Leeds United vs Newcastle United - Match Thread

[The Subhuman]

Okafor has had plenty of criticism for his poor defensive efforts so only fair that Aaronson gets the same.

Livramento was his man and he was nowhere near him

Bard should have been in coverage too ...

[The Subhuman]

No condition obligation to buy Bahoya as far as I can tell, so we may as well use him, we're forking out 25M in July next year

That goal in the 90th minute cost me a whole ton of fantasty points as I had both Trafford and Muharemovic on my team.

All the suggestions I have heard is that it is appearance based but quite a low amount of appearances to trigger it (hence easily attainable etc).

If it is say 10 appearances and a 5 minutes sub appearances counts as 1 then it may be that Farke wants a good look at him in training first, and also wants to make sure he is ready so we can judge him on 9 appearances where he is at 100% - we then decide whether to give him the 10th appearance. Seeing him in 9 * 5 minute appearances probably doesn't really make it easier for us to decide. For example Dan James was electric when he came on tonight - however even if he'd scored a couple of goals it wouldn't have meant he'd be starting the next match.

So did most of us I'd think. Muha did get an assist to soften the blow

[John in Louisiana]

Damn,that's messed up my FPL clean sheet for Trafford and Mura

I feel your pain

[Barlow Boy]

Just home from the game, we’ve had worse nights.

Same for me. I made comment when it happened. At least I had DCL too.

EDIT - just saw your later post.

Cjay bashing Aaronson.

Who could have seen that coming?

[Jaydog]

Had Trafford only just got up before the game.
He does play in his pyjamas sometimes.
Only he was a bit dopey to start with.
Old Whizzy Wissa nearly had him.

[Cjay]

Don't worry Cjay, go a nd have a lie down and you'll soon be back to finding any ways to knock Leeds. Christ we only just scraped past a team that had more injuries than those suffered in the first world war.

I wouldn't bash BA , he'd be out for the season . . . . Then again

[Cjay]

Bard should have been in coverage too ...

He'd gone inside to mark Barnes I'd imagine.

Was BA responsible for the player in acres of space and James I'd assume for the goalscorer

We have plenty of inside defenders, he got dragged out of position for me..

Maybe

Farke was talking to Bard, Amps and Aaronson at the end I think

Maybe he expected Ampadu to take Barnes once he came inside and Bard to go wide and Aaronspn to track Livramento?

Academic anyway, Farke and the fans would have preferred a GD bonus of 4, we got 3, we’re third after 4 games.

Why are we focused on the goal conceded?

[malcolmw]

Maybe, but not a great way to build. Overpay for depth

How much did we spend on Wilson or DCL?

[Aussieleeds]

Geez we’re a hard bunch to please. I jump on here expecting everyone to be upbeat and there’s pages about how poor the subs were and how terrible it was to concede a goal.
I genuinely think we hate being too successful and would prefer that we eke out a 1-0 win with a last minute dodgy penalty. That’s what gets us excited, right?!!!

[marie67]

4-1 and we conceded with a 2 man mid again

We did start with 3 midfield players but i think Tanaka and Ampadu were playing as a 2 in central midfield and Stach was playing more advanced on the right side of midfield. When Tanaka went off Stach moved more centrally to replace Tanaka and Wilson although a more attacking playing generally played on the right side pretty much where Stach had been playing.

So I don't think the formation really changed, just the type of players.
