernandes suck his thumb after hes scored?

Teams tend to subconsciously take it easy when 4-0 up. There's no point risking an injury when the game should be won.

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:21 pm

I can’t think of many times when we have scored goals against a Premier League team when more than 3 down.

Does anyone want to do the work and find the times we did... I can only think of the Chelsea home game last season.

I don't agree I think that there cavalier approach will be their downfall as the season progresses

Dyche will be looking forward to the game at EL and will fancy us to come away with all 3pts

A good entertaining match so far.. Leeds look good going forward ,but their defence is a bit suspect

You can admire their positivity, but many people would call them naive, especially away at Utd.

Hipper · Post by **Hipper** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:29 pm

Until now Man Utd have won all their six away games after being a goal down, yet have only got five points from their six home games until today. The only team they beat at home was WBA 1-0. If Solksjaer solves this conundrum they'll do very well.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:37 pm

Leeds have named two more subs than Man U but I don’t think it will make a difference

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:38 pm

Interesting... 46' Double substitution at the break. Klich and Phillips are replaced by Struijk and Shackleton.

The 2 players who were a yellow card from missing the game against us.

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:42 pm

Ridiculously harsh booking for diving against James there.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:43 pm

Anthony Taylor once again proving he doesn't belong anywhere near a football pitch, joke of a yellow card

DomBFC1882 · Post by **DomBFC1882** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:46 pm

I'm not a fan of Daniel James but no way that was a dive

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:47 pm

It's like the sort of game you expect between two kids teams.

Whitgord · Post by **Whitgord** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:50 pm

Daniel James has pace to burn. He’d be fantastic on the right for us.

I think your predictive text changed 'totally rubbish' to 'bit suspect '

I'd love us to beat them at Elland Road,I'm just concerned that they will have too much energy for us.
