Leeds United vs Newcastle United - Match Thread

[1964white]

I can't remember when there were two Yorkshire clubs in the top four of the Premier/First Division. It could go back 100 years. Well done Hull & Leeds.

Cue Hector!

Erm - no real reason to remember the 91-92 season????

I did not enjoy this game.

If we won 9-0 and missed a chance to make it ten - there would be three pages of analysis as to why we didn’t get the 10. I use the term analysis loosely.

Discussing a goal conceded is just as valid as discussing goals scored and overall performance. Just look at DF last night, he was apoplectic we conceded to the point where he held players on the pitch to draw attention to it.
I don't think anyone was attempting to de-value the performance last night by mentioning their late goal, it was more disappointment that we didn't keep a clean sheet.

I am not suggesting that anyone devalued the result.
But negatives do tend to create a feeding frenzy. Horses for courses - I prefer to concentrate on the positives unless we are woeful.

I got home about 11.45pm.

Good to see you again, Kev.

A few more thrashings at ER would be nice!

I didn’t realise you two were into that sort of thing, ah well it takes all sorts.

I thought it may have been be Leeds & Sheff Wed, but going back to the 60s.

1991/92 was the season we smashed the Owls 1-6.

I haven’t the nerve to be a gambler but I got a bonus at work & really fancied us for that game so stuck £100 on it, never broke a sweat.

Still have not forgiven the Gordon Watson dive for a penalty!

Not surprising Fish.

We've endured plenty of hidings in the past & bounced back (for example Chelsea last week), I expect Newcastle to do the same.

[1964white]

I didn't know they had a dungeon at ER Leon?

Is it BB? Or OB that's using the cat of nine tails on you lads?

Or do you swap roles at half-time?

Classic stuff Leon, thanks for the new material

I'm sure Hector will be along soon to pass comment

A pleasure James.

Oh, I forget to include Cussie I've heard he likes a session on the rack too

I'd heard that about you

[The Subhuman]

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?

Why was Farke?

[The Subhuman]

How much did we spend on Wilson or DCL?

100k plus salary, 4 years was it ? Upward of 20M plus bonuses

[The Subhuman]

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.

Stach is a more defensive midfielder. He does a lot of the dirty work in the middle of the field even when he's further forward. He's an 8 playing with 2 4's.

We do get weaker when we play two 10's or 2 wingers when in a 5 man defence. Aaronson and wilson are Hybrid 10's/wingers

£20m is not a lot in modern day football.

The likes of Calvert-Lewin, Ampadu, Justin, Bogle, Tanaka have been bargain buys.

None of them cost a fee over £10m

3 of those were signed in the championship so you'd expect them much cheaper. 100k plus salary at our level is starter money and he's not.

In 3/4 years 15-20M for a back up is acceptable but not so good when establishing yourself on limited funds second season up

Why is Farke?

Farke’s on the forum?
