Hi All

I joined the WA group back when it was first set up, but had to come off 
because of the volume of messages.  What´s the traffic like now?  Has it 
settled down a bit?  Would like to go back on if it´s not going to swamp my

I think Farke’s team set up tells us one thing, and that is the players are

course Sunderland did their job well, the ref was a wildcard no-one could have 
predicted, and 45 minutes of effort weren’t enough! 

I think this was the tactic - I’m sure other managers will see it too, but 
hopefully we’ll be in full-on assault mode on Saturday and Blackburn will wilt

This was the first known instance of an international list meet that involved 
only electronic communication as an organising mechnism, namely the DECnotes 
messaging forum that Digital Equipment Corporation/DEC had in place at the

There is a photo extant from that list meet but I cannot put it to hand at

As part of my 70th Birthday year celebrations (my family have insisted
it is a long drawn out affair - a bit like my life to be honest) I
started my celebrations in July when I was taken to the opera, since
then I have had a day at the races and next up is a trip to SOTG (also
as part of the thankgodthetransferwindowisclosed celebrations).

The choice of the Wendies was purely random but it means I get fed and
watered in the Centenary Pavilion and then have a mild seizure climbing
up to block L in the MNES. By about 6.00pm I hope to be in Whitelocks
before being whisked away back to the Land of the Sad Wartin' Geordies
(LOTSWG).

I haven't actually reached the actual birthday yet, but if I do it will
be a wonder after all the excitement of recent days. I will attempt my
first match report in over one million years if I get as far as Sunday
without a visit to the LGI or Jimmys.

P.S. I recommend the Opera at Covent Garden if only for the Coach and
Horses just down the road which served 'the best pint of Guinness in
London'.

This is what the Welsh press recently said about Rodon,our new loan
defender.
'Despite his struggles at Rennes, Rodon has been a consistent performer for
the Welsh national team, earning 37 caps. However, his lack of regular
football took a toll on his form, evident in the recent 4-2 Euro 2024
qualifying loss to Armenia, where he had an error-strewn display.31 Jul
2023'

From what I've seen of him before, it has always been my opinion. Mind you
I've been wrong before. Let's hope.

Also, I'm a bit dubious about Drameh being the defensively sound right back
we need.  I read somewhere that he was the most dribbled-round full back in
the championship last season, and Luton regularly played him at wing back
so he had an extra defender to cover for him. Perhaps that is why we are
currently connected with Max Aaron's, who is essentially a right back I
believe.

 I’m not ‘too’ pessimistic - the 49ers have clearly had plenty to deal with

happen? I don’t see Paddy being fit enough for more than 20 starts, ditto 
Sinisterra too maybe? But there are players with big points to prove - Perkins, 
Joseph, Drameh (although I still can’t see him staying), Cresswell, Gray and 
Helde. 

I don’t subscribe to the ‘done nothing’ line - clearly incorrect, but it has 
been a very modest transfer window so far - I suspect there’s an element of 
let’s get the season started and see how we go before bringing anyone else in? 

Enjoy the rest of this week, because one thing is for sure, we’ll all have very

14th in his first season with the Canaries so hopefully he can keep us up. 
Norwich fan at work says he was great in the championship after that first 
season but then ultimately failed at the top level despite spending a decent 
amount of brass. Maybe Daniel should consider renting in Beeston for a year, 
max 2 ? 
Been watching all the Twitter stuff from the club about players returning to 
training but it looks like a lot didn't bother which is really hard to 
understand given they are still under contract and we're still paying their 
wages although I'm hoping they were docked. I don't think there's many players 
in that team that came down that can do a good job at premier league level so I 
suspect most who leave will go abroad. I mean who is going to offer Roca a job 
? You'd have to be mad. 
Let's see what the next week brings.

Well , feck me we've got a manager ! 
14th in his first season with the Canaries so hopefully he can keep us up. 
Norwich fan at work says he was great in the championship after that first 
season but then ultimately failed at the top level despite spending a decent 
amount of brass. Maybe Daniel should consider renting in Beeston for a year, 
max 2 ? 
Been watching all the Twitter stuff from the club about players returning to 
training but it looks like a lot didn't bother which is really hard to 
understand given they are still under contract and we're still paying their 
wages although I'm hoping they were docked. I don't think there's many players 
in that team that came down that can do a good job at premier league level so I 
suspect most who leave will go abroad. I mean who is going to offer Roca a job 
? You'd have to be mad. 
Let's see what the next week brings.

 I do think the 49ers are different. They are an established organization with 
a proven track record (a good one too if I have heard right.) I know it is not 
exactly the "49ers" but basically the same organizational structure. These are 
not fly by night operators.

 I think I agree with Matt in that however crap Radrizani an Orta were in
the transfer market, and even with this latest gaffe, he was infinitely
better than what went before. He was largely responsible for getting
Bielsa, which gave Leeds 3 years of football that I never thought I would
see again. Also the clubs are in way better financial state than when he
joined and immediately following previous relegations.  He is still just
about in credit IMO.
Be careful what we wish for. US takeovers have been detrimental as often as
they have been beneficial to football clubs. We could easily be
subsidising/promoting their business as opposed to them supporting ours.

