Cash is out of control as always

Its actually hard to imagine us scoring, let alone it happening.

This is the thing. We overrate so many of these passenger based on performances that by in large are down to Grealish.

I feel sorry for Watkins. Hes like Steelers Wheel, clown to the left of him joker to the right.

Lol sums that clown traore up

Ndombele can walk past ANY of our midfield

Cant watch Trezeguet, just cant do it anymore

McGinn gets physically bullied? Hes shit, gets played around and ourclassed most of the time but he doesnt get physically bullied. Conor Hourihane got called weak as piss but that doesnt fit the agenda your going with.

Lol

Hes not looked good enough in any game You'll get hammered for saying it cos people are defensive of a young player which is admirable but hes been really poor. In his defence hes been playing in games where we havent had Grealish which isnt ideal and makes things a lot harder.

Watkins looks league 1 level with the ball at his feet.

Konsa, Grealish, Martinez. Only 8 players away from winning the league.

Awful. Exactly as expected with that team. Full of periphery players who cant take a game by the scruff of the neck. The front 6 are all made to look better then they are by Grealish, they go hiding when hes playing half the time so youve got no chance getting a tune out of em whens hes not. The lack of technique is scary.

This is shite

Wouldnt have traore down as one to brush that one off. Looked a sore one tbf

Its been coming. Been shite for weeks and knicking games.

This is how weve been for ages tbf.

He’s dropped a right bollock not starting him with our right side.

Having Ramsey is allowing us to get out wide and stop the attacks they start from fullbacks one twoing into midfield. Fair play Mr Smith. Bielsa has done us a right turn by leaving Harrison on the bench.

Negative nelly here but I just can’t see how that side troubles Leeds. They’ll just be chasing the ball. Can really see El Ghazi and Traore dealing well with getting swarmed.

Its the old Conor Hourihane test i use, that is "What if Conor Hourihane had put in that performance" Because with Conor you take out all the leeway they get for their name/reputation/caps for Brazil etc. Take the game against Leicester for example, it would be "yeah but aside from the goal he was shit, not physical enough, too easy to play around. Lazy, bottler. Championship level" etc. At best he has had two good games for us (good, not great) but you'd think he he'd been tearing up half the season before his injury the way people go on. The fitness thing is way overblown as well, I know he's a big lad but he isn't coming off a 12 month cruciate ffs.

Cometh the hour....

Gutted. My only lol is Rodgers playing two fullbacks on the right cos he thought Grealish was playing.

We play too much phone box football at times. 3 players standing next to each passing 5 yards and then we get boxed it as a result. It’s a symptom of our midfield being so immobile though, it’s hard to find the likes of Barkley and Traore in space because they are static.

Brilliant again tonight. Absolute leader. To have picked up clean sheets against Southampton, Brighton, Arsenal is phenomenal considering how much under the cosh they've been. The whole backline have been hung out to dry by the ones in front of them for the past few weeks and still stood strong. It would be good to remember games like this he makes the odd mistake (like every player on earth) instead of automatically labelling as 'shit' and 'not good enough'. There's been a hell of a lot of performances like this since he arrived.
