Yeah that's a fair assessment. I agree that we can use him as cover.
It's one thing I see as an improvement this year - we seem to have options & cover in most positions. Should serve us well as we go into the post Xmas run in. Could do with a couple of incomings, I'd like an old fashioned No 9 🙏
I have to say I didn't think Guilavogui had that great a game really. Feel quite bad saying this, but I thought he looked a bit rusty. Hopefully he'll settle in to things with a bit of game time 👍
Looked bright didn't he. Quick going forwards too 👏
Yes exactly Jo. I think yesterday felt a little 'underwhelming' as a performance, but then really Harrogate played solid defensively, and credit to them. As we've seen in the Spurs game, it can sometimes take quite a long time to break teams down.
#Ups & Downs
Yeah, I get that sometimes commentators might want to jump on the FA Cup bandwagon and root for the minnows - its part of the charm, but Warnock was just plainly anti-Leeds last night.
Even more confusing when you factor in him being an ex-player 🤷♂️
Yeah although it was very underwhelming for us, you've got to doff your cap to Harrogate - they were very organised in defence.
For me it just underlines our inability to break down teams that play the low block 🤷♂️
Surely not 🙈😂
Got taken to my first game by my Dad in the 60's, he started the lifelong relationship for me. Went to every home game when I was at school in the late 70's & early 80's.
Then had a Kop season ticket in the Cellino mad years, but gave it up. So maybe I'm a real stupid fan 😂
I've thought the same for the last 3 seasons. Every time the ball gets played across the back, I'm panicking about where Mes is or what he's going to do.
I've stayed away from any pile on of players, but there's too much evidence in this particular instance.
Sad, but I think we need a change.
Alternate New Year Countdown #lufc
Yep, I'm with you on that one Diddly. Feels different this year. How many times last season we played well & came away with nothing. This year is more about grinding out results. Sometimes you have to win ugly.
Long may it last 🥳
Great battling mindset tonight. The difference this year - we can win ugly. I couldn't count the amount of times we played well last season yet came away with nothing 🤷♂️ #ALAW
Merry Christmas to you too Erik 🎅🎄👍 Hope you have a good one, and LUFC have a good run from here 🙏
Yes the new arrivals have been impressive. Ao Tanaka has to be the pick though doesn't he - calm, good eye for a pass and he fits in perfectly. I just hope we can hang on to him if others come sniffing 🙏
Daniel Farke's tactics at Leeds United this season have built upon his established philosophy of possession-based, attacking football, with some key evolutions. Leeds are playing with higher intensity this season, pressing higher up the pitch and transitioning more quickly from defense to attack.
I agree completely with your assessment, and I would add that (in my opinion) the squad is sharper this year. Last year we had a decent team with 3 stars - this year it seems different, everyone is chipping in and working for each other more.
Long may it last #ALAW #LUFC
I think your assessment of Le Mes is so very close to how I feel about him David.
Every time our defence pass back to him I feel anxious.
As you say, he's somewhat stale, and he's both genius and inept. I don't feel he's a safe pair of hands. Sad really.
Not great today, but at least we salvaged something. Please can someone have a word with Bogle to ask if he can look up before passing / hoofing it 🤷♂️
Yeah I'd agree with that Harvey. In all honesty I was expecting Preston to play exactly like they did. Mes should've done better with their goal, but we weren't at our best. I thought Bogle especially was poor, but there were others not at it.
But we'll get games like this #MOT
Not a great display on the whole, most seemed a bit sluggish today. I thought Bogle was especially poor, not looking when passing & giving it away too often.
That said, Preston played a spoiling physical game, and the officials didn't help.
We move on #MOT
Absolutely awesome baller isn't he 🥳
Yep, it's very sad and unimaginative 😫
I suppose we've got the Open Air Theatre, there's been some major acts there recently.
But you can't help reminisc about the Futurist - I was at Kim Wilde too 😂
Just for me personally, there's always still an element of self doubt and self criticism. I think that's a lifetime affliction, but I've got more comfortable with myself, and actually realised I need to cut myself some slack.
It might be worth reaffirming to yourself all the good things ?
Yeah I think it's all about keeping perspective.
We do need a freshen up at the front, a clinical striker and a proven No. 10
Easier said than done of course, but I still think we'll be alright #MOT
Hats off to you Jack - you called it 👏
I dont see why we can't play Willy & Dan more in games together (exception being Swansea), it seems like it's always either of them but not both at the same time 🤷♂️
Hopefully it's because they're similar players & maybe it's resting that's key.
Mind not made up on Aaronson.
I'm thinking a bit more cagey. Possibly a 1-0 win. Obviously I hope it's more what you think Jack 😂
🤍 13 years ago, a legend passed away. Gone, but never forgotten, Gary Speed and his family are forever in our thoughts. RIP Gary
Yeah it's annoying isn't it.
I've just had a couple of crypto currency experts & some woman with absolutely no link to football 😫
He's just an outright talent isn't he Eric.
