West Ham Utd v Leeds Utd. 3rd Round FA Cup

I agree JB, I think it will be necessary for MB to go to facilitate change and progress at our club.

Absolutely agree WR. Progress is being hindered now, he's done his job along with the players and it's time .

Tbf to Harrison 8 goals and 8 assists is a very respectable total.

But the fact there were no fans needed greater notice taken imo.

Harrison has admitted needing a Sports psychologist to cope (nothing wrong with that) but it does question his mental strength.

From a couple of hundred attempts at crossing not bad

It's over this season that I've come round to that way of thinking. We won't be progressing if MB stays another season.

We did ok, today, never going to win the match, but it wasn't an embarrassing performance.

I was afraid that today could go really wrong ‘64 but we acquitted ourselves well in the circumstances. Hjelde was excellent and the high point of the day. Bate did fine but was unlucky not to have more regular players playing around him.

Greenwood was always up against it as well, and without an experienced striker we were never going to win this one. Therefore, a joke of an offside goal and not getting the penalty for the handball damned us.

The other massive positive for us was that Meslier was not injured in that clash with Firpo. If he was, we would have been in massive trouble.

Let’s just hope we learn more from this game than they do.

This is nonsense.

With or without Bielsa, where is the money coming from to pay up the contracts of all the players Riot wants rid of?

Where is the money coming from to buy all the replacements needed when you’ve got shot of them?

We do need players but it will be evolution not revolution, and rightly so. And preferably with Bielsa in charge, though whether he’ll want to hang about that long remains to be seen.

Losing Meslier would be an absolute disaster, thought he was sound once again today. Mes is commanding his box much more efficiently of late, this type of good goalkeeping develops with more experience.

Klaesson is nowhere near ready for first-team football,

I hope that goal celebration doesn't end up relegating the club.

That celebration certainly hasn't helped our cause, especially with our other three strikers sidelined

I only hope those five clubs around us remain as bad as they currently are during the last five months of the season.

quality turn-out and support from LUFC fans today at the bowl.
didn't surprise tbh, but even so.
I recall a similar army in 89' at Upton Park when we were both in Div 2.
Leeds fans get a lot of stick, but for me a
Proper Club, proper support.

Hope you stay up..

Thanks Norm

We were taking 5,000 to Fulham (night games), 7.000 to Blackburn & selling out our allocations in the championship & League One.

Get yourselves on a decent cup run and I hope you do well. You’ll have to play better than that my friend but you do have the players to do it.

Antonio and Bowen show the massive difference between our sides at the moment. Bowen is having a fab season and could easily have been at ER if we would have pushed harder at the time. Antonio just blasts his way past defenders but is also a good passer and anticipates well.

Without Bamford or Gelhardt we have zero threat in the box. Greenwood is nowhere near the first team unfortunately. Without either of the former fit we will struggle in the box.


Thought Bate had a decent start and Heljde had a solid game. Summerville looks so much more dangerous than Harrison. He needs more game time.

Come on Leeds we need to splash the cash because apart from a handful of U23s we have zero backup.

I was right about Greenwood unfortunately no other No.9 options.

Antonio & Bowen are dynamic duo, they have developed into a handy strike force

Both came out of the championship, Antonio who has suffered serious injuries himself cost them £7m with Bowen snapped up from Hull for £18m.

Apparently from the YEP:

The YEP have reported that the goal was allowed to stand as both the VAR and AVAR felt that Bowen did not impact the ability of Meslier to attempt to make a save.

The phase of play was then re-set when the ball came off Vlasic again with and Bowen behind the ball it put him in an onside position.

The law on offside set out by the International Football Association Board, states: "A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by interfering by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or interfering with an opponent by preventing them from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball or clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball."
