Re: [LU] Leicester

[Simon McNally via Leedslist]

Agree with both of you.
First time in a long time we’ve had let’s go fucking mental from all sides of 
the ground. My knees and ankles weren’t quite as up for it as they were when I 
was in my twenties!

When Archie's goal went in, it was mental. One of the best times ever at ER.

Re: [LU] Leicester Tonight

[Kevin Lewis via Leedslist]

Hi Rob, To be fair I wasn’t expecting Bamford to be on the bench and I did
declare James.  Didn’t see Roberts as an impact sub but you are so right.
Have to say that Leicester’s subs were the opposite of impact. None of them
got tuned in to the game.  An unexplainable 15 mins all round but bloody
brilliant.

Re: [LU] Leicester

[Nick]

Agreed Dave - that felt much more like last season than what we have seen this 
season so far.

A word for Forshaw - how pleasing was that after all those injuries / setbacks? 
He had a good solid game…basically taking a lot of the weight off KP, and 
allowing him a bit more time to be forward looking.

Raph is simply unplayable at times. I thought Rodrigo had one of his strongest 
/ most influential games for us, without ever really looking like scoring - but 
he was trying some good link-up play with Raph. James and Harrison were a bit 
strange yesterday, both at times dynamic and threatening - James in particular 
carries the ball directly at defences - but then both seemed to lose track of 
the ball or their teammates, just at the vital moment, and the chance went 
begging.

Struijk did some quality overlapping / galloping up the left, but almost no one 
passed to him.

Llorente had a horrendous opening 10 minutes but thereafter was pretty much in 
charge at the back.

Their goal - the long ball looped over Dallas, who shaped as if to kick it, but 
seemed to pull out when he saw another attacker, who he might conceivably have 
been done for dangerous play on, out of the corner of his eye, so he stopped. 
Was a real bugger. 

Looked like we should have had a penalty later on, but thank god for VAR 
because they deserved nothing, certainly not all 3 points, from that.

Enjoyed it. Slow and steady recovery from a wobbly start to the season.

Nick

Re: [LU] Leicester

Nice report Dave.

Yes - for me the best performance of the season, and definitely the best
result.  It was, as you say, "Bielsa-ball" at its best!

I loved the unselfishness of Bamford's pass to Harrison- not many strikers
would have done that!  Bamford's interview at the end was class too.  He
was my MoM.

Rest in Peace Guy, and wear your hat!

Re: [LU] Leicester

[Nick]

I’m with you Dave…it never really mattered that it was Leicester, it could as 
easily have been Watford or Southampton or West Ham…just as long as it wasn’t 
one of the “big 4”.

There are people carping about the financial history etc…well OK, but that 
means nothing to the regular Leicester fan, just like what has happened and is 
happening with us won’t detract from the next thing we win for us. There’s a 
great split in football between those who run the clubs and those who are the 
clubs - the supporters - especially at the top of the game. Your club is your 
club (almost) regardless of what the buffoons and chancers in charge of it, do 
to it.

Just remember Dave...Hope is a bastard.

Have I missed the memo that says no one on the list is allowed to discuss 
Leicester winning the PL, or are you all just sick to death of the wall to wall 
coverage, or too jealous to speak, or not interested?



Doesn't Leicester show that there's hope for us, that the PL isn't only going 
to be won by ManUre, Shitty, Chewsea or Arse for the next 40 years, and that 
there is light at the end of the tunnel (for lots of teams in the 
Championship)?  Perhaps a most unusual alchemy produced Leicester's results 
(manager, players, scouts, owner, fans) that will be hard to replicate, but it 
shows it's not impossible. 



Obviously it's not going to happen to us with MC and SE at the helm, but it 
might at some stage in the future.  On top of that Atletico Madrid are in the 
CL final again, so maybe things at the top are changing?

 Subject: Re: [LU] Leicester
 
 What ifs?
 
 - if their CHalf hadn?t been pulling down on Lees? arm as he went for
 that header?so he was under the ball
 - and if the ref had seen it?

The ref had a poor game.  He got many decisions wrong, missed things, and let 
the wrong things go. He could have booked about three Leicester players just 
for persistent fouling, the body check on Brown was worse than Smith's sending 
off offence last week, as was the deliberate kicking of Pearce (or Warnock?) 
off the ball!  If penalties were given for the kinds of shirt pulling that 
pulled Lees off his header, as you correctly note Nick, then there'd be six or 
seven per game, they just don't seem to give them, at least not to us.

