This is a exciting 0-0 so far, Leeds really need a top striker, there pace to get from there box to Villas is amazing but no real end product which is a problem for over 2 years

Not sure what channel this is, but good to see the legend Andy Townsend in the studio, with Jimmy Flloyd.

McManaman who I don't normally mind is making a few odd comments. Reckoned Ayling, who was shoved over by Konsa awaiting a corner was "trying to get him booked".

Leeds sure do a lot of huffing and puffing without blowing the house down. Expect they’ll run out of steam as they did vs Wolves and Villa will snatch a winner. Also good to see Bamford is back to his finishing of last season. Long may it continue..

They got promoted last year and got nearly 80 league goals. I wouldnt say scoring is an issue for them.
THey would be more dangerous if they had a really good striker

Don't get all the bashing of Leeds defense for their game against Wolves. Wolves had 3 shots on target. One direct at the keeper, one ruled out for offside and the final one was a huge deflection which gave them the goal.

Leeds have a big issue with finishing. In Rodrigo, they seem to have bought a player who is as bad as Bamford at finishing, and yet is even worse in his overall play!

Loving the way the Leeds players are able to play in multiple positions - CB to DM, RB to LCB, LB to RB, AM to LB, etc. Far cry from teams which need to have 'left-footed center backs' to avoid leaking goals.

Yeah but if they scored early they battered teams they have plenty of these matches last season. My dad is a big fan so I watched them a lot. They had the most clean sheets in all of England last season. This kind of match like Wolves in Monday was a common thing last season too

When we meet leeds we have to pack our midfield and play on counter. Lure them to us and hit them. This team will never sit back.

Leeds are so quick going forward it’s amazing. I really like Bielsa top manager
And they are finding each other so easily like football made simple. Biesla has set up this team brilliantly. The system has its flaw but super entertaining nevertheless.

Yeah I have a soft spot for Leeds because of dad being a big fan but I don’t like them I dislike most of their fans. I only really wanted them back in the league because they are a big club and I like our rivalry (hope we smash them) but they are great for the PL they are exciting to watch

I am not even watching it. I have just been reading the comments in here. :lol: Should have learnt not to do that by now.
He missed some glorious chances. Being at right position is his strength. Here he was there to pick up tap in from gk fumble.

Can barely blame Mings for his reaction.

Mings picking Bamford up by the scruff of his neck and chucking him back down, while on a yellow. :lol:

That's probably about a 0.8 Pepe.
