Greenfly Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 They're clearly a well drilled side. Good fun to watch. I still can't see them keeping this level of intensity up for the entire season though. How deep is their squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 They've looked OK on the whole, can't imagine too many people being surprised with the way they play who've followed the Championship or even just Bielsa. Let's not forget they were widely being tipped by a whole host of to gatecrash Europe before the season began... The way some are going on here and beyond who'd be forgiven for thinking they were producing some unprecedented stuff. Just in the last years we've had Wolves come up and finish 7th in their first season and Sheffield United 9th last year, despite the wankfest Leeds are middle of the pack.

If Leeds did what Sheffield United did last season or Wolves the season before that the adulation they get will probably come close to rivaling the (justified) adulation Leicester got when they won the league.

Abomination of a haircut though. I actually thought pre-injury he was a bit shit. Decent but nothing like the player we've seen in the championship, since he's come back he's been immense. We probably lose this 4-1 again if he's not in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Just watched the Everton game.....So impressed with Leeds running and workrate...it opens so many doors in terms of opportunities to score and deny the opposition and helps with the essential luck, every team needs.....its funny how they say the harder you work, the luckier you get. whether they keep it up or not, its working right now. They all look as fit as a butchers dog.....good luck to them. Edited November 28, 2020 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its hard to keep that level of intensity up all season but theres 8 less games in the Premier League to the championship so they probably wont burn out like people are expecting them to.

useless Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 They're only on one more point thant West Ham and Bournemouth had after the same amount of games last season, only three more points than we had. They're not doing bad at all relative to what's reasonable to expect, but aren't as good as is made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 What is impressing me the most is their mentality. Heavy defeats simply doesn't seem to face them at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably in a better financial position than say sheff utd to enable them to buy players to swell their squad.....to create rotation.....to continue with their intensity. but you are right, its whether they can keep it up.....but you can only worry about one game at a time. They did it the championship and are still doing it..... However, there are many factors, to a good team, I' m just mentioning one...but an important one Imv.

Overall they do have deficiencies, they are WIP like us......but we are talking about something they do well and give teams a hard game because of it.

I doubt many other clubs have spent that amount (us, Chelsea... any others?) & how many of those players played in either the arsenal or Everton games. 2 with another coming on 20 minutes as a sub.