But it was a much better performance, enough of an improvement to see me and a 
couple of (dirty) part time supporters decide to go to the Ipswich game :-)

...and yes Phil, I would still pick Lees...he wasn't the only one at fault
for the goal.
The real surprise has been Zak's decline in the last 3 weeks, its almost as
if we've been sold something that was then swapped under cover of darkness.
He looked good in 2013.


I have to agree Lees was not solely at fault for their goal. Pearce created
the opportunity for Phillips to make the pass before Lees came into play. He
then gave Nugent a little space and Kenny failed to spread himself wide
across the ball and feet of everyone involved. 

Right now Lees and Pearce are the best centre back partnership we have.
Zalukias is a liability. He's been dining off that last ditch tackle in the
dying seconds of the Watford match for weeks. I was screaming for BMD to get
him and Murphy off at half time against Watford. He continually missed his
headers and stood too far off attackers. I don't think he's up to the
intensity of these cup final style matches week in week out Pearce and Lees
are. Scottish football was probably his level.

Of the rest. Reg runs around but I want to see more goal threat. Ross needs
someone to play off. Kebe and Stewart need to go to pre-season boot camp and
get up to speed. Brown and Austin are not the answer I think I'd rather see
Mowatt and Byram given a chance to control midfield. That means Peltier in
the back four. Warnock was a much better option to Pugh. Diouf does now have
a fat arse and I could not work out the point of bringing him on other than
5 minutes in a shop window.

BMD find Kebe and Stewart 2 development squad matches before the Ipswich
game and get them fit, otherwise only play one each half and please please
please don't let this mystery forward you've been speaking to be that man
from Buenos Aires, I don't ever want to see him in a Leeds Shirt again.

I don't know how you can blames Pearce for their goal. He had to leave Phillips 
to try and block Nugent who was being marked by Lees. Lees missed a number of 
headers 2nd half and failed to cover when they hit the post in the 1st half.

Kenny should have done better for the goal. His reactions were poor.

[Richard Walker]

That's a brilliant post from Eric. I missed the game yesterday in favour of 
Rockliffe Hall and Spa for the wife's birthday and even missed the first half. 
I was unlucky enough to catch the second half and have to say I thought we were 
shit. Kebe reminds me so much of Brian Deane , but not nearly as effective. I 
think he had been on the juice with Eric cos his coordination was awful. Surely 
Poleon is a better option than Stewart who again looked unfit to me. Diouf did 
more than most in his 10 minute spell although his arse looks to have grown.

So don't tell me we were good in the first half cos I don't believe you and 
anyone taking any positives from a 1-0 home defeat by bloody leicester is a 
fool.

Right, double egg, bacon, sausage, black pudding awaits.

Not sure  who you mean by the 'new big guy' - if you mean Smith who was banned

Re: [LU] Leicester

[Richard Naef]

regarding the 2 new signings, let's give them a chance, 2 games isn't really
a run and neither have been playing that much recently and when they were
they were playing in better teams, so give them a while to come down to our
level.

Although those of us actually at the game will only have views of limited
value compared with those who weren't there, nevertheless I'll press on.in
the context of what went before, and where we are in real football terms,
rather than history, this was a really good performance, the only tarnish on
the day was getting pulled by that sucker punch and losing the bloody game.
We had a structure, we had a passion and commitment, and no small invention
which given that our midfield was Austin and Brown was a real surprise. As a
reaction to Rochdale (I didn't see the Sheffield game) it was almost
everything I could have asked for. We dominated the league leaders for the
first half and should have had 3 or 4.

What ifs.

- if Ross had been in the form he was in 2 months ago - he is a confidence
player, and that has gone at the minute 
- if they hadn't been so well marshalled as to get two players back behind
the keeper to clear off the line twice
- if their CHalf hadn't been pulling down on Lees' arm as he went for that
header.so he was under the ball
- and if the ref had seen it.
- if our two new wingers had been remotely interested
- if the ref had booked two of their's early on for hauling back players
heading through on goal - he gave the free kicks so he saw the offences


Their goal came from three minor mistakes - first Pearce being suckered by
the dummy; then Lees moving in anticipation of Phillips taking the touch and
hence being a step away from Nugent; Kenny being back on his heels as the
whole thing unwound.all small things but they added up to the difference.

in the second half it was a more even game but that just meant we both had
chances to win it. Leicester will get promoted.


