Decent or ok performances don't really result in allowing the highest expected goals of the season so far. That all depends, doesn’t it? A team could have 5 shots all game and have an xG of 5 (or near enough) if they were all amazing chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance to enjoy their loss I'll take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've had 5 xG from 5 shots and not scored 3 or 4 you're coming up with some truly incredible misses on the line and will feel you should have scored 5 afterwards.

Which they should have; see Werner's opportunity. It doesn't mean that Leeds were shit - they weren't. Chelsea were just very good.

They're a massive part of the game and if you're not rolling around like you've been assaulted you're doing it wrong. Raphinha goes down we get the ball kicked out on a Chelsea counter. Poveda stays up we don't get a penalty. Now why would any player chose to do things the 'right' way when its objectively worse? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your players, particularly Ayling, Alioski, and especially Bamford do not need the other player to make contact with them. The intention isn't to draw attention to a potential foul, it is to get the other player sent off. It happens so often, it has to be coached, and to say it is part of the game is a disgrace. While this is part of Leeds strategy, they don't deserve any respect. Cheating scum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Koch out! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55229520 Quote Leeds United defender Robin Koch will have surgery on Tuesday on the knee injury he aggravated against Chelsea. The Germany centre-back, 24, was substituted after nine minutes of his side's 3-1 Premier League loss at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. A Leeds statement said Koch had initially injured his knee during his debut against Liverpool in September. "Unfortunately, following a collision in the Chelsea game, he suffered further damage to the knee," it added. "Surgery is required to remedy the problem." Koch, who joined Leeds from Freiburg in August, has started all 11 of his side's league matches this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 8, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 8, 2020 It's David Batty's birthday today I think, and I can't help but think of one of my favourite games of football that didn't involve the Villa whenever I think of David Batty. Leeds vs Sampdoria in a preseason friendly, I think it was on Channel 4, a lovely sunny day and Batty chased Roberto Mancini up and down Elland Road and kicked lumps out of him with a massive grin on his face - the ref was feeling ever so lenient and didn't want to send him off as it was only a friendly so he marched over to Howard Wilkinson, who was stood with his arms folded on the touchline - the ref clearly asked Wilkinson to take him off before he sent him off - Wilkins said just one word "No" and wandered off. Happy times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted December 9, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2020 Batty had no interest in football it turned out. By all accounts at Leeds he would show up, do what he had to and leave. As about as 90's a midfielder you could get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
