Think the Weeds might regret not scoring first half.
Shame, eh.

Only switched on at halftime but it’s taken me 10 minutes to realise Leeds are in their away kit.

Just glancing at it, it looks white

I’ll agree that the numbers on their backs are white but that’s a pretty blue kit

But Leeds played lovely football in the first half, which gave the dingbats on here a 'valid' reason to slag off our manager, Chairman and club.

Belms.

Leeds are playing some beautifully fantastic football, that would get them annihilated week in week out in the Premier League.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:20 pm

Leeds have played some great one touch football, similar to Norwich and like Norwich they come unstuck.

Complete rubbish. Just because we've managed to stay up playing a certain way doesn't mean it's the only way of being successful. Look at Sheff U.

How did Lacazette not get punished there ?

Even with VAR having a look at it.

duncandisorderly · Post by **duncandisorderly** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:29 pm

And Burnley, don't forget. We played some really good stuff under Coyle, including but not exclusive to Arsenal at home. Arguably my favourite 12 months as a Burnley supporter. The entirety of 2009 was excellent.

Wind yer neck in pal, where did I mention our team? I complemented Leeds on how they play, and gave my opinion about how I believe they’ll do if they make it to the Prem... absolutely nothing about Burnley in my post

No worries, I took it slightly the wrong way. And on Leeds i think if they upgraded on Bamford they'd be well capable of staying up.

Danieljwaterhouse · Post by **Danieljwaterhouse** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:36 pm

Leeds haven't come undone, I like the way they’re playing. Good young technical players who are holding their own. Keeper looks a great find, Phillips is a class above everyone, and they’ve just brought on a young kid who’s signed from Forest Green Rovers. Lots to like about Dirty Leeds.

Barry_Chuckle · Post by **Barry_Chuckle** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:39 pm

Keep is on Loan from FC Lorient, good find though, as is the lad from Newport County or the one from Forest Green Rovers.

This Leeds love-in is embarrassing. They’re getting done by a proper half arsed Arsenal team

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:41 pm

Arsenal's pass success is about what we get. 72%.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:49 pm

Such a shame Weeds didn't follow through, after a great first half.

Yeah right.

It just goes to show playing good football like Leeds, doesn't get you anywhere against the top sides

Leeds unlucky. Taylor the ref was shocking Xhaka should have been walking for the amount fouls he committed.

No one has said it's ' the only way' but it is a way. Football ebbs and flows; not that long ago Sheff Utd. were knocked out of this comp. by non-league Barnet at home. Can't recall which team were darlings of the media then,though.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:58 pm

Brilliant game to watch. No fear at all from Leeds, even if they didn't have the quality up front, they went at it full pelt and some of their players were very impressive.

Leeds get a place in the next round on the back of that special first half.

thelaughingclaret · Post by **thelaughingclaret** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 10:16 pm

Really wanted a reply in this with Leeds winning the reply or at least some Leeds red cards and injuries. Needed more games for Leeds to play. They look certain for promotion and that makes me ill.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 10:19 pm

Maybe some of us just appreciate watching good football? We haven't seen much of it watching Burnley recently. Are some of you that blinkered you can't acknowledge another team playing well?

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 10:24 pm

Regardless of our style of football, go around the world and we are well known as a team, because of being in the Prem for a few seasons.

The same can't be said of Leeds.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Tue Jan 07, 2020 12:21 am

Thought Leeds were excellent, yes they didn’t progress but gave it a real go, no fear and on another day could’ve walked away with a win. I’d be really proud if I was a Leeds fan watching us play like that away at Arsenal, I’d rather see us lose 1-0 playing like that than lose 1-0 like we did at Everton where we didn’t even try to win.

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Tue Jan 07, 2020 6:53 am

Some bizarre replies, why can’t Burnley fans Acknowledge a side playing well without bitchy replies?

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Tue Jan 07, 2020 8:15 am

What a weird thread

The ones who spent last week saying have no interest in the cup (then searching for a free stream from their armchair come kick off) knocking one out over a 45 minute show from Leeds when up against no opposition.

No mention from any of them that Arsenal never turned up first half or even got near 1st gear, yet they have spent years bitching about how we throw cup games due to losing 1 fa cup tie under Dyche to a team from a lower division. Giving Leeds heaps of praise for competing with a team from a higher division yet had that been us in the 1st half last night the same ones would have paid no compliment to the opposition just how we are throwing yet another fa cup game.

Sad to see such hypocrites even bother with our club.
