I do kind of admire leeds in the sense that they've been crippled with Injuries, to their best players too and just got on with it.

Better than Arsenal but it’s starting to feel like we’re not going to find a breakthrough.

I can’t pinpoint when exactly it happened, but Firmino is done as a top player.
You obviously watch a lot more of him than me, but I’m a big fan of Firminio, would love to have him or a player like him at OT.

Same, and their work rate is phenomenal. Imagine the reaction of our players to Bielsa’s intensity, there’d be more than 11 of the squad dissatisfied!

You wouldn’t enjoy watching him. He doesn’t have a clue how to score goals any more.

I’ll take anything right now.

Can anyone explain why Leeds (and Everton) have had to stack the bench with kids and give debuts to reserve team players over the last few weeks but the one and only time Arsenal had to do this they had their fixture postponed?

Has the PL given up any remaining pretence of being a fair contest?
Shocked that you jump on the Arsenal finger pointing my man.

Not like 20 other games have gone the same way or anything. You think those clubs had 15 covid cases?

Bloody Dan James, it was laid on a plate for and he decided to curl it from the edge of the box :mad:

Can’t believe Everton let Benitez sell Digne then sacked him a few days later, what Evertonians think of this?

3 goals from corners in these 2 games. It's not rocket science. Our delivery is so poor compared to other teams, it has to be addressed.

I don’t like West Ham’s back 4. They’re all quite poor.

West Ham really bottled it last year and fell away and I can’t see them doing that again this year after another good first half. Losing to Leeds reserves would be a disastrous result.

I remember when Mourinho was considering spending £50m on Diop..

James seems to feck up everything he does no matter how simple..

Brentford need to be a bit braver here. This Liverpool team is pretty average without Mane and Salah.

No keeper on the planet gets near that free kick. So unlucky off the post.

Leeds doing more with 3/4 of their squad out than we do with barely anyone out.

Also putting all the teams that have called off due to “Covid” to shame.

watching the West Ham v Leeds game, two things are obvious: 1) Rice would be an upgrade on our midfield 2) Raphinha is good enough to get in our current team... cue the abuse

This has been so sloppy at times. Jota should’ve made it 2-0 but it wouldn’t surprise me if Brentford equalise.

Bielsa wouldn't put up with the sheer laziness in our squad. Most would be out the door ASAP.

It’s accurate. Rice is quality and only going to get better. A big club will snap up Raphinha. Hopefully not Liverpool.

I think this notion has been well documented on here.
