Leeds United v Liverpool

jordan.harris275d ago

We needed a Meslier masterclass to win the year we were relegated. But Perri thankfully had basically nothing to do last night, so yes definitely. Stuck to the game plan flawlessly

robert.mchugh276d ago

High praise and well-deserved. Farke just keeps getting it right at the moment, long may it continue!

philbinjonny276d ago

Although Liverpool had plenty of the ball, they never really looked like scoring - 15 games since Leeds' last clean sheet as well, so a good night overall

jordan.harris275d ago

Excellent again. Doesn't feel like Ampadu can produce anything worse than a 7/10 at the minute

robert.mchugh276d ago

Ampadu was superb. The kind of leader Leeds lacked last time they were in the Premier League once KP left

philbinjonny276d ago

Ampadu is a magnificent player on the quiet. Does so much of the unseen work for the team

robert.aaron.osborne275d ago

Disagree, very happy with a point with a weakened team at Anfield. Think we played for the draw and got one, something we struggled with at the start of the season but now we’re much harder to beat away.

jordan.harris275d ago

Definitely not disappointed. But I do think Leeds looked more likely to score in that second-half!

james.brooke275d ago

Disappointing only in that Liverpool are rubbish and were there for the taking. But one side is praised here for sitting in and creating relatively little, the other is chastised for the same thing. A draw was a fair result, both teams were poor and offered virtually nothing

philbinjonny276d ago

We were never going to score with Aaronson and Nmecha up front. But, I do understand the needs to rest players. Will look like an even better call if we beat Man U

Think Bijol and Gruev deserved 8's! Excellent all round

dwhitbread04276d ago

I would change Bijol to a 9, and Stach and Ampadu to 7’s, the rest I agree with. But those three were some of our best performers today and deserve that recognition. Hopefully going forward Bijol can keep up this standard as we’re starting to see the quality we heard we signed.

robert.mchugh276d ago

Leeds have a poor track record at Anfield over the years. Always happy to leave with something on the board

Was shocked before the game but clearly, it worked

dwhitbread04276d ago

In my opinion, yes, Farke got his team selection correct as we secured a very good point. However, I would’ve started DCL before the game, I understand why he dropped him, and we now have a rested DCL for Scum on Sunday.

jeyakumarsundralingam275d ago

A superb team effort and a worthwhile point gained at Anfield. James Justin was outstanding highlighted by that crucial block to deny Wirtz. Sebastian had a solid full premiership debut. Gruez was buzzing in the middle. Ampadu was commanding as usual. Bijol has settled in.

andybould96275d ago

One thing ive noticed recently is that they're all playing for the badge,the fans,the manager and each other ALAW WAFLL WDGAF YRA MOT

robert.mchugh276d ago

Justin and Bornauw were both very good. Gruev solid in midfield, but I thought GG was brilliant on the left hand side!

dwhitbread04276d ago

Really good lineup, would’ve liked to have seen DCL make his start, but 4 games in 11 days is a lot. Also, good to rest Bogle and prevent suspension, probably should’ve done the same with Amps. Good to Nmecha back in the team.

jordan.harris276d ago

think this is the right call. No point risking Bogle

robert.aaron.osborne276d ago

Very bizarre, almost throwing the game and keeping others fresh for Man Utd. I’d guess we’ll park the bus in a 5-4-1 looking at it, aiming to scrape a draw? If Bornauw doesn’t show up this could be a battering, even in our form

morecroftguy231d ago

yes lwb

johnbosano234d ago

dHe's one of Farke's major selection decision Leeds best winger much better than Oxafor. Gnonto great dribbler efftive attacker creates scores goals scored goals. At least at home Aaronson could step into midfield and Gnonto can play on the wing or off the striker. It's time Farke dropped his inferiority complex we are only a newly promoted side

robert.aaron.osborne276d ago

Very telling him not playing today, could’ve filled in upfront and covered DCL or returned to a 4-3-3. Talented lad but don’t think he’s in Farke’s plans anymore

robert.aaron.osborne276d ago

The guy’s a machine and probably the most consistent player in the side. Glad the injury looks like weeks out instead of months

morecroftguy277d ago

perri, bornauw, bijol, struijk, bogle, stach, ampadu, tanaka, gudmundsson, lewin, nmecha /gray.

kevindougherty1957277d ago

THATYS CRAP..IF THATS BEEN SEEN THEN THE GAFFER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM OFF IMMEDIATELY..YA CANT NOT PASS THE BALL TO YOUR MOST INFLUENNTIAL CB...ITS NEITHER pERRI NOR bIJOLS FAULT....THEY CANT JUST IGNORE HIM..AND WHAT...IF NO ONE ELSE AVAILKICK IT OUT.WHATA LUDICROUS SUGGESTION.

pete18364278d ago

We have to trust Bornauw so I'd stick with 3-5-2 with Bornauw, Struijk and Bijol at the back, Aaronson keeps his place but Nmecha comes in for Okafor because I don't think Okafor is a natural strike partner

robert.mchugh300d ago

It was great to see the Chief back at Elland Road ahead of the Chelsea game, getting a warm welcome as always on his lap of honour

daniel.owen297d ago

I still wish it hadn't ended like it did for Jansson with Bielsa

daniel.owen297d ago

He could be a dark horse for the World Cup squad? I can see him doing the role Leon Goretzka has played, using his height and breaking forward from deep

ebutcher744300d ago

Definitely a penalty, rash challenge,

djbutcher300d ago

Too right, Liverpool so not with it this season and lost their heads … again

robert.mchugh300d ago

Gnonto was brilliant when he came on, would love to see him get more game time, just not sure where he fits in the new system

jordan.harris302d ago

What a brilliant week! Showed what we can do when we take the game to teams

daniel.owen297d ago

I absolutely love Gudmundsson. I don't think I've seen him have a bad game really since he joined

jordan.harris302d ago

Stach was outstanding!

buttereebarry302d ago

I couldn't agree more today we were slow, sloppy and no fight/aggression We really need Tanaka on the pitch with him we are more balanced and creat scoring chances . He should be one of the first name's on the team sheet along with Ampadu & Rodon

♥ 1

robert.mchugh302d ago

Tanaka has to come on. Leeds need more guile on the ball

♥ 1

johnbosano302d ago

A great opportunity and option is Joe Piroe. When will he be given a chance after last year and a good preseason We need him and Gray on the bench

robert.mchugh302d ago

I think this team still has enough. Nmecha looked very good against Chelsea when he came on. Chance to step up now!

robert.mchugh303d ago

Having Nmecha and Calvert-Lewin available would be so important

will.butcher304d ago

Bogle needs a rest, would love Okafor playing up top if DCL or Nmecha can’t play

will.butcher304d ago

Unreal

robert.mchugh304d ago

Controversial maybe, but I would love to see Alan Smith in Farke's team. He'd be perfect for the high intensity press

will.butcher304d ago

Best time to play Liverpool!

robert.mchugh304d ago

Fancy Leeds to nick something if they play like they did against Chelsea
