Leeds United v West Ham Utd - Match Thread

[1964white]

What a disjointed first-half that was

We're defending like schoolboys

We are wide open in the midfield

Klich is so frigging casual

WTF does Jack give us?

Rodrigo should have done better on a couple of occasions

So frustrating, I despair & I fear the worst if we don't buck ideas up

[NorfolkWhite]

Best you can do decent cross? I thought he put it on a plate for Paddy

Fair play....I’ll give you a “great”

[whiteswan]

Harrison gave a soft corner away before the goal

He was bullied off the ball. We need to wake up that this is the Premier league! Become men!

[YorkshireSquare]

Pablo on for Klich? Pinging balls in for Rodders and Pat?

[Cjay]

Yeah, shocking mate, as weak as Klichs penalty

That was weak to as you say

I’m looking at it the other way 64, if we play anything like 2nd half we will take this.

[Cjay]

In the interests of fairness.

I love Klich.

But he is well off today and also seems to be limping.

Have we finally broken him?

I'll settle for good which it was, no one is playing great but no one is playing poorly either..

[whiteswan]

Another enjoyable game of football to watch.

I love being in the Premier League, not only because it's great to be back at the top, but because the standard of football is so high.

Both we and West Ham are playing good football proving the depth of quality at this level.

Coops has been very good at the back, Klich here there and everywhere in the middle and Rodrigo having a very good game as well. Skillful and industrious, just like Bielsa likes them. Good to see Raphinha come more into the game as the half wore on as well.

You on the wine Harry?

[1964white]

Marcelo Bielsa

God help us, I'd prefer Alioski & that's saying something coming from me

[Velotrax]

Two mid table sides playing fairly good football.. We should have had a pen for the handball and their goal should have been an easy save for Meslier who has to own that error imo.

We've edged it for me

Agreed

On the negative side, we were piss poor from a corner again. Ours looked a little more dangerous at least with Raphinha instead of Phillips.

I thought Fabianski should have got sent off. It wasn't a collision. Bamford had him beat and he put out his arm to pull him down, otherwise Bamford was round him to score. Definite red card. And that hand ball we should have had? Granted the first handball was accidental, but after the ball hit the ground he swung his arm around again and handballed it - not accidental.

Nice through ball by Cooper for the goal then minutes later left laying on the floor with a missed sliding tackle.

Awful swat by Meslier - even Tim Howard said so

Ayling looked good at CB

Rodrigo was rusty for first half hour but came into game later. Same for Raphinha, getting involved later in half

Could do with a little bit more fluidity, stringing more passes together. But we should still be able to win this

[Irish Ian]

Dallas needs to support his right winger more, he keeps drifting inside.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

And they have looked far more threatening . Bowen always looks a good player imho

[Carrick Dave]

Pablo on for Harrison, Rodrigo moving out wide. We need a spark.

No change, we’ll concede again.

[Fridge]

[NorfolkWhite]

Costa and Shack coming on.

[Velotrax]

looks like Costa & Shacks coming on

[NorfolkWhite]

Harrison and Alioski off.

[Carrick Dave]

Who goes left back?
