Man this Leeds team might be my fave ever team to watch. Very easy to stop at 4-0 down but they keep going.

Fav team to play against as well because they are pretty shit.
They got a point against us sadly. Wish every team played as they do. Football would be a whole lot more entertaining.

James deserved that, it's been his best game for United in ages.

Isn't it his only game for United in ages?
Yeah, but I mean when he's actually played. He's really struggled, even in his cameos. This performance compared to his one against Chelsea is night and day.

I know I was joking, he's been quite good today and for all the shit Ole gets, it was a great decision to play him for his pace on the counter instead of Pogba.

Yeah for sure, deserves credit for his match prep for this game.

Heck of a game! If it weren't for Martial's utterly dreadful finishing we'd be approaching 10 goals in this game :lol:

Mind you, 15 left, we still might...

I’d have a heart attack if I was a Leeds fan
I imagine they see so many goals they've become immune to them. They're like "The first 4 goals in any game don't matter, its the 8th and 9th that decide the winner"

It’s bloody mental. It reminds me of school football matches

Could easily be 10-4. Both teams have missed some sitters.

Especially with the level of player they have. You could understand someone playing like that with a world class squad but with a team of championship players in the prem its insane. I mean they could have scored 5 today and you could have scored about 12.

They've been smashed 6-2 and Sky still peddling the narrative of 'Leeds still enjoying it'
Bore off
I wouldn't say enjoying it but there is no other team in the world who would play the way they did or with the fire they did at 6-1 down.

Massive difference in class in the end and Ole nailed his tactics.

Re Mourrinho,

Surely it’s cowardice to set up to stop every “big side” you play against EVERY time.

The players eventually get tired at having to stop opposition rather than expressing themselves.

They (Leeds) ain't challenging for the league, Europe a big longshot and very unlikely to go down.

In those conditions surely the fans would prefer having some fun as opposed to merely existing with 0-0's or 1 either way most weeks like a Stoke/Burnley, no?

As long as relegation zone isn’t in sight, may as well go all out

So on the same weekend earlier in the season Liverpool and us concede 7 and 6 respectively

This weekend they score 7 and we score 6
