At the time they were battering on the door tbf, improved since the subs -

Yea, I'll give you that re Cannon, I guess it's preplanning given Vardy and Nacho are out of contract this summer but still... The high wages on poor players is a huge issue -

Marcals footwork is good, just needs a bit better decision making on when to release but that'll come with experience. Get him a low championship/high L1 loan next season -

True, but even then we're stacked in positions we don't need to be and really weak in key positions (5 senior CMs vs 4 strikers) -

Is that not a foul on Ricky ref? Came through the back of him -

Ultimately what we're seeing is that our squad depth is pretty poor. Really imbalanced but that's the legacy of Rodger's and Congertons mismanagement on recruitment and can't be fixed in a single summer -

I mean half our team are the kids -
If he wants to be here in the prem I'd not be saying no to it, I think his skillset works well for the number 8 role but it all depends whether he's a confidence player who was just completely mentally broken by Rodgers, or whether he's just got a shit attitude. In reality, it'll be a Praet or Slimani situation, just a series of loans until his contract expires

Leeds United (A) 3-1 - Post-Match Thread

I mean if we're fact checking the "we are champions of Europe" chant there's other places to start -
Leeds United (A) 3-1 - Post-Match Thread

Except Rotherham. -
I mean given in the game at Portman road the ref missed a stonewall pen on KDH and gave one yellow for Harness committing three yellow worthy fouls in 5 minutes, then Ipswich scored with a deflection from their only shot vaguely on target, I'd not be talking about luck

Leeds United (A) 3-1 - Post-Match Thread
The Doctor replied to lnkstern's topic in Leicester City Forum
Oh cool didn't realise that's how it works. So we'll deduct the cov defeat and Ipswich draw last month because we had players away at AFCON and would likely have spanked them if we'd been at full strength. Or does that only apply if several decades later you still sing about winning a champions League final you lost -
With Daka, it's because we've been spoilt rotten with Vardy and anyone who replaces him gets the short end of it for not being him.
-
I thought his subs were wrong, should have been Yunus or Albrighton rather than Kasey, but I wouldn't say it's his blind spot so much as last night was his 47th league game as a manager, he's a lot more inexperienced than people acknowledge at times
-
I mean its situation dependant, I've not seen many teams snatch a 3-1 win from a game they were outplayed but when teams manage to pull off a spectacular late comeback the stands are consistently going mental. People are being ridiculous if they think there's something special and unique about how Leeds fans celebrated last night
-
Then I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you've not watched much football before

Hate crime? I thought hate crime was an additional charge where the crime was motivated by extreme prejudice towards a demographic. Unless the blokes did it because a number of those on board were Thai, I don't see where hate crime comes into it
-
Do you seriously think that there's a single fanbase in the country that wouldn't be raucous at a comeback like Leeds got on Friday?
-
Obviously a joke about the double deflection being an own goal

The Doctor replied to lnkstern's topic in Leicester City Forum
Yes. Leeds were a shambles until the subs second half, constantly putting five yard passes out of play. Get a second and they would have fallen apart -
The assist was fantastic, and all game long he set the tempo that had the Leeds defence looking punch drunk, but one miss and he's akinbiyi reincarnated? **** me, I know I'm biased as I'm a fan of Daka but genuinely some of you seem desperate for him to fail so you can make pointless "told you so" posts
-
That's not been true of any club outside regional divisions for decades. Certainly in the top two divisions your match going fanbase will be substantially more casuals, tourists and families than the old stereotypical working class football fan.
-
You lot need to get a grip seriously, moan about bottler mentality but look at you. If we'd won last night that'd be title done, as it is, still 6 points clear and now Southampton need a miracle to catch us. We'll tick off Ipswich as well.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, some card decisions reek of spot fixing.
