I know what you're saying re Rutter signing, but, goals aren't a problem for Leeds, we're scoring plenty, Rodrigo is in very good goal scoring form. This kid is a big talent, and has been performing well in the first team for a good side in the Bundesliga. He will help us in an attacking aspect, he's strong, can dribble well, takes players on, can hold the ball up and can score. His goal record is ok for his age. I think this is a case of we have a great chance of bringing in a top young attacking talent at a good price (i'ts not that much in wider prem league terms) and we have to take it.

Hopefully in turn if it makes us better in the attacking third at keeping the ball then it should hopefully help us control games better and then hopefully a few wins will follow. Midfield needs added quality though also as we've said.

I`m sure I will be much more positive once we beat Villa 2-1 tonight.

I'd definitely take a draw to be honest. Not feeling confident at all.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jan 13, 2023 3:24 pm  

Yep i'd take a draw. Villa are a bit hard to predict at the moment, bit hit n miss. A win would be absolutely huge for Leeds though, a real bonus.

both teams are unpredictable but you would take a point away from home

Leeds are in serious trouble this season.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jan 13, 2023 9:54 pm  

I disagree. they have been supurb tonight. 2 pieces of awful defending by strjuik have cost us. and he wont play much more.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:16 pm  

Adams and Gnonto top performers tonight and Cooper not far behind.
Pity we don`t have a midfielder who can create chances for our forwards.
Struijk dreadful yet again and let Bailey do him twice on the inside.
Unlucky not to get a draw against a boring Villa.

Conceding the same goals every week. You won't stay up conceding 2 goals a game. I was surprised he took Harrison off, he was a threat and pressing really well.

2 wins in 17 is relegation form, and the.fans were chanting Marche out at the end. Managers have definitely been sacked for less
