I only saw the game from about the 30th till the 60th minute. I've also not seen much of us play live all this season other than the season opener so don't have much to compare it to. However compared to last season, if that was us playing below our best last night and not really getting into gear we are light years ahead of where we were last season. What Bielsa has done since coming to the club surpasses what Guardiola did at Man City in his first season there as far as I'm concerned.

Players got in great positions let down a by their last touch. The passing that failed was generally adventurous. 22 points from 11 games, top of the league, proper manager at last. Excited? Not much!

We were by far the better side throughout in a poor game but it took a great strike from Tyler Roberts to win it. Hull were the worst team we've played this season. My Scores: Peacock - 7 didn't have much to do. Collected a cross confidently late on plus got his legs in the way in a late scramble as we panicked Milwall style late on. Ayling - 5. First half was his worst of the season and he's getting a rep for starting very slowly. His passing was off and he should have had a goal. Douglas - 7. I thought he was solid throughout. Hope his injury isn't bad. Cooper - 7. Nearly one fuck up with Peacock first half but in general not troubled apart from a couple of crosses. Jansson - 8. Our best defender. I wish he wouldn't feign injury though. Siaz - 7. Did ok but again a yard short to really hurt them. Kilch - 8. I thought he was consistent throughout and was still chasing down the ball in injury time. Philips - 5. On the occassions Hull broke from midfield they left him for dead. He's just playing as a luxury, additional defender. Allioski - 2. Apart from run round and cause a bit of chaos I thought he was incredibly poor. He's not a left winger. Should have scored first half. Harrison - 4. Didn't really contribute first half. Second half a couple of decent crosses and link up play but overall disappointing. Roberts - 7. I like Roberts, he runs around a lot, he closes down, he's got good control and can link up well (see his deft lay off for Allioski's chance first half). His goal was a great strike and I get the impression that goals like this will be more common than the 2 yard tap-ins. My only criticism is that he looks a little casual at times and he gave the ball away cheaply at times. Subs: Dallas - came on at right wing but then had to go to left back when Douglas got injured. Did ok. Forshaw - tidy with a few mistakes. Rather than look at Forshaw as a replacement for Siaz I'd play him instead of Philips. Offers much more. It's a good win and we're top but I don't think this starting 11 will get promotion. With Hernandez back and a decent winger I think we're top 6. ________________________________ From: Richard Naef <rich...@triumph-computers.co.uk> To: Richard Walker <richleed...@yahoo.co.uk>; Leeds List <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Tuesday, 2 October 2018, 21:05 Subject: RE: [LU] Hull I think bloody awful is a bit harsh, even when it doesn't come off they are still trying, surely an improvement over pretty much any team we've in the last 10 years. Player tracking back, looking for a forward attacking pass rather than just lumping it. ttfn Richard -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org<mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org>> On Behalf Of {broken-address} Richard Walker Sent: 02 October 2018 20:37 To: Leeds List <leedslist@gn.apc.org<mailto:leedslist@gn.apc.org>> Subject: [LU] Hull Watching on LUTV - when the passing game comes off it looks great (Sheffield Wed) when it doesn’t it’s bloody awful. Tonight so far has been pretty awful. The passing from Ayling and Allioski has been nothing short of shocking. Allioski for me has turned in the worst 45 mins I've seen for a long time. Miscontrol, overhit passes and crosses and when put in brilliantly by Roberts he put the ball across the box when it was easier to score. The Leeds fans were shouting the ground down in the first 10 minutes and deathly silent for the last 10 mins. Very frustrating. I don’t think this team is promotion material. Yes we are playing better and more confident but the basics are missing at times. I'm wondering whether Harrison is any better than Dallas ? Having said that Hull are shite and I fully expect us to win. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org<mailto:leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org> Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
