How did we allow Pepe to score against us?! :lol:

I'm terms of value for money, he's probably one of the flops of the season.

What has he done in his career? He's a man still living off his spell at Bilbao 7 years later which since then has been 1 season at Marseille a few months at Lille and now a year and a bit at Leeds

Leeds were the best team in the Championship last season and are by far the best one this season. Stop looking just at the results. And there was nothing embarassing about not being promoted last season. One of these words (like fraud) that renders your point meaningless.

They're fodder. They dont add anything to the league. No fan gets up in the morning excited that they're playing brighton home or away.

Leeds bring that excitement back, pretty sure most teams fans will love an away day or home match against leeds again.

Good to see Arteta is still implementing that style. Not sure what style it is but he’s implemented it.

Don't see the difference with Leeds apart from it being big games for us with another rival back in the league.

Glad to see the new hard working Ozil has reverted back to the invisible Ozil.

Leeds were an absolute laughing stock before he came in, the way he turned them around in addition to playing champagne football with a bunch of nobodies is the definition of world class coach.

Shades of that CL home game versus Barcelona in 2010 which somehow was goalless after 45 minutes.

Turning on the game now which means Arsenal will definitely score.

This has been an absolute battering. Leeds should have this all wrapped up.

Same when West Ham, Southampton and others played Arsenal and messed it up. I think the only easy win Arsenal have had in the league is against us which says a lot about us.

Okay that interested me - Mental ??

So I googled him, a great background, no wonder he has Leeds playing well, known as El Loco
and just reminded about Spygate as well

And making Leeds players spend 3 hours collecting Rubbish outside the training ground, to help them appreciate the supporters

Can you imagine any of our squad doing that.

Leeds are playing the way Solskjaer should be managing our team. They are set up extremely well but the individual quality of the players is hindering their productivity at goal. We on the other hand are set up badly but have individual quality to galvanise results that's why we have no consistency. Biesla is in a different league to Ole so it's comprehensively understandable why they are playing effectively.

I'd suggest winning league titles and Champions Leagues is the definition of a world class coach but whatever

Leeds look quality. Another team with a clear style of play, that go out and play with purpose. It’s so frustrating and ultimately depressing to see teams with budgets that pale in comparison to ours playing vastly superior football.

Say all you want about Ole not having the right players for the job etc but even with a fully fit squad he’s never shown any sign he is capable of implementing a game plan and other than hitting teams on the counter, arguably the most primitive form of attack, no sign of taking the game to the opposition.

Aber wie! (That's best left in German - the english version that really fits perfectly eludes me).

Anyway, I agree.

Bielsa is the professor of football, everyone looks up to him. Unfair to compare him to such a newbie Ole Gunnar is .

Very impressed by Leeds so far except their finishing obviously.

Arsenal are trying the same press that worked so well against United but Leeds are just playing their way out of it every time.

Love how in discussion about playing football, some get in panic mode, have nothing to spin and just start throwing, results, winning trophies and other non related shit back.

Bill Shankly once took his Liverpool players down the mines & said to them that the next time they're feeling sorry for themselves, or feel hard done by, just remember how some people have to earn their living.
