Re: [LU] WBA

[Richard Walker via Leedslist]

Excellent Dave. I’ve been too hungover to write anything today as didn’t get in 
until 4 am this morning after celebrating big time. I’m now on an extended 
celebration with a little help from some  Chateauneuf-du-pape which has brought 
me back to life.

Last night was truly incredible. I was in the Scabby Taps at 5 and whilst the 
atmosphere was good I don’t think anyone expected what actually happened. I 
predicted Baggies would win 3-1 and they would dominate and outpace our 
pedestrian midfield. Well, what do I know? I am a whining cunt and Bielsa, 
Philips and co have proved me wrong.

I’m not going to go through the match or give scores because I’d give all of 
them 10 but I would say

Alioski was simple superb. I’ve never been a fan due to his play acting but his 
work rate and determination last night was up there with King Billy’s. I’m sure 
when things are not going so well he’ll annoy m3 again but nobody can take that 
MOTM performance. Will Douglas start again this season ?

Tyler Roberts - I said he couldn't play as a no 10 dropping deep. Fuck me, what 
do I know ? He was fantastic in that role and the way he drops his shoulder and 
accelerates away  from his man is devastating. To be fair to me I said he could 
be a player and there’s no doubt he will be.

I also said Bamford will score more goals than Roofe, and that looked like 
another dodgy assessment given the last 2 games but he came good last night and 
with a fit Bamford from the start of the season I-think we’d be 6 points clear. 
Bamford and Roberts up front gives us at least 50% more option than Roofe on 
his own.

One last comment ... Jamie Shackleton. This lad is another Lewis Cook.

I was in despair Tuesday night, tonight I’m in the clouds. Life is good. This 
is the b est it’s been for 20 years.

We are Leeds cheers all

 Only game I ever took a girl too was Chelsea away (well home for me as I am 
from London) in mid-80s. Pitch invasion, fights in the stands, match abandoned 
(I think.) And we got separated in the mayhem. Never did that again.

 Well games like that do make up for some of the dross I've seen over the years.

I think the worst game involving Leeds that I've ever seen was an absolutely 
dire 0-0 draw against Derby County in front of about 15K bored, freezing 
spectators in which the most exciting action was the kick off.  This was in the 
1988/9 season I think.  It was also the first and, not uncoincidentally, the 
last game I ever took my then girlfriend to.

Being a Leeds fan got to look at the negatives:

Harrison - great pass in the first minute but apart from that didn't realise he 
was even on the pitch, surprised he wasn't subbed earlier.

Casilla - still not convinced he's any great improvement on Peacock-Farrell

Why oh why do we persist in giving away totally unnecessary free kicks in

Still, great win and top of the league again, goal difference looking a bit

 Totally agree on both. Casilla looks a very good goalie.

 I think you’re being harsh on Harrison. I thought he brought the ball forward 
well on several occasions and worked really hard off the ball, tracking back.
Casilla is a million miles better than BPF. The way he confidently claims balls 
into the box makes such a difference. He also organised the players in front of 
him which you might not see on the telly - saw him shouting instructions at 
them quite a lot and there was even a moment when we’d got a corner when he was 
on the half way line telling Klich and Harrison what to do.

pieces that Kiko dealt with. Then came a brilliant 5 or 6 man move that ended 
with Roberts sliding the ball through to Bamford who took one, two three 
touches and then slotted home, the finish of a top player.
The feeling then was 'game over' - just make sure we don't do anything silly 
and the points are ours.
We continued the second half where we left off - on the front foot and came 
close a few times before we got the goal that did finsih it as a contest. Just 
after the hour mark and with Alioski on the floor Roberts impressive throughout 
carried the ball forward beat his man and played another lovely ball to Bamford 
whose shot took a wicked deflection and went in.
West Brom were beaten and should have been down to 10 men when Barry committed 
a foul "thats a yellow" we all shouted, 'ha, he's off its his second' except 
the ref bottled it.
Then came the icing on the cake - in the second minute of injury time, with ER 
still full- no-one leaving early last night, came another great move , which 
ended with Klich feeding it to Shackleton down the wing and his cross was met 
at very close range by Alioski who tapped home - how he had the energy to be 
there in the 92nd minute after the running he had already done, I don't know - 
he has his (many) critics but you cannot criticise his effort or his stamina
So an amazing 4 0 victory and back to the top of the league and QPR game put to 
bed (we think that Bielsa also got booked but no real idea what for)
This was us back to our early season best and with Bamford now scoring who 
knows what the season will bring. SO a big apology to Alioski, Harrison, and 
Ayling you were all great and showed why MB keeps on picking you all, and a 
massive apology to Roberts for daring to doubt him - he really was magnificent 
last night

