Leeds United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2020/2021

Hijpo

Barnsley busting a gut to close spaces and track back.
Definitely seem to be putting more effort in than us.

whiterebel

Here’s a strange move....

10000maniacs

The commentator is right. Who is top and who is bottom?

whiterebel

Harrison off for a CB?

GoldFour4

This is excruciating. Please get a second

blaa85

I have no idea what the formation is, or who is playing in what position.

whiterebel

What are we doing?

jacool

5 across the back
Inviting them on.

jacool

What a move !!!

whiterebel

Meslier, Struijk, Cooper, Berardi, Ayling, Dallas, White, Klich, Alioski, Pablo, Bamford,

10000maniacs

Bamford misses a sitter. Normal service resumed.

Hinchcliffe is annoying.. Bamford did the right thing there, good save by the keeper

And there's his worst side

Bamford should have scored. Said that a few times this year

Anywhere away from the keeper. Place it.

davedanon

That wasn't a sitter, it was a decent effort and a good save.

What are Barnsley doing at the bottom of the league?

Slim Charles

When Pascal gave the ball away shortly after he came on....was that Struijk One ?

whiterebel

This is ridiculous. Christ almighty!!!!

10000maniacs

Nobody marking up.

Beat Fulham twice, drew with WBA both times. Odd team.

Hijpo

Hernandez not happy at all

davedanon

Nearly there. COME ON!

whiterebel

Done!!!!

is_that_so

Doesn't come easy!

whiterebel

1 Point from 2 games. C’Mon Leeds!!!!

10000maniacs

Nearly there lads.

purple hands

Horrendous performance

Perfect result

Shlippery

Otherwise we finish the job Sunday?

as it stands

1 point required, assuming the others keep winning.

Ceist_Beag

That will do thanks very much. 3 points is all that matters.

Lamper.sffc

Worst performance of the season? Doesnt matter now

The ugly win.
Bamford should have taken his chance. Thankfully Chaplin and Styles also fluffed theirs.

Carcharodon

U G L Y, we ain’t got no alibi, we ugly !
Man that was bad but wrap it up and throw it away

Zaph

That was seriously painful to watch, but in past seasons we wouldn't have won that game. That was winning as ugly as you'll get, but I don't care. I'm experiencing something weird, is this what optimism feels like?

davedanon

A team on the brink of winning the title, and gaining promotion, thoroughly outplayed by a team at the bottom of the league, and staring relegation in the face.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Championship!

davedanon

They say it's the 5th best league in the world, but in many ways it's the hardest. It's without doubt the hardest league where promotion is concerned.

championc

Has our luck finally changed ? I think that game suggests so. I know Meslier didn't have a lot to do, but they would have beaten him if one was on target.

They didn't show us any respect, and came at us. I'm seriously glad that Derby still haven't a playoff space to play for, going at us with a must win attitude, or we'd be annialated

adaminho

Come on Hudders(Gawk)field!

is_that_so

Just looking at the table +3 GD over West Brom, 1 point could be good enough to be champions as well!

Don't agree at all. Every game is different. We are the best team in this league. No-one is going to annihilate us.

Mushy

At wedding, watched last 20 mins. Nearly roared at notification of goal. Dont care how it happens now, 1 point left. Heart attack stuff altogether but dont care.

Not quite... for goal difference to come into play it means Leeds can only get 1 point, and WBA have to win both games, so they each end on 88 points.

If you get 1 point from the last 2 games, that means your GD can only be a max of 35. If WBA win their two games, that means their GD can only be a minimum of 35. And their "goals for" is higher.

Leeds GD is +36, so a winning margin of 1 in each game for West Brom leaves them at 35. That's the basis of my speculation.

... for Leeds to only have 1 point, they must lose a game, therefore their GD cannot remain 36. It has to go down to 35 or lower.

If Leeds lose one game, and draw one game, their GD has an absolute maximum possibility of 35.

If WBA win both games, which is required for GD to be of relevance, they can only do so with a minimum GD of 35.

So if it goes down to 'goals scored', Leeds would have had to draw their game with a scoreline of 4-4 or better in order to be champions in the event of both clubs finishing on 88 points.



<edit>
not that I think any of this is likely - I'm very confident you guys will win it on points.

Over 40 years following Leeds. I couldn't analyse that game for love nor money

It was a bit of a head-scratcher all right. I don't think even Bielsa could nalyse that game and understand what was going on.

rob316

Great to see, it's been a long time ye have been out of the top flight. A proper big team coming up is great for the league.

quarryman

So that 2nd half knocked a year off my life.

Hijpo

Loose passing, rarely looked comfortable.
Determination got us the goal, if BARNSLEY equalised I wouldnt have been surprised or felt hard done.
Felt like everything went down the left, not sure if that was forced by Burnley. What formation did we actually play, it didnt look standard Leeds.

quarryman

I actually would have been very surprised if Burnley had equalised in that match...
