Leeds United vs Crystal Palace - Match Thread

[Chilli D]

Two things are pretty obvious
Palace won't be pushovers
They haven't come just to get a point

Dreadful so far.... Both sides nervous but very half arsed from Leeds at the moment. Epitomised by two missed easy clearances where gudmundsson and bogle missed the ball leading to decent counters.

They look slow, ponderous and not going into challenges to win them at moment. Gudmundsson poor but coming back from injury. Reversal to the Newcastle game. Stach especially I don't thinks firing yet... Definitely seem to tick over in attack when he's on it.

That said Ampadu looks our best bet so far. Doing his hardest to get us going. Muhamedovic/elvedi looking good, okafor frustrating but probably our only attacking outlet of any sort.

Farke needs to do something half time. Getting smothered in midfield at moment with palace closing up the space to the wing backs..... Be interested to see if they've matched us up formation wise.

Bit harsh I think. Not going to physically sominate this lot like we did Newcastle.

These back 5 vs back 5 games are a miserable affair

[White Riot]

Very scrappy from both sides and not a good watch so far.

Semenyo 3-2 City

Can we not cross the ball?

How the managers change things up at the break is going to be crucial here

WTF

Farke not happy, which is good to see

[Finnatic]

Well played, Tanaka.
Good tackle.

[The Subhuman]

Not the first time this season we've been poor first half. Forest and Brentford spring to mind

Unless Farke can get us playing with more urgency in the second half this has smash n grab written all over it.

Trafford - 6.5
Bogle - 6
Gudmundsson - 6.5
Ampadu - 7
Justin - 6.5
Elvedi - 5.5
Muharemovic - 7
Stach - 6
Tanaka - 7.5
Okafor - 7.5
Calvert Lewin - 6

[SG90]

I'd get Bogle off for Bijol and Justin at RB

Bringing on Aaronson and James ain't gonna change things up

I'd look at Nmecha, as he changed the game v Brentford

Yep, get the fkn teacups flying

Been thinking that all half.

May get to see Bahoya at least for 30 min.

Ref reminds me of a part time umpire in a local cricket game.

Rookie prem league ref I think
