harrison and struijk having a shocker here. awful first half.
very impressed by weber. Big upgrade on cooper.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Jan 22, 2023 6:51 pm  

I said to a mate the other day that Pontus and or Bamba made Cooper look good when they played.
Wober has done the same today with Koch having a very good game.
So you Harrison fans.
I watched him closely in the first half.
13 passes and only 3 found the man and 3 dribbles or runs with the ball and he lost it every time and one attempted tackle that he lost out on.
The second half he started the same and I stopped counting.
Admittedly he got better, slightly.
He was also drifting out wide suffocating Gnonto`s space.
If he`s going to play move him to the right.

Agree pal. Wober was fantastic considering that was his first start. Harrison and Aaronson were poor, that’s why we couldn’t score, there was no quality ball coming from either. Rodrigo and Gnonto were starved of service in the right areas, we had nothing from the bench in midfield/10 position that could change it. We need to bring a good option in there but I suspect we may not, it’s gone very quiet.

We were playing right where Brentford wanted us to play imo, right down the middle. It was better defensively and we controlled ball ok but looked poor in final third. 2 wins in 19 now and that has to improve and quickly.

Lampard sacked by Everton, bad news for Leeds.

Interestingly, he had a higher win percentage than Marche currently does

Yep agree mate and couldn`t understand why we went down the middle.
The only thing I can think of is that we felt with their 2 tall CH`s we were unlikely to win anything in the air had we got the crosses in.
But Harrison/Aaronsen were never going to provide any scoring opportunities the way they were playing yesterday.
I was hoping Lampard would still be at Everton until we played them.

very difficult to break down a side that was well organised and played a 5-4-1 formation.
this is a team who have beaten man City and Liverpool recently. they are a good side and yet they never had a shot on goal. a good point but I agree we need a win and soon

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:25 pm  

Marsch plays too narrow I think. I’m yet to be convinced it works. If they lose to Forrest I can’t see how he stays in the job. We the face Man U away and at home in a week… ouch.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Jan 24, 2023 6:26 am  

I don't get this too narrow.
we play with plenty of width.
I agree his time could well be coming to and end. I hope we turn a corner as I like him but this squad should be doing a lot better.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Jan 24, 2023 7:37 am  

Thought the Brentford game was crying out for Leeds to play with more width. Time and time again we played down the middle, I’ve watched quite a lot of analysis on it and it was showing how Ayling was coming inside instead of overlapping and how Struyik was struggling to get forward effectively. It was too easy for Brentford to mop up.

Anyway I hope we turn the corner too, I don’t like changing managers there’s no guarantee at all it works, it’s a huge decision
