Topic: Half time: Leeds United Football Club 0-1 Red Birds Sports Franchise

[RK7]

Better execution in the final third and we are further ahead here, boys are working hard bit still look so sloppy.

[Gnurglan]

Good to be ahead. I think we look similar to the last few games in that we struggle to finish our chances. We create them but we could he sharper. Really nice play for the goal, all the way.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Just want too say what a ball from Jota.

He's been great, almost MVP.  Holds the ball up really well

[Rush 82]

Some strange comments here.
Regardless of what your opinion is on the owners, or the idea of the ESL, there is no need to be negative, or to appear to show apathy to Klopp and the boys. This is a game thread. We're playing. It's great to see a football game after all the talk done in the last 24 hours.
Why not support the boys? If you're not interested, why come on and comment on this thread. There is another thread for that surely?

This.


I'll get grief for this but lot of people in this thread being twats - go vent on Twitter - you're pissing on your own choir in here.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

wish we could play Leeds every week

So you're for English Mediocre League (EML)?  Nah lets leave that one to the Bitters.

[redmark]

Decent stuff and a nice goal but we seemed to be misplacing a lot of passes.

Maybe the lads are a tad distracted.

We've been misplacing passes for a while now. Not sure when our forwards started trying to pass straight through clearly visible defenders.

[Bobinhood]

I kind of like that we stole Real's tactic and we are dropping it in long over the rb. 

[number 168]

Enjoying seeing Kabak alongside Fab. He seems calm and keen to join in as well as defend. Good first half from the lad.

[jonnypb]

Liverpool heave ‘earn’t’ the right to be ahead. Just a shame that we don’t have fireworks going off after each goal. Hopefully we’ll get some decent half time entertainment with this super league thingy that people are talking about, get tired of listening to jamie and gary at half time. Best get my foot long hotdog, nachos and 1l of coke consumed before this interval ends.

[Funky_Gibbons]

I’ll confess that even then I waited until I was sure it was in the net before being convinced he would finish it.

It wasn’t until I’d seen the third replay and couldn’t see and reason to disallow it that I cheered.

[Zimagic]

Did anyone else see their GK handling outside the box? About 37minutes in?

[stockdam]

Shit I forgot all about that. Plus if you want to propose to your partner why not do it on the fan-cam.

[oxenstierna]

This.

Its just some jokes?

[smutchin]

Just want too say what a ball from Jota.

It was gorgeous. Deserves an assist for that.

[Fruity]

Diana Ross and Blink 182 - half time entertainment.

Prefer Janet Jackson - she might get a boob out

[Red_Mist]

Does anyone care? I suppose we should if we believe in the fans’ ability to protest this Super League out of existence and let us get back to qualifying for the CL. But otherwise, this game has been rendered entirely pointless, hasn’t it?

[KevLFC]

Firmino is annoying me again. Why dies he just take more care with his passing?

Agreed. We played well and scored in the first half, Mane broke his mini drought, and we look good.

Any anti-American sarcasm belongs in other threads.

[Caligula?]

This.

Didn't think I'd be up for this game but I still cheered when Sadio slotted that in. What more can you ask from the lads. It's not their fault.

[The Test]

Confused. Does top 4 get Super league next year?

[88_RED]

Nice slam dunk from Mane.

Just need to score a home run in the second half and we'll be odds on to make the play offs.. post season ball, here we come..

[jedimaster]

Sterling play making by the Red Bird guys. We may be the winningest team over the last 3 weeks if we keep this up.

[jillcwhomever]

I thought he might have, but I'm watching on my phone so wasn't sure.

[Qston]

I am confused by the Trent advert for a fuck off dilly

Its called an intermission, chief.

Yeah agree, didn’t expect all the trolling in a game thread. Weird day.

[Lastrador]

It’s a preseason game, relax dude.

[didi shamone]

To be fair I think many people are just having a laugh, as is the thread title which kind of set the tone.

[smutchin]

It wasn’t until I’d seen the third replay and couldn’t see and reason to disallow it that I cheered.

Oh yeah - even when it went in, I didn’t celebrate as I was pretty certain it was going to be ruled out for offside (even though it clearly wasn’t).

Football, eh? Bloody love it.

[KillieRed]

I’ll confess that even then I waited until I was sure it was in the net before being convinced he would finish it.

I was waiting for the inevitable VAR check/overturn.

[Macphisto80]

Nobody is having a go at the team or Klopp.

[88_RED]

Firmino is annoying me again. Why dies he just take more care with his passing?

He'll struggle to pass if he's dead mate..

[stockdam]

Confused. Does top 4 get Super league next year?

Nope but it gets you a star on your baseball hat as does player of the month.

[Bobinhood]

Confused. Does top 4 get Super league next year?

Gets into the draw (fixed) for an inviter slot.

[KevLFC]

Why is Southgate at every game we play? Doesn't like Trent and no one else really to watch from our team?

[Mighty_Red]

So many counter attacks, we should be 2 or 3 up by now. Regardless of what's going on outside, not sure why Leeds are wearing tshirts, sounds a little too coordinated and suspicious. Jurgen summed things up a lot better, main cos he isn't into playing politics.

[ToneLa]

Yeah agree, didn’t expect all the trolling in a game thread. Weird day.

Light racism is alright ysee if it's just jokes

We have played well. It's.. . yeah, disjointed, but Klopp needs support and the players need support

And after what Leeds did, they need SMASHED

[88_RED]

I was waiting for the inevitable VAR check/overturn.

That will only happen now if there's a flag on the play..

[Yorkykopite]

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to Sky Sports: "This doesn't surprise me. The most superior teams have managed their superiority through competition. When they no longer need them to win money they discard what they no longer need. This is a very common thing, not only in football. It shouldn't surprise us.

"The fundamental problem is the rich always aspire to be more rich without considering the consequences for the rest. As they gain more power they start demanding more privilege over the rest.

"The most powerful are powerful because of what they bring but the rest are dispensable. What makes competition great is the possibility for one of those weak teams to develop, not the big teams playing each other. But the logic of the world at the moment and in football is not outside this - that the powerful become more rich as a consequence of the weak becoming more poor. If this was is what guides the world at the moment why is there such astonishment. This shouldn't surprise us. It was something that was coming."

I reckon we can make the post-season play-offs if we keep it up. We need it to keep our superstars.
