On farke for me.... Fell apart after the sub's. Either defend the f**k out of it or keep the same team on.

Taking DCL off on 86 mins caused this for me.... An extra 10 minutes I can't see making a huge difference in this game when there was an opportunity to win. Odd game with the extra 10 can't hurt.

Was stach injured? Again...... Why bring him off with his height.... Knackered, sure.... As their midfielders were able to play on and were also knackered. Bring on a winger centrally.... 😂 cut us to pieces after.

We looked shoddy against manu when we took players off.

Great game but that's a needless punch in the dick.

Hopefully we can bounce back but kicks in the teeth like this can cause problems ..

DCL, Stach and Gruev were all gassed with 15 mins to go.
They had all had immense performances. Their replacements got no where near that level of impact or performance.

Not sure this stat is correct but apparently Leeds are the first and now second team to lose in the prem when taking the lead 3 times in a game, last game was spurs in 2022.

An open game like that can go either way and today we are the losers, doesn’t take away from the fight and effort we put in to a remarkable game.

Great game, entertaining just the wrong result. Certainly don't look out of place.

No need for an overreaction. He's not great, but he's also not terrible.

That was a mental game, and we lost as didn't control it well enough once we had lead on 80 mins. some fantastic points (like
Aaronson being really good!
Stach being dyanamic
Gruev passing in the 2nd half
Justin and Gudmonsson being strong.

Great game.

Started really well and front foot.

Showed character to take the lead again multiple times.

BA finding a level of composure didn't know he had.

Stach a driving force in midfield and Justin and Struijk making goal saving challenges.

Impetus with Newcastle towards the end as we sat deeper and the subs didn't work.

Losing the lead multiple times and the game is bad .

I've defended Perri but he makes me more and more nervous.

Hopefully Rodon isn't too hurt, few walking wounded it seems.

No doubt Newcastle were fortunate to win.
But Miley at the corner flag should never get near the 18 yard box.
No idea what Aaronson is doing for the pen.
Corners were a mess.
But fair play to Farke & his players. Some thought we were playing for a draw beforehand.
Desperately unlucky to lose but we definitely look a PL side.

He's championship at best, hesitant, poor shot stopper, really bad with ball at feet. There's a reason he's been a career back up.

It was. But the pinball to Harvey Barnes was painful to watch.