There’s zero chance of him being kept on imho, regardless of staying up or

While I am pessimistic about us surviving I am more optimistic about what we 
can do in the Championship. I think a squad with the experienced players who 
have shown they can play at that level (Bamford, Ayling, Cooper, Dallas maybe 
Forshaw) plus some who might stay and might be good at that level [Rutter, 
Aaronsson (though I have my doubts), Roca) and some of the youngsters who are 
proven at that level (Cresswell and Drameh) and others I think will definitely 
be able to (Perkins. Gyabi, Jooseph, Greenwood) should have enough to be

Re: [LU] Scouse debacle

2023-04-18 Thread Nicholas Armit via Leedslist
 Well it doesn't get much worse than that. Forget it was liverpool, we were 
playing a team in 8th place who had scored ZERO , NIL , NOT ONE  goals away 
from home v bottom half teams this season.  Yet our plan was to sit back and 
just let them have the ball, madness. Ok it sort of worked for 30 minutes but 
the general feeling was one mistake would cost us the game , we did not realise 
the mistake would be the referees, and we all knew this team could not go 
90minutes without making lots of mistakes 

This is it exactly. I was just waiting for the first goal to go in, there was 
no way we were going to give Liverpool that much of the ball, defend that deep 
and not concede. And once the first one went in was clear which way this was 
going. Our main "weapons" are attacking players, why not play to our strengths?

The first goal, always going to be crucial was a farce, I have heard that the 
handball was too far away from the actual goal for VAR to bother . WTF  he hand 
balls it , and 3 passes later it is our net - absolutely dreadful decision 
Having said that it is like the old joke where someone is moaning 2 of their 
goals were offside in a 12-0 defeat.  
Once we went behind we had no clue,  our only  bit of joy was when Sinisterra 
ro bed their defender and finished with style. Game on we thought, but 2 
minutes later it was game off. From that moment on it was just a case of how 
many.
We have messed up our GD stats in 3 games with minus 12 ( arse palace and last 
night)
Bit like the players I cant be bothered with the rest of the game other than 
Summerville came on and looked lively, Forshaw came on and looked lost  , 
Rutter came on and looked like he had never seen a football 
Highlight of the evening 2 gobby scouse birds, who thought the whole carriage 
wanted to listen to their inane filming of themselves arrived in Manchester to 
find their only train home at 12.30am was cancelled- only time i smiled all 
night
So desperate times indeed,  somehow,  from somewhere we need at least 5 pts 
from our next 3 games or we are down I reckon

For about a month teams have been sending a diagonal ball over him knowing the

It also appeared on TV that Forest were happy for him to receive the ball as we 
passed out from the back; once he received a pass they closed quickly and he 
was turning it over a lot.

Both wingers were very good, not sure Gnonto has a way back into the starting

Agree with both of these…

I think we’ve seen 2 of the 3 that will go down at ER recently - Southampton 
and Forest - hard to pick who was worse.

Most impressed yesterday with McKennie - he was throwing those challenges in 
and using the ball well. Harrison and Sinisterra (and Gnonto, and Sommerville) 
using the width of the park, just demonstrate what a nonsense Marsch’s narrow 
formation was.

Ayling had a shocking first half against a poor strike force - its a worry.

Bamford is doing that infuriating thing he - fluffs chances, both for himself 
and also when he has the ball and teammates in good positions - but, the way he 
works the central defenders and pulls them all over the shop is second to none. 
I did think that Rodrigo should have come on for him after 65 or so, to rest up 
Bamford and let our leading scorer have a go at such a weak defence.

Looking forward to seeing Wober back soon, too.

3 points at the w/e and the world looks very different.

Harrison Do you think ? I thought in that first half we looked like a really 
poor team who looked doomed. We had no idea and it took a fortunate deflection 
from a speculative shot to get us going. I’d put that first half down as the as 
poor as we’ve seen for a few seasons.Credit to us 2nd half for coming back into 
it but I don’t think some of our players are good enough. The worst of the bad

about Rutter. He’s just not at the races.

What was obvious was that Garcia set us up as 4-4-2 and has told them to stay 
in position - no wild chasing down, no pressing. This works for solidity but 
removes that 100mph rollercoaster effect - it also allows their defenders to 
stand over the ball time after time, happy that they are not going to get 
challenged. This is something that many in the crowd seemed to be made restless 
by.

Big problem yesterday - apart from Roca & Aaronson’s almost non-existence in 
the middle - was Ayling. It wasn’t that the guy on him was fast and tricky - he 
was - but that he got done 6 times in then first half alone just by a lofted 
ball over the top. He was nowhere near the winger. If you get caught once or 
twice early like that, you drop 5 yards, you move closer to the guy. But it 
kept happening. Then he got out-jumped by the winger at the back post, for the 
first goal. V poor game.

However, Harrison decided he was going to chase and harry, and in doing so, 
closed the defender down, got a bit of luck with the bounce, which just rolled 
along the touchline without going out, fed Bamford, who took a touch and 
smacked in off the crossbar - albeit with a slight deflection. Out of nowhere 
we were level.

Then Jack gets unlucky in the second half with a ball ricocheting around the 
penalty area, eventually bouncing off him and in - he looked like he was 
shaping to clear it, but the winger pressing him, was close enough that 
Harrison could not draw his foot back…and there you go. 1-2.

The second equaliser - coming after Gnonto, Rodrigo and McKennie were 
introduced - came after a reasonable spell of pressure from us, all these three 
pushed us forwards. Short corner from Willie 2-balls, Harrison steps inside the 
defender and lashes it into the far top corner with his right foot. Lovely goal.

Couple more half chances each - best fell to Wellbeck who cut in again from our 
right, beat about 3 defenders before hitting the south stand.

I do not buy the doom and gloom - there are 12 games to go, 4 points cover 
about 8 teams (not counting Soton, but that may change after today) - plenty of 
time to get things right. The same people who say “we’re down” are the ones who 
would db going “C’mon Leeds we can do this” if there were a 4 point gap with 2 
games to go.

Oh yeah, and Rodrigo was fouled in the box as he went through.

underperformance on the football side the club asa whole is still progressing 
well, we have a team with more strength in depth than at any point inrecent 
years, record commercial revenues and international developments, a flourishing 
foundationwhich is increasingly viewed as best in class, a young squad with 
huge potential fuelled by anexcellent academy, stadium redevelopment plans that 
are closer to fruition and new owners with boldinvestment plans.

