Leeds United 1-1 FT. Crystal Palace Match Thread - Good Bad or Ugly???

[SG90]

At least there's still two weeks to fine tune stuff.

But only one game left though! I said the other day, Sunday-Friday is too long of a gap in pre-season.

[SnifferClarke]

Poor game but Aaronson playing well.

[SG90]

Hopefully next season we stay at home or just go to Europe. But obviously Radz' back pocket comes first.

[Victor_OTT_17]

We really don't look good tbh. I know the pitch is 5h1t but wow: very underwhelmed by what I've seen. We're playing half their reserves...

[1964white]

If this was the 5am game I’d be going back to bed.

[Cjay]

Koch 6ft3
Llorente 6ft1
Struijk 6ft3
Kristensen 6ft2
Bamford 6ft1

Isn't it nice to have some height

[Finnatic]

Impressed with Aaronson so far

[1964white]

Least impressive first-half of our friendlies, so far.

Doesn't help starting with Forshaw we've missed the calmness of Roca.

Rodrigo

Yes, Cjay

[Irish Ian]

It is hard at times, we push forward and my mind screams to get it out wide.

[Carrick Dave]

Aaronson looks busy but has achieved little so far, and his size means a big defender getting between him and the ball retains possession every time.

I’m not sure he gets the speed and physicality of the PL yet, but we were very keen to get him in so he must have something about him. Early days.

Only saw the last 10 mins of the half, but looks like an other tough season ahead

[Byebyegeegee]

I agree we’ve just about shaded it so far but nothing between the teams really. Struijk and Harrison working well on the left hand side. Shame Sinisterra didn’t get much of chance to show what he’s capable of but not untypical of Leeds’ luck with injury these days.

Ayew is the most miserable looking man in the world - if you don’t like playing football then don’t play son if it makes you so unhappy!

[60sUnited]

As others have said, not a great performance so far but I like the look of Roca...the pessimist in me says its gonna be a tough old season again

[Cjay]

The more I watch and see how cramped it is centrally and our lack of creativity.

The more I'd love us to take Juan Mata for a year.

He may not run about like a coked up rabbit but the man can pick a pass.

[Boo Radley]

This is really poor against an very under strength team. Very little cohesion and understanding in midfield - and I know there are new people in but there is no one picking up a ball and driving forward. Hoping for long balls and the odd overlap to open them up. Won’t work come Wolves.
Harrison and Aaronson are the best to date. Adams and Christensen are nowhere near the tempo. Rodrigo is shocking for a change!!

Thought I’d see some decent progress - not so far!

[Cjay]

Rodrigo has been s**t again

[Jaydog]

The more I watch and see how cramped it is centrally and our lack of creativity.

Coked up rabbit
Is Mata available?

[Victor_OTT_17]

Rodrigo has been s**t again

He's just about tied with Brolin for our worst striker signing ever in my mind! I really do not understand our scouting if they believed he was worth being our (at the time) most expensive signing! Maybe the same guy that scouted Costa et al...
