Interesting role for Ayling today, right side of a back 3 that often overlapped with the right winger. I thought he had some great surging runs. Did a few things really well. He also played us into trouble a couple of times with some misplaced passes that led to counterattacks. Still, a good game overall1964white wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:41 pm Luke Ayling v Sheff Utd:

Re: Luke Ayling
Love hearing his interviews. So humble. So down to earth. I've watched Leeds for 40 years, but his ponytail goal is the one I could watch over and over again. It's such a real moment. You know it's way above his own ability and the celebration says all that too.

Re: Luke Ayling
How good was he today? Finest performance in the Leeds shirt I think.

Re: Luke Ayling
After watching him tonight, i think he could be a candidaye to cover for Phillips. Knocked it about like Beckenbauer.

Re: Luke Ayling
What a performance from Luke
I don't often give 10/10 to players, last night was one of those exceptions as our No.2 playing at CB was immense last night
Luke also gave us a funny moment too

Re: Luke Ayling
Absolutely brilliant Faaip
I've always been a big admirer of Luke & never had reservations about our No.2 playing in the PL however a performance like that is testament to Luke's attitude & commitment to Leeds
Immense player for LUFC

Re: Luke Ayling
Probably the best player for Leeds so far this season. Very intelligent and calm with the ball, amazing stamina and fitness. When Raphina is settled it will be a treat to watch Ayling and him tormenting the opponents.

Re: Luke Ayling
When Raphinha is a starter, it'll be interesting to see who sits...Costa, Rodrigo or Bamford seem indicated

Re: Luke Ayling
Couldn’t be happier with Ayling this season.
Looks like a bloke that’s waited 10 years for his chance to play in the PL. Has decided to make the most of it and is enjoying every minute.
Hard to pick our player of the season so far, there’s too many to choose from (Koch, Meslier, Klich, Bamford, Dallas, Ayling all worthy in my opinion) but Ayling is right up there

Re: Luke Ayling
Makes Garth Crooks team of the week.
Luke Ayling: The clearance off the line by Ayling from Jack Grealish's shot at arguably the most crucial time in the match against Aston Villa was absolutely brilliant. The Leeds captain's instincts took him to the area where he knew his goalkeeper was exposed. It was exceptional defending.
Leeds are fifth in the table with 10 points and look like a team that can survive in the Premier League as long as they don't run out of gas. It is a real shame that Leeds United fans are not permitted to follow their team around the country singing their anthem. Their team will need that inspiration in the second half of the season, especially during their run-in.

Re: Luke Ayling
Still annoyed at Bill.
No excuse for what he did.
The stupid thing about it is if he stays on his feet he is in behind and we will have players ready for the pull back because we always do.
It was a chance thrown away.
And the Ayling flop is cringe.
Not good Bill, dont do it again, personally id fine players for diving.

Re: Luke Ayling
Agreed, and we know MB doesn't encourage diving..Needs to cut that out of his game. Did he get booked for it?

Re: Luke Ayling
He didnt which made it even weirder.
The ref gave the freekick to Leicester (fairly sure he signalled for a freekick not a goal kick).
But didnt book Bill which made no sense.

Re: Luke Ayling
Sadly the prem league ...well the FA allow it...Even though it is against the rules and spirit of the game... it is so hypocritical you have pundits calling out Luke for diving because there was no contact, yet when the untouchables Kane, Salah etc etc do it, it is called creative and skillful, even with the slightest touch ... In Luke's defence he was coming in hard and I think he anticipated some heavy contact... the right call was made by the ref, which is not what happens with the untouchables ...

Re: Luke Ayling
Ayling not great last night but I'll forgive him as he has been brilliant for us, this season more than ever. Both Luke & Dallas have exceeded expectations at a higher level.