 A very enjoyable game.

I'm going to really enjoy watching Adams and Mckennie play together. They are 
going to be a nightmare to play against. It's not very often we have a stronger 
midfield than scum.

Thought Bamford was ok. He does look like someone who has not played much 
recently. But, he laid on the first goal and almost made a second for Willie.

Harrison was wasteful. He found all kinds of space but could not make his 
passes.

We played a good team, on the road and gave a good account. If we can maintain 
that level of play we will soon be safe.

I don't know how much Fred cost but Adams is much better than him.

What a magnificent team performance given the situation. I thought the game 
completely changed during a three minute period when both Adams and then 
Mckennie got yellow cards. This basically neutered their aggression which up 
until that point had the SCUM midfield shaking in their boots. From that point 
forth Adams and McKennie had to be concerned about staying on the pitch and 
this allowed SCUM more time on the ball and created fewer turnovers for us to 
transition with.
Hopefully the "Bash Brothers" can repeat their performance on Sunday, as it 
didn't look like Fernandez, Fred and Sabitzer liked it "up 'em".

One reporter at the press conference asked about Bamfords comment (isolated, no

would be interesting to know what player pressure fed into the board decision?

Just seen report on BBC Look North that while the club would like to have

Hope so. We have one tactic and that’s give the ball to Gnonto. Forest 
nullified that in the 2nd half and we were toothless 2nd half. We totally ran

I think there’s enough talent in the team to stay up but I can’t see it with

What is hard to take is how hard we work to close down all over the pitch, but 
they get the ball on the edge of our box and there is no-one within 5 yards of 
their player!

Plus the guy who was ‘fouled’ for the free-kick was offside - this combo of 
desperate luck and sh*te defending on the right has to change, otherwise we’ve 
had it!

Very impressed by Wober though - some great tackles/interceptions, and a couple 
of excellent forward passes.

It’s going to be a long second half! We can still do this, but another ‘here we 
go again’ feeling!

Yep, today isn’t a ‘must’ win, but if we don’t the mood music will be very grim 
indeed.  Marsch’s tactical nous, or lack of, have left me unimpressed from day 
1, but we have some really good players and I’m just hoping a cohesive unit 
will develop, pretty damn quickly! We have a really strong bench, but as ever 
how the defence performs will be critical! I’m unsure why Weston isn’t on at 
the start, but let’s see?

I reckon Marsch has 5 league games to determine his future at Leeds - whilst 
getting rid in mid-February wouldn’t be ideal, by then we’ll know whether a 
turn of fortunes has happened?

Pretty nervous here though :-(

Those of you who knew Dave would know that he was a devoted Leeds fan but there 
was so much more to him. He was a munroist, he enjoyed cycling, and took an 
active part in politics in Pudsey. In recent years he was a leading light in 
the Pudsey Greenside Greenway project. He also liked a good fire!

A committed traveller, there were few places he had not visited and anyone who 
shared those trips will confirm that they were always er, eventful. He made 
many of the matches abroad during our most recent European campaigns and quite 
a few of us shared those trips. (Anyone going to the Barca game will remember 
him and Chris Fitz staying above a sex shop which they were convinced was run 
by nuns).

I can not begin to list all the adventures, stories and mishaps he was involved 
in (he was short of a big toe after an accident with a lawn mower). One thing I 
can say is they were many. Maybe one day someone will collect them.

Anyway, he now joins the other listers in the great list retirement home in the 
sky. Dave was a one off and will never be forgotten.

 Lots of debate re whether tonight is a must win? For Marsch it certainly is -

tonight, he might just crack. Much as I despair of his tactics and verbal 
diarrhoea, I did feel for him - not nice seeing him like that tbh. For the 
club, obviously there still are plenty of games left should we lose, but the 
mood in the ground would be toxic so again, it is a must win, even though it

Really bad bits - giving a goal away with the last kick of the first half when

profligate finishing, the ' pass' by cooper that led to their 2nd and winning

Subject: [LU] Keeping the list alive

3 players I have watched in the last couple of days who really symbolise our 
predicament: Raphinha, Adams & Gakpo. The fact is that all players want to be 
playing in the stupid so-called Champions League (or their agents tell them 
they want to!) So somehow, Orta (who I think is unjustly
criticised) must find some young gem who is a) better than who we have already, 
but b) can't be so good (yet) that he will think he can hold out for a CL team. 
And even if he finds one, we've got 2 years with 'em before they move on (at 
least at a profit.) So Raphinha obvs falls into this category..so does 
Adams who we will lose sooner or later. Maybe Sinisterra. And Gakpo obvs 
doesn't and we've got no chance of signing him.
All this rubbish "oh we've got to go out and sign a LB and a striker in 
January" completely ignores these factors. There aren't many players out there 
who fit that profile. One of the things we have tried to do is to take 
advantage of the propensity for the megaclubs to have huge squads and try to 
grab players whose careers have gone stale due to lack of playing time. Ie 
Firpo & Roca. (Mixed success...and pretty big pricetags for a gamble.)

So..OK "Orta has GOT to buy a LB this january!!!" scream the 
knowalls. There were 32 LBs who were starters in the WC. No doubt all the top 
countries LBs already play in the CL so that probably rules out 10 of 'em. So 
we must look at the "weaker" countries.( I got all excited about that Alphonso 
Davies of Canada then I found out he plays for Munichscum. ) Of that 20-odd 
probably half would be no improvement even on Firpo, and of the others how many 
might be actually available? Antonee Robinson, for example. He;s looked good 
for the USless so really for Fulham.
Would Fulham sell him? Would he be worth shelling out 15 - 20 mill?

My point isOrta's job is not as simple as many people think.

 I wasn't meaning to blame Meslier. I blame the tactics, massive holes 
everywhere. Every game there are at last two/three situations where two people 
are just wide open at the far post or at the top of the box. And by wide open I 
mean 5/7 yards free.

