Well a slightly better performance from Leeds last night . More energy all around. Ba looked back to his buzzy self. I know he is no 10 and he is a bit wasteful but his work in winning the ball back and supporting the midfield is invaluable for the team.
The disallowed goal was disappointing because it was such a good move and link up play. Definitely no advantage or benefit of the doubt given to the striker.
As with last week's penalty call do we think var next year will be a good thing? .
I for one do think var has improved.
I think the waits for decisions needs looking at but it is going in the right direction.

So what a game. After the jubilation of last Monday to do it again this week was amazing.
Leeds looked nervous first 20 mins and mes showed his worst side again.
We were a bit wasteful first half . Getting into good position and in behind their defence. Much more than we did against Sunderland only to hit the first man or keeper.
In truth Sheffield could have been 2-3 up after the first half but so could Leeds.
Their goal was not a goal keeper error the cross should have been blocked from coming in. Plus ohare ran in behind rodon.
Mes will be a cracking keeper one day but I don't think leeds can wait until he is.
Piroe had a good contribution but only when he moved to 10. As a nine he was limited to a half dozen touches in the first half. Number 9 would be the top of my shopping list.
Firpo had a good game but Sheffields full back kept letting firpo run past him and their young lad on the right was very poor. Thought firpo might have had his hands full defending.
But what a header from firpo a right bullet nut!
And then there is AO. What a bargain. He looks as he has played in England from years. He has not been overrun or looked out of place once. He always looks as he has an hour to play any ball. Not since batty have I seen a player that can be in a melee of players and pop out with the ball. Look forward to seeing him in the prem.
It in Leeds hands now. We have played all around us and our run in is arguably easier than the rest. 2 points a game. Premiership here we come.

Good honest post Ben.

Excellent post WB.

?????? Ben. Nowt to argue with or discuss there!

Brilliant end to a frustrating game. We played ok in the first half but no penetration. Piroe played well but only dropping deep and aaronson struggled against the strong Sunderland defenders.
Amps made a mistake by trying to win the ball for their goal. As warnock said. Midfielder playing at centre half!
Why is struijk our only player that can attack a cross?
On to the bigger game on Monday.

Rodon is atrocious at attacking set pieces. Woeful. I’m always baffled why he seems to be organising it!?

I had a dream last night that a leeds player would get a hatrick today. It was close but I've just seen wood do it for forest.
If we could have a player back wood or raph which would you choose?
I would have wood at the mo given our lack of a true 9.
Mind you I think raph could play with a blindfold and tied to a concrete block and still be the best on the park at the moment.
Didn't see the game the stream didn't work. Gutted after the dull fest of Mon.

Good post Melbourne. No zip about our play yesterday. Aaronson looks a bit lost at the moment. We did enough for a win. No one particularly played well . A bit of rotation is needed now. Freshen things up. Df has used his most experienced players to get us into this position and over the tricky games but it looked like they had run out of steam a bit on Sunday.

Ed I am aware that the drinking culture was still at man u at those times it was just fergie controlled it so it didn't effect the team as much.

I think the drinking culture at Liverpool in James' time was legendary. So many players of that era could and should have been greater than they were.
Hull had Tony 'bonus' Warner from Liverpool for a season. Him and a injured bullard were always in the pubs around the city.
A good reason man u were so dominant was the other teams were a bit wayward.
Fergie would have got rid of those players if they were his.
But we will see what becomes of mes and junior and maybe a few more players in a few months time.
I think op you are bringing sentiment and what is fair and what should happen above what will happen.
This is a multi million pound organisation with the 49ers at the helm.
They will not be messing around if we go up. They will not be gambling on anything it will be a bit of a cut throat time. If leeds don't succeed it will cost them profit.
Bielsa wanted to over haul the team when he went up. We need to do that in a dozen games time. I cannot imagine the same mistake happening again.
{Ed001's Note - you do realise the Liverpool players were in the same clubs most of the time as Fergie's players? United still had a drinking culture, it was just that the manager had the ultimate power there, whereas at Liverpool the players still had most of the power.}

I'm sure farke after his time back in Germany has a few options for us.
Like AO and gruev he had had them on his radar for a while.
Unlike his time at Norwich he knows if or when we go up there will be a war chest for the manager to stay up .
