The Footie Thread

Wether Kane and Sterling are the best we have we just won’t know,it seems Gareth has cemented them in and just changes one or 2 others,Foden and Saka for example.
I believe Foden was dropped for one significant reason and that’s his drive to chase everything down,sometimes headless where he will run from the half way line straight to their keeper leaving us exposed.
Gareth doesn’t want that he wants shape and discipline and Foden will need to do that.
Also his tactics have been questioned all over SM for example playing 7 defensive players.
So far he has got it right and I can’t see wholesale changes to suit the public or German media.
We certainly differ over Sterling because without his goals so far we’re out.
Wether Sancho or Bellingham or Grealish starting we would have the same results we are never going to know.

That’s the point, Ukraine is that opportunity. But trotting out Kane and Sterling for 90mins every 4 days isn’t sustainable.. Kane was already quite static, and Sterling well I have said enough on the matter .. but we have strength and depth and that should be used to our advantage and also get more experience.

Hahaha........ & would have done decades ago with Cloughie if the 'end of the line' players hadn't been bigger than the Club.
Beilsa is the new 'Cloughie' & may well take the team to similar places....... Beilsa's Leeds is well worth watching... like all good coaches he backs his players if they are accepting of his methods & that he is 'The Boss'!!

However Cloughie did not take them very far. he lasted 44 days!

And all because players were allowed to be bigger than the Club.... very much their loss.

It's not the 80s anymore. I was happy to see them return to the Premier League as they were gone too long. But they're still just another game.

An easy 6 points ?

You are aware that there are 11 players on each team and football is a team game where they all work together really well… I mean we have seen a collection of super stars being beaten by a team on more than one occasion during this Euros ..
Occasional input means exactly that … he is wandering round the park most the time looking at the grass .. Thiago does that for Spain …

Lampard made a career out of it?

Leeds fans I follow on Twitter seem to love the fact that people “hate” them.
When in reality I don’t think many opposition fans do.

The Millwall of the North? ???

 

[Tashyboy]

We hate the fact that no one seems to hate us anymore. ?

I've had loads of people (through gritted teeth) tell me they've enjoyed watching Leeds in the PL. It just doesn't feel right.

We are the antidote to stale try not to lose football.

Try being a fan of everyone’s second favourite team. Well we were when we were losing every other week. Then sheik Mansoor pumped In a few billion And were public enemy number one. It’s like every City fan has stolen a dummy off a baby. ?

First chance of me analogy of the game Last night. Have we really got out of second gear. A boring 0-0 against Scotland and we’re easing into the tournament.
Last night Sterling reminded me of Pogba the night before. He scores a winner and then gets robbed on the half way line and that’s the equaliser.
Sterling scores and plays the best pass of the night to a German player. He/ we got away with a massive one there. He knew it, the whole of Germany knew it, he was on his knees. Both players showed why They are both questionable For both England and France and City and Utd.
We are through to the quarters and I am bored out of my mind watching England.
Harry Kane, where do you start. His movement has been shocking. One for the Spurs fans. Is he always that slow.
England last night were Rammel, Germany were Rammeler. They have massive problems.

Utter rubbish Tashyboy, go wash your mouth out?

?? my mates a season ticket holder & he likes to think everyone hates you.

I like to point out you were a lot of peoples 2nd club last season ?

Did you actually have any dull games last season?

I don't recall a dull game. I do recall a few awful performances though. But most games were exciting. Probably more exciting than I'd ideally like at times ?

 

[Kellfire]

Spurs finally have a manager!

Don't worry. I am fully enjoying Bielsa Ball as I know it won't last forever.

The dog botherers (Huddersfield) are absolutely one of our biggest rivals. Not sure where you get Barnsley from ?‍

Every ManU fan I know was frothing at the gills when we got to play against them again. There is history and a rivalry there.

Be honest, everyone loves playing dirty Leeds. Its a cup final for most teams. Regardless of what division we are in.

??

It maybe for the Sheffield clubs and Bradford but i don’t expect it’s a cup final for any of the top teams

Tbf tho mate if you’d tried to play safe & dull you’d have been in a dog fight to stop up all season.

He did but he has one of the best scoring records for a midfielder in the premiership… he also struggled to have a regular place in the England squad

Didn’t he have the problem that the best England player at the time, Gerrard, was playing his position?

Apparently yes … or was it a case of names being preferred

He might get a game now he’s at a big club.