I don’t think most people who see Marsch’s tactics as hopeless are saying that 
because he’s American, it’s because his tactics are naive. And most Leeds fans 
I know arn’t even dreaming about a Bielsa return - that period is done and 
dusted!

It is inevitable that Marsch will go this season - wrong man, wrong job, so the 
‘process’ will need to be followed. We have some decent players who, with the 
right management, could do much better than is currently the case. A manager 
who brings on Luke Ayling to shore up the defence demonstrates all too clearly 
his limitations!

Of course if VAR had spotted the Meslier foul things would have been different, 
but our defending is so tactically naive who would have bet on getting some 
points even if that goal had been disallowed?

Groundhog Day for the next 12 months? Hopefully not!

 Gotta say I am so sick of the anti-American "bring back Bielsa" bullshit on 
this list. It's finally time to say something. Bielsa was taking us down. He 
was an incredible manager for a mid-level Championship team because he had the 
ability to (a) improve the team's professionalism and attitude (b) improve 
their fitness to almost superhuman levels (at some cost to the players' 
long-term health) and (c) play with tactics that Championship managers weren't 
used to facing. But that only worked to a lesser degree in the Premier League, 
where (a) everyone is super-professional, (b) everyone is super-fit and (c) the 
managers are the best in the world (and so are the players). By last season the 
players were done and we were dropping like a stone back towards the 
Championship, getting absolutely hammered every week. Marsch rescued us. It 
wasn't pretty, but it worked. 
The reason Spurs scored one more goal than us yesterday is that their first 
goal was the result of two blatant fouls: one by the goalscorer Harry Kane 
pushing Tyler Adams (in much the same way that Bamford did against Arsenal, 
except that Bamford was penalized and Kane wasn't); and the second on Meslier, 
who was pushed into the back of his net and then sat upon, preventing him from 
being in position to actually save Kane's shot. I would argue that this was 
classic "big six refereeing," in which the Premier League feels invested in 
ensuring that the six clubs around which it bases its global marketing remain 
competitive for the top spots in the league throughout the season. Kane was 
also helped by a long tradition in the Premier League of granting the England 
captain more leeway than other players (going back at least to Alan Shearer 
kicking opponents in the head and getting away with it). Oh, and Spurs' fourth 
goal came from a throw-in given to them when the ball clearly came off the leg 
of a Spurs player.
All the anti-Americans said Marsch's football wouldn't score goals. We've 
outscored our opponents 9-8 in the last three games. It wouldn't win games, 
they said. We've won two of our last three and were in position to win the 
third with fewer than ten minutes to go. It wouldn't be exciting, they said. If 
you haven't found the last three games exciting, maybe you should take up 
skydiving instead.
Yes, our defence is a problem. I would argue a major factor behind that is that 
Bielsa's hand-picked left back, Junior Firpo, is crap. Marsch realizes this and 
doesn't play him, which, because we are so weak in that position, means we have 
to play arguably our best centre-half as left back. Until the club spend some 
money on very good defenders, we're probably going to continue to suffer 
results like yesterday on a regular or semi-regular basis.

Well, that was great. We had a big chance of getting something today, 
but stupid, naive defending gifted the spuds enough chances which they 
finally took.

We were second best, but some good play by individuals gave us a 
chance.  Spurs were there for the taking, but no team can defend like 
that against any PL team, let alone a so-called top six one. This team 
does not know how to defend. The first two goals were the result of 
sloppy play by us.  I did not see the third and fourth.

It's time to let the clown go.  His 'tactics' are a joke. There are 
enough decent players in the squad for us to be much better than this. 
Just look at how many times there are three Leeds players pressing one 
opponent and still do not win the ball or stop the player from playing 
the ball out.  It's already been pointed out by many on this list that 
we are easy to attack out wide,yet we persist with two midfielders - one 
of whom is useless defensively and the other is permanently in headless 
chicken mode.

Ah, fuck it. I'm too pissed off.  I want this guy and his penisball 
out.  Hopefully we can find someone who at least has a clue of how to 
manage in a top rated league.

Bring back Bielsa.

ludicrous, especially when you consider Bamford’s disallowed effort vs Arsenal 
3 weeks ago.

2 - having moved across the goal to cover the first effort, there is a 
clearance that falls to some guy in 10 yards of space on the edge of the box, 
his shot goes beyond Meslier, moving back across goal when Rasmus on the line 
tries to clear it, kicks it into Meslier and that bounces into the goal

3 - a deflected shot (when the guy should been closed down again).


Feel real sorry for the keeper.

Still, 6 points from those 3 games is not a bad return.

We should not have short memories because we are on a poor run. We need to give

It's absolutely NOT Marsch's fault "that we have no left back worthy of a first 
team place and are still relying on an unfit Bamford or a failed Rodrigo up 
top." Just a reminder to all the Marsch-haters (and closet anti-Americans): Our 
useless left-back Junior Firpo, our failure of a record-breaking signing 
Rodrigo and our injury-prone penalty-missing centre-forward Bamford were ALL 
signings approved by, and signed during the reign of, Marcelo Bielsa. Just 
about every Leeds United supporter and Leeds United beat reporter (Phil Hay, 
Graham Smyth, James Marshment, etc.) was saying all summer transfer window that 
we needed a reliable goalscoring striker and a left-back. The club has even

I continue to believe that if just a couple of the turning points in recent

Bamford; the missed penalty versus Arsenal, etc.) had gone our way, we'd be 
having a totally different conversation. But I also realize that it's got to go

still think, maybe naively, that we have some good players, but Marsch’s system 
is a key problem. That said Firpo & Christensen currently seem like 
Championship players at best, although Rasmus was excellent against Arsenal. 
Not convinced by Roca either, 

For all the talk about needing a forward and left back, which we do, the 
midfield is where we lose the battle, and that is chiefly down to Marsch’s 
tactics.