As I said at the start, amazing, stupendous and spell-binding and I loved every 
minute of it
Dave

My worst was probably midweek away at Plymouth in the 89/90 season.  All that

Leeds fans singing Marching On Together like a slowed-down record, to show how

Casilla - still not convinced he's any great improvement on Peacock-Farrell

Why oh why do we persist in giving away totally unnecessary free kicks in 
dangerous positions just outside the penalty area?

Still, great win and top of the league again, goal difference looking a bit

That is what you would see plastered on buses etc if last nights game was a 
film ! From  start to finish we were excellent in all departments and wow 
didn't the fans enjoy it - 90  mins of non stop singing, chanting and 
celebrating
I agreed with Nic (?) beforehand that I would have a few pre match beers 
(check) get behind the team for 90mins (check) and clap them off at the end 
(check) but little did I think it would be so easy to do the second two.
Pre match we were all worried and the general feeling was that we would lose to 
WBA but in itself, that would not be fatal but our lack of goals would both 
scupper automatic and the play offs- our main hope would be that Bamford 
instead of wasting chances as he had so far would find his scoring boots. We 
slagged off the usual suspects, Alioski, Harrison, the more recent addition 
Ayling, and then based on Tuesday, Tyler Roberts. With these 4 in the team we 
were going nowhere !
As per normal we timed it quite well to get to the ground and I was going up 
the steps to my seat as they kicked off - as I was doing the 'scuse me' dance 
down the row, there was a massive roar and I looked up just in time to see 
Pablo curl a belter into the net - great finish, and a great start. (big kudos 
to Harrison who laid the ball on for him )
They got a free kick in a great position as we were still celebrating but it 
hit the wall and that was the last time I was really worried about this game. 
The early goal really lifted the full house crowd and we got behind the team as 
only (these days) Elland Road can.
We needed the second and I was deliberately not mentioning the 'we have not 
lost when we have scored first stat' in case I jinxed it. We had to wait till 
the half hour mark to get the second, half an hour in which we chased them 
down, harried them and took the ball off them. We also went back to the way we 
played earlier in the season when we made possession count. None of this Japp

with Roberts sliding the ball through to Bamford who took one, two three 
touches and then slotted home, the finish of a top player.
The feeling then was 'game over' - just make sure we don't do anything silly

Re: [LU] WBA

[Simon McNally]

I think you’re being harsh on Harrison. I thought he brought the ball forward 
well on several occasions and worked really hard off the ball, tracking back.
Casilla is a million miles better than BPF. The way he confidently claims balls 
into the box makes such a difference. He also organised the players in front of 
him which you might not see on the telly - saw him shouting instructions at 
them quite a lot and there was even a moment when we’d got a corner when he was 
on the half way line telling Klich and Harrison what to do.

Great all round performance, glad I decided to stay out late to watch it.

Being a Leeds fan got to look at the negatives:

Harrison - great pass in the first minute but apart from that didn't realise he

Casilla - still not convinced he's any great improvement on Peacock-Farrell

Why oh why do we persist in giving away totally unnecessary free kicks in

ended with Klich feeding it to Shackleton down the wing and his cross was met 
at very close range by Alioski who tapped home - how he had the energy to be 
there in the 92nd minute after the running he had already done, I don't know - 
he has his (many) critics but you cannot criticise his effort or his stamina
So an amazing 4 0 victory and back to the top of the league and QPR game put to 
bed (we think that Bielsa also got booked but no real idea what for)
This was us back to our early season best and with Bamford now scoring who 
knows what the season will bring. SO a big apology to Alioski, Harrison, and 
Ayling you were all great and showed why MB keeps on picking you all, and a 
massive apology to Roberts for daring to doubt him - he really was magnificent 
last night

As I said at the start, amazing, stupendous and spell-binding and I loved every 
minute of it
Dave

 They have done it the last few goals - supposedly it is something that Alioski 
does when he wins at head tennis !

