Rodrigo is out left doing Alis job half the time.

Bruce likely to put that lump Carroll on in the second half with Gayle and Shelvey the other subs. They'll offer a lot more threat with those three on the field. We will need to put away our chances to get anything out of the match (redundant as that may be).

We should be looking to win this now. Newcastle are really poor.

The Newcastle goal notwithstanding, much, much better from Leeds so far.

Good half for us, their goal was well worked and helped by Klich being in the rightback position. Not sure who was beaten at the near post but once we were they were favourites to score

Rodrigo player of the half for me, Raph not far behind.

Personally think only the west ham game where we have been poor. We may lack quality but can't fault the effort. One or two just don't look good enough imo . Sure we will improve.

Better than Friday.

Rodrigo and Raph look quality.

Roders playingbthe 10, think you'll find the 10 in our system plays that way. Saiz did as did Pablo, even Roberts took the left side at times.

Yeah it was Ayling who should have done better and attacked the ball..Dallas was dragged out of position and left Klich to deal with the wide left player

If we don't end up beating this lot then we really will be in trouble. After watching that first half, 3 points is a absolute must. Newcastle are poor, really poor, we may be playing them at the right time due to their players being out so we have to capitalize. Other than the weak goal conceded its been fairly comfortable. We should be 2/3 up at least. Must do better in the final third.

Come on Leeds we know they will throw the big guns on late in the game so we need a 2 goal cushion.

Header out stared it technically but it was Klich's lovely ball that was the key

Looking at their goal.

Klich was the covering defender for their cross. He's been booked too.

I posted just above you, he should have done better as he looked in better position but waited for the ball

It would have been terrible to go in one down after that much control of the game. We’re missing some good central runs by Bamford and Rodrigo in particular in favor of going wide. Harrison’s delivery from the right has been poor. It’s often blocked or over hit. Raphinha on the other wing is more likely to pick out someone, like he did for the goal.

Alioski fell asleep for their goal and completely lost Hendrick allowing a simple tap in. So brittle in defence now it’s scary.

I think someone’s had a word with Harrison & Alioski, much better than last time so far.

Rodrigo is screaming to be involved, and Raphinha poses a treat all the time - 25% improvement in shot accuracy and we win this comfortably.

I love to watch this team when we push on, when we lose our focus we look aimless - so far tonight we look good, and fair play to Paddy, he’s starting to look like a real sniffer.
