Not Dallas' best half either blowing quite a few good positions

Was thinking half way through the half, this game is calling out for Pablo

Costa the only one to track that run from El Ghazi as Coop fell asleep

Seems to take something away from our attack having him at LB

He's played well there before but I do wonder how much he's played with Raph down that left side.

Been following Leeds now for over 2 years. Watched every match. Don't mean to speak ill, but don't know if Roberts is a Leeds player. Cooper screaming at him last match to get back on defense faster. Does not have the touch or finish of the other players. Personally I would have started Alioski at LB and Dallas slipped into midfield. Pretty certain Dallas has the touch and intelligence to play that position like a natural. Might just be a Dallas bias rather than a Roberts dislike.

Huggins on for Costa
Llorente has played DM for his previous clubs - no idea why he isn't being used there.

Better LB than Ali but we don't seem to attack as well without him in midfield, just a thought on the last game and a half

Embarrassing rolling around by Llorente.
Embarrassing dive by Villa player when Costa touched him on the shoulder.
I know they don't enforce the 6 second goalie rule but Martinez is taking the piss. Walking from one side of the area to the other. He had the ball in his hand for 20 seconds the last time I timed him.
Come on Leeds lets take this!

Think it's obvious why he's playing right sided CB, I even said he would be pre match