We need a fresh approach - the love affair is over as the fans at Leicester

 What a crazy afternoon,  this game had it all really.
All the fans near me agreed beforehand that we would probably lose 3 or 4 and 
some discussion as to whether Marsch is under real pressure, especially given 
Angus Kinnears programme notes saying the second half v palace was unacceptable 
When they went off after 23 seconds we all agreed we had had a good start, and 
then the black humour started " let's call it a draw" , then 45 mins later " we 
are doing better than expected still 0 0 after 45 mins etc" . There was also 
general discontent with the reason for the delay. Why not just agree to play 
without VAR and goal line technology like the good old days?
When we did start properly Sinisterra created for himself 2 great shots that 
went either side of the post, a corner brought a scramble and good stop fro 
from their keeper.  At the other end they blasted their only effort over the 
bar. We were holding on without being under pressure but were being pulled all 
over the place chasing the ball. They looked a better team than us. Then the 
moment of madness that ultimately lost us the game. A stupid and ridiculous 
pass by Rodrigo ( he has used up all my patience- get rid , he will never come 
good) put the otherwise excellent Struik in a real mess and they got the ball 
and Saka finished  really well from a difficult angle , good goal but created 
by us. We huffed and puffed a bit , but the general feeling was keep it to one 
goal and change things at half time 
Thankfully we managed that and what a transformation it was - we battered them 
second half and most of the credit for that must go to Bamford,  but we failed 
to score and most of the criticism of that must also go to Bamford.  I have 
just read a statistic that Bamford,  despite only having 30%  of the available 
minutes,  has missed more clear golden opportunities than any other premiership 
striker, many of whom have played near enough 100% .
The good Bamford,  he really put then under pressure and linked up well with 
the midfield and other attackers so that Sinnisterra and aaranson could run 
Arsenal ragged as we created chances and half chances.  He did put the ball in 
the net very quickly but it looked a clear push from my viewpoint,  less 
obvious on TV. He did not quite connect with a couple of other shots but looked 
threatening throughout. The pen was clear handball but play carried on for ages 
( they had an attack) before it was announced VAR was checking.  As the ref 
went over Bamford picked up the ball and carried it the length of the pitch to 
the penalty spot , all the time being followed by an Arsenal playing chipping 
away at him, then when the pen was given Arsenal players surrounded the ref and 
further delayed things. We all felt at that point Bamford should have given the 
ball to someone else but he took it and made the unforgivable sin of missing 
the target 
To be fair he and the whole team kept going with their keeper having to save 
from aaronson and then a great move gave Summerville his chance of glory but he 
fired well over  - a bad miss.
With regards the other subs why take off a winger Harrison,  for a centre 
midfielder,  Klich , only minutes later with no change to the scoreline , then 
take off a centre mid Roca to bring on a winger,  Summerville? Why not either a 
double sub or 2 like for like subs ( the answer according to my son is that " 
marsch is a clueless twat " a bit harsh in my opinion)Then came the final 
moment of madness Bamford is blocked by the centre half who goes to the deck 
very easily and kicks out at Paddy who also takes a dive but then jumps up ( 
remembering his dive in the villa fracas and subsequent ban? )Ref gives red 
card and a penalty,  Bamford gets the ball to take it, we all shout " no paddy 
give it someone else) the Arsenal players surround and hector the ref to 
consult VAR . Result no pen, no red. At the time my view was Bamford pushed him 
and he kicked Paddy so a red but no penalty,  having seen the kick on TV I can 
see why it is only a yellow.
So an eventful game to say the least and whilst beforehand 1 0 may have seemed 
ok , the way the game went we deserved all 3 points in a 3 or even 4 1 win. So 
bitterly disappointed  but to quote the old cliche " lots to be pleased about 
and lots up build on"Hopefully that is true , certainly if we play like that we 
should beat Leicester and Fulham but will we play like that ? 2 bad results 
this week could see the end of Jesse? 2 wins and suddenly we are comfy in mid 
table .
Need Bamford to find his scoring touch and to get the ball to Sinisterra as 
often as possible ( he looks a real talent)
So a great performance but in a results business,
Dave

2022-10-03 Thread Nicholas Armit via Leedslist
 I am very concerned about the lack of movement. Everything seems so static. 
Bielsa's team also played out from the back but there was constant motion in 
front of the defence to create the opportunity to move the ball. Now we just 
seem to stand still and wait for the punt forward. Maybe on TV I am not seeing 
the movement but it appears that way.

 Pretty accurate assessment - it was definitely up there in terms of worst 
games (both sides included) I’ve seen in many a year. Marsch now knows how 
teams who are battling will play at Elland Rd - diving, wasting time, nagging 
the ref etc. We have to try and play some football! The continual playing it 
across the backline only for Cooper/Meslier to hoof it long underscores our 
lack of creativity playing from the back. Much as Llorente has been a defensive 
liability of late, he breaks forward well, as does Struijk if at centre back. 
That is a problem that needs working on. 

I absolve none of the players for sinking down to Villa’s depths yesterday - 
apart from maybe Bamford who we desperately need to be involved from the start 
of games. The ref was poor, but we aided and abetted our own demise. Ditto the 
fans, who’s constant singing of ‘Tyrone Mings - f***ing sh*t’ must have been 
music to their ears! 

Sinisterra looked the only likely one to break the deadlock, so to see him fall 
foul of a nit-picking referee like that was infuriating, but just about 
summarised the afternoon.

We got a point when we may have got beaten so that was good.

Finally, and I know this will not be a universally held view, but the time for 
a player to be sacrificed against Villa has come - by sacrificed I mean they 
should cripple McGinn! That f***er is going to end someone’s career before 
long, and we need to get our retaliation in first. I don’t mean just foul him 
either - broken leg/legs - he’s a twat who needs sorting out! 

