[LU] Cardiff

2023-08-06 Thread nattan--- via Leedslist
" f off home and shag your sheep" chanted leeds fans at the end ( i make no 
comment re Yorkshire sheep shaggers ) and it made us laugh but at one point 
this song could easily have been booing the team off .
After 2 boring and pretty awful years in the Prem, this was a return to the 
championship and the madness that goes with it.
Pre game we all agreed that no predictions about the season coukd realistically 
be made till the window is shut, and  i stick with that view. Keep Summerville, 
 Sinisterra and Gnonto and add a good goalscorer/ no 9 and we can walk this 
league , lose those 3 and don't add to the squad and things will be tough.
Oversall we were streets ahead of cardiff as Ampadu and Gray bossed the 
midfield and the 3 lads up front tore holes through their defence.  This game 
could have been 3 or 4 nil and not flattered us.
However all our failings came back and it made even a point look dodgy for a 
long period.
We gave away 2 really soft goals, Hjelde proved he is not a left back and 
Ayling,  much as i love him, showed he is finished,  as we let them have the 
freedom of our last third of the pitch and our penalty area, so we were 
suddenly 2 down,  having nearly scored the goal of the season when Gnonto fired 
just over.
The good news,  Byram looked the part especially going forward , and we kept 
going right till the end and looked the fitter of the 2 teams 
So all in all 2 pts dropped or a point gained , take your pick, but it was fun. 
It was great to see a leeds team, once again,  wanting to keep the ball and 
pass it around and then the attacking flair of GSS up top was brilliant to 
watch. 
We will play much worse and win this season. 
Get a goal scorer and we will be fine if we can keep these players

 Some stats don't tell you owt, we know that, you just have to watch the games 
to see that he doesn't influence them and they seem to pass him by. I think the 
stat was progressive passes, and for him that could be getting the ball and 
playing it out to Harrison or Gnonto on the left. 
Cardiff was actually one of his better games as he did see a lot of the ball 
early on and did try to move things forward and even had a couple of shots that 
were blocked but given who we were playing he didn't impress like others did.

 Yes, at times we looked to be 433 with Harrison on the left of the midfield 3. 
As Rich says though, I’m not convinced by either Greenwood or Roca in central 
midfield and certainly not Aaronson.
Roca is a mystery though. I keep seeing people posting metrics on Twitter that 
show him in a very positive light, but when I actually watch him at the games I 
just don’t see it. The games seem to pass him by most of the time.
Really pleased to see Bamford back and scoring but still massive concerns about 
the defence when we play a prem team.

I thought Harrison seemed to be playing more centrally last night - not out on 
the touchline. I wonder if that’s part of a longer-term plan; wouldn’t hate the 
idea of him in the middle of the pitch…

 I agree it's a problem position but it's a nice problem to have. 
I think a bigger problem is who plays alongside Adams. I think we need Adams to 
protect the back 4 which means we need a player who can go box to box alongside 
him. That's not Roca or Greenwood. I think we look vulnerable i midfield when 
teams come at us. Roca is slow and Greenwood defensively is poor.

I think he has to drop Aaronson. He is behind Gnonto, Rodrigo and Bamford on 
impact alone; he is also behind Harrison who had a quietly effective game 
yesterday - I noticed he was doing a lot of shouting and organising of Gnonto 
and Firpo up and down the left, he also set up the 2nd and 3rd goals. He is 
also, presumably behind our record signing. 

A word for Rodrigo - who is so full of confidence at the moment, it is a real 
pleasure to see him playing so well and thriving.

And then Sinisterra. And what of Gelhardt? Perkins?

No idea what Ayling was trying to do with that cross…

We desperately need to learn how to defend… and, yeah Roca was mainly pants 
yesterday.

A  game of two halves again. And again, even against drek, we reverted to form. 
It simply will not do. 
I am extremely pessimistic about this season and do not see how one game can 
change anything. 
The writing has been on the wall for some time now. We are careering straight 
into the wall regardless.
I want to be wrong.

A real ‘novelty’ of a cup match to have it won so early, albeit against hapless 
opponents. But of course, the same defensive frailties as soon as a team starts 
to push forward - it started when Llorente fluffed his role, fell over to 
‘cover his mistake’, and from then on they started to look nervous. Luke 
Ayling, bless him - how many goals does he have to give away before he is 
rested! Roca was unlucky re the penalty - I thought he was trying to get his 
arm out of the way, but it hit him so a 50/50 call. But Ayling?

No-one has mentioned it, but having Greenwood on for the corners almost 
justifies his inclusion - he takes some great corners. 

Good practice for the weekend though - now the season really does have to start!

Imagine where we’d be if we didn’t start every game basically 2-0 down.

 you say Cardiff offered nothing but that actually scored 3 goals and had 
another couple of good chances which shows how fragile our defence is at the 
moment. 
Credit to Marsch though for actually picking a strong side and going after them 
which has worked well because everyone goes into the Brentford game with our 
tails up. That's how you should treat these cup games, not putting U-23s in , 
losing, then suffering for weeks because of it which is what we have done for 
the last 10+ years. 
Having said that I think Marsch was forced to pick a strong team as his job is 
on the line. 
Interesting team selection dilemma for Sunday. Nice to have but you surely 
can't ignore Bamford who looks sharp after his recent op.

Re: [LU] Cardiff 21 years ago

2023-01-08 Thread Richard Walker via Leedslist
Despite the comeback, that was simply not good enough. Kristenson and Firpo 
cannot defend and the central pair were like watching the Chuckle brothers. 
Never rated Struijk as a central defender and I think today really showed why.
Our midfield was non-existent. 

They were proper shite and we really struggled. Not many positives for me 
however pleased for the fans that we actually clawed it back. Imagine the 6 
hour coach journey back home if we’d lost.
Boreham Wood and Accrington away if we win. Winnable ! Maybe this is our year ?