 Oh, and what the fuck was that celebration after the 4th goal - everyone 
looked a little embarrassed?

"OUTSTANDING" 5 STARS"STUPENDOUS " - 5 STARS"SPELLBINDING FROM START TO FINISH" 
- 5 STARS"IT HAD EVERYONE OUT OF THEIR SEATS "- 5 STARS"A MUST- SEE GAME" - 5 
STARS
That is what you would see plastered on buses etc if last nights game was a 
film ! From  start to finish we were excellent in all departments and wow 
didn't the fans enjoy it - 90  mins of non stop singing, chanting and 
celebrating
I agreed with Nic (?) beforehand that I would have a few pre match beers 
(check) get behind the team for 90mins (check) and clap them off at the end 
(check) but little did I think it would be so easy to do the second two.
Pre match we were all worried and the general feeling was that we would lose to 
WBA but in itself, that would not be fatal but our lack of goals would both 
scupper automatic and the play offs- our main hope would be that Bamford 
instead of wasting chances as he had so far would find his scoring boots. We 
slagged off the usual suspects, Alioski, Harrison, the more recent addition 
Ayling, and then based on Tuesday, Tyler Roberts. With these 4 in the team we 
were going nowhere !
As per normal we timed it quite well to get to the ground and I was going up 
the steps to my seat as they kicked off - as I was doing the 'scuse me' dance 
down the row, there was a massive roar and I looked up just in time to see 
Pablo curl a belter into the net - great finish, and a great start. (big kudos 
to Harrison who laid the ball on for him )
They got a free kick in a great position as we were still celebrating but it 
hit the wall and that was the last time I was really worried about this game. 
The early goal really lifted the full house crowd and we got behind the team as 
only (these days) Elland Road can. 
We needed the second and I was deliberately not mentioning the 'we have not 
lost when we have scored first stat' in case I jinxed it. We had to wait till 
the half hour mark to get the second, half an hour in which we chased them 
down, harried them and took the ball off them. We also went back to the way we 
played earlier in the season when we made possession count. None of this Japp 
Stamm to me to you football along the back line, this was passing with purpose, 
precision and speed, exactly what Bielsaball is about. We had a few half chance 
/ near misses as they could not live with us, their only danger a few set 
pieces that Kiko dealt with. Then came a brilliant 5 or 6 man move that ended 
with Roberts sliding the ball through to Bamford who took one, two three 
touches and then slotted home, the finish of a top player.
The feeling then was 'game over' - just make sure we don't do anything silly 
and the points are ours.
We continued the second half where we left off - on the front foot and came 
close a few times before we got the goal that did finsih it as a contest. Just 
after the hour mark and with Alioski on the floor Roberts impressive throughout 
carried the ball forward beat his man and played another lovely ball to Bamford 
whose shot took a wicked deflection and went in.
West Brom were beaten and should have been down to 10 men when Barry committed 
a foul "thats a yellow" we all shouted, 'ha, he's off its his second' except 
the ref bottled it.
Then came the icing on the cake - in the second minute of injury time, with ER 
still full- no-one leaving early last night, came another great move , which 
ended with Klich feeding it to Shackleton down the wing and his cross was met 
at very close range by Alioski who tapped home - how he had the energy to be 
there in the 92nd minute after the running he had already done, I don't know - 
he has his (many) critics but you cannot criticise his effort or his stamina
So an amazing 4 0 victory and back to the top of the league and QPR game put to 
bed (we think that Bielsa also got booked but no real idea what for)
This was us back to our early season best and with Bamford now scoring who 
knows what the season will bring. SO a big apology to Alioski, Harrison, and 
Ayling you were all great and showed why MB keeps on picking you all, and a 
massive apology to Roberts for daring to doubt him - he really was magnificent
