Leeds vs Newcastle MOTM

[Jammy 07]

Premier League clubs are strange & reckless!

It’s possible they’re too data focused rather than just trusting your eyes.

[Jammy 07]

Seems our fans are now starting to see what Okafor has in his locker.

It was always there if you looked.

[The Subhuman]

Tarik was magnificent once again, certainly saved Tanaka's bacon, a mistake often in his game, apart from that blip & another slack pass, Ao was very good.

Maharemovic's numbers off the scale, outstanding!!!

7 passes (1 assist)
7 defensive headers
4 defensive clearances
2 headed passes
2 intereptions
1 goal-saving block
1 tackle
1 run

25 excellent/very good pieces of play

Tanaka also saved Muha's bacon after he lost possession in defence. Dodgy start from Muha yesterday I thought, couple of early minor errors. Much better second half with just the one error

I insisted he started ahead of Aaronson & Wilson.

Yes, he has lots of skills in his locker & gives us the necessary pace upfront. Noah has high shots/on target ratio, he rarely misses the target. He also improving defensively.

A fantastic strike through a ruck of players last night.

I also love his song.

Yeh but apparently Gnonto is technically superior so should have been starting in his place.

Also last season some were saying that Willie was as quick as Noah which just proves you need to be at the stadium to see it for yourself.

This is the important bit for me, he’s actually started tackling people in midfield.

Could be the reason why Bayoha hasn't made an appearance yet.

Muharemovic was outstanding again last night, his contribution was immense, an assist & goal-saving challenge was just part of the many good things he produced over the ninety minutes. Our most consistent player over our first four games, Tarik has settled immediately into Premier League football.

My hot take is, come the end of the season, everybody will be lauding Maharemovic as our Player of the Season.

[1964white]

Jayden Bogle is MOTs Man of the Match.

Bogle was involved in two of our goals & three of our eight clear chances we created.

[Ratscoot]

Good to see Calvert-Lewin receiving a top vote, Rat.

He's an absolute beast, works his socks off, unlucky not to have a hattrick last night, one of Dominic's goals stolen off him.

100% I thought he was immense, and it proves if we get the ball to him and support around him, not only will he score but he creates things, such as Bogles fabulous goal

A good old fashion No.9.

[The Subhuman]

DCL got a yellow which means a 0.5pt drop in the way I score.. or he might be higher up in my ratings. I always deduct half a point for a yellow, deserved or not. 2 points off for a straight red, second yellow would be another point off on top of the half point

[John in Louisiana]

Jayden Bogle is MOTs Man of the Match.

Bogle was involved in two of our goals & three of our eight clear chances we created.

They just took away our second goal from Bogle and gave it back to DCL.

Excellent and rightly so, John

I was never crediting the bullet header to Bogle.

Got me a few extra fantasy points, too/

Well, only one, actually.

A bit of an unfair system to use, bearing in mind the standard of refereeing is so poor!

Referees hand out cards like confetti these days.

I'm unsure Tanaka's shot was on target, credit to Ao for taking the shot on though.
