Well, I still enjoy Leeds United game more than Arsenal's currently. I want to be entertained when I watch football.
Well said. United fans have been banging on for years about how we could handle mixed results if we were good to watch. So we’re the last people who should be criticising them right now. I’d swap Leeds season to date with ours (apart from CL games anyway) in a heartbeat.

Leicester's set up is perfect for away games.

Be interesting to see if they will fritter or stand up against Liverpool.

Overrated in what sense ? Nobody expects anything from them but they have came to PL and attacked everyone which is better than what West Brom and Fulham have done
Overrated in the sense they get way too much praise in the media. The Bielsa love in is just a circlejerk at this point.

Of course they're better and more ambitious than West Brom and Fulham but that really wouldn't be hard. They're two of the worst PL teams I've ever seen.

Vardy is world class, without him Leceister would be half the team.

When we drill Istanbul and as good as qualify for the next round on Wednesday, opinion will swing back.
It'll be one of those seasons.
We'll all be on the same page come January or February, at which stage it will be too late to recover our season and we're fighting for Europa League again.

Bielsa got the praise he deserved with the players he has. Pogba + De Hea's salary together may be more than the sum of Leeds United's total.

This is surprising me. We are missing the entire back four, Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu and Castagne, as well as Ndidi from midfield!

Leeds' passing is really poor today. Probably due to the rain.

Yeah looking forward to that and having United fans throw every insult back at you for questioning Ole for the past few months. :rolleyes:

Going in circles under Ole and will never be on the right track ever
I would agree, IF i thought the big problem wasn't with the running of the club above manager level.

we're basically forced to play this way right now, every fit defender we have is in the match squad and our entire first choice back 4 is currently out injured, it will be interesting to see how we do play when Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu and Castagne are all available, especially as Fofana has been brilliant since his debut

Why are refs so terrified of booking players for diving? That was one of the worst dives this season.

If I was ref it would be fecking zero tolerance.

is it just me or are Martin Tyler and Alan Smith talking as though Leeds are some unstoppable juggernaut?

This on the line stuff is weird to me, I swear those sort of challenges have always been deemed to be outside the box without var
