Wonderful half. Just missing the gravy. A win here would be great confidence boost for the squad.

Spot on. Bielsaball is made for this more wide-open style of play. They can't cope. Beautiful to watch.

Leeds are playing really well. Pundits shearer, Beckford and Wright all full of praise,
They can't believe what they are seeing Shearer dumbfounded. Wright confused,
and Beckford rather suave saying Leeds play like this week in week out.

So far, the stage doesn't seem to big for him. Pressure goes up another notch now though.

We know Leeds are capable but can they turn their superiority into goals ?

This was always coming, a bit of an Arsenal backlash... nice Meslier save will help with the confidence
