Lush Vlad Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Not played badly bar the odd bit of sloppy defending from the midfield. So wasteful on the counter and when in behind, though. Wood and Willock should be doing a lot better when they got in. Get ASM on at half time for Longstaff and then however long Wilson has in him. Got so much space out wide and over the top. Yet we haven’t got any meaningful shots on target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 On the USA commentary I don't think I heard Langstaff's name mentioned once. I honestly had to check the team sheet to make sure he was playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubling up on Almiron and Joelinton and Wood aren't quick enough. Hopefully second half we can get Wilson and ASM on Been saying this for weeks - it’s great our right and almiron is doing so well but it’s always worrying relying on one area. We do need to get ASM into these type of games and get more threat down the left as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Leeds are always a tough game. Hoping we can push on 2nd half, going down the hill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yeah, Longstaff has been really quiet. We need him to step up when Bruno is being so tightly marked. But he hasn’t been seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 That Gnonto lad is doing a fantastic job at nullifying our right side with his energy. There's no space for Bruno to get on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Dunno how we haven't got a least 2 goals in that half like. Need to get Wilson and ASM on soon in the second half to put some of these chances into the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have praised Wood of late but we do get timely reminders of how much of a fucking plank he is in front of goal. Plus, I think we"re starting to look a bit predictable down the right hand side Which ironically, has meant this game. We have had acres down the left. Resulting in Joelinton running straight into a Leeds player at least 5 times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Just now, Super Duper Branko Strupar said: Webb said this recently - "We don't want the VARs to be looking too hard. We want them just to look for those errors that jump off the screen at you." Guessing that'd be the explanation for why ours wasnt given. It better be exactly the same for all other incidents of a similar nature though. The implementation of VAR in this country is awful like. They've gone from correcting everything to a ridiculous degree to now pretty much nothing - is it that difficult to find a good balance? It shouldn't be.

mighty__mag Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Bruno doesn't affect the game in the same way when he's not paired up with Joelinton, ASM in for Longstaff and Joelinton in the middle for me, also Wood doesn't seem to be in the game much, I'd like Wilson to come on at some point, our strongest 11 surely doesn't feature Wood and Longstaff, but does feature Wilson and ASM, unless Eddie is looking past Leeds and thinking about Arsenal. I'd also ad fairly, Leeds have been determined and are coping well, they do look like they could get a result here if we dont stay switched on.

Shak Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 You can see the need today for someone other than Bruno in midfield who can pick a pass. Hopefully won't have to wait long for Wilson and ASM in the second half, the current eleven don't look much like scoring outside of a set piece IMO.

King HTT III Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Pretty dominant in possession, but our final ball has been poor. Wood none existent, really poor game from him. Again we struggle against a team that just sits back, we badly need a Maddison type playmaker, Bruno well off it too. I worry if they sneak one they will just defend and defend, we need a goal, get one and it could open the game up for more as we are all over them. Very disappointed with Leeds. Just kick and rush football, but it’s up to us to break them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It is possible to have a good season and a poor half at the same time. Just because we've been class overall doesn't make Wood any less poor or the absence of ASM any less frustrating.

Barnes23 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We've been poor in general play IMO, agree that Leeds pressing game + focus on nullifying our right hand side has blunted us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
