Okafor''s basically the Swiss Dan James.

Head down and run and hope for the best🤣

Certainly not a thriller by any means and 1-0 is always a dangerous scoreline. I just hope nothing bad happens in the second half and we don't stop, until we get enough goals.

Done enough against a poor side.

1-0 is a nervy score though.

Justin shot on target, Okafor's lack of footwork sees a good position evaporate

Don't think Tanaka is taking his chance, definitely seem to be missing the energy that Aaronsen brings. We seem to have dropped to Burnley's standard, possibly lower.

Hopefully Farke gives them a rocket at half time to wake them up a bit.

Okafor way too greedy as in the Chelsea game.
So many times he can pass & he doesn’t.
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

I would for the second half, he looks to be millimetres away from a f*** up at the back.
Had some good moments though.

Watch every time there is a cross in the box
He is miles away from it, and puts in the most tame poor effort and flaps at him

It always misses him by far, and in the games he does connect with it, its woeful

A guy his height and strength and only 29 (supposedly at his peak), it is unexcusable - it should be bread and butter (think a Les Ferdinand.)

I also want to say, if he had injuries this season people would have blaming it on fitness

He has ZERO excuse, it comes down to poor IQ. Something Everton said for the best part of a decade.

Yes, he did great in those few months earlier, yes he has contributed big time and if we stay up, he has absolutely done his part - But should be doing so, so much more.

Non existent apart from clearing the ball for Burnley with the side of his face :roll:

Pretty good game so far without Leeds really getting out of 3rd gear.....

Stach wonder goal..... Would have liked another to negate the chance that they'll probably get but good.

Tanaka weakest of the bunch though.... Their only half chances have come from his mistakes/awareness but he's not been overly bad. Would like Longstaff on.... Not sure what he has to do to get a game. Great cameo's of late and for me looks better in game than Tanaka has (manu game aside).

Good so far but need to apply more pressure to avoid a late upset. Mot.

Half time.

Tanaka has taken some abuse on and off the ball, with the ref turning a blind eye.

Great hit from Stach, but we’re not making promising moves count since.

1-0 is not going to be enough here I think, get it sorted Daniel.

Mon Leeds.

I’ve backed him all season long, but my enthusiasm for him is waning.

Tanaka has been on fire

Apart from the waste of a chance, he has been first to every ball :fire: :fire: :fire:

Agreed,
Plus, Rodon and Struijk both on yellows.
