Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [11th - 14th Sep 2020]

Terrific entertainment to open the season with, wish we had crowds for that extra oomph, but I couldnt have asked for more for the beers and match to celebrate the first game.
 
He was blocked both times? The handball took a deflection.

His arm should never be in that position in that situation, deflection or not.

The VVD goal he lost him, didn't see a block personally.

Third one yeah he was blocked but you could see he was all over the place and had lost him (again). Had he not been blocked he's not getting back in.

Edit: Plenty of positives for Leeds to take out of the game but their defending at set pieces in particular isn't one of them.

Liverpool certainly guilty of taking Leeds lightly, so casual at times and it showed with the Leeds press, gave away the ball far too often and the poor shooting decisions rather than giving to the free man

Leeds if they can keep this up (and and it;s not just game raising for last seasons champions) will not only be fine but look to finish easily top 10

Really don't think Klopp would've underestimated them, just think Bielsa would've done his homework and known to attack the space behind our fullbacks and to press us which is what they kept doing.
 
Zomg Liverpool have been given the most penalties out of all the teams so far

Zomg Liverpool needed two pens to beat a championship level team

Zomg Liver-pen-pool

I’m pretty sure Leeds will butt **** Man United :-/
 
Not too dissimilar a performance to that of the opening day last season vs Norwich, only difference being Leeds are much better than Norwich. In fact most our opening day games under Klopp have been mental - 4-3 vs Arsenal and 3-3 vs Watford too. As good as we've been defensively over the last few seasons, the way we play means that if we're not 100% at it then we can be got at and that was very much the case today and is often the way after a break. We're a side that needs a few games to get going and facing a very energetic, well organised team like Leeds, that were brave enough to play against us was always going to cause us a few problems. Thankfully our attack looked very sharp and we could have easily scored a couple more goals than we did.

2 more per game for the rest of the season and we'll have had as many as Utd last season :p
 
Liverpool needs players coming in to bring the competition back. It all seems a little lack luster from them. Leeds were hard done by and Liverpool were let off by Leeds mistakes at the back.

Leeds done well and caused us some problems but we still massively dominated the game. 25 attempts to their 7 (22-6 on target), with our xg at 3.15 to their 0.27. Leeds were just very clinical with the few chances they had.

Always twisting stats to what makes Liverpool look best. Liverpool are so far off what they have been pre lockdown. Please remember this is a newly promoted side we are talking about here who were also playing away. How many times pre lock down were Liverpool beat in possession? Not many.
