Leeds United v Manchester United

He was today

dwhitbread04273d ago

I think he’s made a case for himself to be unstoppable, however, he is not our best player. When you compare it to DCL and Ampadu and Rodon, I would say they’re more crucial.

I’m here for Brendy’s redemption arch and always will be

If we can get 5 more wins....I fancy us to get something at Newcastle our confidence is sky high....

will.butcher273d ago

Newcastle away is tough, but the fixtures do get slightly easier (even if they include arsenal)

jordan.harris273d ago

not sure, but if we can put together two more 3/4 match unbeaten runs before the end of the season, we're probably going to be fine!

Some of these results are way off. How is Gruev higher than Stach? And Bornauw was not that bad, so harsh.

philbinjonny273d ago

Think that's a bit harsh on Gruev. He's not Ampadu and never will be, but I think he was neat and tidy in the midfield.

robert.aaron.osborne273d ago

Agree almost completely. Perri constantly a liability but not to the levels of Meslier. Bijol really made up for the other two of the three

I’m happy to admit i was wrong about Aaronson. Playerrrrr

martinborlant60273d ago

Aaron's was really good.

dwhitbread04273d ago

Brendan Aaronson 100%, he was immense today, and of course, got the goal. I really liked Bijol too.

buttereebarry266d ago

Lucas Perri is a bigger disasters and liability than Meslier ever was. We need to train him to control his box especially the 6 yard His coming out for crosses is non existent. An impression of a starfish doesn't work for me .

p.hicks8881272d ago

Yes. But struik also to bame as he lost his man there and burnouw could not get across in time. It was a defensive mistake overall. Cant just blame perri on this one 💛💙💛 alaw

Is he a massive upgrade on Meslier, I'd play Darlow over Perri especially in the Newcastle game

martinborlant60273d ago

I'll say it again this goalkeeper is crap he was too far out .should never have scored from there.

robert.mchugh273d ago

Chambers on the bench shows how stretched the squad is getting. Still can't afford to drop the ball in January

Very happy with that lineup, IMO, it's the strongest team we can field with the players available. Justin and Bornauw impressed me vs Liverpool, so I am not overly worried about them.

dwhitbread04273d ago

I think from a non bias perspewctive it's not as high as some may think. However, based on pure nastiness and hatred, it's up there with Villa/Birmingham

philbinjonny274d ago

I'd say from the Leeds end, it's up there with the nastiest for sure. I'd love nothing more than to see how unbothered Butt is after a Leeds win today

dwhitbread04273d ago

I think all you have to look at is DCL's form... He is going to be absolutely buzzing for this, and I think he will be the difference.

philbinjonny274d ago

What a day. Would love DCL to get back in the goals, but have a feeling Lukas Nmecha could get the winner...

dwhitbread04273d ago

I definitely haven’t, not going to ever earn that respect back from fans.

philbinjonny274d ago

Not sure there's much to forgive to be honest. Do I like Rio Ferdinand? No - but that's not the question. But Leeds made a profit on the deal and he got the move he wanted.

robert.mchugh274d ago

From purely a financial perspective, this deal was one of the few successes of that era. But as an individual, no. He doesn't seem to have much affection for the club, and the feeling is definitely mutual.

gareth.l.armstrong274d ago

No. He's got no fondness for Leeds, he doesn't want the club to do well, and his allegiances are obviously with Manchester United. As far as I'm concerned he's a Man U player who happened to spend a couple seasons as Leeds.

philbinjonny274d ago

This is said with tongue firmly in cheek, but what about Jonny Howson 🤣. The man knows what it takes to beat Man U

robert.aaron.osborne274d ago

I’d be happy with tanaka-stach-gruev but I wouldn’t be against Aaronson starting either

robert.mchugh274d ago

Straight swap for me - Calvert-Lewin in for Ampadu, drop Aaronson back into midfield with Gruev and Stach, with Stach playing a bit deeper than usual. Then you've got Tanaka on the bench if you need to chase the game later.

dwhitbread04274d ago

Amps will be a massive miss, we have seen this season just how. crucial he has beeen to us when he has played, now he is missing in arguably one of, if not the, biggest game of the season. He dictates the midfield and orchestrates everything good about us, defesively and attackin

iainbullock1275d ago

I think it's high time Arnie Slot starts to grow up, throwing his toys out of the pram, he should know every team are going to try anything to upset the opposing team, he is forgetting that he bought 3 players for more than Leeds spent in total

dale.odonnell276d ago

As a Red, we’ll take any boost we can get going into this game. We can only take advantage of it if any of our midfielders return from injury because Casemiro and Ugarte are not cutting the mustard together.
