No it doesn’t it’s called building a squad

Not a chance is he Adama Traoré joining Leeds.

Your almost describing Jose there too. Set up to play for a draw

Thought he played reasonably well on Friday unfortunately at 20 I think he and all the other 20/21 year old that played looked a million miles away from being ready for premier league football in my view. Where as i thought the likes of Barry and Hayden Kessler looked like they could play minutes already and sylla to be fair to him. I always worry when a 20 year old isn’t banging the door down to the first team.

I prefer to think of them as football tourists. Must Utd “fans” these days are like Liverpool fans in the 80’s they supported the side that wins the league every year and now they are a mix of not liking the idea of supporting a failing team and belief that Utd have a devine right to be top of the league and pick any player they like. They don’t really understand football Just the little Utd bubble they live in. Probably the type that wanted VAR because the only thing that matters is the right decision not the entertainment

I personally hate the idea of VAR. not sure what was wrong before hand. All that’s happened is shit refs have admitted they are shit and then used there shitness to completely ruin the game. At least before you could moan after a game about the ref and move on now I spend more time being pissed off that VAR exists. Given that it was meant to be there for clear and obvious errors why can’t they say right you get one more look on the tv at normal speed because the game happens in normal speed not slow motion and if you can’t decide after that go with the original decision. Or scrap it completely because I think the sport was ok before 2 years ago ???

Just on this “big 6” who are they exactly? Are arsenal in their ? Given current status. Spurs surely chat be classed as big 6 because they never win anything and haven’t for 30 plus years. I assume Leicester are in there as recent league winners ? Does anyone actually know

Usual lazy journalism as play again today I see. Jack is a brilliant player and playing well so he would of course want to give up being captain of his boyhood club to move to Manchester

And how long before the top 4 teams in the super league want to stop the teams below threatening there dominance and then you have the same issue within the European league as exists in all the other leagues. I know Asian supporters put money into the league but should they really influence the English league? No they shouldn’t but they will.

I agree the USA sports set up is designed to be prosperous for all and they do all make a lot of money and part of the reason for that is not dulling down the leagues with the same rich teams winning everything and diluting the interest in the league because they recognise competitive leagues as good for the overall brand. In football other than in England and to a certain extent Spain the European leagues have winners who are on 8,9 year winning streaks how can that be entertaining and sellable when you no the final outcome to the product before it’s even started.

I’m sure it’s been raised on here already but 3 clean sheets in a row when did that last happen. And I think 5 out of 6 away clean sheets too. I think the keeper and defence need huge credit including Hause and Elmo

Is it fine though, was football so bad before VAR I’m incline to think it was better and more entertaining. If we are not willing to accept mistakes from refs then maybe we should not accept them from players too and have robots playing. Mistakes from players and officials are part of football and it makes it more interesting. VAR has allowed refs to admit they are rubbish but still allow them to be rubbish but just use tv to do it. Not every decision needs to be right as long as it’s done in good faith.

I think the difference was intent and Hause (who I thought was excellent) wasn’t looking to cause injury where as Livermore was. It wasn’t even his first attempt on jack it had 3-4 goes to try and nail him. You can imagine big Sam telling him to launch into him first chance you get to let him know your there. Good stuff Jake at least you got a shower while the water was still hot.

I love Hause because I accept his limitations and I’m games like Burnley you know he is the type of heading machine we need. Agree with all those that say his distribution lacks some quality but heading and tackling are his game and the was a time when that was a centre half’s job. I also don’t think he is slow either. I would get one of our coaches to really work him hard on his distribution and who knows we might reach that holy grail of improving a player. I think it’s worth a try

Have they got any good players ? Because morales does not come into that bracket. He would be a waste of money regardless of how cheap he might be

So are we thinking big Sam keeps the baggies up on goal difference ?

Really impressed given the age and the first start. Calm on the ball, good energy, put himself about and thought he did some excellent work off the ball too. Has to be in the mix to contribute more minutes this season

I gave my mom to Ramsey just because for his first prem start I thought he was excellent but I agree emi was superb in goal and the rest was a battle. Clearly the mom was Mike Dean though I’m sure the refs association will love his cards total today

Barkley by a mile not even a contest for me. The is a reason why Alli isn’t getting a sniff at Spurs and it’s because his attitude is crap and his work rate is pathetic. A case of a young kid thinking he has made it big, pleasing though to see a Spurs asset decreasing in value by the day although I’m sure levy would want £100 million for him still

Starting to look like one of those sides that starts well but everybody knows it wont last and we are really proving that. Need to get rid of the soft side of our defensive game or we will concede every time teams attack. Like the 2nd goal today you could see that coming before Bowen got the ball out to Benrama because the was no pressure on the ball. Must get nastier and harder to play against and quick before we become this years Bournemouth

Not really he missed from 4 yards same as he did twice against Brighton and in both games it cost us (as did a shit penalty) in this league you don’t get enough chances to be able to put finishes like that down to bad luck or a good save. From 4 yards stood on your own the keeper should get no chance to make a good save. Don’t think it was going in anyway

We could get potentially 8-10 penalties this season, we can’t afford to have a penalty taker that has a 33% success rate. It worried me before he took it that sky showed he misses more than he scores. Taking penalties is a specialist job look at Man Utd they have a guy in Fernandes who only scores penalties and no other type of goal because that’s his job

Can’t keep getting caught on the break. No coincidence we keep losing at home when we give ourselves Zero cover against sides that break quick. And the is a lot to criticise after today but mings ffs get yourself back down to Earth usual casual arrogant performance he puts in after he gets a couple of caps for England

Don’t underestimate how poor Leeds are they are starting to get hammered by sides now that teams have figured out that they are not that good(apart from us). I thought Leeds might need 20+ points by Christmas because I think they will get worse and worse through the season as they get injuries and the burn out that Bielsa teams get after halfway through the season. It wouldn’t surprise me if Leeds are right down there although I think the poor start from other teams down there will probably save them.
