You would just instruct your team to get at Lewis if you were playing us. Guaranteed to get chances.

I don’t think Bruce’s tactics are particularly suited to playing against Bielsa-ball. 3-0 defeat.

Xhaka is such a fuck up. Straight red all day long.

Not seen much to suggest Havertz is going to live up to his price tag, but he apparently had rona pretty badly so he’s got a very valid excuse imo.

I just don’t get City’s approach here . Man U have barely tried to get out of their half this 45 and Pep’s just left his two DMs in there; relying solely on KdB to do some magic in order to create anything.

Pep is weird recently. Why has he got Rodri and Fernandinho playing in his midfield? They’ve got nothing on the ball.

Livescore has Ritchie in for Almiron. A Ritchie-Shelvey-Longstaff-Henrick midfield sounds hilarious.

I don’t get why Darlow vs Dubravka seems to be getting billed as a big “selection headache”. Dubravka is one of our best & most important players. Darlow... isn’t.

Phillips has been totally marked out of the game and Leeds have struggled to adapt. Surprised tbh.

Brought a tear, gotta say.

Did anyone expect these levels from him when he went to Spurs? It’s incredible.

What half decent team would actually want him after his performances over the last 18 months?

Flat out refused to float it to Williamson.

:lol: Gave him the number 9.

Just when I was starting to like him.

The fact he's played relatively few games in the last few years hopefully means he has a few good years left yet

Everton just allowed Phillips to run the game today. Strange tactics from Carlo.

I know he’s scored a few this season but it makes you wonder why Bielsa persists with Bamford really. He’s so wasteful.

If Leeds were clinical I’m pretty sure they’d be near top of the league. Mad they haven’t scored here and couldn’t against Arsenal either despite dominating.

Hodgson’s type of game innit. Today it’s more like putting a team out and just hoping for the best.

Hendrick stays on

Leeds' is shite like, but it still better than what they tried to change it to

There’ll be a couple of exceptions (ie Brighton this season, when he was injured) but he’s been at least 7/10 in every game in 2020 up until the last 3 imo. Often more, which is incredible in a Steve Bruce team. I don’t see the ‘once in a blue moon’ point at all tbh.

3 games playing out of position in the most turgid system imaginable and now people have decided ASM is overrated

Not saying you can read much into it, but I think it's telling the likes of Lascelles and Lejeune like practically all of Rafa's Instagram posts. Can imagine it was so much easier being a CB under Rafa compared to Bruce - they're clearly fond of him.
