Jeez How good is Jack Harrison getting? He's the best player on the pitch by a distance.

It's a similar story one we've seen many times with Leeds. Fantastic play dominating but not putting chances away.

Gotts just wanted that a little too much and rushed it, that's an inexperience thing

What an awesome performance so far apart from being absolutely woeful in front of goal. Just PULL THE TRIGGER. Can't understand the issue.

Harrison has never been my favourite player but he's been awesome tonight, best player on the Park so far without doubt

Have to agree, the change in him over the last year and a half has been amazing. Just needs to add goals to his game plz!

Leeds have done 3vwrything but score.

Apart from being the story of my life that is the story of our last season and a half.

We're showing we belong, Bielsa ball will succeed in the top division and it's Arsenal looking gassed.

Doing us proud so far, the Prem needs us back. Bielsaball will be far more suited to the top flight away from that morass of hulking potatoes in shorts.

So proud!

Playing them off the park, they are still dangerous but hopefully we are fitter than them.