Love, peace and United :-)

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Jack Harrison, he’s had some wobbles 
over the years with Leeds, some real high points along the way, but at the

opponents and have a much better work ethic. It is fantastic to see.

 I blame VAR for the lack of celebrations. I thought the ball was out so

A pretty poor game and hard to know if it was one point gained or two lost in 
our relegation fight , but Ward-Priwse and his free kick certainly cost us this 
game as without that they never looked like scoring. 
It was a very flat atmosphere throughout,  even the goal , was not subject to 
the 'limbs'we have had recently,  the 2 goals v scum and the winner v Norwich,  
or even jumping round my front room v Wolves. The goal came when Raph just 
managed to keep the ball in and crossed , the keeper got a hand to it but it 
fell to Harrison who seemed to shin it in, certainly not a clean strike.
In boxing they often say it is ' styles that make fights ' thus was the 
opposite in that the styles ( both similar) made it a non fight, or a bore draw 
in this case. 
Once they equalised it had draw written all over it , and the crowd responded 
with apathy , occasionally getting excited or nervous depending on who had the 
ball in attack but generally just waiting for it to be over. 
We had some good points from the game , Cooper managed 90 minutes and looked 
cool and composed throughout,  Rodrigo had another very good game, Joffy showed 
that though he cant pull a rabbit from the hat every game he is definitely a 
real talent,  and perhaps most importantly of all KP was back, getting 25 
minutes or so, not that he did much in that time but hopefully it means he can 
start next week, a real 6 pointer.
With Burnley and Watford losing ( hope the same today for Norwich and Everton)) 
a point may be ok but I would be much happier with such a boring game if we had 
got all 3

New head coach confirmed.

Leeds United can today announce the appointment of Jesse Marsch as the 
club’s new head coach, pending international clearance.

The 48-year-old has signed a deal at Elland Road running until June 2025 
and his first game in charge will be Saturday’s Premier League trip at 
Leicester City.

Marsch, a former USA international midfielder, previously played for 
D.C. United, Chicago Fire and Chivas USA in the MLS.

Following his retirement from playing, he became an assistant with the 
USA national team, before being named as the first head coach of 
Montreal Impact in 2012.

Three years later, he was named New York Red Bulls boss and led them to 
the MLS Supporters’ Shield and was also named the 2015 MLS Coach of the 
Year.

In 2018, he left New York Red Bulls as the coach with the most wins in 
the club’s history, joining German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig as 
assistant to Ralf Rangnick.

Ahead of the 2019/20 season he was named head coach of sister club Red 
Bull Salzburg and went on to have great success, winning both the 
Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup in consecutive seasons.

This led to him returning to RB Leipzig as head coach last summer, which 
was his most recent position, prior to parting ways in December.

He will now be looking to guide Leeds United away from the Premier 
League relegation places over the final 12 games of the campaign.

Speaking about the appointment, Leeds United Director of Football Victor 
Orta said: “We are delighted to welcome Jesse to the club and excited 
for him to lead us into this new chapter.

“Jesse is someone we identified a number of years ago during his time at 
Red Bull Salzburg and we believe his philosophy and style of football 
aligns with that of the club and will suit the players very well.

“We have a long-term plan and firmly believe he can take Leeds United to 
the next level and are excited for what the future holds.”

Chief Executive Angus Kinnear added: “We are really pleased to have 
quickly secured the services of our first-choice head coach.

“Whilst the short-term objective for Jesse is obvious, we believe he has 
the courage and ambition to build on the strong foundations we have 
created over the last four years and elevate the performance of the club 
over the long-term.  He had a great deal of success with New York Red 
Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg and has demonstrated during our many 
meetings that he is a great fit with the footballing culture of Leeds 
United.

“At this challenging time, it is important that the club remains united 
from top to bottom. The fans have been amazing throughout Andrea’s 
tenure and we have no doubt they will unite behind Jesse and ensure the 
team quickly returns to winning with style.”

I pretty much agree with that. Am sad for 3 main reasons;

1. I think we are now more likely to go down.  A new manager with no 
experience of English football, taking over a group of players who 
clearly love Bielsa is very risky. He practically has no different 
options who to play - most Leeds fans have generally supported the team 
selection - the only real debate is about who plays upfront.  He'll 
probably stop defenders chasing into midfield too much but equally i 
doubt we'll play like we did against Villa or West Ham again this 
season.

2. For what Bielsa achieved, both in promotion and culture change, i'd 
risk relegation to let him go out on his own terms.  We are in a much 
better state than 4 years ago.  Parachute payments and huge transfer 
fees incoming would make us huge favourites to come back up.

3. We've changed from the Ken Bates club, the Cellino club, a Warnock 
team, a Steve Evans team.  We are now a Bielsa team recognised around 
the world and something all fans are proud of.  We will be ordinary 
again in a years time - whatever league we are in.

I would have kept Bielsa until the end of the season.
 From a practical point of view, in that I believe no-one else will get 
more out of these players, that we will be better for the return of 
players of the importance of Bamford, Phillips and Cooper, and that 
there are at least 3 teams I consider to be worse than us.
 From a romantic point of view, Bielsa deserved to ride off into the 
sunset on his own terms, and that football today lost a little bit of 
its soul in prioritising prospective results over the enjoyment and 
entertainment that a one-off like Marcelo has brought to the 
Premiership.
Non-Leeds fans I've been in touch with today, many of whom have no love 
for our club, are also lamenting the fact that (almost certainly) his 
brand of football will not be seen on these shores again, having been 
royally entertained by LUFC for the last three and a half years, win, 
lose or draw.

 wrote:  
 
 For the first time I am starting to entertain some doubts about Bielsa.

