Three absolutely crucial points.
A very gritty defensive display in the second half. Credit to Burnley for lifting in the second half/

Baggies will probably batter Liverpool.

PHEW! Gawd that was uncomfortable!
What a game from Kalvin. He was everywhere while walking a tightrope. Really showed up today.

Re: Leeds Utd v Burnley Match Thread - Pascal Struijk replaces the injured Liam Cooper
Dreadful.
Should have been 1-1 anyway.
In the air Meslier is dire.
KP and Ayling did well but the 2nd half especially was so poor. Burnley had more shots than us today, says it all really, we made Burnley look an ok team.
3 points though so thats ok.

Thank god for that!
Don't like pragmatism, can we go back to 4-3 and 5-2 every week?

Clean sheet
Thought we defended reasonably well.
80% of Burnley’s forward play came from us (I’m sick of repeating myself) giving the ball away when under no pressure whatsoever.

Re: Leeds Utd v Burnley Match Thread - Pascal Struijk replaces the injured Liam Cooper
Not impressed but who gives a f**k , it's all about the points. To be pinned back for 45 mins by a very average team is disconcerting but allowing for all our injuries I don't suppose we can expect any more. Meslier looking more and more dodgy at the set pieces but at least he's coming out more and trying to dominate his area. Another 3 pts against wba or even a draw and it will have been a good Xmas for us.

Re: Leeds Utd v Burnley Match Thread - Pascal Struijk replaces the injured Liam Cooper
Why won't Meslier catch the ball? Always with the punching.
Burnley upped their game in the second half.
Pope MOTM for Burnley, to be sure.
The USA studio crew still can't shut up about the call on Meslier.

Re: Leeds Utd v Burnley Match Thread - Pascal Struijk replaces the injured Liam Cooper
Important to get the win, clean sheet big too. Especially against a giant, physical who are reliant on set pieces. Defended much better today, as I said before with Struijk we look better than with Cooper. Ayling and KP terrific today. Dyche needs to stop complaining all the time.

Burnley putting a bit of form together, accumulating the points now. Good three points for us!

Burnley had a lot of play but didn't create anything of note. Pablo chance was the best of the second half.
