Absoletely cracking game.......don't like Leeds but hey they are moving with pace and energy......what a contrast to our 'performance' this afternoon. Lights years different. WHY cannot we move with such pacer when we are constantly told that is what we have!!
Are they the proverbial light years in front of us already?:hehe: I’m sure we beat them comfortably just a few weeks ago.....
Dislike both sides but this is a hell of a gameQuote:

I almost had a bet on Leeds this morning. 10-1.
Both defences have been terrible when I mean defending I mean as teams.
It makes the game more enjoyable but also in a straight shootout the team with better players will win
Loudest I’ve heard Liverpool fans during a game for many a long day.
Both defences are getting caught regularly, not good when it’s your team but makes for good viewing as a neutral. Lot of Premiership coaching staff will be watching the openness of the defences with interest, particularly Liverpool’s laxness.
3-3 incredible and well done Leeds for keeping at it and being brave.
How the hell did we take 4 points from Leeds last season? They've got some real quality.
This is a compelling game....I even would not mind if Leeds won it.....everything our game earlier was noty
They're playing well, but I wouldn't go that far.Quote:

And of course, I chose Mane over Salah for my fantasy team.Quote:

Leeds were very good at getting players in the opposition's box. We rarely, if ever, get many that far forward. It was an excellent game especially the first half.
hesgoal.com or kickofgoal.com....
Just watched this on MotD, jesus what a Leeds love in. The equalising goal- "and they've done it the Leeds way, playing from the goalkeeper from the back"
The keeper passed it to a defender who smacked it forward 60 yards :facepalm:
Sky weren't much better. At one point Martin Tyler told us what a special addition to the Premier League they will be referring several times to the Bielsa way.Quote:

This is what happened when they tanked 2 years ago. Towards the end of the season they just were knackered and compounded by the losses.
That was when they was pushing for promotion, maybe they can get enough points on the first half of the season to make sure they’re safe.
Interesting one. Phillips good player mind
Phillips an England player, Really?
Was always going to be a love in. I watched them at arsenal in the cup last season and they can definitely compete on their day.
Will have to see how they get on against some of the unfancied types, although if Sheffield United can finish top half then why not.
Something of note, Leeds shifted four goals and it probably should've been six. Bielsa probably thought it best, tactically, to go punch for punch with Liverpool. It'll be interesting to see if he replicates that tactic against lesser teams-I think that he probably will.
its a shame they both couldn't have lost really
It's one game. Leeds did well, but there's a long way to go. "The Leeds way" WTF is that? Their defending was awful, but the best part was that their £29M striker gave away the penalty that lost them the game.
I’m not being pedantic, but what are you talking about 🤣Quote:

Trying to figure out what word he meant. Pedestrian?Quote:

I really dislike Leeds (hate is probably too strong a word) but I can't help liking Bielsa.
His approach and system may have limitations - and may not stop relegation - but the focus on fitness, the 95 minute press, the attention to detail, trust in young players, the close personal coaching that turned a failing mid-table Championship squad into run away league leaders..... I would love to see just some of that at our club!
Sunderland yes, they probably would like to see them back in the top flight. The others - maybe not. I meant big clubs as in crowds, or reputation.Quote:

But I wouldn’t imagine the selfish ‘super clubs’ would relish a rejuvenated and cash rich Newcastle (their dodgy saviours were given short shrift) or Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday etc hitting a new owner jackpot and joining the party. Those top clubs are the John Cleese of the ‘I know my place’ sketch.
