Happy to sign Raphinha and Paqueta from this Brazil side.

Where is the Sweet prince? Bedwetting like crazy over here.

Exactly what i want in a signing. But yes, if the medical is on Friday i will be shitting myself for 2 days straight!

Liverpool rules.

Really wish we just stopped linking his shit articles. Weird man and couldnt care less about what he says.

Cornet 6, wood 3. Ben Mee 2. Burnleys top scorer today is a cb

Kavanagh should have just worn a Leeds shirt today. Gave them absolutely everything while we got nothing. Even if the penalty incident didnt happen I'd have been absolutely furious at him.

Don't think Murphy gives you much more either. Maybe a bit more pace and strength with worse end-product. All our options are pretty terrible for this position but cb/sm seems more urgent. A quality player on the right would be a fantastic upgrade though. I am a bit surprised about how poor Fraser's finishing and crossing has been since he became a starter though, he got plenty of assists at Bournemouth, seems to have lost a yard of pace too.

Have to disagree with that. Saint-Maximin isnt perfect and won't chase lost causes. But he should have had 2 assists this match if our midfield could finish. Putting him alongside Wood who had the ball bounce off him every time it was played to him is very harsh. I'll give it a go too! Dubs - 8 - huge save in the first half. Trippier - 7 Lascelles - 6, had a few wobbly moments Clark - 7, was too busy jumping around to notice him. Schar - 9, motm by far for me. so composed and didnt put a foot wrong in defense Dummett - 6 Manq - 8 Shelvey - 7 Longstaff - 8, ran from start to finish Willock - 6, shit in the first half but grew in to the game and ran until the 95th. I think he is a weak player in duels and so frustrating at times, but seems to need a lot of confidence to get going. Also pretty terrible end prodcut mostly Fraser - 5, runs and runs, but no end product, good understanding with trippier though. Maxi - 8, frustrating when he doesnt chase down, but should have had a penalty and also a few free-kicks in dangerous areas but the ref was playing for Leeds. Seems to be our only end-product, and Arguably both Fraser and especially Willock should have scored from his lay-offs. Wood - 6, Doesnt lack for effort and won some duels. Also fouled the opposition a few times and didnt have the best touch. Clearly not our end-game in the striker department.

Absolutely huge win, and so deserved. Schar was fantastic, Manquillo was terrific after he's come on and shut down Raphinha and brought us up the pitch. I feared the worst when Joelinton was taken off, but the whole midfield played well throughout, despite Wilock being mostly terrible in the first half he grew into the game. I would argue that this is the worst and most one-sided refereeing performance i've seen since the takeover though. No wonder how people are coming up with consipiracy theories. Any other team in the league would have gotten that penalty. Every time we got near their box they were allowed to foul us, or fall onto the ground so the ref could stop the play and give them a free kick. Overtime was Leeds, the co-commentator and the referee against Newcastle.

Maddison gets that 999 times out of a 1000

Jesus fucking christ. VAR is a joke

Absolutely furious at the referee here. Every 70:30 goes to Leeds even though they are at 30. Fabian Schar man of the match so far. Classy.

He was really getting into the game too. The only midfielder that brings us up the pitch.

Wood is so Burnley. Lets foul the opposition first and look for the ball later.

Dembele/Lingard type deals will go to the wire i expect. Selling clubs know they will leave for free in 6 months so the price will continuously drop as the selling club don't get what they want. In Dembele's case especially he is incredibly overpaid compared to what he offers taking injuries/form into account from what I've read. so the agent will want someone to "match" his wages this January i think. If his contract runs out he will be stuck having to get the highest wage another club will offer him. So i can see us possibly doing this deal if all he wants is money, im not too sure if its the best for us but depends on alternatives. Lingard on the other hand I would expect might wait until the summer for a premier league side unless we manage to turn him.

Jesus christ he's good. Get him back and sub him on for the last 20. Can't be worse than what we have coming on to make an impact.

Feel like Luke Edwards is just trying to be overly positive now cos he spent years being the previous regime's personal lapdog.

After watching a few youtube clips i really wish i didnt. He looks very tasty, a bit lanky and Henryesque. Not gonna get him now.

Krafth at left back for me. Then Manquillo until Lewis/new left back comes in. It aint perfect but it isnt Ritchie

Why's he taking the train? Covid you would have thought they could at least drive him up.

Nobody has looked at squad balance since Rafa left. 1 usable left back. 1 striker, 5 centrebacks. We often resort to using 4 wingers. Wood would be the kind of 3rd choice striker we'd bring in on a free, unfortunately we might have to bite the sour apple and pay up for someone like that. Even under pardew we usually had 4 strikers for Christ's sake.

Midfielder as well to play alongside Joelinton and Shelvey. I was begging for Longstaff to come off for Willock. After 10 minutes of Willock im begging for us to replace him with Jack Colback.

We really need a striker in this side.

The sound when Trippier touched the ball.