KENNY - not much to do in truth, they had a few blasts at goal and hit the
post, but he could't have done anything about them

BYRAM - don't want him at right back, but he gave structure and reading
other reports, apparently their winger Dyer is an in form danger man, and
the consensus seems to be that Sam was effective at snuffing him out

LEES - i maintain that he is our best defensive CHalf - he's not so hot on
the ball - but he needs a run in the team without constantly looking over
his shoulder - solid yesterday

PEARCE - a really solid game, brave and quick into challenges

WARNOCK - another v good LBack display (let's hope Pugh is now on his way to
Rotherham or Bury or anywhere)

the solidity of the back 4 was why Kenny had so little to do, and was
probably also helped by having Brown and Austin directly in front of them.
Both Byram and Warnock looked like they wanted to be overlapping fullbacks
but the invisibility of their respective wingers meant they had no-one to
link with.

BROWN  AUSTIN - got stuck in, made nuisances of themselves all over the
place, and occasionally popped up in attack - I don't pretend that this is
the future but it is an answer for right now - I'd still prefer to see Byram
and Mowatt flanking them, rather than 

KEBE  STEWART - who were chuffing mysteries to me yesterday - mainly absent
- Kebe particularly guilty of not making the runs and giving people options,
seem really disinterested

VARNEY - mobile, committed, with reasonable pace and won more in the air in
one game than Smith has managed all season long

McCORMACK - a striker of his quality should have had 3 in 30 minutes - v
disappointing - he bottled the one on one. Faded thereafter.


The subs came too late - but Peltier for Kebe on to push Byram forward made
sense.Diouf for Varney did not unless Varney was injured, the one to take
off was Stewart.

Heartening - but it is only one game - this is the level we expect now for
the next two home games, at least, with the addition of winning the bloody
things.

 he brought on Diouf and at the same time took off the lively Varney and
 brought on Peltier. I do not think the subs cost us the game but they did
 seem strange
 So all in all a great performance and we came very close to stopping the
 rot against the League Leaders. Having said that our performance was based
 on Varney playing out of his skin, Warnock looking good, Brown cleaning up
 and tidying everything in the middle of the park and Austin getting back to
 his best - can we rely on all or any of this in the future, who knows.
 Whatever the crowd of 23k was very appreciative of the effort and passion
 put forward by the team and showed that they are still 100% behind McDermott
 Whilst the play offs are slipping further and further away a couple of
 wins in our next two home games could really take the pressure off him
 So all in all a good performance and a bad result

Re: [LU] Leicester

[Dr Michael Benjamin]

The TO is the main problem.
But we cannot gloss over the free fall that we are in. The bad form of
Brian's acquisition. The chopping and changing in systems. Today's team was
virtually Warnock's plus two wingers who it's too early to judge.
All that is worrying.
We know that finalising the TO is essential.
That does not guarantee McDermott's continuation as manager.
As of late there are serious doubts.

 I have not seen the game on TV so everything I say is based on watching
 'live' and without the benefit of replays etc.
 I predicted 8 of the starting 11 - Warnock and Lees instead of my
 predicted Zalilkas and Pugh and then I had Murphy not Kebe.
 Whatever the changes etc we started and played in a manner not seen since
 the second half v Watford. We really went for it from the off and played
 with a passion and tempo not seen very often - if we do that every week
 then things will turn around and the fans will be happy.

 We did not deserve to get nothing from this game - the way we played and
 the chances we created meant that we deserved to have something positive to
 show for it at the end. Instead it was  a 'smash and grab' performance by
 top of the table Leicester - like many a successful team before them, they
 came, rode their luck and our bad finishing and then sneaked a winner at
 the end.
 We could have had 5 in the first half and really should have had 3.
 McCormack could have had a hat trick - he had a header that hit the post
 and a brilliant chip headed off the line, he then got a chance that he
 should have buried - a bad back pass led to him having the ball at his
 feet, under control in the middle of the goal , just behind the penalty
 spot and with no defenders near him - he could not have chosen a better
 chance but he delayed a bit and then hit a weak shot that Schmeical saved.
 The other 2 easy chances fell to Kebe who headed into the side netting and
 perhaps easiest of all a terrible corner by Warncock was headed back to him
 by the defender, his second cross was a belter and met by Lees who somehow
 put it over. At the other end they had one breakaway that led to a shot
 just wide and a long range shot that never troubled Kenny. In fact I don' t
 think Kenny made a save worthy of the name all game.
 We were in control with Austin back to his early season best, Varney like
 a man possessed and Warnock showing why Pugh should never play for us
 again.
 Having said that we all knew that we would live to rue the missed chances
 and so it proved
 The second half was a bit of a non event - neither side creating any clear
 cut chances but they snuffed out our attacks and took a bit of control of
 the game
 When Phillips came on we all thought he is going to steal a winner for
 them and we were almost right, a cross came into the box , Phillips dummied
 it and just when we thought we had got away with it the ball bobbled
 forward, Kenny seemed slow at claiming it and the Leicester player tapped
 it home
 Brian made an odd double sub, just before the goal taking off the tired
 looking Kebe , but instead of bringing on Poleon as an almost straight swap
 he brought on Diouf and at the same time took off the lively Varney and
 brought on Peltier. I do not think the subs cost us the game but they did
 seem strange
 So all in all a great performance and we came very close to stopping the
 rot against the League Leaders. Having said that our performance was based
 on Varney playing out of his skin, Warnock looking good, Brown cleaning up
 and tidying everything in the middle of the park and Austin getting back to
 his best - can we rely on all or any of this in the future, who knows.
 Whatever the crowd of 23k was very appreciative of the effort and passion
 put forward by the team and showed that they are still 100% behind McDermott
 Whilst the play offs are slipping further and further away a couple of
 wins in our next two home games could really take the pressure off him
 So all in all a good performance and a bad result

