[Robbo]

We can't be any worse than the previous game mid-week (hopefully).

 

[Droolinggimp]

still 0-0, happy days

 

[robfosters]

Ouch, that must have hurt

 

[JamesH85]

Leeds have started like a house on fire.

Just looking over some of the VAR decision this weekend. Decisions in Brighton and Arsenal game, absolutely shocking!!!!

 

[Calpol]

Not feeling this game.. Whats happened to Martinez? suspension? injury? Not managed to see pre match info.

It certainly looks like ten Hag is prioritising the Barcelona game which I find a bit odd. I'd rather secure top 4 and win a domestic cup then dream about beating Barca (which looks a long shot anyway). Formation looks designed to give Fred and Sabitzer protection .

 

[Converge]

Sabitzer protection from Fred more like.

 

[JamesH85]

You can tell Casemiro isn't playing.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Weghorst was on for a pass form Bruno there. Should be a goal

 

[Calpol]

Or Eriksen. We've weathered the initial storm and arguably should be one up with that shank from Bruno.

 

[md85]

This is terrible, how many times are Maguire and Shaw going to pass it to each other.

Elland road going a bit quiet now. Our midfield is non existent though. Not really seen much of Sabitzer that I like but it is early days and he does need time.

We are so slow getting out from the back which is of no surprise.

 

[Converge]

This is all a bit painful. Be great to see us having more than one midfield combination that can be relied upon in the new season

It's games like today you need Fernandes to play a different game, at least in the first 45. He plays like the gamebreaker all the time and it cedes possession too often. A bit of controlled possession settles the team down and quietens the crowd. Sabitzer needs time of course but so far he isn't offering more than McSauce would.

 

[Converge]

Jesus, Maguire…

 

[JamesH85]

LOL Maguire...... so lucky

 

[adam cool dude]

LOL Maguire...... so lucky

This is basically last year's lineup and it shows with all the rubbish at the back. Maguire showing nothing why he deserves to get back into the squad.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Feed the slab and he will snore.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Very careless and far too relaxed defending.

 

[Robbo]

With Casemiro we look like we can challenge for the title (not quite, but sort of).

Without, we look mid-table at best.

Annoying.

Even though your line up is weakened, I still always feel United are never out the game, still have enough to win this. Maguire just gives any fan the jitters.
