Let’s Leeds them up the garden path!

[Bradley]

TAA with another assist.

 

[Shay_K]

Great pass. Great control and finish

....But where was the CB?

 

[Raz]

Can we just start Trent in midfield. Buy a RB.

 

[binomial]

Trent can't play in midfield. Hats off to every thick cunt who ever said that.

What about the guys who said he can't defend?

Errr what?

 

[Bradley]

I really like this TAA and Thiago deep lying midfield playmaker thing.

 

[mom]

Yeh Trent was taking control all game. Playmaker who can kinda defend.

 

[mom]

Loved how a pack of four reds were closing Leeds down even right at the end

 

[King Binny]

Konate helping TAA fit into his new role

[The Nomad]

That was the best I've seen us play all season.

We need a new RB.

 

[binomial]

Errr what?

The guys who said he couldn't defend and thus needed to be playing higher up?

 

[MomoWASright]

That was the best I've seen us play all season.

We need a new RB.

It’s a low bar.

 

[keniget]

That was fun for a change. Leeds gave us a good 'ol helping hand though - they'll go down if they carry on like this.

Trent can be the box-box, but alongside him you need a functioning CDM and CAM.
I doubt Fabs will be sold, but ideally we need Thuram/Koné but will be happy with the PSV guy who looks 45

I can see 5th and 6th in sight as we play Spurs and Villa and have a game in hand..., but 4th seems a bridge too far - and we would have to win every single game and Newcastle would need to drop 9 points. In all likelihood not happening...

The scum are shite. Should’ve been down to ten yesterday. And facing a pen. Against a shit Forest.

 

[tombrown]

I love how we have seriously damaged their survival hopes and ruined their goal difference and yet they are still 2 points and 2 goals better off than Everton

 

[bluebell]

The Loonies weren't the first ones to say it but said it for a while, even towards the end of near sweep of all titles

 

[rurikbird]

I really like this TAA and Thiago deep lying midfield playmaker against teams who sit deep and defend thing .

Could be more of a problem against teams that give it a go. But yeah, that’s giving “double-pivot” a new meaning - having 2 true playmakers who can ping the ball anywhere on the pitch at will as your CM pair is pretty nice.

 

[Frogfish]

Two points :

I love this new Trent position. It basically gives us a double pivot helping out Fabs (or whoever is playing as DM), enables Trent to spread the ball around, show his prowess on the ball and get forward, whilst Konate comfortably handles his double duty - except when he slips over - (VvD moves more central however it doesn't matter much as most teams play via the wings on the break, not through the centre) but can move back central if the danger appears there.

Anyone else notice how Konate and VvD swap places for corners from our left? Konate goes to the front post and VvD drops central/rear.

 

[Frogfish]

....But where was the CB?

Beaten by a great run.

 

[Frogfish]

Except that they didn't win the ball back ! 4 on 1 and Milner fouled him. Sigh.

 

[MomoWASright]

Effectively got a full squad and we show energy. Coincidence?

 

[peekay]

Based on Weston Mckinnie's performance, we got the better midfielder on loan from Juve.

 

[Fabio]

Nunez on for 10 minutes and scores.

Man's a mentality monster

 

[rubans]

Helps having a set of midfielders who are young and can run about, Jones and Trent help Fab and Hendo being protected from being bummed. All about stability first.

 

[Fabio]

Big fan of Diaz being trialled on the right. Hopefully he gets a start there soon, as I think he'll be used a lot there over the next few years

 

[keniget]

Nunez on for 10 minutes and scores.

Man's a mentality monster

It was a good run and finish but when your big summer signing finishes the season on the bench questions need asking (assuming he’s not got some injury or niggle).

What? We have a midfielder on loan from Juve? Where?

 

[StevieM]

We have harnessed the power of Dreamie as a force of good!!!

Is this a new hope?????
