I started writing a match report on Saturday but was depressing myself so binned it and hit the red wine.  I just couldn't get over the VAR disallowed goal and how VAR is destroying a game I love and have supported for 50 years. It's not just that VAR isn't providing the certainty it should,

Couldn't sleep last night as I reflected on what was in my opinion the best Leeds performance since the European games. It was that good and there's even an argument to say that the 2nd half was one of the best I've ever seen. Some statement but we were that good.  The way we attacked with pace

A tad pissed off after last night and not felt that for a while which is good. I thought Wolves played the perfect game, they defended en masse with 3 central defenders and despite us coming out of the tracks fast they never really looked in trouble demonstrated by the fact that their keeper

I think you might be right. At the moment he's playing Roberts for 45 mins, then Rodrigo for 45 mins. Maybe he's going to do the same with Costa and Raphinha ? On Tuesday, 6 October 2020, 12:27:54 BST, John Lee via Leedslist wrote: Maybe this is Bielsa acknowledging that a key part

What a game ! First 20 minutes we hardly had a kick and I thought there's a chance we could be embarrassed. Dallas was struggling defending at left back (he isn't) and Ayling was having a nightmare against the lively Sterling. I did however reassure myself with the fact that City had done

Tough, tight game which could have gone eiher way. They had the best chances but our keeper made 2 world class saves.  Overall, I thought we just edged it with some great attacking play in the 2nd half.  Miesler - 9. Superb saves. I worry a bit when he sticks to his line for corners.  Ayling -

I agree. Dallas has done fantastic at left back but at this level it's obvious he isn't a left back. The question is, if he doesn't play left back where does he play ? I think he's got to give Ayling a run for his money at right wing back. Ayling had a blinder against Liverpool but I thought

I just love the attitude by some on here but mainly on Twitter that Bielsa knows best and can do no wrong. In fact, if truth be told his management in last night's game was woeful and I'd put it right up there with some of Kevin Blackwell's finest.  The question is how do you replace Phillips ?

Defo should have played with Shack in midfield. Quit the fucking about with the defence. I mean which sort of lunatic starts with 3 at the back with Ayling as the central defender just because a central midfielder is not available. It’s incredible that somebody with  Bielsa’s ability could make
