Leeds United F.C.

Match Review

Leeds United 0 - 0 Newcastle United

A solid if not spectacular performance from the home team. The re-jigged midfield was a concern for me, but they proved to be combative, with Longstaff a standout against his former side. Much better against the ball, breaking up play & regaining possession.
Some promising attacks broke down with poor quality of the final ball, & when the delivery was better there was a failure to get on the end of them in threatening positions. It was late into added time before Pope had to make a save from Calvert-Lewin who again showed promise of what he could deliver once he improves his fitness.
Newcastle looked, more direct & dynamic in transition, yet still only troubled Perri to make 2 saves. After their impressive display against Liverpool, looking the better side with 10 men, today's opposition was slightly disappointing. Although missing a few key players I expected more.

Hopefully something in the shape of creative quality & finishing can be signed before the transfer window closes. 4 points before the International break is as good, if not better than could be expected, given the opposition.

Easiest three points Leeds will get all season on the road tomorrow .
Just play 11 cardboard cut outs. Plenty mobile enough to beat my lot .

^^ Something has to give in this fixture, Leeds haven't scored from open football in their first 3 games.

There you go.
Not even half time and it's game over. Charity FC going down with zero points. Wolves really are diabolically and despicably hopeless.

^^ Leeds United estimated squad value is appox £258 million. Wolves is £392 - 435 million.

Most of that money completely wasted in the case of Wolves.
Absolutely on course to be the worst PL team in history. I have never seen such a calamitous cavalcade of catastrophic cack in all my years watching top flight football. Leeds I think will stay up.

Wolves will finish bottom on zero points and condemned to the biggest humiliation in the history of football.

It was a good result for Leeds, and I see have now found a decent goalkeeper.

We already had him, Darlow might keep his place even when our No.1 Perri is fit. We paid only 400K for Darlow, Perri around 15 million & 5 million for Meslier who we are struggling to get rid of.
You could put practically anyone from this forum between the sticks & they'd all outperform the Frenchman.
