Two teams who cannot defend for toffee, both teams have massive issues to deal with, if Liverpools fullbacks are not the same team, Leeds will get found out massively this season, too slow at playing out from the back.

I don't remember when we get this kind of stupid penalties/defender mistakes in last minutes.
First gameweek and i am already sick

Would be funny as hell if Leeds equalised in the final minute

Leeds to go down? Will score goals but will concede far too many.
How you suggesting they’ll go down after watching this? Leeds had the best defensive record in the Championship last year and have strengthened with Koch. They’re playing Liverpool who’ve conceded 3 too!

I think they’ll push for EL places to be honest. Especially if their best players like Rodrigo, Philips, Harrison etc turn it up a gear in the Prem and they buy a couple other players - which seems likely. Predictions are between 7th and 9th

Looks like their record signing had money on Liverpool winning the game.

Bizarre tackle. One of the most daft ones I've ever seen. It's hardly as if the ball was falling to Leo Messi. It was Fabinho FFS.

Anyhoo fully expected Liverpool to win this. And based on last season they're easy favourites for the title,sadly. Hopefully they keep defending like they did in this game.

They have looked quite poor defensively today

Bielsa won’t last the season he’ll pull out on health grounds or something

Because they look fecked defensively against a underpar Liverpool and still conceded 4. They look very Norwichesque.

If I was a Leeds player I'd want to boot him around the dressing room. Off the bench and a lazy leg to piss away all their effort.

Whenever they’re in need of a goal...

Not quite Pickford levels of brain dead but feck me it’s close.

Liverpool will win the league again this season. They’re playing with the luck of champions.
Indeed. They're on a wave. This tide isn't disappearing all of a sudden. Especially when City are no longer great shakes.

Great news for us.

I mean if Liverpool are getting two penalties against these lot... Imagine how many we'll get :devil:

Also I'm playing football in the morning with a bunch of Leeds fans... Would have been intolerable if they'd got a result.

To make it even more sickening in the fantasy football I have Mane. My main rival has Salah, captained

This game is the very definition of the phrase “there is only so much a manager can do”.

We can’t really complain about penalties, but they are right jammy pricks.

Cooper is out and returns soon. He’s their best centre back.
