I get the frustration about our slow passing tactics when we aren't scoring, but that goal today is EXACTLY what we should be trying to do. Keep possession for fucking ages, pass them to death and pull the defence around, see a gap and then SPEED UP: couple 1 or 2 touch passes and some forward runs. It was BEAUTIFUL.
We were the only team in the top EIGHT to win today. Two away wins over the dreaded Christmas period. 14 points to the bottom of the playoff places, 7 points to 4th looking like a proper 3 horse race, a 3 point gap to 3rd with a much better GD. It's looking alright this!
Hello 👋 gentlemen that was a statement win for me against Derby an old foe we should've been out of sight in the first half the Derby keeper was out standing he's going to be snapped up in the summer we had 17 shots 6 on target 🎯 9 corners and most of the play 🤩🙌. Big call for Daniel Farke to make 4 big changes last season we would've lost this match 😳. The ref for me was good he's an ex footballer so fair play to the ref 👏.Mr Meslier made two crucial saves to keep Leeds in the match the build up play to the goal was a team performance was sublime eventually an assist by Joel Piroe for Brenden to score a cracking goal 🙏 Joe Rodon and Mr Meslier ran to the 🧳 traveling Leeds fan's to celebrate with the fan's 🤩🙌Top of the league clean sheet absolutely buzzing thanks Leeds and Santa for a cracking Christmas ⛄🎄 present 🎁.We have played 24 matches so far 14clean sheets 🙏 thanks gentlemen good podcast as always marching on together we all love Leeds keep fighting all Leeds aren't we 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙

Well I said this a few weeks ago and lots of people disagreed. Arronson was fantastic again, and Solomon too. The intricate passing around the edge of the box is now at a level we haven't seen before.
Something I noted last year as well. Although Rutter was excellent at times, he lost the ball numerous times just inside our own half, causing us continual problems. Although we dont have those moments on genius from him, we also dont have the multiple times he cost us goals from his turnovers. Personally, I believe this team is better without him, and we got some good money for him too.
The team this season is better than last year all the players contributing to the goals not relying on Summerville and Rutter or playing the ball to Summerville to score or work his magic 🪄 whole team playing for each other it's not about one individual like Summerville who could be selfish can remember when he snatched the ball out of Joel Piroes hand ✋ to take the penalty when Joel Piroe is the first choice penalty taker if he's on the park 🏞️ if Summerville had missed he would of😂looked a right tit. Joel Piroe the look on his face wasn't good for me Summerville shouldn't of done what he did but that was last year this season the team all playing for each other NO big ego's M.O.T🦚🇮🇨👊
Thought Gnonto was unplayable in that first half, some of his passing was great, still think there's a case for playing him in the 10 over Aaronson (who don't get me wrong was also very good today).
Gnonto is certainly an option at 10, but what you might gain in composure, you lose in workrate. It’s a squad game though and we cant burn Aaronson out running his long distances every game.
The main problem with rotation is the consequences of failure. It sows seeds of doubt in the coach's mind. Players may begin to question themselves too. I recall SG fiddling with the side in 2009 (?), disturbing a.working midfield with 2 loan players. Admittedly the situation now is a little different (the draftees are squad members? Still absent info on knocks and "tiredness", the old adage still applies, don't potentially weaken a side for no obvious reason.
Villain of the week is Dan for persistently counting the 4 dropped points from Portsmouth and Sunderland. It was embarrassing initially but now it's just tinpot stuff.
Joseph is a youth player U23 level isn't all that great if Joseph is failing to score at low end Championship level he shouldn't be in the team loan the lad out revisit in 18 months time in Jan Sign a proper #9 who will hit the ground running and a #10 this will win the league for us I'd love a GK to as either way we will 10000000% need a new GK once back in the Prem Mess has to be replaced other wise very happy with the team and manager 😊....MOT
The result yesterday does not justify rotation. The line to rotate is when there is little if any risk attached. Normally you should play your best available team. Teams flourish best when eleven players know each other inside out. This requires permanency of selection policy. Also we now need to accumulate points as an insurance against the 4 tough (on paper) away games against top 7 opposition we have yet to play (Sheffield, Burnley, Watford, 'Boro).
Can't argue with the results but it's still frustrating to see Farke wait until the same 70 mins every week when it's clear some earlier changes are needed. It hasn't always worked and I think it's a major problem if he's to manage in the Prem should we make it.
Who are we to criticise the timing of his subs? We have the most goals from subs in the league and we're sitting pretty at the top of the league. Whatever he's doing it's working.
The Refs in this league are dog awful can not wait to leave this grave yard of a league behind once we win the league this season.....great as all ways lads .....MOT
Aaronson deserves tremendous credit for that goal. He started way out and made a brilliantly timed run. Watch it back and notice his movement.

3 horse race?? There are 22 games to go ffs!!
As usual, an enjoyable listen.
Happy New Year to you all, MOT 🤗
Rotation in midfield offers some interesting new possibilities. Exciting times.

Man of the match their keeper
Well I said this a few weeks ago and lots of people disagreed. Arronson was fantastic again, and Solomon too. The intricate passing around the edge of the box is now at a level we haven't seen before.
What?? Aaronson is missing chance after chance every game. Yes, he scored bit more trough luck than good judgement. Wouldn’t be missed if we sold him.
I thought he deserved MOTM today to be fair and I do get pretty hacked off with him at times. He has played well the last 2 games
Thanks guys for all your hard work and entertainment. Always look forward to listening to you. A Happy New Year to you all 😊👍

Aaronsson has had an excellent season
Gnonto is certainly an option at 10, but what you might gain in composure, you lose in workrate. It’s a squad game though and we cant burn Aaronson out running his long distances every game.
The Brendan Aaronson redemption arc is complete, I'd say.
Only truly complete in May, in my opinion.
There’s still more to come from him, that’s why he can be so frustrating.

I apologize for ever doubting you and calling you a tumbleweed, Brenden
Leeds a better team than last year
No negativity which came from I player that left
Villain of the week is Dan for persistently counting the 4 dropped points from Portsmouth and Sunderland. It was embarrassing initially but now it's just tinpot stuff.
First club in Europe to reach 50 points this season. 👊
big fan of the new graphics !

Are you guys playing who can say "stodgy" the most? 😂
Are these sped up? Why?

How is that relevant right now ?
It will be the new owners and management that will dictate how we do if we go up
Why are you talking so fast all of a sudden? 😅
They were in a hurry to go out and get plastered 😉

Just look at the results. AFTER selling some great players. In Farke I trust!
