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

[Paninistickers]

One of our best performances in decades. We were magnificent. 

 

Only us can lose like that. I called at at 79mins. 

 

Brilliant. I love it.

Who cares. We'll still be promoted but then what? I've had enough of these refs and it's going to be even worse in the PL. I'm really losing my patience with the sport. 

Same. Although var would've given dakas goal.

 

Just disgusting we lost that. Sick of watching us throw away constant clear chances. Not even making the keeper save it half the time. It's shocking.

I know Vestergaard has been great this season but that tonight confirms for me we can't persist with him next season. 

 

Mistake waiting to happen given the opportunity.

 

Lovely backheel assist for their equaliser though. I thought he was great defensively first half (passing not the best) but he was calamitous when we got deeper.

 

I've never properly rated Faes and I can't pinpoint why, either. Might be unfair subconscious bias on my part but I never feel comfortable with him.

[Tuna]

It's times like this you feel like crying or just giving up.

 

What can you do when you boss and play considerably better than a team for more or less 80 minutes, stop them playing and create enough chances to score 3 or 4, which wouldn't have flattered us

 

I went for a walk when the equalizer went in

 

What happened after that was no surprise at all

 

I did not want to witness it

 

Sickened and absolutely devastated

[Lionator]

They scored 3 goals with an xg than less than 1, I’d imagine it’s rare that’s ever happened. 

[DennisNedry]

Emotion aside, we absolutely battered these.

 

We were different gravy second half.

 

We beat ourselves.

Happens a lot. Played 34. Won 25. No words. 

I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean? Our team is Miles better than anyone else?

LOL at some of the hysteria.

 

I may be in the minority but I am happy with what I saw. Away from home against a noisy bunch in a so called fortress, this was men against boys for 70 mins, 1-0 up and idiot goal ruled out (VAR anyone?), the simplest of one on ones missed and we should have been 3, 4 or even 5-0 up. We should have put them away. They were woeful for 70 mins and we sold quality and agrresion.

 

However, these prats got lucky. Two lucky deflections and this result is the biggest joke you will see.

 

Yes there will be hysteria at the result but we need to remain calm. Two losses but loads of chances created and we should have won both games easily. 

 

Keep calm, we will be OK

But loads of chances not put away is a massive problem. And its not a new one but been here for a long time - AND as soon as we are pressured we crumble.... What we saw today is just a repeat of what has happened time and time again this season. Sort it out for goodness sake Maresca!

[LCFC-92]

Laughable.

We did, we just missed lots of chances against Boro too 

The intensity wasn't there like it was tonight. Just look at Dewsbury-Hall; chalk and cheese.

[ForeverandEver]

I think the only response is to take it out on QPR next week… can’t dwell on this.
 

Been a great season thus far!

If it wasn’t for some poor refereeing and terrible finishing that would have been one of the most comfortable victories of the season. 

Terrible finishing has cost us two weeks in a row. It’s becoming a pattern. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

And now some on this forum our getting angry with each other 😔

I don't think so. There is always 1 team that starts slow and then is unstoppable for the second half of the season. They'll be in the top 2 for sure. They were terrible for large parts tonight and yet still won 3-1.

Agreed they will take us close no doubt 

[jmono84]

Their 3 goals were the worst quality chances and we missed fvcking sitters!! Weak as piss that ladz, weak as piss

Have a look at the table, then change your pants, then come back. 

[SheppyFox]

I know the knee jerk soft lads of foxes talk won’t want to hear this, but the linesman disallowing Daka and two horrific deflections beat us, the best team lost. We dominated Leeds, they were made to look very poor for the majority of that game.
 

I think after Brendan it’s become a priority for some on here to bash the manager and team over anything else, regardless of anything else. I’m a bit fed up of the place to be honest, it’s all got a bit moany and entitled. 

[ronnup]

Looking forward to playing in the XG premier league 

[Sly]

Shades of Coventry to be honest in all honesty.

 

Three of the next four are tricky games and we’ll know better how it looks after that.

 

They’ll be hurting tonight but I think for large portions of that game, we played some great football. I know Daka and Mavididi missed chances, however so did Leeds in fairness.

The officials though ….. what on earth. 
 

It wasn’t just the poor yellow with for Ricardo, the disallowed goal was poor and VAR immediately overturns that.I did think it was offside though in real time. It’s the general going through players and fouling. Fatawu got sent off against Cov for less than some of those.

 

However, we need to dust ourselves up and go again. 
 

We are still 6 points ahead. This is still in our hands.

 

A loss like that should frustrate the team.

 

They’ll see how Leeds have celebrated tonight and hopefully it has the same reaction that Arsenal had in the 15/16 season.

 

 

[Guest ChrisWalken456]

This club really hurts us sometimes.

It’a really annoying we’ve outplayed Ipswich twice and Leeds once and only got two points from those games after conceding five late goals. All five of them deflected strikes. 
 

 

 

Yes, our fortune has been dumpster level and we're still pissing the league. I'd imagine we would be confirming promotion next week if we had just average luck.

[whoareyaaa]

Soon as Mav and Daka came off we lost our shape that was it.

 

Missed 2 sitters, out played them up until there goal and got a goal chalked off for a wrong offside.

 

We will still win the league

Why do folk keep harping on about deflected goals for other teams? On what planet does it matter? 

Result of defending so deep. If you play in your own 18 yard box, it happens.
