The great(?) thing about this years relegation fight and the number of teams in it is that no one has been dropped yet - even Southampton won't think 12th is ridiculous if they win a couple.

 

Do wonder if this might become a more common occurrence.

There aren't any terrible teams and even the ones you'd call bad aren't at the level of Sheffield United, Norwich etc of previous seasons.

Absolutely madness to let the guy bring in the USA starting midfield then sack him a week later! It’s crazy they have spent all that money as well and in my opinion worse then they were last season because Phillips glued them together. Now he is cheering on Man City from the stands every week and Leeds look like one of the worst technical premier league sides you will ever see and running will only get you so far. I do also find it funny the idea that the way to avoid relegation this year might be to bring back the guy that was going to get them relegated last year, that seems like classic Leeds to me but I actually don’t think it will happen.

We're proper shit, but this is miles off the mark as to why

take it you weren't a fan?

Seemed a decent guy and in isolation you'd say we're unlucky, see the game against you for instance. But we've had this every week for 4 5 months. All our chances are chaos and our players aren't good enough to score regularly when we're moving at 100mph. It doesn't work.

i think there's a very real chance of that. he was interested in everton and was also linked to bournemouth. clearly looking for a job

We won't go back in for him.

The board spoke at length about the issues having him brought to the club long term, they've burned that bridge now I think

If only we'd have played with more Clarity and Bravery

He looked decent against us but his league stats this season if include 6 games in Switzerland is just a goals and an assist in 13 games this season

Hardly an elite wonderkid at this stage

Well he made his debut against Liverpool, essentially created the winner. Assist against Bournemouth, goal West Ham, assist last week and two goals tonight. That's about 8 games in total and already a good return.

I think he'll be special

I thought they were alright, just something not clicking and missing

He's a clearing in the woods though ain't he, animated at everything for almost no reason

Interesting that the general take away on here is that 'were just not quite good enough'

We give away two very sloppy goals from mistakes, as we do every game but if we don't make those we've created enough chances to score 4 away.

Issue is always that these things seem like anomalies but they happen every game. Why we've committed so many people forward to a corner in the 3rd minute I'll never know.

Why has he got 15.5 games max?   What's the half game he's allowed to play?

He's already played that half game. So the most he'll be able to play is15.5 throughout this loan

Only team he plays well against, right?

Only team he plays against at this point

It would be absolutely awful if two of Tyrone Mings's studs found their way into his shinbone.

He prefers temples not shins doesn't he?

Bamford'll be fit for this, just in time to play against his favourite team

Yet they still have Ramsdale, Xhaka, Partey and of course the king bitch himself Mikel Arteta. All right rocket polishers.

Yeah you're not wrong but for whatever reason Guendouzi was deemed rotten to them.

Might be nothing, obviously but he comes with a reputation 

Doesn't he come with a bit of a shite attitude?

I'm personally at a point where the right mentality is the most important thing for a player these days.

He was part of Arsenal's decision to rid them self of the plague of dickheads they had

This fixture feels like the closest thing to a derby for us in the league

Lost its edge completely to me now. Both our promotion squads are essentially gone.

How are they not breaking FFP?! 

The more money you have to spend means the more available money you have to convince people you're not breaking FFP

Find your attitudes towards your players here funny

Were doing a bit worse than you but regardless of our thoughts on the manager we're all behind 99% of the players.

Exact reverse here, hate most the squad but like the manager.

Think I asked this question in a few forums but who was supposed to be playing CM for you today. From what I saw you had three CBs, Firpo who dosen't have a clue about positional sense so just runs up and down the pitch and then endless amount of attacking midfielders and strikers.

I assume Tyler Adams will be fit, he's had a very good season as I suspect. Rodrigo also seems to be playing much better under Marsch than Bielsa in terms of output.

Usually crazy games against you guys at VP, they'll be goals in this one aswell.

Greenwood and Gyabi, Firpo plays a free role from left back where he just roams about fouling people. Our defensive structure is weird because Firpo is so shit we've decided to play centre backs over him, its a bit City esque with a 4/3

It'll be Roca and Adams on Friday, we're such a mess that I've no idea how any game will go.

Beat Chelsea, Liverpool, should have beat Arsenal and Spurs. Humiliated by Fulham, Palace, Leicester, Brentford. Teams that avoid our press entirely ruin us, teams that play through us have a really hard time.

We're quite shit.

It's 'you shit bastard ha'

Want to say it comes from South American teams shouting 'Puta' on goal kicks. That's where I first heard it anyway

Probably a bit of a premature post, this one

That aged well

To be fair, he was shocking first half!

I posted it after the game.

I'm never bothered by City losses, they're essentially playing a different sport