I fear his unique system simply cannot survive implementation long term in
the Premier League. Ultimately, to ask players who, don't forget, are
nothing more than jumped-up 2nd Div journeymen to go up 1v1 game after game
against the top top players some of these clubs have (Forshaw v pogba, for
examplehe may play crap and be lazy sometimes, but there is a
reason why Pogba cost 97 million quid or whatever...he's a bloody
good footballer!) is never going to work in the long run. Plus there is a
massive flaw in the system in that the oppo CBs can just advance with the
ball. In the 2nd Div it didn't matter b/c they were crap, but players like
Matip & that Swedish lad from Man U are good players who can (and did!)
cause serious damage.

The other thing is that Bielsa's system relies on us winning the ball in
the middle third and then slicing through them when they are "unbalanced"
(as he likes to say.) But again, the quality of players in this league are
just too good to dispossess. But in tearing in to challenge the way he
wants, we leave ourselves chasing the ball time after time while they
advance, leaving them often 5 or 6 v our back 4. No wonder they look all at
sea sometimes.

And it doesn't bloody help when we keep losing players to
injury..and we are denied certain penalties while the oppoes get
gifted 2 soft ones!

Re: [LU] Wolves 1 1

2021-10-25 Thread Nicholas Armit via Leedslist
 Watched it again and I thought we were actually much better than I thought on 
first viewing. They were really struggling to contain us last 25 minutes and 
even in the first half we were pretty dominant. Most of all, our pressing was 
excellent especially around the half-way line. Cooper was very, very good.

If this is their typical performance it must be shit being a wolves fan.To play 
a team you beat twice last time,  who are in a bit of disarray,  on the back of 
3 wins and to waste time, play act ,defend and just generally shit house your 
way through a game must be awful to,watch.Nothing much had happened when 
Harrison was  beaten on the touchline when we were expecting a throw in to us, 
then a massive deflection led to the ball falling to the feet of their lad who 
hit home.From that moment on they played for the final whistle,  going down at 
the slightest contact and acting as if they were seriously injured, and the ref 
fell for it all and did nothing.  A long range shot hit their defender in the 
face, he went down as if ht by Tyson Furys best punch, ref, quite rightly blew 
for a head injury then let him continue with no treatment and no concussion test
We struggled to reallly get going with lots of wayward and misplaced passes- 
Dallas and Klitch shadows of their former selves. Raph was the shining light, a 
class above everyone else on the pitch 
Second half followed the same pattern of attack v,defence with them killing the 
game and us not quite right. 
Then an awful sliding tackle on Raph led to him being carted off - very bad news
Summerville did impress as his sub and then we brought on Geldhart and he lived 
up,to the massive expectation we have of him, causing them a few problems,  
then deep into injury time he waltzed through their defence and was hacked 
down, a definite penalty ( ok it was at the other end and I haven't a clue if 
it was a foul or not) but up,stepped Rodrigo and he fired home, rescuing a 
point and sending us home happy(ish)Can only do Rod good and should help 
Geldhart settle in
A well deserved point, fingers crossed Raph is ok

 Maybe Alioski's nuttiness was actually a bonus? He just went with the flow and 
did things other players wouldn't (bomb into the box at any time of the game.) 
Firpo seems more like your usual professional that takes risk into

I don’t think anyone sane is suggesting we replace Bielsa ?Well nobody I know. 
We’re struggling and I think a few players who hit the heights last year just 
can’t get there this season for whatever reason (Klich, Dallas, Harrison). The 
spine of Bielsa’s team have all been injured and some continue to be so 
(Llorente, Philips, Raphinha and Bamford) and the players coming in to replace 
them are not performing (Rodrigo, Struijk, Roberts).I think we miss Allioski 
more than I thought we would. We hardly attack down the left side anymore and 
certainly not with the pace and directness that Harrison and Allioski used to 
do.This is Bielsa’s biggest test so far and hopefully he’ll show us he can turn 
it around because that performance yesterday was a real horror show and if we 
continue to play like that we will go down.

Watching the highlights of a pretty abject performance yesterday, a problem 
occurred to me: Bielsa has gotten players like Kalvin and Bamford playing in a 
way that no other coach has ever managed. And when the team succeeds it’s 
because he’s got them playing in a way that none of our previous coaches ever 
have. So for all the problems we’ve got - a small squad, no plan B, a 
reluctance to change underperforming players - I wonder if a different coach 
would be able to change anything, given the players we’ve got? I mean, Bielsa’s 
the coach who turned Luke Ayling into someone people talk about being called up 
for England. Is there anyone else who can do that, or would they need to spent 
£30m on a new right back?

In other words, if Bielsa is the best manager for this group of players, don’t 
we kind of have to just stick with him, at least until we have 11 Raphinhas 
available for selection…?

Yup, Alan and I had the same chat at the time. He wondered where the f**k he 
was to let the cross over, and I was surprised to spot him on the edge of the 6 
yard box…

Given what we also saw against Fulham, we need the likes of Cooper etc to reign 
him in a bit to stop his random wanderings…

The reason I find the doom-mongering so laughable is that the evidence against 
it has literally been there for three seasons now. We know the system he likes, 
we know the players he likes, he doesn't chop and change (eg keeping Costa in 
for two games longer than we thought he merited before injury forced him out), 
and it's up to the players to make the system work. When it does, it's great, 
when it doesn't we get thumped. So that's what you can criticise; to go 'Player 
X is shit" on the basis of a bad performance ignores the fact that Bielsa has 
moulded a team, not eleven individuals.

2021-02-15 Thread Nicholas Armit via Leedslist
 I must admit I want to stand up for Alioski. I think he has been fine this 
year, but some of the players he is coming up against are a different league. 
And I will put Saka in that group. He troubled not only Alisoki yesterday. 
He may not be a starting left-back but definitely has a role to play.

