Yeah his full prem record since he was allowed to spend in summer 2020 is (as far as I've worked out) 17 wins, 13 draws and 30 defeats. I actually thought he did a half decent job in 19-20 with the younger players but since then....yikes. He's on 1.06ppg in that run, and dropping every week atm.

I agree, I don't think there should be refunds. My point is simply that if clubs are going to treat (relatively) loyal fans as customers, don't be surprised if some turn around and then act like customers in return. I think there's definitely a distinction to be drawn between the two. Although as others have said, it's definitely more of an appeasement attempt on behalf of the players than anything really driven by the fans barring maybe one or two idiots that rang in to TalkSport.

I'm torn on it tbh. Clubs treat fans/supporters like customers these days, and as a customer you have a right to complain and get your money back when the product is shite. What are we to clubs? Fans, or customers? They can't have it both ways. I don't think clubs should reimburse fans for crap performances but equally if fans weren't gouged for ticket prices and people had paid £15-20 to be there they wouldn't be half as bothered. You can't charge people a premium for a "high end product" and have players turning up not arsed.

Had a really weird bit yesterday where he showed a turn of pace I never knew he had to get in front of the Fulham attacker in our box and win the free kick. Good defending, I'd just never seen him move like that before Donk is decent, solid squad player who is a Belgian international, I think for a backup CDM we couldn't ask for much more. Good deal for what, the £12m we paid for him? Not let us down at all in the league. I like him.

They seem to win games at home despite never actually playing that impressively. I think we can certainly come away with something.
-
I'm optimistic. The amount of fans I saw on social media praying for his guts/arse to settle down for tonight must've made an impact
-
Just posted in his thread, he's put his usual matchday graphic on his Insta story so hopefully that bodes well
-
He has posted his usual match-day graphic on Insta. I assume this means he's okay!
-
What if you were in goal and Olsen is in the Holte?
-
You love to see it
-
I wouldn't touch him personally. Lacks presence, doesn't command his area and has the frame of a child. 11 shots on target faced and 11 goals conceded in the last couple of games is grim reading and he's never convinced me at this level...although you could say the same thing about the entire Leeds back line I suppose.
-
Raheem Sterling. Never rated him and as others have said in the Chelsea thread, completely exposed now he hasn't got KDB putting the ball on a plate for him at the back post. People talk about his scoring record for England but he kills more attacks than he contributes to. A void of nothingness where attacking intention and creativity goes to die. I genuinely think Leon Bailey is a better player.
-
Without Tuchel's decent points return at the start of the season, they really would be bang in trouble. I don't understand how you can spend all that money and not have a single decent centre forward at the club.
-
This is my take on it too. I think Benteke is still the best, but my favourite is Ollie by some distance!
-
Where are our old condescending Leeds visitors I wonder? Internet down in Yorkshire?
-
Kane won't go abroad, he wants the PL record and fair play, he's an excellent striker as well a cheating arse. I really hope we can do the double over these after so many years of struggling against them. I'm still angry about Benteke's red card in the home game in the 14/15 season!
-
Was gonna say this too, absolutely perfect lay off with his head, while being fouled. What a wonderful team goal.
-
Between the two for me, I still think prime Benteke was the best forward I've seen purely because he was doing all of that in a shocking, shocking team. However I desperately hope Watkins becomes our top prem goalscorer in the next 2-3 seasons, he deserves it!
-
I think it's a cup we could feasibly win too. You look at who's in the last 8 this year and I don't think any of those sides would hold much fear for us.
-
I'm sure I've read somewhere that Gerrard himself admitted he wasn't much into the tactical side of things as a player. He led by example and by scoring last minute thunderbastards which masked his lack of nous. Anyway, re Dougie I was critical of him when he first joined as he seemed to take too long on the ball to pick his passes but ever since lockdown in 2020 he's been absolutely superb and I hope he stays for the rest of his career. Absolutely unreal footballer and seems a real genuine bloke too. So glad he stayed, despite Gerrard!
-
Maddison wouldn't come to us anyway, he's a typical Cov rocket polisher that hates the Villa
-
None of our players would get in their team though lads, we’re just lucky and outperforming our xG
-
Was about to say this too, no chance anybody would cost £30m from Valencia this coming summer as their owners have been giving away their best players for sweet FA for years.
-
7th would be an exceptional effort after where we were and I'd be very happy with that.
-
I was listening to a discussion about Fresneda recently, the consensus was he is young and obviously talented with plenty of room for growth, but not yet at the level to be a first choice RB for any side with European ambitions. Can't say how accurate that is as I refuse to pay for premier sports to watch La Liga but seems a sensible enough conclusion to me.
