Leeds United 0 - 1 Newcastle United (22/01/2022)

Even 1st half, Raphina looks the best player from both teams.

[Hanshithispantz]

Better end to the half. 

[Oregon_Geordie]

Murphy > Fraser for me.

[toontownman]

Obviously we are roasted on the break everytime but the defence has stayed organized and grown into the game. Likewise some of our attacking play has been reasonable. 

 

Same problems though with nothing offered in the box, players looking unfit an unable to run back. We lack SOO much to be in this league comfortably 

[Willow]

Poor but still in it miraculously

 

Get Murphy on for Fraser

After a shakey first 30 mins, I actually think we've done OK. Stifled them completely... we just lack any cutting edge.

Stifled them? What game are you watching? ?

[Guest]

That was promising tbh. Defended well and started becoming a threat towards the end. We could win this.

[Guest reefatoon]

Enjoyed that actually. Decent game.

I'll have some of what you are smoking

[Teasy]

Is there a new PL guideline for refs?  Chris Wood getting a chance equals a foul?

We grew into that towards the end of the half, anything before about 35 minutes was rank though. 

[LRD]

Decent for spells but players on different wavelengths again. These look like they just got together in the past month instead of playing together for years. How long do they need to get some cohesion going?

[LiquidAK]

Could go either way this - we look okay, which I guess is an improvement

Aye Fraser just looks like a solid 5/10 every week player now which is pointless for a winger. Murphy is capable of more at least

[McCormick]

Hoping this stays level and we get a last minute winner. I’ve no confidence in this team defending a lead.

[clintdempsey]

I don’t think this has been half bad. We were always going to be on the back foot at times due to their extreme fitness and tempo thanks to Bielsa’s work over many years. But to me it looks like we have a plan and we have threatened them at times. But since our players are turboshit (most of them anyways) it’s always going to look a bit off at times. I actually think we’ll win this.

Everything Willock does is so slow and laboured.

[Lenny]

No lack of effort even if we, as usual, look like we haven't a clue what to do when we have a sight of goal. Wood looked a little frustrated at times, we're not even remotely playing to his strengths. He's made the odd couple of nice knock-ons but we need to do more to use him.

 

Lascelles really is tragic and needs removing from the team immediately.

[nortoon]

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

[nufcnick]

Woohoo, we have signed another striker that couldn’t hit the floor if he fell on it

It wasn't as grim as many are making out on here and Jonjo had been robbed of a sure goal by their keeper. Some changes second half and we could win this, just hope they don't switch off.

[Holloway]

Fraser has lost something from his Bournemouth days,I'd hoy Murphy on at the hour mark

[Danh1]

Just seen a photo of the BMX 4 Sale banner in a pub down Leeds. Assume it’s in the away end, must confuse the home supporters.  

[joeyt]

I thought Trippier was quite poor that half

Aye, this was my thought as well. It’s like watching a bunch of strangers at times.
