Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd-4th Oct 2020]

[BaZ87]

Absolutely agree but also the way Everton will play this year as compared to the last 500 years since they last had any quality in 1987 will be ripe for picking apart by Liverpools front three. They may actually try to play some football in the derby instead of the usual tactics (which to be fair to them was their only option) and I think they will get over run. Not that there is shame in that, Liverpool will destroy just about anyone this season that tries to play football against them. I guess corona could change the game for any clubs though.

Ancelotti's not stupid, he's not going to set Everton up to play out of the back. They'll go direct into Calvert-Lewin and try to play off him.

We played Ancelotti's Napoli a few times in the CL and he always set them up to spoil the game vs us and more often than not it worked.

You'd think that, but our first 10 games last year "should" have been relatively straightforward and we went and lost 6 of them.

Ai that is true. You draw / lose today after Pickers does that last season.

 

[McBain]

Can’t say that hasn’t been coming... too many mistakes from Leeds.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Laporte really is huge for City, they play completely different with him in the back line.

 

[Andybtsn]

Goal against the run of play there

 

[omnomnom]

Mahrez should be booked there. No consistency again with refs.

 

[Andybtsn]

Argh. Should be 1-1.

Roberts for Rodrigo at half time. Nailed on.

 

[dacads]

Impressive from Leeds despite being one nil down, could easily have been 1-1

They should go far this season

 

[Purdy]

Gotta score that

 

[Robbo]

Leeds the better team after the first 20 mins.

 

[Andybtsn]

Gotta score that

Well he’s a right back on his left so not surprising he didn’t

 

[Ayahuasca]

Shame, that would have made the second half very interesting.

City have dropped right off the pace. Pep has to take Mendy off, looks nailed on for a red.

 

[McBain]

Don’t understand how Mendy keeps getting a game he offers little going forward and can’t defend. Why not give Ake a game there?

 

[Robbo]

Leeds dominating Man City now

 

[Purdy]

Nothing worse than your keeper flapping, always looks so bad

 

[McBain]

Lol Ederson

 

[Andybtsn]

That was an incredible save by Ederson

 

[adam cool dude]

Only thing we can hope for as a United fan is that Leeds are burnt out when we play them. I can honestly see them making Europe this season. I haven't seen a second tier side come up like this since Brian Clough's Forest.

You said we were going straight down

I’m just wanting 45 points and survival and build on that.

That's was just to wind you up. The whole ethos at Leeds United at the moment is absolutely fantastic.