This longterm approach, I think, also explains why Bielsa so rarely drops a
player. He knows that any given player may have a dip in form, but he
believes that player is the best we have at any given time so he keeps
picking them. And guess whatit works! If you listen to
interviews with players, the common thread - Bamford, Ayling,
Harrison...- is that when asked how they have gone from Ch/ship
plonkers to PL stars they say "the manager showed confidence in me."

I know Bielsa took Struijk off after 20 mins v Villa, but that was just to
protect him after a yellow card, knowing what diving cheats Villa and esp
Grealish are. By putting him straight back in there as soon as Kalvin was
injured shows him that Bielsa has confidence in him.

Which is a great policyexcept when it comes to Alioski!

Re: [LU] 10 wins: we are staying up

2021-02-09 Thread Nicholas Armit via Leedslist
 It is amazing how some of these players have stepped up. Yes they make 
mistakes but Ayling, Dallas, Cooper (and even Alioski to a degree for me) have 
been absolutely fine (despite how much I swear at them during games.)
Alioski I think has really improved. He seems calmer, looks backwards rather 
than just forwards all the time (so knows when to slow it down when necessary), 
and has put in some great crosses. Yes his weakness is one-on-one defending but 
it really is not his position. I hope we sign him again.

I did notice that Dallas seemed to be following McAllister all over the place, 
which did sometimes leave great holes in the defence.  Was this under 
instruction? If so Brighton caught on and took advantage.  Later in the game 
once Alioski had gone off and Ayling went to right back the players stayed in

Actually it seemed to me to be not just Meslier, too many cleared balls and 
often passes from outfield player were simply picked off by Burnley players, 
just bringing the pressure back on us again.

Frankly I thought it was a pretty awful desperate game, the sort that it is 
good to come out of with all three points, but let’s be honest, how many of us 
would have accepted a daw as a fair result? Maybe not even a draw, our penalty 
was not a penalty, well in my opinion, and their goal should have stood. 
Frankly we got the points by some piss poor refereeing and then hanging on by 
our fingernails.

The good to take from the game. We had the league specialists and playing and 
scoring from a dead ball against the worst performing team at corners and dead 
balls. Yet still we held them off.

So on to the Baggies. Let’s hope their new found form (a point from 
Liverpool)is not yet set in stone and we come back all guns blazing.

 Yep good comment again. We were outplayed yesterday and there were players who 
clearly struggled. No harm in discussing that.

 Can't disagree with anything there. Chelsea looked much better than anything I 
have seen from this season.

 Hard not to agree that Chelsea were better than us in most aspects of the game 
- whereas Leicester soaked up pressure and sucker-pinched us with speed and 
skill (rope-a-dope) - Chelsea showed basically what our system looks like with 
better quality players.

Cooper, Alioski, Dallas, Klich, Harrison (and perhaps Ayling…) all looked this 
was the level that was just beyond them. Which is harsh given how superb all 
have been for the last 2 or 3 years, and given the improvement that each has 
seen in their own game. We’ve seen that these guys can make it happen to a 
level just around the European qualification mark but that to be truly pushing 
at the top we can’t have that many players out of 11 not quite making it. All 
of which sounds like damning them, it is not meant to, I have been stunned by 
how much better our team and these individuals have got in the last 26 months - 
and how much I have enjoyed watching us play, for the first time since O’Leary 
really - and if we finish where we are now in the league, the fact that that 
would feel like a small disappointment tells you how far we’ve come - but in 
the end there are limits to what training and coaching will achieve, especially 
against bottomless wallets.

Bamford’s goal was absolutely top drawer - the pass out of defence, Phillips’ 
first time ball (I have rarely seen a better weighted pass, and with his 
‘wrong' foot), and the first touch and the finish - he still had work to do to 
get the finish right. Yes, their keeper made a strange decision. No stranger 
than their winger who somehow cleared that ball off our goal line via the 
crossbar a few minutes later.

It felt like we were in the game for the first hour, but their second goal 
really did for us - they apparently score a lot from corners - the delivery is 
good and that time Zouma absolutely dominated the box for that header. A bit 
like Liverpool’s second, and like that one, there were bodies tumbling in box 
in the path of the onrushing goalscorer - it looks like American football, 
where teams chuck in blockers to clear a path for the quarter back - hard to 
tell if it is a tactic or just luck - either way we need to be tougher and 
cannier when defending set pieces.

I thought we struggled down our left all game - which may be the result of 
their right back, James, who really was something else - but as Rich says, 
we’re playing someone out of position at left back…and Cooper is at his limit. 
We may be better with 3 CHalfs and 5 across the middle, if we can’t find a good 
full back. I thought Llorente did OK in what were difficult circumstances for 
him - when fit, I see him and Koch as the natural CHalf pairing.

We do have to find a place for Rodrigo to start, he gives a muscularity and 
drive that we seem shy of, when pushing forward. Raphina did OK when he was in 
the game…and could very well have got us a second with that shot and rebound in 
the second half, but we didn’t get the ball to him enough.

We commented after about 55 minutes that names we hadn’t heard from the 
commentators anything like as much as we normally do were Dallas, Klich, 
Harrison…which shows that our midfield was second to pretty much everything.

I dislike Frank Lampard just a little bit more now.

Re: [LU] VAR for offside

 They have the goal line technology for the Lampard scenario (not VAR). That 
was all that was required. The rest has become a hot mess.

 I’m not a fan of VAR. I always thought it a sledgehammer to crack a nut. 
English commentariat got itself all excited after Lampard’s ‘goal’ against 
Germany and demanded ‘something be done’. But across a season decisions evened 
out, pre-VAR...now we’ve actually legislated ‘in’ interference. 

They’re having to create a raft of secondary rules about when it is used and 
when not. 

A system that doesn’t penalise Everton’s keeper for that wild foul, but 
disallows Bamford’s goal is not fit for purpose.
