Leeds United 5-2 Newcastle United - 16/12/2020 - Postmatch reaction from page 18


Recommended Posts

I would love to be the defender to mark Joelinton.  Any ball high ball (bruceball) up to him he just can't be bothered.  He doesn't even make a nuisance of himself.  The defenders have it so easy with him.

 

 

Relentless. :lol:

Please just watch him.  It's infuriating.  Then you have Wilson chasing everything and competing for every ball, making the defenders life a misery.  That's what a forward should be doing.  Joelinton can't be arsed with all that.

Defensive formation and general defensive approach to each game, the thing I find most annoying has to be the passive attitude once we win possession. The players take two or three touches every time and then get closed down and end up hoofing it clear in desperation, so what should be a stage of us putting them under pressure invariably ends up with them coming at us instead. It's  maddening.

Weird you single him out, when that hasn’t actually really happened.

Only EVERY game it happens.  Perhaps you don't pay attention.  Not singling out at all.  Longstaff is shit, Lewis is awful and I'm bewildered at Murphy being right back/wingback.  Wilson and Clarke have been decent.  Oh and ....... Bruce hasn't got a fuckin clue!

442 is such a dead formation at this level man. It absolutely fries my brain that people still think 2 strikers means attacking football

 

We’re not playing that. We’re playing 4-5-1

 

Is that why Joelinton is just deeper than Wilson and we can’t get close to any of the Leeds players because of that flat line of midfielders across the pitch?

 

4-4-1-1 then. Joelinton’s nowhere near Wilson, who is completely isolated.

Bruce has been getting away with it because we have picked up results. A good beating might be the only way to put an end to this park the bus philosophy. Although he'd soon revert back to it after a loss anyway, it's clearly his preferred way of setting up whatever he says in public.
