Another absolutely dreadful performance so far. Had a decent first 5 and then been completely useless ever since, very lucky to still be leading. 

Buendia and Ramsey absolutely shocking. 

There’s not much movement infront of them in fairness

Need to reshuffle out tactics because of the injuries to Digne & Watkins have forced changes.  Leeds play a very high press and you can typically counter that sort of play with speedy outlets for a counterattack, but with Watkins off the pitch, Ings doesn't stretch the pitch enough to help relieve pressure.  Need to shuffle our shape around again at halftime and I trust Emery to do so.

We dominated play until Watkins came off, then they've gotten the better of us since.

I'm sure if Emery changes formation much, but 442 doesn't look to be getting it done, at least with Ramsey and Buendia out wide 

Buendia is just off the striker tonight interchanging with Bailey

Well time to earn your money Unai. Whatever the plan was it isnt working whatsoever. Plan B time 

Not on Emery. Our squad is mid table, at best. He can’t turn water into wine. We have to grind out results. This is one on those occasions.

To be fair to Buendia he really hasn't had a sniff all half, apart from the goal we have provided nothing for the midfield to do. No point in tippy tapping around with the back four only to lump it up the field to a Leeds Defender.
