Newcastle Utd V Leeds Utd Match Thread/ Bielsa Unhappy!

[White Riot]

Perhaps the Leeds defence was told to not commit on Max.

Goodnight folks.

They seemed to enjoy standing watching him show his skills off

[Orange Box]

So throw on rookie against a player like STM playing at the top of his game in a high pressure situation like that?

Perhaps MB got that one correct.

Good enough? Old enough. Lets see eh? Anyway, Coops was looking after St M, sort of.
I’m looking at things from Cresswells POV, how does the lad feel when he’s overlooked like that ? I haven’t got a clue, but if he’s gonna be a good pro he should feel p:ssed.

Sky just said there was 16 shots on target between both teams, the highest so far this season.

[SG90]

Seriously when will Greenwood or Gelhardt get a chance instead? You can't tell me they'd be any worse!

[Carrick Dave]

Tyler has been atrocious since he came to Leeds full stop. He really is a headless chicken

Not according to some.

[Finnatic]

No I won't Shaggy

[Carrick Dave]

And the opposition might trip over it, but then the chicken would get a 3 match ban

[SG90]

Except for his mum and Faaip (probably the same person tbh), does anyone rate Tyler Roberts?

We are still to open and easy to get at.

[SG90]

We are still to open and easy to get at.

Even for a shot shy team like Newcastle!

[White Riot]

No, not at all

[Prisoner37]

3 CBs out and now fill-in Ayling injured.
YOUR TEAM NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!!

I'm off here - see ya.

[SG90]

Sorry but I can't see how we can change things. We are reliant on Raph to create eveything, the same players who get picked every week are past their best and we only have u23s to save us. But MB seems to think he's got it sussed and he's paid the big bucks.

[Carrick Dave]

Which keeper was made to work harder, Meslier or Darlow?

[Cjay]

Even for a shot shy team like Newcastle!

It's a concern, teams who are that easy to get at will concede goals.

[Cjay]

Which keeper was made to work harder, Meslier or Darlow?

Mes

Darlow didn’t make a save that I couldn’t have made, that’s how bad our finishing was!

Only Raph has the consistency in his final ball that comes with quality

James gives Costa vibes (speed merchant, not convinced he will work out).

Rodrigo has some quality but no consistency or tactical fit.

[Carrick Dave]

Darlow didn’t make a save that I couldn’t have made, that’s how bad our finishing was!

So a point was ok. We should have put it out of sight before the break.

Roberts is an enigma to me. Bielsa must see something in him because he sends him on in every single game and inevitably to no avail. I’ve never quite understood it! I’ve mentioned before that some players are luckier than others, in that even if they miss hit a pass or a shot the rebound goes to a team mate or still creates a chance, but in Roberts’ case that never happens, you know that every time he gets the ball it will end in an anti-climax.

I really have no idea why Bielsa persists perhaps someone could enlighten me.
