Leeds Utd v Middlesbrough Match Thread

I am

I like everything I've seen from him in the U21s and for Spain U21s. Apart from the Chelsea game last year, he hasn't done anything of note for the first team. Definitely needs to take another step.

James has been brilliant 1st half

Man of the match for me so far I think, been out best outlet for the past few games

I think that step from U21 to first team is massive, the lack of space, the pace the game is played at. He does loads of good stuff, his movedment is good most of the time, just everthing is just that bit quicker and ne needs to anticipate more.

I didn't realize Wober would so effective as an attacking full back. We knew he was a better defender than Firpo. I think he does everything better than Firpo

If I'm not mistaken, AJS, contrary to the free kick in the first half, he's not supposed to be a slouch at those either.

[Onemanstanding]

Good game, we should be 3-4 goals up though, hopefully we can perform as well second half.

[whiteswan]

Entertaining, not sure I'd call it enjoyable

[Carrick Dave]

Does loads of good stuff, then does something really frustrating

Frustrates the crap out of me generally Adam, but good tonight. Should have scored though, sitter.

Curates egg for me... some good, some overplayed.

Same here YS, his all round play has been excellent

[AcrossThePondAsh]

Aaronson very good, Joseph very good, I hope he scores.

Tanaka is so composed, ice in his veins. Best playmaker since Saiz/Pablo.

This. Between that and the fact that his head is constantly on a swivel those are apt comparisons.

[Finnatic]

Unless we get another, the last half hour will be torture
Once we take off Aaronson, Gnonto and James, the replacements won’t graft as hard as they have so far

[The Subhuman]

Few balls left short playing out there starting with a poor Wober ball to Struijk

[The Subhuman]

James overhits and draws the foul

Worber was excellent in the Bundesliga last year. I had every reason to believe that he COULD be terrific in the Championship. Depends on where is head is at. The Jury is still out for me. But he has looked good the last two weeks.

Tanaka is like a pigeon isn't he? Sees the world at a different speed to normal humans!

[BlackHillsPaul]

Good save!!