Re: [LU] Leicester

[nat...@sky.com]

Not sure what you are talking about |
Becchio would not have scored 2 of the chances that fell to Ross - he would not 
have scored the one on one, he would not have had the craft or guile to even 
attempt the chip. He may have scored the McCormack header and the same with the 
Kebe and Lees efforts , IF he had been in their position
Not sure  who you mean by the 'new big guy' - if you mean Smith who was banned 
today , he has 8 goals at a ratio of a goal a game, pretty much. Again not sure 
who MCC is - if you mean McCormack, yes his recent record is not great but he 
has 18 goals so far this season
If you are being sarcastic it is wasted on me on this occasion

 Well it was not an action packed, end to end game with lots of chances and
 goalmouth incident BUT it was 3 hard earned and deserved points on a
 TUESDAY and against the team currently lying in third.
 We got off to the perfect start, the ever impressive Byram ran at the full
 back and into the box where he was brought down - clear cut 100% penalty
 but a stupid tackle from the defender. Up stepped Lucy ah no Becky Oh - and
 he kept up his current penalty expertise as he hammered it into the side
 netting, a very good pen. In fact I thought Becchio had a good game and was
 robbed later on of a goal from open play. He was put through, looked onside
 and the flag stayed down, then after he rounded the keeper and was about
 top slot home the lino decided that he had better put his flag up and so it
 was chalked off. Becchio was involved a lot last night and was part of our
 best move when his cross was brilliantly met by the impressive Green who
 volleyed goalwards but Smichael (who is a c**t and so is his Dad, according
 to the song) pulled off a top class save.
 Chances were very much at a premium - I can remember another offside which
 stopped Diouf scoring - or maybe not since he ended up on the floor heading
 the ball whilst lying down and it trickled past the post -the whistle
 having already gone. Norris had a decent long range shot and Brown had the
 chance to close the game out with 10mins to go but his shot flashed wide.
 At the other end in the first half they had one shot from an impossible
 angle that flashed past the goal, and their forward sliced a shot wide when
 presented with a good chance.
 Second half they pressed more and we defended with a mixture of skill and
 determination coupled with desperation but I can only remember Paddy making
 one save when he tipped a long punt from Smecihal over the bar.
 So we held on and kept a clean sheet - according to Sky our first league
 victory on a Tuesday since the 4 0 win at Forest the day after Gary Speeds
 death. Yesterday was the anniversary and we had both a minutes applause and
 the 11mins chanting of his name on the 11th minute

 So a good performance and result - Thomas looked lively before being subbed
 on the hour . Tate looked cool and controlled at the back, and the addition
 of these 2 and the return of Green and Norris seemed to add urgency and
 tempo to the performance.
 We were first to the ball all over the pitch first half and although they
 came more into it 2nd half we never really looked like conceding. A few
 more results like the last two and the season is back on track

 So all in all a great night watched by a very low crowd - the new owners
 will need to address the reasons for that and quickly (I don't think an
 email from Pelts as received by some of my mates is the answer

 Roll on Hudds - I am sure Colin will have us up for the derby and 3 points
 are there for the taking

Re: [LU] Leicester

Yep, he rounded Scheichel with style and it was only after he had gone past
him that the ref blew so if no offside whistle he would have scored.
Like I said I think Becchio had a good game last night

Re: [LU] Leicester

[Richard Walker]

Dave,

We left at half- time as our own little protest against this shower of shite. 
There's no way I was going to clap a lap of honour led by Danny Pugh and his 
kid. What a joke.

