| Leeds - not really as great as they think they are 22:44 - Aug 21 with 8929 views | Magic_Michu |
Having read the Leeds forums, listened to their fans on TalkShite and heard them in and around the ground tonight you would have thought they were the Barcelona of the championship.
When really, you press them slightly and they turn to sh*t and we’re played off the park by a threadbare Swansea team made up of inexperienced kids.
Don’t take anything away from the way we played tonight... best I’ve seen us playing for years.
But it’s time the scrawny little loud mouth Leeds boys were brought down a peg or two. |  |

Leeds were full of themselves every season without the added media circus about Bielsa
I thought they were a good team but Potter looked like he out thought the genius a few times tonight. Our centre half’s carrying the ball through their non existent cover was well thought out [Post edited 21 Aug 2018 22:50]

Best we played for years but still Leeds got a point against us.

I was impressed with Leeds tonight. |  |

I wasn't. They should have rolled us over easy. More entitled than our six fingered cousins up the road.
They really weren't very good and they're unlikely to get better. Won't last the pace. |  |

Fair play to them for maintaining the same approach all game... they persisted even though they continually were getting caught out. | |

I'm not really a "loud mouth Leeds fan".
Can admit when we dont play well and arent the better side.
But we had an 18 year old midfielder at right back, a 21 year old with less then 20 league matches to his name in goal, and two right backs at cb.
Yet we came back twice to draw despite that being your "best performance for years".
So on balance id say we are quite entitled to be pleased and some of our football has been top class, thats not arrogance its purely fact.
Good luck for the rest of the season. |  | | |

Excuses, excuses, excuses.
In case you hadn't realised we've had our team ripped apart and replaced with a bunch of kids who don't even know each other.
Poor from you I'm afraid. It doesn't bode well. | |

You think you’ve got problems.
A keeper who’s just had his first 2 full senior games, a 20 year old at cb playing his 3rd senior game, an average age I believe of 22, only one fit centre forward and no cover at CB. | | | |

I think even the most one eyed Swansea fan can see you're on to a good thing this season. Didn't think you played that well tonight but you done enough to come away with a draw. |  | | |

2 very experienced players, Naughton and Olsson at full back cost 9mil between them
£2mil cb-
Another 5 or 6mil on Leroy Fer (MOTM imo, class).
Celina and McKay who both showed they are good at this level last season.
McBurnie who scored well last season in a poor side.
Montero ffs on the bench.
Your hardly scraping the barrel lol.
Cant judge us on one game tbf, you were worse vs Birmingham then we were tonight. | | | |

I thought Leeds were poor and can't understand how they won their first 3 matches. Yes they came back twice, but from mistakes by us. They didn't look quality and my god they lack height.
Not sour grapes as I would have taken a point before the start. |  | | |

I think Leeds (as well as us probably without more signings) are likely to fizzle out. Bielsas getting a tune out of what is mostly the same squad as they had last season that didn't pull up any trees at the moment, but I have my doubts whether can keep it up. Next season when Bielsa can bring in his own players to fully suit his style they'll be a real force. Unless El Loco walks out by Xmas and they implode as a club again. |  |

We didnt, you pressed us and think that rocked us, our lack of height and muscle has worried me for a while, Fer was dominant in midfield and McBurnie bullied our undersized cbs.
Not making excuses but i thought our pressing was labourerd, wonder if the same line up as Saturday was a step to far.
Credit to you, best team we have played so far. | | | |

Fvck me leeds think they are something,ffs they have only played 4 effing games
They looked good but still couldnt break us down
Aa has been said we have a side that have only been playing together a month whilst they have a settled squad
Thry like every team will have a dip and will get their cummupence
Touch wood we will get the players we obviously need to strengthen and after tonight im far more confident than after friday

Can understand your view, we did look poor and undersized today and Swansea deserves credit.
Tbf to our fans, some may come across as arrogant or whatever but people dont have to take our word for how well we have played.
Ask our opposition, Stoke and Derby fans have both said that we played them totally off the park and it was a quality of football they hadn't seen for some time (Stoke fans said outside of the top prem teams).
While it will come across as arrogant if a Leeds fan says it, if an opposition fan says it there must be merit? | | | |

Never our best performance for years.
So many kids on show for us.
You looked good and if we both maintain that form we will both be in the mix.
But best for years. Fck no. |  |

I agree i dont think our squad is a top 2 squad by any stretch.
There are players in our starting 11 who shouldn't be there imo, our good start hasnt changed that.
We are already suffering with injuries, no fit cbs, only 1 defensive midfielder, and he is an average championship midfielder at best (subbed 1st half ).
We have the makings of a good side, but we require 2 or 3 top class loans at least. | | | |

Just repeating what was written mate.
Dont think your squad is as weak as was made out, 2 very experienced full backs, 3 proven decent Championship attacking midfielders, a young but already proven goalscorer in the league, Leroy Fer and Jefferson Montero.
Id say you have one of the better squads, but like us probably lacking in key areas.
Dont think we looked good tbf lol we showed character though, worst performance so far but came away with something, happy enough.
Agree on the if we both continue, but do either of us have the depth? | | | |

You make fair comments.
I think you will have a good season , was always going to be a risky appointment in Bielsa, so far a master stroke. It will take a big personality to manage the expectations of the supporters and he is the ideal man.
I've never been keen on Leeds to say the least, however, if there's a set of supporters that deserve PL football it's Leeds. |  |

I don’t think either side has a good enough squad at present. Ours is paper thin in key areas.
Unless we both strengthen, playing Saturday and midweek will take its toll through injuries, tiredness, loss of form or suspension. | | | |