I'm not great fan of the Mail on Sunday, but there is a huge piece on the
Cardiff game 21 years ago when we were top of the Premiership and got
humbled by a committed Cardiff team.

The current players, management, owners and everyone should be forced to
read that this morning and told how much the memory of that day still hurts
Leeds fans.  The actions of Sam Hammam and the immediate aftermath is still
painful.

It could also be regarded as the El Alemein moment in Leeds recent history
as nothing much went right from then on for a long time.

Whilst the players from that day have all moved on to other clubs, and in
20 years time the current bunch will all be elsewhere, the fans will have
to live with what happens today for 20 years and more. So firstly let's
pick a team that can put a bit of trepidation into the Cardiff players
rather than encourage them, and then motivate them that it is not a
pointless sideshow to the league.

Not sure how much our part B-team will worry Cardiff, but hopefully we’ll have 
more than enough for them. Firpo on the pitch, so prepare for slapstick - he 
might even score, but whether he’ll defend or not who knows?

I do actually think this should be comfortable, for no logical reason 
whatsoever ;-)

Brilliant memory post King of Tonga.  Yes, some of us still live with the 
memory of that  game, and I think a few of us still regard that as the last 
time LUFC had any ambition to progress in that competition.  I'm not sure this 
squad are 1972 capable, but I wish at least we'd give it a fucking go instead 
of fielding U-17s, thereby showing some respect to the 6,000+ fans travelling 
to the game and paying hard-earned moolah for an expensive day-out.  Not all of 
the fans are on £30,000 a week

I'm not great fan of the Mail on Sunday, but there is a huge piece on the 
Cardiff game 21 years ago when we were top of the Premiership and got humbled 
by a committed Cardiff team.

The current players, management, owners and everyone should be forced to read 
that this morning and told how much the memory of that day still hurts Leeds 
fans.  The actions of Sam Hammam and the immediate aftermath is still painful.

It could also be regarded as the El Alemein moment in Leeds recent history as 
nothing much went right from then on for a long time.

Whilst the players from that day have all moved on to other clubs, and in
20 years time the current bunch will all be elsewhere, the fans will have to 
live with what happens today for 20 years and more. So firstly let's pick a 
team that can put a bit of trepidation into the Cardiff players rather than 
encourage them, and then motivate them that it is not a pointless sideshow to 
the league.

As you know, Philips being the first name on the team sheet really pisses me 
off. Yes, he's improved and he has qualities for certain matches and certain 
periods within matches that at this level are required. However, I still think 
that he's a mid table, championship footballer and building a team around him 
strolling around the park and taking every set piece is just short sighted. His 
performance against Cardiff summed this up perfectly. His set pieces were poor 
and he struggled to make an impact on the game. His only real contribution was 
giving the ball away with a lazy pass for their goal.

Your lad Edmondson has to be worth a place on a bench of 9.  Could he possibly

In that sort of game we rely on Pablo either scoring himself, or laying on the

 Yes normally we have those midfielders dropping and rotating to get the ball

Meslier - bit unfair he had nothing to do and could do nothing on either shot. 
Literally a passenger.
Harrison - Yes he did hit the first man a few times but he also put in some 
good balls in the right areas but Bamford is making weird runs or Roberts is 
outside the box.
Klich - He was poor...and got annoying as the game went on as he got pissy

international midfielder? God no And once he lost the ball he just strolled 
back.
Pablo - had the worst game of all. WTF is he getting injured for. We missed him 
badly.
I think we just needed to play a bit quicker which we do when we are at our 
best. It was all a bit lethargic. Cardiff just had to sit back really (but even 
then we should have scored from Harrison if Bamford had not got in the way.) I

I was pretty disappointed with our performance and despite having our usual 70% 
of possession I don't think we would have scored if we were still playing now.

Bamford just continued where he left off, a player who plays on the periphery 
of the game but when he does get involved he fucks up. He's now added 
clearances for the opposition defence to his game. What a player. 
Costa started on the wing again and he got into some good positions but his 
final ball is non-existant and he looks like he's shooting through treacle. He

player and will come good eventually but maybe I'm wrong and he is actually

Harrison - after listening to the Don Goodman banging on about how he's impoved 
this season, Harrison treated us to a performance that was worse than some of 
the drivel he served up last season. Time and time again his cross never 
managed to beat the first blue shirt. Very frustrating. 
Roberts - he's having a laugh. A couple of fancy foot juggles doesn't represent 
a good performance. He never got a hold of the game and in the end was just a 
passenger. I'd play him up front instead of Bamford and play Gotts or Shack in 
midfield in the absence of Pablo. But that might not fit with Bielsa's rigid

[LU] Cardiff - here we go again

2020-06-21 Thread John Lee via Leedslist
As if things haven’t been grim enough  Clearly I’d forgotten how this team can 
frustrate me! 

The positives: we look fit; lots of possession; ppromotion-wise we’re not 
really any worse off than yesterday
The negatives: never really looked like scoring (despite the stats); 2 sh*t 
defensive passes cost us 2 goals; Roberts - lightweight and ineffective; 
Bamford - awful first touch and jinxed by bad luck; Poveda - why?; all-round 
passing - sloppy as hell!

The Fulham game is probably going to be season-defining.

2019-12-14 Thread nat...@sky.com
WTF , I mean WTF , I have watched Leeds in over 1000 games in over 40 years but 
this had got to be one of the hardest to explain 
We were on the front foot from the off but  very early on they got  a corner , 
in the past we were scared by this but recently as my lad pointed out  " we are 
 more likely to score from this than you " 30 seconds later his half joke came 
true as we turned defence into attack. The ball came to Panlo and he put a 
lovely ball through to Costa and,  bang 1-0
Minutes later a cross into the box came to Bamford who took his time, took it 
on his chest and fired home. 2 up and less than 10 minutes gone
We all felt that was game over but agreed we needed another before we could 
start to really enjoy it. We continued to play great stuff in an effort to get 
that 3rd but they did miss a chance just before half time 
I went to Fanzone for a half time pint and we all agreed we were hammering an 
awful team, a slight bit of  concern over how it would go if they pulled one 
back but  basically 100% confidence
Things got even better when the ref seemed to favour us with a decision when a 
great ball by klich found Bamford who was fouled and ref gave a penalty  - 
Bamford duly obliged and so 3 up and game over
Then from nowhere Cardiif got a goal , not too sure how but ball came to one of 
theirs who lobbed it in. Seemed both a fluke and inconsequential.  We continued 
to rip them apart  and create chances,  surely only a matter of time before we 
got a 4th. 
Then a cross from nowhere was headed in 3 2 but jo need to worry.  A diving 
tackle on the recently introduced Eddie got a red and extinguished all nerves 3 
2 up, in total control and thrm down to ten.What could go wrong ?
Fuck,this is Leeds United,  if it can ho wrong it will - was down the other end 
so not sure who, how or why but suddenly again against the run of play the ball 
was in our net
We still had a chance to win it as eddies shot fell to white and he contrived 
to miss from a yard out
Amazing  - they had 3 shots and scored 3goals. Our impenetrable defence  
breached 3 times by a terrible team who did nothing to earn it
Then we found out Fulhan and Forest had both lost so apart from Preston we had 
gained a point on our rivals ( at least for second spot)
We need to put this result to one side and concentrate on how well we actually 
played and make sure complacency foes not cost us points
Like I say this game can be summed up in 3 letters WTF
Dave

 On replays it seemed that their defender got to Alioskis shot just as he was 
hitting it so took the pace and direction off it.
And noone mentioned Bamba's tackle on Alioski. I think anywhere on the pitch 
that is a possible red. Yes he got the ball but he definitely took out Alioski 
at the same time with his foot at least two feet in the air.

 Can’t add much to that. De Bock was poor for their second goal but apart from

For me Pennington was our man of the match with Forshaw a close second - shows 
what signing players with experience of the division can do.
Apart from that utter rubbish. Before kick off I thought we’d lose 2 or 3 nil, 
after the first 10 I thought at least 4 nil.
We simply can’t cope with physical teams. I don’t understand a recruitment 
process that involves signing predominantly small players. Apart from the 
centre backs only Lasogga offers anything in the air. It makes us too easy to 
defend against from set pieces and puts us under pressure every time we defend 
a set piece. 
The ref will take a lot of heat but he doesn’t make Lasogga miss an open goal 
from 5 yards or Alioski scuff a shot from 5 yards either or make Berardi , 
already on a yellow , lunge stupidly at the ball.
I’ve had enough of Roofe. Did a Roofe watch today after thinking I was maybe 
being too harsh on him as others think he’s ok. I kept a count of how many 
times he did something good versus something bad. When I gave up second half , 
bad was winning 8-3. He can’t control the ball, make simple sense passes or 
stop falling over. Pinching a living.
While I think there are serious holes in the squad (centre back for one), this 
squad is better than they’ve performed and for that TC has to take full 
responsibility. Taking Lasogga off for Sakho was ridiculous - how Roofe stayed

 Some responses fro me:

do exempt Forshaw from criticism, he battled hard and looked to be a good 
acquisition   
   - Totally agree he looks a good skillful player. Good buy.

BUT it was final proof that Roofe will never make it at this level , no doubt 
he will score 20 goals in each of the next few seasons but only if he drops 
down a Division or probably two.    
   - I have been asking all season that he be played as a striker where he 
played in League 1. However, he obviously cannot hack up top on his own. 
Disappointing really.
Alioski is nowhere near good enough   
   - He is probably the biggest disappointment for me. I do credit his work 
rate though, he worked his bollocks off today and at least seemed to be pissed 
we were losing. But he doesn't seem skillful enough, is not fast enough and not 
physically strong enough against championship players. Bit like Roofe really.
Hernandez is past it   
   - Feel this way too. He has not stepped up in Saiz's absence and he is a 
liability defensively. Looks pretty at times but pretty ineffective most of the 
other time.

Felix will never make it in England   
   - Feel this may be a bit harsh. Don't really think there was anything he 
could have done today and he was our best player against Hull.

Lassogga could score goals but not when we do not play to his strengths and 
finally   
   - Again agree get him the ball around the 18 and in the box think he will 
score.

Vieirra may be the best young prospect we have had since Cook BUT he needs to 
be much much more consistent 
   
   - Has been disappointing this season. What happened to the Vierra of the 
Derby game last year?

Can’t add much to that. De Bock was poor for their second goal but apart from 
that thought he looked ok. 
For me Pennington was our man of the match with Forshaw a close second - shows 
what signing players with experience of the division can do.
Apart from that utter rubbish. Before kick off I thought we’d lose 2 or 3 nil, 
after the first 10 I thought at least 4 nil.
We simply can’t cope with physical teams. I don’t understand a recruitment 
process that involves signing predominantly small players. Apart from the 
centre backs only Lasogga offers anything in the air. It makes us too easy to 
defend against from set pieces and puts us under pressure every time we defend

Some of the blame being heaped on TC (not just by you, Rich) s a bit harsh. He 
hasn't had his first XI ever available this season, and he can't buy a decent 
piece of game-changing luck. He also doesn't buy the players. As I've said 
before, we lost our entire spine over the summer and replaced them with players 
who aren't as good. We shouldn't be surprised that our results are therefore 
not as good. That's on Orta and Radz, not TC. I thought the two key moments 
that turned the game today were, first, Bamba stepping (stamping? It was hard 
to tell on TV) on Pontus. On another day, that might have been a straight red 
for their best defender, and a penalty for us. Instead, we lost our best 
defender and most significant aerial threat in a game against a team of 
relative giants. The second turning point was Grujic's assault on Dallas, which 
should have been a straight red but for which the ref didn't even give a 
yellow. At 3-1 down, but with plenty of time left and 10 versus 10 we could hav
 e given it a shot. 


I continue to believe we lack a dominant midfielder, the sort who breaks up the 
opposition's play, wins the ball and feeds it to Alioski/Hernandez/Saiz, who 
then get down the wings cut it back for Lasogga. It was also a disastrous 
decision not to sign a central defender for the first team during the winter 
break. 


Looking back at our season, we will see that the decision to field a 
second-string team against Newport in the Cup, and (particularly) to put a 
bunch of kids plus Saiz on the bench was the turning point of the season. 
Instead of putting most of the first XI out and getting a comfortable win, we 
were hanging on with 15 minutes to go. TC had put a bunch of kids plus Saiz on 
the bench. Needing to lock the game down, he clearly didn't trust the kids (so 
why have them on the bench?!?), so put on a temperamental attacker. We all know 
what happened next.

Another red card, another defeat and another nail in TC's coffin as the season

Today's first half was just not good enough. It was clear that Cardiff's team 
of 6 foot 3" giants had one thing in mind. Pressure through set pieces and long 
throws. How did we set out to defend against that ? Zonal marking with Pontus 
trying to get to every ball. This left Bamba and a couple of other giants 
unmarked in the box and it was more by good luck that we weren't one down after 
the first corner as the ball went over when it seemed easier to score. A few 
minutes later though the inevitable happened when the ball broke loose on the 
left and an easy cross from the left found a Cardiff giant unmarked at the back 
post to nod home. Were was the marking ? De Bock ? Pennington ? Where was the 
keeper ? He was firmly rooted to his line and games like this against typical, 
strong championship teams only emphasise how unequipped continental players 
like Wieldwald and De Bock are for the Championship. 
Then came the second, another long ball over the top. Pennington dithered

the boy Madine made a real meal of it, rolling around as if he'd ben shot. If 
I'm being realistic I'd say Beradi is a brainless twat whose reputation seems 
to have gone to his head. Too many red cards and reckless challenges. Playing 
the hard man is great but when it's costing us games then I think the fans have 
to reassess his hero status. I'd actually say, he ain't that good. On display 
of the red card, Madine jumped up and ran towards the Leeds box for the 
free-kick. Beradi saw red and wanted to chin him and headed towards him. I 
think it would have been a good scrap, the stocky bull against the 6 ft 3 
Madine. I think Beradi would have flattened him, luckily Pennington intervened 
and Beradi was shown the tunnel.
From the resulting free-kick it was obvious we hadn't got a plan on to the 
pitch and a Cardiff player (Morrison) had anotehr free header to put Cardiff 
3-0 ahead at the break. 
It wasn't all one way traffic in the first half and if there's one thing about 
Cardiff they sit back and let you attack so we had lots of the ball in midfield 
and as a result created some good chances. Lasogga had a great right foot long 
distance effort parried onto the post by the Cardiff keeper - unlucky and then 
the chance of the game as Lasogga headed against the bar unmarked from 5 yards. 
The rebound came to the hapless Allioski who missed from 5 yards. Good save 
from the keeper but both Lasogga's header and Allioski's shot should have ended 
up in the net. That's the second glaring miss from Allioski in as many games. 
I have to admit, I nearly left at half-time. I've only done that once before 
and that was at a friendly in Dublin against Liverpool. Glad I stayed because 
at least we put up a fight in the second half but you have to question why it 
took a bollocking at half-time for some players to realise that they had to put 
themselves on the line or was it that Cardiff just took it easy in the second 
half. They certainly took their foot off the gas. 
Dallas came on and played as a right winger, De Bock moved into centre back 
position alongside Pennington and actually looked more comfortable although as 
I say, Cardiff had got their slippers and dressing gowns on by then. 
Hernandez was busy as always and he pushed forward and we began to cause them 
problems. Roofe ran hard but to no great affect and Allioski actually started 
to cause one or two problems. I think it was Dallas who got down the wing, 
crossed low and with Roofe running in at the back post, Bamba tried to 
intercept but ending up poking it into his own net. I think he was feeling 
sorry for us. 
It raised our tempo and there was a belief that we could get back into it and 
we continued to cause them half problems from good tempo and effort. Pennington 
looked a different player and he was driving us forward from the back. Why did 
it take us so long to start looking like a team ? 
It wasn't nearly enough though and at times we struggled through players 
failing to control simple balls - Roofe and Lasogga being the main culprits. If 
there was ever a game which highlighted Kemar Roofe's deficiencies and 
weaknesses this was it. Yes he ran round

Didn't see much if it as at work but I thought the ref first 20 let a lot go. 
Was confident until Kilch’s mistake. Then had to work...maybe best thing.

Still work in progress re what our best line up looks like, but I thought TC 
bottled it at 2-0 - he should have brought on Saiz and Lasogga and gone for it. 
Whilst Roofe got a goal, how was him leading the line the right decision? As 
for Cooper, that was a bad game to do something as monumentally amateurish as 
that! Brought last season flooding back. Shame for Klich with his stumble, cos 
he did ok generally, but that result sticks in my craw, especially with the

Apparently Phil Hay asked him about Jansson and why he didn't play on Sat and 
TC told him that he was fit and he intentionally left him out. Sounds like 
bollox to me.

TC told Popey that playing it out from the back is 'our identity' and I get 
that however Ipswich sussed it immediately and pushed up and stopped us doing 
it. This created complete panic and disarray at the back for us and it was 
clear that this is the tactic no matter what and Plan B (lump it long) is not 
actually part of our plan at all.

Jansson clearly seems to be carrying some muscle / leg niggle based on him
coming off at Millwall. May be a case that he technically could have
played, but TC knew that would in turn have made him doubtful for Tuesday /
vulnerable to getting a longer term injury. Whether someone is 'fit' is
seldom back and white. Players slog on with a variety of knocks and niggles
(as do we all!). Cardiff and Weds more key games to have him available.

   Dave, one incident in the second half sumed it up for me. We had a

   one. I could not believe taking a long throw that we did congest the
   box with bodies like Cardiff did to us


Yes, we all commented on that.
I agree with most of what Dave and Rich said bit I have to disagree with
Rich's assessment of Wood.
We thought he made some good runs off the ball, getting into decent
positions but never received the ball. What's the point in having a big man
up front if your wide players (which we seem to have loads of) never get
the ball crossed? He also found himself having to go back to the half way
line to get the ball - he was then having to "race" up front in the hope of
getting it back.

Also, a major difference - their 1st goal came from a free kick just inside
our half - they fired it across into the box and scored. In the 1st half we
had a free kick in a similar position, what did we do? Passed it backwards
to keep ineffective possession.

We never had a Plan B and reminded me of Reading's performance against us
earlier in the season, a performance everyone mocked for having loads of
possession with no end result.

A miserable wet day at ER, must have affected me cos I went home on an
early train instead of staying on the lash.

Let's just hope it's a blip. We've had a great record at home recently and
hopefully we'll get back on track on Tuesday.

Lots of ways of looking at this game but here's my take.

For the first time this season a team came to contain us and sat deep and just 
let us pass it around. I'd be surprised if we had less than 60 % throughout 
today but we didn't have the fire power to hurt Cardiff who were a team of big, 
talentless bastards. Our best performances - Villa, Derby were against teams 
who came to Elland Road thinking they could beat us and pushed forward. Neil 
Warnock, the canny old cunt came with no attacking intentions at all. It worked 
although I think he was lucky.

Had Jansson been playing today I think we would have won. Free headers in the 
box from set pieces don't happen when he's playing with Bartlett but as hard as 
Cooper tried today he just isn't up to their level and it really unsettles us 
when he plays. Maybe Ayling with Bartlett is the preferred pairing when Jansson 
is not playing.

I've just heard Monk's post match interview with Popey and he reckons he knew 
that Cardiff would set up with 11 men behind the ball. If that's the case why 
play with one up front. Bamba and the or big twat at the back had Chris Wood in 
their pocket most of the match but we just toiled and passed square balls 
around the park. Our formation relies on two wingers and an attacking 
midfielder but when one of those wingers is Stuart Dallas and the other a young 
lad making his home debut and first start you're always going to struggle. 
Whilst Padraza ( or someone with a name like that) stood on the left wing 
stroking his cock, Dallas tried to make things happen down the right. All our 
play went down the right wing in the first half and time after time it just 
petered out. Dallas is not a winger and I'm not really sure want he is apart 
from not good enough.

With a game like this where we're having to make 20 passes to try and create 
some space you're relying on Hernandez to do something special and credit to 
him he tried everything to make it work but short of beating 9 big bastards and 
slamming it home it was never going to happen. For all our possession their 
keeper hasn't had to make a decent save all afternoon. We had two excellent 
free kick opportunities but Woods passed one back to their keeper whereas 
Hernandes failed to get it over the big bastards in the wall.

Very frustrating first half but we didn't look in trouble and it was in,y a 
matter of time.

Nope - difference was Warnock was looking for the win and continued to be happy 
watching us play aimless football in their half. Credit to Leeds because we 
came out with much more energy and intensity second half and started to trouble 
them. Dallas had obviously had a rocket up his arse and he came looking for the 
ball. It didn't last long because Monk dragged him off and replaced with Sacko. 
It wasn't the right solution though, we needed an option to play someone up 
alongside the hapless Wood but there's not many players that can do that ( 
Roofe maybe ?). I think Doukara was brought in to do that but the lad didn't 
have a clue what he was doing when he came on. A pointless substitution.

At the other end the inevitable happened. A set piece, an unmarked big bastard 
in the penalty box and an easy goal. Rob Green didn't even fucking move. One of 
the worst goals I've seen at Elland Road for a long time. Panic set in then and 
we tried to chase the game but we just lost all our shape and it was up to 
Hernandes to try and equalise on his own. We had one or two half chances but 
never looked dangerous.

Lots of ways of looking at this game but here's my take.

For the first time this season a team came to contain us and sat deep and just 
let us pass it around. I'd be surprised if we had less than 60 % throughout 
today but we didn't have the fire power to hurt Cardiff who were a team of big, 
talentless bastards. Our best performances - Villa, Derby were against teams 
who came to Elland Road thinking they could beat us and pushed forward. Neil 
Warnock, the canny old cunt came with no attacking intentions at all. It worked 
although I think he was lucky.

Had Jansson been playing today I think we would have won. Free headers in the 
box from set pieces don't happen when he's playing with Bartlett but as hard as 
Cooper tried today he just isn't up to their level and it really unsettles us 
when he plays. Maybe Ayling with Bartlett is the preferred pairing when Jansson 
is not playing.

I've just heard Monk's post match interview with Popey and he reckons he knew 
that Cardiff would set up with 11 men behind the ball. If that's the case why 
play with one up front. Bamba and the or big twat at the back had Chris Wood in 
their pocket most of the match but we just toiled and passed square balls 
around the park. Our formation relies on two wingers and an attacking 
midfielder but when one of those wingers is Stuart Dallas and the other a young 
lad making his home debut and first start you're always going to struggle. 
Whilst Padraza ( or someone with a name like that) stood on the left wing 
stroking his cock, Dallas tried to make things happen down the right. All our 
play went down the right wing in the first half and time after time it just 
petered out. Dallas is not a winger and I'm not really sure want he is apart 
from not good enough.

With a game like this where we're having to make 20 passes to try and create 
some space you're relying on Hernandez to do something special and credit to 
him he tried everything to make it work but short of beating 9 big bastards and 
slamming it home it was never going to happen. For all our possession their 
keeper hasn't had to make a decent save all afternoon. We had two excellent 
free kick opportunities but Woods passed one back to their keeper whereas 
Hernandes failed to get it over the big bastards in the wall.

Very frustrating first half but we didn't look in trouble and it was in,y a 
matter of time.

Nope - difference was Warnock was looking for the win and continued to be happy 
watching us play aimless football in their half. Credit to Leeds because we 
came out with much more energy and intensity second half and started to trouble 
them. Dallas had obviously had a rocket up his arse and he came looking for the 
ball. It didn't last long because Monk dragged him off and replaced with Sacko. 
It wasn't the right solution though, we needed an option to play someone up 
alongside the hapless Wood but there's not many players that can do that ( 
Roofe maybe ?). I think Doukara was brought in to do that but the lad didn't 
have a clue what he was doing when he came on. A pointless substitution.

At the other end the inevitable happened. A set piece, an unmarked big bastard 
in the penalty box and an easy goal. Rob Green didn't even fucking move. One of 
the worst goals I've seen at Elland Road for a long time. Panic set in then and 
we tried to chase the game but we just lost all our shape and it was up to 
Hernandes to try and equalise on his own. We had one or two half chances but 
never looked dangerous.

At the other end we panicked, Vierra lost the ball and let their only short 
arse in to pull it back for an easy tap in. 2-0 game over,

We continued to push forward and Roofe missed our best chance of the game and 
in the end it petered out. 

Fair play to Warnock , he out thought Monk who needs to think about a plan B 
when teams come to defend like this. You can't play one up front ! Basics.

Scores

Green -  4. Didn't have anything to do other than pick the ball out of the net 
twice.

Ayling - 6 I thought he did ok first half and really tried to get things going 
down the right with Dallas ( that was never going to happen). Second half I 
thought he got the run around a bit by Cardiff 's best and only player.

Beradi - 7 I thought he did really well. He really showed determination and put 
himself on the line a few times. Never looks completely comfortable at left 
back though. As good as Ayling as been I think Beradi would be the better right 
back.

Bartley - 4. For all those who think Bartlett has been the real success at the 
back rather than Jansson can they answer the question why he looks like Sol 
Bamba on a bad day when he plays with Cooper ? He was over the place today.

Cooper - 4. He seems to be trying too hard and although he gets through a lot 
of good work he always looks vulnerable. I'm afraid he's not quite good enough 
for a team chasing the play offs.

Bridcutt - 3. Mouthy little cunt, got booked and then did his usual bad

I don't know if my expectations are just so low, but I was actually pretty 
upbeat after Saturday's game.
I realise it was a few days ago now, but I thought it was a huge improvement on 
anything I've seen for quite a few years.

It may be premature to say the corner has been turned, but I've never been slow 
to make negative comments on the basis of 1 match.

Ok Leeds were pinned back for large periods of the 1st half, but coped pretty 
well.  This was largely due to the presence of Jannson.  The fact that he wins 
everything in the air, meant it did not look like we would concede a goal at 
every set piece.

By the time the 2nd half came, the whole team had gained more confidence from 
the solid-looking defence.

Hernandez, Sacko, Vieira all came into the game more and Leeds really looked 
the better team.
Hernandez is a luxury player, but you can afford to have one in that position.  
It is ages since I've seen a Leeds player with that ability to run at a 
defence, pick a pass (when he feels like it) or have a shot.  Sacko and Dallas  
both do their defensive share, and Sacko looks a real threat going forward.  In 
fact there aren't many teams who will have 3 such good players supporting their 
striker.

I actually thought O'Kane showed pretty good composure, especially after the 
first 30 mins

On the minus side I'm not convinced by Wood.  Playing as a sole striker is a 
lonely role, especially away from home.  I would expect the 3 supporting 
players to be closer to him in home matches.  Any player who is capable of 
winning headers, hold-up play, being a threat behind a defence, and being the 
team's main goalscorer, would  not remain the Championship for long.  He does 
need to up his rate of taking chances. If Lambert had had a couple of those 
chances, my money would have been on him scoring.

Also I'm afraid Green did not do much to improve my confidence in him, but I 
was happy with the rest of them.

Overall now, I'm looking forward to a bit of a climb up the table.  I'm not too 
bothered if Monkfish makes a few changes in forward positions for the League 
Cup.
Give Antonnson, Mowatt and Roofe a start perhaps, but keep the defence the same 
to build up a bit of a rapport.

Cheers
KOT.

Couple of things - when was the last time our centre halves got such praise ' 
if Pontus doesn't get you, Bartley will' 
Of course it is too soon to say our corner / free kick problems are over - we 
were saved by the post twice and Green looks suspect - but today and supposedly 
in the last 2 games (especially Blackburn) we conceded a lot of corners and 
dangerous free kicks and managed to deal with them one way and another.IF these 
2 can be that solid week in week out (and not turn to shite if we actually sign 
them!) then that is the base of a decent side.
I feel sorry for Wood (NB Sky it is Wood and not WoodS) - the stick he gets 
from fans is in direct contrast to the praise he got (again) from the ex 
players and 'experts' - Birtles and the other commentator, Prutts and Holloway 
all said how well his overall game was, albeit he missed a couple when he got 
into good positions but the fans still call him a lump of Wood despitethe fact 
that  his goal scoring record for us, per minute etc, is more than decent. I do 
get the criticism since he is ungainly etc but I think we need to give the lad 
a break and give him credit for what he does well rather than stick for what he 
does badly
For me today, O'Kane and Vieirra were both annonymous , though TV does not 
always show how well a defensive midfielder does, and we gave the ball away 
(Hernandez was another one guilty of this) much too often, and both Dallas and 
Sacko need more and better end product. BUT we weathered a bit of a storm first 
half and did a lot better second half and were 'worthy winners' as Dolly used 
to say

Going forward we can build on this - get a rock solid defence sorted and the 
pace and trickery of Sacko, Hernandez and hopefully Roofe, will cause teams 
problems - we do look like  a team that will be better defending and hitting on 
the break and that is probably why we are better away from home.
Another 3 points nearer to safety and even the papers may stop saying Monk is 
one game away from the scak now (he is probably 3 games away !!)

definitely, Jannson the new Molenaar?

While the performance was pretty dire for most of the match, the players do
seem to be more confident in each other.  I think we need to give o'kane
more time he hasn't had a lot of match prective in the last 18 months.
Hernadez is definitely a luxury player at the moment, his goal was great but
that was about it from him, Viera was annoymous, but given we were without
Bridcutt, more to be happy about than usual on a matchday.

Massive credit to Pontus Jansson for that. He's a colossus. Best centre back

Brilliant goal followed useless decision making 2 mins earlier. Sums him up.

Having moaned all through the match I do think there has been an improvement 
second half after we were gifted a pen.

Overall though , poor for me. Too many sloppy passes, Hernandes, O'Kane being 
the main culprits. .

Well the Welsh team were rubbish but we WON, at HOME, on a Tuesday NIGHT , 
against CARDIFF and boy, did the 17k diehards who turned up enjoy it. The 
atmosphere at the end was as if we had won a trophy not just a fairly 
meaningless run of the mill league game.I had an awful journey - train very 
late, very overcrowded and got later and later. Instead of getting drunk I only 
met my mates in the Pavilion for a couple of pints. Got there in time to hear 
Lorimer say he could not see us keeping a clean sheet but going for a 2 1 win. 
This was also the view of Terry Yorath who had all the fans in there clapping 
and cheering when he said he was not sure about the manager but we were going 
nowhere with Cellino in charge.Then to make matters worse I heard that Wooton 
was right back, Bellusci in the centre and that Murphy was starting. All 3 of 
them (and most of the other 8) had me eating my words - Wooton and Bellusci 
(alongside the impressive Cooper) did not put a foot wrong and Murphy played 
probably his best game for us - certainly the first hour, when, for once, not 
only did he spray the ball around but he even imposed himself on the game and 
dictated play. He was ably assisted in midfield by Cook and Mowatt who looked 
back to the player he was last season, the shackles of 4 3 3 which did not suit 
him having been removed. Berardi was again solid and Antenucci worked his socks 
off up front. Wood grew into the game, he still looks short of confidence and 
should have scored / laid it on a plate for someone else to score with 
10minutes to go which would have ended it as a contest. Silvesrtri had little 
to do, plucking one ball headed right at him on the line and diving to make one 
save near the end to ensure we kept the 3 points. Dallas was the only one below 
par and he did OK and worked hard.All of them (subs were all too late to do 
much) gave everything and looked like a team who wanted to win and who cared 
about it. They were roared on by a low but appreciative crowd, with both ends 
singing along at times.Cardiff were as poor a team as I have seen this season, 
and though they did Ok at the back they carried no threat at all up front until 
the last 15mins when we looked tired and panicky and Kenwyne Jones had us 
recalling Zamora and Ameobi in recent weeks.First half was all us but one 
scramble and Ante hitting the side netting apart, we struggled to really create 
clear cut chances. We were by far the better team and they went off to a 
rousing reception rather than boos at half time (there was sarcastic applause 
on 14 seconds when it was still 0-0 after the time Blackburn scored)I was so 
confident I even took up my wife's £10 bet offer when she texted me at half 
time (I have let her off paying me, I am that pleased!)We continued to control 
the game and a couple of good passing moves nearly brought us the rewards we 
deserved. Then came the moment of the match. Mowatt strode forward with the 
ball and we all screamed for him to pass to his left where we had a two man 
overlap - Alex knew better and hit a screamer that bent and moved and went 
right in the top corner - the keeper had to just stand and watch. We went 
mental - I pointed out that according to someone on the bus on Thursday, we 
have only been ahead for 3 minutes at home this season (v Burnley)- and we all 
wondered if we could hold on.We retreated a bit, they came out of their shell 
and despite the fact that we had the weekend off we started to look tired. A 
couple of half chances fell their way and they looked a bit dangerous with a 
couple of corners (one a free header right at Silvestri) I thought we may just 
hang on but was twitching a bit when Wood chased down the ball as the defender 
and keeper dallied over it, he won in and rounded the keeper - all he needed to 
do was pull it back to Ante or Mowatt(?) who were both free and could have put 
it into an empty net, but he chose to try and score himself from a tight angle, 
too tight as it turned out and he hit the side netting.Dallas was , correctly 
subbed, we wanted Bokata to come on to show we were going for it and to cause 
them problems but Byram got the nod. To be fair the couple of touches he got he 
did power into the box, rather than check back as he has been doing of late, 
but his crosses came to nothing. Philips came on and had one very wild shot, 
Doukara came on and controlled one ball with sublime skill (I am sure there is 
a player in there somewhere) but both these (and the Byram sub) were just there 
to run down the clock as the four extra minutes ticked by, the crowd showing

subbed, we wanted Bokata to come on to show we were going for it and to cause 
them problems but Byram got the nod. To be fair the couple of touches he got he 
did power into the box, rather than check back as he has been doing of late, 
but his crosses came to nothing. Philips came on and had one very wild shot, 
Doukara came on and controlled one ball with sublime skill (I am sure there is 
a player in there somewhere) but both these (and the Byram sub) were just there 
to run down the clock as the four extra minutes ticked by, the crowd showing 
their concern by whistling and shouting for the final whistleIn the end the ref 
did blow and it was pandemonium in the stands. 8 months and 12 games of 
frustration and anger blown away in one glorious moment. To quote Rich 
(sarcastic or not) it did not make everything 'all well' but it certainly felt 
good. Hand shakes, smile, back slaps all round and fans still

Well that was an extremely depressing experience. A poor loss, to a poor team, 
in (admittedly) poor conditions. There were no redeeming features that I can 
remember. 

Even our goal, while being nice for the young lad, was born of 2 huge pieces of 
luck - the wind holding up the high cross and then the keeper slipping as he 
tried to readjust his position.

Among the things it said to me were:

- as a team (club?) our self confidence is shot through once again - this has 
been a common theme for years - its not just this manager or this chairman - I 
can’t believe in some ways that this is the same Leeds I used to love in part 
because they never gave up. Eventually I am hope that enough of the young lads 
will come through with a kind of gang mentality that will bring this back…but 
who knows, we’ve got it hold onto them first

- once again our back 5 wilt at the first sign of pressure - Wootton is a 
disaster a RBack; is there really no one better in that position in the 
reserves? Bellucci - too randomly prone to major gaffes and has zero pace; 
Bamba - yeah, Ok he’s done some good things and I have seen more good than bad 
from him so far, so I want to give him time, but yesterday was a car crash from 
him; Breradi - despite his occasionally wild challenges, seems to be the best 
placed and most comfortable defender…and he can play a bit…seems to link well 
with Taylor down the left; Silvestri - sadly is the best keeper we have - I 
reckon he on average he make around 2 “goal-saving” interventions a game - he 
made a great save yesterday when the fella was through one on one after Bamba’s 
ludicrous back pass - even if the ref gave a dead ball. But he doesn’t come for 
crosses, he doesn’t inspire confidence in his defence and he doesn’t command 
his area. As a unit they were all over the place time and again yesterday, they 
don’t seem to talk to each other and Silvestri doesn’t seem to talk to anyone - 
you lose count of how many times Bamba or Bellucci turn round and try and 
exhort some kind of calling from him during the game.

- and we don’t learn - their first goal: a sweet corner, flicked on from the 
penalty spot to a bloke lurking at the far post who was unmarked and knocked it 
in - they repeated this move at least two more times during the game and we 
only just got away with scrambled defending…their second goal was only a slight 
variation on the theme. Footballers/coaches who don’t think and adapt during 
the game are going nowhere

- our midfield looses a lot of its forward momentum and drive when we don’t 
have Cook and Austin in there.

- Antenucci is head and shoulders above the other forwards, but what yesterday 
proved was that you could have Messi up front, its totally pointless if he gets 
no service. I would be surprised if he touched the ball 20 times yesterday

- efforts on goal…Byram at the back post, shot blocked; a dribbler from 
Antenucci; Taylor at the back post, took too long, smothered; Sharp’s header 
against the bar…

- Morrison peeled away at the back post, got a clear header, planted it in the 
Kop…somebody in the crowd shouted something, Morrison obviously heard, turned, 
looked like he was going to have a go…eyeballed the caller for a minute then 
jogged away.

- Philips - he’s young and it was his home debut - so these are just opening 
observations - he needs to step up the speed of reaction time (get with the 
pace of the game)..it will come. There were more than half a dozen times 
yesterday, when he was in the right place, first to the ball, or first to 
control the ball and then he took a beat too long to use it and someone was 
back in at him and had the ball away from him. Also, you could see what he was 
trying to do with some passes, but things close down quicker in these games 
than those he’s used to…he’ll be interesting to watch. He also could probably 
do to do a Mowatt and get into better physical shape to help him with that. BTW 
Mowatt was dreadful yesterday.


The only 3 or 4 that earned their corn yesterday for me were Byram, Taylor, 
Murphy and possibly Breradi. The rest…pish.

At least on Tuesday we’ll see a proper Leeds midfielder...

I am a bit surprised at Cardiff, I totally agree with them refusing a bubble 
trip - think they are a total joke and a real infringement of our civil 
liberties , as they say 'going to football is not a crime'. Having said that i 
think they should have accepted the 500 without restrictions - albeit at the 
same time complaining and pointing out it is against the rules. Then if there 
is no problem, they can argue from a strong position that they should be 
allowed 2,000 next time (albeit I doubt they would sell them). If on the other 
hand there were to be lots of trouble it would be their own fault if a bubble 
trip were then enforcedDave

just to add a bit about the lack of away fans Dave…despite that there were 
more plod all over the place than I’ve seen for years…that truly was money for

 that is no excuse. We basically had one great move that ended with Byram 
 controlling it with his first touch and hitting it with his second. We did 
 nothing else of note in the whole game. We had Antenucci on his own up front 
 to start and Phillips kept his place. Neither of these really worked and both 
 were subbed to be replaced with Morison and Sharp. The replacements went on 
 to show why they do not deserve a start. Elsewhere Bamba played more like 
 Bambi and Silvestri showed that we need a keeper who can do more than just

 Wolves gifts last week, a hopeful cross into the box, the keeper was fooled 
 by the wind and then fell over and it left Phillips with the first , and 
 however long he plays , the easiest goal of his career. Instead of building 
 on this we let them have a few more chances - the best when Bamba missed the 
 ball and their lad was through one on one but he messed it up (I thought 
 Silvestri saved but ref gave a dead ball so maybe he pulled it wide)Not much 
 else hap
 pened till they got another corner later on and another goal as our defence 
 let them have a free header, Silvestri again seemed to get a touch to the 
 first attempt and was helpless for the follow up. So just when we thought 
 that Bamba had solved our defensive woes and that corners would not be our 
 undoing, he had a nightmare and they got 2 goals from straightforward corners 
 hit into the box, nothing clever about them.
 We huffed and puffed a bit but to no effect and the game as has the season, 
 just fizzled out to a chorus of boos and general disenchantment among the 
 fans. It was strange to have no away fans in the ground but is was poor play 
 and a lack of effort and skill that killed the atmosphere
 So with Norwich to come on Tuesday and then Rotherham as our last home game 
 the season cannot end early enough for us all

Adryan is injured and apparently Byram has a slight knock which is why he is on 
the bench (officially).
I think Cellino has picked Beradi. 

As for the selection, brave selection playing Doukara , Antenucci and Morrison 
in the same team. Wouldn't be my choice.

   3 strikers not working, only antennucci seems to be trying to make

   Poor game, Cardiff the better side , hopefully a halftime change or 2
