Tbh I thought Leeds were pretty good in the first half. I didn’t see any of the second though
Haven't actually watched the game yet. Heard Mikel game them a serve at halftime. Seemed to have worked. With Spuds losing 1-1 to Middlesbrough it was good to get through without a replay.Quote:

The fans were happy - even clapped Ozil off.
I know Leeds did well in the first half but those commentators were absolutely creaming their pants as if Leeds were the greatest side on earth. Danny Murphy was probably punching a hole in the table with his hate boner against us.
Considering it was our first game in a new formation and how quickly we changed things in the second half, I don't think that first half is anything worth worrying about.
Leeds do need a striker tho. Bamford won't get you goals in the EPL at this stage. Also, you can tell where/who Pep learnt positive fouling from.
Leeds if they ever go up will no doubt strengthenQuote:

Give them 3 to 4 years in the top flight and they gonna be back to Europa League level
They only need like a 10-15 goal striker and they'll stay up easily.Quote:

They are the Championships Liverpool. Full of promise, always fall short.
That can't be true, Leeds haven't spent anywhere near a comparative amount of money as Liverpool have to not win the league.Quote:

VAR is the bigger problemQuote:

It ****ing the game
Yes, I admit VAR ****ed up. But I refuse to acknowledge it as anything more than a tool that teams can buy to aid their season. Anyone who thought VAR was going to have a positive effect on the league for all teams is an idiot. I hope it continues to screw up in the hopes that it costs someone a huge amount of money betting and the guys who actually own football kick it to the kerb, no matter how unlikely that is.Quote:

VAR is the problem hereQuote:

Luiz 😂😂😂
Sometimes I think Arsensl are better without him.Quote:

Fair play to the Arse crazy game
You misspelt Mustafi. He was the one who caused the Red card.Quote:

It wasn't a dangerous tackle at all, he was trying to win the ball at least as much as others do. If he gives Luiz a yellow and a pen to Chelsea noone would have been surprised. The red card and penalty is too much for that challenge IMO. Especially considering Mustafi was on the line to block any shot as well.
I know I'm hugely bias on this. But the refs just can't help ****ing us over as hard as they possibly can each week. Any chance to penalise or send us off they take with open arms. We get zero big 50-50 calls these days.
I interpreted it as a yellow card offence as well. Maybe I've also missed something.
That was always going to be a red. Abraham had a open goal pretty muchQuote:

Mustafi was a few feet away from the line and would have stopped anything other thanna very powerful front post shot. Luiz wasn't the last man at all.Quote:
