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.
