Sheff Utd v Leeds match thread

[matttheclaret]

Not if we lose the other 3 and Sheff u draw their other 3 games

I think everyone should just enjoy the ride, it's still only February - way too early to worry about permutations

[Newcastleclaret93]

Leeds would be 4 or 5 down by now if they were playing a decent PL team

Totally agree did you see Newcastle Forrest the other day.

That quality of finishing against Leeds tonight and it would be a bloodbath

[Goodclaret]

The way the game has gone so far I feel Sheffield will need, and are really pushing, for a second. They won't keep this pace and aggression up all game so will leave chances for DL.

[dandeclaret]

Amen….

[warksclaret]

Leeds slowly getting back in to it
My money is on them

[Stonehouse]

Out of our hands now,

[agreenwood]

I’ve lived in Leeds for 25 years. They’ve always had a habit of losing games I wanted them to win and snatching draws or even wins when I would have been delighted with them losing.

'a bloodbath' What are you waffling on about?

[Dazzler]

Don't tell me, tell Crosspool. I reminded him there are 3 other games.

[matttheclaret]

Out of our hands now,

Aye, lucky there's still a quarter of the season for things to change again really

[Newcastleclaret93]

'a bloodbath' What are you waffling on about?

I thought it was quite clear. Vegas was saying that premier league quality finishing and Leeds would be down 4/5 goals.

I said did you watch Newcastle Forrest, if that quality of finishing was on display here it would be a blood bath.

That clear enough?

[CrosspoolClarets]

Not if we lose the other 3 and Sheff u draw their other 3 games

That goes without saying.

Of course the reverse is more likely given our recent record.

[Vegas Claret]

it was like watching a different sport mate.

[dandeclaret]

Out of our hands now,

I can’t believe they’ve thrown it away having had it in their hands at Luton….. just not good enough.

[Vegas Claret]

btw, anyone heard a peep out of the self proclaimed best fans in the world yet ?

[AfloatinClaret]

It'll look far different once Leeds have accrued their traditional 2 points in April.

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Aye we can forget about finishing in the top 2 now so let's just concentrate on winning the FA cup

[agreenwood]

You’d never know we were unbeaten in 20-odd games, having won 4 of the last 5, the way some talk about what might happen over the remaining games.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Don't tell me, tell Crosspool. I reminded him there are 3 other games.

I was only reminding dodgy-maths Newcastle to stay positive. Totally agree we just need to focus on our own results.

(mind you, 10 reds and 10 injuries tonight and I wouldn’t complain )

[JimmyRobbo]

Leeds have come back into it. Solomon should have scored (or created) at least one when clear.

Let's hope the second half is sees an equaliser.

[Dazzler]

That goes without saying.

Then there was no point in your permutation.

[Spijed]

Can't see Sheffield United being so open in the second half unfortunately. They'll park the bus

[Newcastleclaret93]

If Leeds can get back into it a 1-1 draw would be great for us.

[NewClaret]

Leeds have come back into it. Solomon should have scored (or created) at least one when clear.

Sheffield have dropped off, expect Leeds will find a way to get an equaliser.

[Spijed]

The one game you wanted Leeds to play well they've been so ponderous at times.

[beddie]

Leeds have been shocking. I thought keepers were taught to get up quickly after a save, the Leeds keeper was having a lie down and then put it in the net for them.

[me01jh]

We want a Leeds win IMO, their offensive structure and ball retention is similar to us under VK. They also have that sprinkle of magic dust in Solomon and goal threats all over the park. You can see how they have been putting teams to the sword.

Other than tempo and bully boy tactics, I'm not seeing anything from Sheff U that worries me.

[Devils_Advocate]

Hoped Leeds would be too good for Sheff Utd tonight but watching this half confirms these are the best two teams in the division. With our squad we should be above both of these but as it stands we're gonna need a fair bit of luck in the run in to pinch an automatic spot from one of these two teams

[beddie]

Other than tempo and bully boy tactics, I'm not seeing anything from Sheff U that worries me.

Really. I think Sheff U have been brilliant and if they continue like that they’ll turn Leeds over.

[Vincent'sCap]

Jobie McAnuff really is the best pundit on the tv .

[Burnley1989]

It's not a bad result for us as such, that top spot has only moved up by 1 point. I still think we will win it

[Vincent'sCap]

Meslier getting stick on here off the usual suspects who give it Trafford last season absolutely clueless,calling him dogger Leeds are top of the table FFS

So? Have you watched Meslier in that half and thought he’s a decent keeper? He’s flapped all season too.

Meslier is more than a bit dodgy, but I’m not sure he could be blamed for the own goal.

Welcome to the board Meslier.

Every Leeds fan I talk to calls Meslier dog poop tbf they all want a change

[jdrobbo]

He’s excellent

[Vincent'sCap]

And played every game for Leeds who before this game where top of the league Sheffield Utd i seem to recall made the messiah Muric look a donkey in our 5-2 defeat there recently Meslier is a good keeper unlike Muric who has instantly been forgotten by his lovers on here

[distortiondave]

That Meslier is a big unit. I honestly thought he was like a 'short' but nimbler type of keeper, because I've seen football matches with him in goal, but he's 'literally' a massive wimp who shrinks when he has to do anything.

[Spijed]

It's just not happening is it?

[dandeclaret]

It's just not happening is it?

Well it was t….

[agreenwood]

Gus Hamer will be as big as a house within 6 months of hanging up his boots.

[Goliath]

I'm still baffled by our Leeds performance. They've shown numerous times that they can be got at away from home. We could have beaten them comfortably if we'd gone for them.

[Milltown1882]

Burnley 21 undefeated, haven’t conceded in 74 years, didn’t realise the title race was being finalised tonight.

[Milltown1882]

Also they both play Saturday too so will have each played twice since our last game. No stress at all.

[me01jh]

I'm surprised by Leeds' mentality. They've allowed Sheff U to get right in their faces and dominate the ref. Can't see our boys allowing this.

[distortiondave]

Hoping now for either 3 more Sheff Utd goals, or a 2-1 last minute turnaround by Leeds. Something utterly demoralising for either side.
A 1-0 home win is arguably the worst result. Gives Sheff Utd confidence, doesn't give Leeds pause.

Top of the table DESPITE him, not because of him.

To be fair Vincent, It was you who dropped Trafford...!

Ipswich have a keeper like that…
