Leeds 1-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

[Babylon]

“Everything seems really flat at the moment.” @Corky

 

Yep, they look like a set of players the manager has lost, not in the sense of they don’t like him etc. More in the sense I think perhaps the message is becoming repetitive and the same issues clearly never get solved. You can start to lose people’s attention can’t you, even if they very much like you. 
 

I don’t know, it’s all I can think of as it’s been nearly a year of this now.

Now we know how custer felt at the battle of little big horn. Too pissed off to use proper capitals an' all.

[Blueman1967]

thank full for the point, they had alot of chances, Lookman was unlucky with the goal that got ruled out

Quite frankly, a great undeserved point! 

Why was it undeserved? They couldn’t score more than us, they like Brentford huffed and puffed but had no real quality going forwards.

[Nobbyburton]

One of the worst performances of the season. It’s easy to look at that and be ok with a draw but let’s not kid ourselves, Leeds were absolutely appalling today, one of the few teams in the league as low on confidence as us. Similar to midweek, constantly being given room and being allowed to get at them and we can’t do anything with the opportunity. 
 

We look absolutely clueless!

Too many passengers on that team. Not enough running from too many forwards and midfielders and our backline CAN NOT handle an organised press. 

 

Just pretty toothless really.

7 points from 4 games is okay I wouldn’t say it’s a very good return by our standards.. but I guess it’s relative to our performances pre international break.

 

 

It's 1.75 pts per game, which over 38 games gets you 66 pts.

 

How may pointed did we get last season? 

[Lambert09]

Very poor once again. We never play well of youri has a bad day at the office

Was never going to be easy but the most disappointing thing is the lack of trying to win the game. To not bring Iheanacho on instead of Dewsbury-hall was disappointing. 

 

If they had better quality they'd have beat us bit if Tielemans had a good day we'd probably have won it. 

 

Just a midtable performance, which is what we are looking like being. 

Dewsbury Hall was probably the best player when he came on. Iheanacho has honked last few games

We're pretty boring. 

 

But remember, don't criticise, don't point out areas that we need to improve, blind faith until the end or as Matt Piper says you're not a true fan! 

His twitter rants over the last few days have been bizarre to say the least.

 

Yet another parallel we can draw back with when Puel was here he went through a similar ranty stage, supporting and agreeing with everything that was going on not allowing anyone to criticise or question things. We're just knuckle dragging fans who have never played the game seems to be his mantra.

 

The epitomy of a happy clapper.

Could have won, could have lost. Will take a point.

Harvey Barnes, on his day, is an absolute game changer.

[WigstonWanderer]

Away point for a mid table side - could be worse

[foxinsocks]

Is it me or is it not important to create goal chances? I am baffled as to what our objective is.

[Gazza M]

Slightly better performance. Thought we were slightly more solid in defence although hate zonal marking. Ndidi back was huge.

Not a bad point under the circumstances

Agree!!!

[MattFox]

We’re bang average and have been all season

 

Does feel like we’ve regressed to the level we were under Puel before Rodgers came in.

 

Owners will pull the plug if we aren’t doing much better after the international break

KDH was very impressive.

And we squandered some really good opportunities in this game too where the passes really should have met it’s target.

 

Nacho needs to start in this system because Barnes and Vardy ain’t great at playing with their backs to goal and linking up play. Nacho would have made a humongous difference in this game. The ball just kept on coming back and it was purely because Leeds were managing to get it from out attacks way too easily.

 

Tielemans was playing like he was a few weeks ago. Really poor performance from him today.

 

Also people having a go at Lookman. He was by far the better of our front three today. 

[StanSP]

It wasn't pretty today I'll admit, but it was nowhere near the worst we've played.

 

 

[Tom12345]

mid table

[Hales]

I think the players actually need to look at themselves too, they are on the pitch and are professional players - work your butt's off, run, play with some fight. It's not all on Brendan, they need to show some want and desire too.  On paper that team was good enough to win it but they didn't want it enough. Leeds didn't stop working.....

[EastAnglianFox]

It looks like its too much of a boys club on the training field, all I ever see when they post pics is Toure pissing about with the players, Rogers smirking away with Vardy and Evans.

 

 

[Spudulike]

My stream wasn't great, granted, but why didn't we get a penalty when Vardy was fouled? Couldn't have been offside as it was off the defender.

This team isnt getting anyway near the performances it should be for the players it has and they havent done for a long while now. If it carries on then somethings going to have to change..

It feels like a manager change at the end of the season type of affair to me.

 

Love Rodgers, think he has been brilliant for the club and would love for him to get us out of the doldrums, but he might have taken us as far as he can, which is pretty damn far! Football is nowhere near as bad as under Puel, but it has that same feeling of the squad not getting the results it should be.

 

My feeling is that with him being for a while and moving to the new training facilities that we've become too "nice." When we won the title, Huth and Morgan would pull shirts and man-handle opposition strikers. Vardy and Drinkwater would leave something in on their tackles to give us a physical edge to our game.

 

I'm definitely NOT calling for him to go, but more commenting on the parallels between those seasons and this one.
