Leeds vs Liverpool positives and negatives

[Cjay]

Please

negative :
its like bielsa football, my heart nerves go insane when we are open, i think the opposition score almost every chance against us (almost)
the defending needs improving big time

positive:
amazing point huge fight, very impressed
- we gave the scousers hope twice and then ripped it away, lovely
- my weekend just got good

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Positive ; 8 goals scored in 5 halves against City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Amazing.

Negative ; only Burnley have conceded more than us - and only by the one goal. Our defending is shocking. Out of our CBs I'm starting to think that only Rodon is PL quality. IMO Struijk switches off far too much, and Bijol has been a disappointment so far.

[SG90]

Positive: ER feeling like a fortress under the lights
Negative: Gifting them the lead playing out from the back. Conceding far too many goals.

[Irish Ian]

Positive. There are a few. DCL 3 goals in 3 games, Nmecha 3 goals in 4. Goals coming from midfield as well. But the double fighback was the highlight, this gives us real hope.

Neg. We have been porous of late and really need to tighten up at the back

This
very impressed with D.C.L but i think his awareness and positioning could be better sometimes
He can be quite clumsy and get in the way sometimes
Almost reminds me of a lean lukaku with hair

[Finnatic]

P. Spot on with the Positive, Ian.

N. The first two were mistakes rather than creativity by Liverpool, the third was just a good goal.

[Victor_Notts-17]

Positive: We fight til the end (now)

Negative: We concede far too many goals (and many soft/avoidable ones)

[John in Louisiana]

Positive: This team has real character. It's a pleasure to watch them fight.

Negative: Mental blunders that cost us at least two goals.

[Corkwhites]

Positives.
We fight until the end.
Negatives.
We need another tall striker in January.
We also need a quality CB.

[Tyzy]

Pos- Second half ,brilliant fight back.

Neg- First 50 minutes, sat back and let them run the show,going to sleep in defence.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Positives.
We fight until the end.
Negatives.
We need another tall striker in January.
We also need a quality CB.

We certainly don't need any more wingers if we are now using wingbacks.

Another striker and a CB are essential now. No way that Nmecha and DCL will stay fit for the rest of the season - they are both injury prone.

And we have to do something to bolster a defence with the second most no of conceded goals so far this season. The jury is still out on Bijol, though playing alongside two other CBs has seemed to suit him better. I'm still not sure about Struijk because of his lack of pace and a tendency to switch off from time to time.

N defensive errors are costing us dearly,perri kicking is terrible

P. Team spirit, 3 at the back works better,tanaka brill must start next time and Gnotto as well

[Cjay]

Positives- pro active changes, change of shape, increase in aggressive pressing and passing and eventual draw.

Negative-we seemed to settle for a draw until we were losing and then had to change as the progression and aggressive pressing only appeared after

[Barlow Boy]

Pos - A brilliant second half of football.

Neg - I can’t help thinking, at the very end, we should have thrown it into the area to see if we could nick the win. Everyone near me was screaming for us to do it.

[Pullhard]

Pos - dug out a result. Despite all the outside noise, managed to deliver 4 points in a zero points scenario. We adapted and survived.

Neg - slaughtered by individual mistakes. Prefer to focus on the positives

[Prisoner37]

+ We now have a managerial tactical genius.

+ Gnoto is a foul attracting machine.

+ Virgil van Dyke thinking he can do a Beckenbauer and getting turned down.

- I didn't go as my mate's band were playing a gig in York that was then cancelled at the last minute.

Bijol has had 2 games in his favoured formation and for me he’s been good, especially vs Chelsea. Be interesting to see how the 3-5-2 does against a slightly weaker side with Brentford next weekend. We can’t go through the whole season with this kind of away form especially as we have 4 out of the next 6 games so it had better improve things.

[Musicman1965]

Positive - 3 goals, Tanaka on the scoresheet again, a precious point at home.

Negative - First half Leeds played with no conviction. tired with no tempo to the game. Didn't help that the Manx Ref was bloody aweful.

[1964white]

Championship or even League One defending appears to be the general negative theme.

Rightly so, we were terrible at the back in the second-half, making elementary schoolboy errors.
