Yep, Sky made a point of showing him booting it into touch.

JFH made a good point that he's a left-footer and that the defence are still playing it back to his right side, as they would to Kiko - sure MB will get this fixed.

All in all Meslier did well, but I still feel our defending of set-pieces (which is usually the only threat we face each week) is woeful.

Really happy with that. The early goal second half killed Hull and allowed us some space at the back and we ripped them to shreds. Bamford face after Roberts second was priceless. I hope he is comfy on that bench because he should have double the goal tally he has and his all round play seems to be dropping now too, just can’t handle the pressure of playing for Leeds. Roberts and Augustin should both be ahead of him now.
Klich is a machine, Harrison is the most improved player in the league and Meslier looks more than able to be our number 1. Win against Huddersfield and things will be looking very good indeed, now come on Preston!!

One of the best, if not the best, performances of the season for me. Looked like we were going to score everytime we went forward.

Early days but Meslier looks an improvement on casilla for me.

Bamford still awful is the only downside, as well as perhaps Costa and Harrison not scoring (Harrison was awesome though, Costa played well too)

Also what a header from Tyler that was. Not sure bamford would have even been there to get on the end if it... Either that or it would have end up straight at the keeper

Fantastic result - I sometimes think I jinx the game when I get onto the matchday thread so I've stayed away for most of these 4 we've won on the trot.
Frustrating to do that but hey, if it works, it works. It may just be a coincidence but you know we've just done exactly what we didn't do last year.

Great stuff - long may it continue.

Some good scores (for us) at half time for some of the others - we'll see how that pans out.

Hopefully some of you now will understand the point I was making, that point at Brentford was a big point for them for many reasons,
Leeds United could well go on and win the league now, we've got more chance of catching the corona virus than we have of catching them.

But he took both chances very well, suited him coming on when we were 2 up imo and Hull bit more open.

Flat 1st half, much better 2nd, for once our shooting and final ball wasnt piss poor, once or twice yes but much better.
Roberts did well but people going a bit over the top in regards to Bamford. The match situation usually sees Bamford in a penalty box with at least 9 opposition players as they park the bus whereas when Roberts was on Hull were committing men forward and there was loads more space. Great though that it will give Roberts confidence and the whole team beginning to get more confidence that we can score. Shame Costa and Harrison didn't score as the more players scoring the more goals will come in future matches.

Amazing the difference goals make to games. Because we scored early it forced Hull to come and play at us in the first half and at that point they still have energy. In the second half the early goal knocked the stuffing out of them and although they then tried to take the game to us their energy levels weren't anywhere near the same as the first half so it became easier and easier for us to pick them off and swarm forward.

There was a very early time when the ball was played back to him on his wrong foot and he had to take a touch with the Hull player closing in. He looked a little nervy but after that looked fairly settled.
