Brentford 5-2 Leeds Utd Match Thread - Good footage from the opposition.

Don’t really think Jesse was that bad. Not surprised he was pissed of with some of the rank bad decisions. Ref in the Forest v Bournemouth game had the balls not to be bullied by VAR. Absolutely convinced the ref today knows he got the pen decision wrong

Got it right initially but was almost bullied by VAR to change his mind for no good reason other than the usual unofficial agenda.

Why no VAR for the Summerville penalty incident? his shirt was pulled outside the box & then inside the box the Brentford defender wrapped his arms around Jimmy's shoulders pushing him to the ground.

Yes, that’s what I meant. He knew it wasn’t a pen, looked at the monitor, got some nonsense in his ear and changed his mind.

MOTD boys said defo bad decision. Just a horrible game. Some pathetic twat arsed defending, awful ref, shite VAR.
The Jimmy foul is a joke. But honestly Llorente, ffs. And what on earth is Mes doing. You’re giving a team a 2 goal start playing like that.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Agreed Leon.

Balance will be restored soon enough

You're deluded! We are sh1te...

I said last week that Gelhardt was nowhere near Prem quality. In fact my elsdest son (Leeds since birth and now 31) says he's 5h1te. Deffo not good enough for the Prem. Buying no striker and no left back will be our downfall this season. Will Radz ever learn? I'll answer that: No! No he won't...

[Cjay]

That penalty was crucial because it meant we had to push forward and consequently made it easier for Brentford to break.

That wasn't a pen, more I've watched it it was a 50/50 and the fact It took so long shows it wasn't a clear and obvious error.

The Summerville one was a pen, lent on him and pushes him down.

Some great finishes by Toney however and that was the difference.

Bamford went through on goal.and should have atleast hit the target, he hit the corner flag.

He also missed from a yard out.

Gelhardt as well should have atleast hit the target 1v1 first half.

We were to clumsy and gave away cheap free kicks and Brentford took advantage on the break (as well as having all the luck, Toney wins that header for there goal and its offside).

We always seem to be in to much of a hurry to win the ball rather than stepping back. Sometimes you have to let the attacker have the ball and set yourself a yard back imo.

Clever players will take advantage if you are to tight as happened for the one where Toney eventually chipped the ball in.

Individual defensive errors cost us and have a few times this season.

But fundamentally the strikers made the difference.

There's was clinical whereas ours were wasteful.

[BlackHillsPaul]

I'm going to start praying every day for the health and fitness of Bamford and Rodrigo. IF by some miracle we can get them both healthy and match fit we can be a decent team. If not it get's complicated again...

Cjay is right about that first goal. Goals change games and that one certainly did. Frustrating that VAR inserted itself into the match in a way that was never intended...

[Tyzy]

Just seen the highlights, it must have been harder for Bamford to miss than score!, I could have put that awayOur defence,well it's like watching Fred Kanos circus absolute shambles

[Victor_OTT_17]

How bad is Llorente? Soz but our best 2 CB's are Koch/Struijk. Badly needed a LB (cos Firpo is not good enough) and need to play Struijk in his best position. Llorente costs us a goal every game...

[whiteswan]

Why wasn't Rasmus playing?

[Victor_OTT_17]

Why wasn't Rasmus playing?

Cos Ayling is back and he's 53.4 times better than Kristensen. And yes, I said fifty three point four times better

Ayling was on the bench, why didnt Rasmus start..... Injured already?

Not 100%, but i think i saw somewhere that he'd got a knock in training.

[Kennyb41]

This Forest game is now massive, ALL the other teams now have this Brentford game to analyse, if we get fcked over by Forest we're in a bit of do do to say the least.

The possession we had yesterday means Jack, we didn't use it well, Frank obviously had a plan of attck against us he probably learned by analysing our last games and that is worrying. We played ok going forward but no end product or serious threats, exposed all too easily on the counter, yes we definitely helped them with our own fck ups but Jesses got problems finding a balance.

Forest analysists will be all over that game, so this ones gonna be interesting to say the least to see how they play it and how Jesse responds to this 5-2 defence wise, oh! and we are a shambles trying to play the ball out from the back, i know why but best to not say, we used to be ok at it

[Kennyb41]

My stream was as weak as Llorente. Whatever anyone says about the validity of the Chelsea result can someone please explain wtf has happened since. How’s it possible.

Teams are doing their homework on us pal.

[Ellandback1]

Cold light of day, and hopefully can look at things more objectively.

Toney's strikes were World Class.

Our wall for Toney's second was pathetic. Adams got out of the way -he did not want to get hit by the ball.

Sinisterra will get 15 goals this season.

We press too high. Most of the goals we have conceded this season have been on the counter-attack.

Other clubs are blooding in youngsters a lot better than us!

Easy to finger point at Llorente. Yes, he has been poor in our last 3 games, but no other defender apart from Struijk are much better - and Cooper is not the answer.

[Irish Ian]

You're deluded! We are sh1te...

So you are giving up after six games?

[CHAPELALLMAN]

I couldn't believe Bamford's miss when I watched it on MOTD. It's probably the biggest miss that I've seen a player in a LUFC shirt ever make - bettter defending than anything that Brentford's CBs managed all afternoon. Maybe Lllorente and Bamford should swop positions ?

I think there's a dangerous assumption that Bamford will magically recapture his form from that first PL season. I suspect that his performance during that season will have been the peak of his career. Yesterday reminded me more of how Paddy was often derided for his finishing in the championship years. How easily we forget the Bamford/Nketiah debate. ' Barndoor Bamford ' was back with a vengence yesterday - and it wasn't about fitness and match sharpness. You don't need match sharpness as an experienced striker to tap in a yard away from goal.

As for Lllorente - I don't want to see him wear a Leeds shirt ever again.
