Froggy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I don't disagree that Wolves were happy with a draw but you were playing against pretty much their reserve team and could barely create a chance. Draw would have been the fair result imo Reserve team. Missing what, two/three starters? We also rested Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Martial and Lindelof was injured. Golden chances from Bruno and Martial both of which should have been buried. Draw a fair result if you think parking the bus warrants a result. I personally don't.

joeyt Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Jimenez, Dendonker, Boly, Jonny, Semedo, Marcal plus Podence only came on as sub. They didn't park the bus all game at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Embarrassing to mention that then, given that they were either headers right at the keeper or shots from outside the box, right at the keeper. Best chances by far were ours. Not even sure you could say Wolves had a chance. Either way. 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Don't have any other stats to provide more context but thought it was interesting that was the latest winning goal for Man Utd at Old Trafford for 11 years. Maybe don't score as many late goals as made out. Generally speaking this just again demonstrates what a poor league it is so far. Can play shite for large parts of a lot of games and be a couple of points off top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Was just looking to see how Ryan Gauld is doing these days. 25 now but seems to have found his ‘home’ at Farense. 4 goals & 4 assists in first 11 games in Portuguese top flight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can play shite for large parts of a lot of games and be a couple of points off top. A tad harsh that at the same time. Since we lost to Arsenal two months ago we've went unbeaten and picked up 23 points from 27 available. Played 9, won 7 and scored 22 goals. We have started some games poorly but have come into them and blew the opposition away with fantastic attacking play. I think people have been spoiled because of just how good Liverpool and City have been the last couple of years. Liverpool are sitting top of the table after 15 games having won 9, drawn 5 and losing only once. That's not poor at all IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I’m going to be that person on this issue. Is the reaction to the Leeds tweet particularly outrageous because it’s a female pundit? And if that is the case should female pundits be given more protection so to speak given the difficulty in establishing a female voice in the male game? It’s a particularly stupid statement mind but nothing that isn’t eclipsed by Merson and that lot every weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been shite for a lot of games this season and are 3pts off top. just think it's been a poor standard generally this season, perhaps understandably.

samptime29 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Mistake putting her up to be slated like. The 'punditry' is Garth Crooks level of stupidity mind. She worded it poorly with the "promoted because of Covid" but there is logic to her point. The 18/19 season: last 9 games, 3 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses = 10 points 19/20 season: last 9 games (after lockdown), 7 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss = 22 points Again, I still think Leeds would've been promoted, but it's a dash naive to think the lockdown didn't help a high energy, high pressing football team.

Shearergol Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's not exactly the first time a pundit has been called out this season, not even the first time Leeds have done it. Fair play to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inefficient running and pressure can create space for counter attacking, and that's a place you can defo hurt Leeds tbf. Again, she worded it poorly, but a bit shocked how most are just dismissing her point like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might well have but they can still be extremely mentally fatigued and making poor decisions based on body tiredness while still covering a shit load of ground. Yep, good point.