So a miserable season finished with a miserable performance. When I think back 
to West Ham away, ok we didn't win due to some shite defending from O'Dea and 
an own goal from Paddy, but our play that day was dynamic - Howson and Clayton 
running midfield, Gradel and Snoddy bombing down the wings - West Ham couldn't 
handle us  Aidy White joining in and making it impossible for them. Up 
front , Keogh and Macca were lively. Keogh for me was a prospect , yes he 
wasn't scoring goals but he's shown recently he can score goals and to be 
honest it wasn't that important because he was providing for Macca who was on 
fire. Twice the player Becchio is.

So what were we left with yesterday ? Becchio and Macca up front. This was 
never, ever going to work. Becchio is slow - I still maintain I could beat him 
over 100 metres, and yesterday he showed exactly why he rarely looks to get 
beyond the opposition defence ... It's because when he's put in that position 
he is so totally and utterly exposed as to exactly what he is - slow, 
pedestrian, unskilful, no control and little natural ability. He is club footed 
and finds it difficult to get clean contact on the ball. A total waste of space 
and I heard that when he was subbed he behaved like a little kid. We need to 
get rid for next season. I know Colin has said he is an admirer but surely he 
must now know the reality.

So what other low points have we witnessed - O'Dea , never, never close to good 
enough.it was obvious as soon as he arrived at the club he wasn't up to it but 
yet we had to suffer him all season until Warnock finally binned him after 
another red card. When it comes to central defenders Grayson really hasn't a 
clue. Neil Collins anyone ?

Danny Pugh - wasn't good enough first time and certainly has shown he isn't 
this time. Lots of plaudits on this list thought he was providing stability , 
he didn't and was 500k wasted. Not good enough as a defender and no pace, 
creativity for midfield. Deffo gets the award for the best two footed tackle of 
the season. What an achievement.

Brown - over the hill.

Connolly - League One right back.

Any highlights ?

I think Tom Lees and Zac Thompson have a future and I think a fit Aidy White 
will work in this league. Yes, at times he has been lightweight but for me he 
was our best defender when he played a left back. Not quite the new Ryan Giggs 
but he's got a great future.


Beckford - everyone praising him yesterday. It made me sick. Desperately trying 
to show the Leeds fans he is Leeds through and through, not really trying 
whilst been paid thousands a week by his employees,almost willing to be subbed. 
Why did he leave Leeds then ? What a total joke.

Dave u missed 3 things:

Bradley Johnson got caught pissing about on the edge of his box for the first 
goal. He was terrible last night, his distribution is shocking and when he 
tries to beat his man when playing on the left it is laughable he's not good 
enough.

Becchio - missed yet another sitter in the first half. He's so painfully not 
good enough for this league. At least Grayson appears to be planning for his 
replacement. Remove the pace, control and skill of Watt and Sam up front and 
you're left with not much.

Collins - pedestrian at best. Accident waiting to happen.  .. And it did 
last night.

Could have been worse Higgs pulled off a great save second half when we were on 
the ropes. 

Trying to get a ticket for Barnsley it's bloody hard when you're a part timer. 
Barnsley only selling to people who have bought tickets off them before.

Re: [LU] Leicester

[Phill Shields]

Richard,

 

totally agree with you about Johnson and Collins. I cannot fathom why SG bought 
the latter. PNE did not want him so why do we? He was not good enough in 3rd 
division and yet we sign him. He and Naylor both got found out last night and 
between them have cost us about 5 goals this season already.

 

Steve Howard must have creamed his shorts last night with the easiest game he 
has had for ages. Neither Collins or Bruce could handle him and eventually both 
just left him unmarked to bring down the ball and spray it about. Johnson 
finished the game wearing the skipper's armband, what a joke. If Naylor, 
Collins and Johnson feature regularly this season we will be in a relegation 
battle. F*cking useless.

 

Let's be clear, Leicester are crap. We did not play particularly well last 
night but we were cruising until the 2  fckwits gave away the goals.

 

We need two centre halfs, a defensive midfielder and a striker. I am not having 
a pop at SG because if tranfer rumours are anything to go by he is looking to 
plug these gaps. He is clearly doing what he can with the budget he has been 
given but he should never have bought Collins.

 

As you can gather I am very pissed off last about last night!

 

Phill
