Muzzy_Larsson Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Very much a half of two halves that one Looking dangerous though, confident this Leeds defence will be breached again. 1
Corky Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Not been at our best and needed Schmeichel on a few occasions but we're still getting in good areas and creating.
kingfox Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Wrong approach for a game like this, too much of a basketball game for my liking, Leeds have killed us with their press, we’re lucky to still be in it. More pace the better, Perez and Albrighton are not suited for a game like this. Brendan needs to earn his coin at HT, important team talk coming up. 1

I struggle to see what Perez offers, it's not a lot whatever it is! Main thing is we're still in the game, no reason we can't win this. Good First half...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Thank god we didn't concide another goal, we still in this, hope fully Brendan gives them a kick up
Fightforever Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Should have played 5 at the back like last time. No need to change the system that won us the last game.
NaijaFox Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Second-best since their equalizer. Hoping for the sort of second-half performance we’ve had in the last couple of games. COYB!
Big Dave Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Hopefully Brendan will do his usual half time team talk and we come out with a bit more confidence and quality. There will certainly be opportunities (at both ends) in the 2nd half.
Philkeavo Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Just now, RowlattsFox said: Overrun in midfield without Ndidi in there and don't have the back 5 to counter that. I hope we keep our bottle and don't change into that at half time, be patient and we can win this game. Defend well and chances will come. There is no doubt that Ndidi is indispensable to this team and system. Mendy is an able deputy but today looks right off it.

He's a complete waste of space in that position though, I agree with you. Same was said on the right wing, running out of positions for him or maybe just admit he plays the same ineffective way everywhere 1

Its not a case of that, and I'm not his biggest fan, but he was being targeted less than 10 minutes into the game despite others playing much worse. Much of the time it's a bandwagon trend to slate him. Edited 31 January 2021 by adejo92
l444ry Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Be in trouble if we don't get the next goal. Getting over run in midfield time and again. Really miss Wilf when we play a back four without him. Can't get into stride as Leeds just don't stop shutting us down.
RowlattsFox Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Castagne didn't look right so not surprised to see he was carrying something.
Tom12345 Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Does anyone know whether Castagne is injured or he just got substituted because Rodgers did not like his performance? Our defense is a bit leaky and set plays still look vulnerable against us while our set plays continue to be wasted. Albrighton has been a bright spark although I feel like Under needs to come on again at some stage to provide something different.
Shram Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Perez and Maddison don’t work together .. occupy the same space and there’s no one up top. Get Nacho on..
cruzFOX Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 yep time to step up gears lads we can do it can't afford to get lazy. Start laying on more passes for Barnes to run onto. I have a funny feeling Rogers is gonna make some subs.
eastendfox Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Not being helped by a ref letting them rough house to stop us playing but this is the Leeds murder ball in action. But we'll make the chances. They charge but we should be able to play round them as they will lose concentration.
Tielemans63 Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Just now, Col city fan said: He’s clearly a number 10 and needs to play off an out and out striker. Perez is a clever player who will link up play nicely and create space for other players. But shoving him up top isn’t right imo. Was going to post exactly this. He's linked play nicely at times. Far from our worst.
Vacamion Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 People are suggesting that Under should come on for Albrighton, yet Albrighton has been one of our better players. Maybe later to add energy, but taking Albrighton off now ain't the answer. 2
Livid Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 What frustrates me about Perez is that he holds it up but holds it too long looking for ‘That Pass’ which isn’t there or he gets dispossessed rather than doing the simple pass and keeping momentum. 1

Agree with this in the main but Perez can play up there, the key is when he does is to get the wide players to play further in and closer to him so they can link up and interchange, that's not really happened. 1

TheSomersetFox Posted 31 January 2021 Posted 31 January 2021 Even half for me that, people talking like we've been battered ffs 2

Why brendan didnt go with the 3 4-2-1 he put in place in leeds beyond me He has given them the basketball game they loved, and it doesnt suit the lads bielsa won that tatical battle first half for me.
