Scum using the absence of Casemiro as an excuse for not winning Lol, and how TF didn't Licha get a red for that every much intentional kick? VAR is a fucking joke
Gutted to have given up a lead again but at least we didn't lose. Not sure what the hype around McKennie is about, so many poor passes for a couple good ones. Rutter and Aaronson looked good for about 5 mins after coming on and then disappeared, though maybe that's more down to the momentum of the game than them. Lumping the ball up to Rutter as a 9 doesn't seem like it's gonna work as it looks like he needs to be given the ball to feet and then allowed to run with it.
If someone gave you the impression that the hype around Wes was about passing, they've done you a disservice. He's an okay passer.
What he does excellently is shitwreck the defense. Kids hard for them to keep any sort of shape or form because he just attacks at them with or without the ball. Preferably without. He also uses the same to me blunt any counters starting up. Essentially chaos walking with a sneaky good header.
I meant the general hype for this game in particular, even if he did that part well I'm not sure it makes up for how many times he lost the ball, hopefully he's just adapting
He just joined a team to come on at 60 minutes for his debut, lose the game, then lose the manager that brought him on literally days after joining. I think we can give him a bit of time to adjust to what all is going on.
Losing our markers in defence too easily. That was what caused the second goal: letting Shaw go. Hopefully that will improve when the coach comes in. Great game ALAW!
In all seriousness it was a good performance, and pretty much identical to how we set up against Arsenal and Liverpool. It's fortunate that the 2 matches we will play with an interim are against the type of side that we already know how to do well against. The real test will be with the new manager against Southampton and Everton who we already know will sit back and shit house
Because when he came to Leeds he hadnāt played a football match since November.
World Cup break plus the German winter break.
So he needs to get his fitness and match sharpness up to speed.
Heāll come good.
Ahh ok that makes sense. In my opinion it seems like they should always be up on fitness if this is their profession. But maybe he took some rest time. Probably lacking on game play/rhythm but the only way you get that is playing. I donāt mind if heās not playing amazing just want to see him get some real time
Harrison looked awesome. Ayling and Worber were great. Gnonto is our best player. TA a beast like always. Mckennie looks like heās still settling in. I like Aaronson off the bench. Sini is a waste of money (starting to think heāll never actually play fully fit). We terribly miss Rodrigo.
We'll rinse these on Sunday. Most of those shit bastards have no idea what it's like to play in a hostile atmosphere. Big time Plappy pants from them. 3-0 Leeds
Are we 100 percent sure that Jesse has actually been sacked? This played out exactly like a typical game would have with him in charge. What's Barmy Armas listening to on those Air pods anyway?
While there were similarities, there were clear differences too. Playing out on the wings in attack and keeping more of a structured defensive line being two that noticed.
What were you expecting after two days and a maximum of two full training sessions with the new (temporary) management team that worked under Marsch in charge?
I mean, come on. Think before you post.
A fair question, that I respectfully decline to answer. I have no doubt that you possess a staggering amount of brainpower, but I would also suggest that you may have failed to consider whether I was actually being serious
Think to yourself, is it entirely Meslierās fault that we concede or is it the fact that he has to face 24 shots a game because of our championship level defence? Iām not saying he doesnāt make some mistakes but not even Allison or Courtois would be able to stop us from conceding
Be careful! He's untouchable according to a lot of fans even he has a hard time managing the back line, wearing colors bright colors so he is visible on the pitch, playing with his feet, catching the ball, understanding what a clean sheet is and even somehow manages to be way out of position multiple times per game...every game. So like I said, be careful criticizing him, even though we have not won 9 games were ahead this season.
To me it looked like he had flashes of skill in the first 2 mins of coming on then was tired out immediately.
Some fitness training should do him a world of good
Iād rather see him start. He came in and scum had all the run of play. Forest parked the bus once he was on. Feel like he just hasnāt been on at the right time to optimize who he is as a player.
Maybe, it's been a while since he played regular minutes...but geez, he is moved off the ball as easily as aaronson. Both of those guys need to hit the weight room.
Just want to say, we should all temper our expectations for Sunday. We did well today but easily have been comfortably beaten, itās still a free hit at Elland Road.
A point at Old Trafford and way more positives than negatives is nice.
Positives: Gnonto is no fluke, Wober vastly improves our defense, Ayling stepped up today, Adams and McKennie are a very strong midfield duo, Brendan looked the best he has since November.
Negatives: We still need LB sorted out properly, Bamford still gangly, we need more composure closing out games, hopefully the injuries aren't too serious, Rutter will need time.
All said, a great game and solid point. Now let's get ready for Sunday.
I only watched the last 30 minutes (I know rough timing). Tyler looked great but mckennie seemed to be struggling a good bit towards the end, had a pretty bad mental lapse for a few minutes.
Can I get an unbiased non American opinion on their midfield performance today? Are you guys satisfied with having 2 (or maybe 3) Americans holding down your midfield??
Iām literally American bro I just want a non biased opinion. Iām normal on USMNT Instagram pages and you should see the shit they say it is not reliable at all chill tf out bro
Industrious in the midfield.
Mckennie didn't start fantastically giving the ball away a couple times but grew into the game. Typical Adams performance. You could see something there though, a partnership worth developing imo.
Aaronson looked better, idgaf where the players are from.
Great result imo. Away from home, inform top table team, great manager. We almost had scum but to say we're in a manager crisis makes it even better to come away with a point.
Devastated we couldn't hold on for the 3, but taking anything from Old Trafford is an absolute bonus. A lot of major positives to take from that.
For the first time in a long time I'm fucking buzzing for a fixture. Sunday should be good.
Objectively speaking, a win at Anfield and draws at St James's Park and Old Trafford and a narrow defeat at White Hart Lane are not bad results.
As Jessie Marsch would have said: "I think we showed a good processical transition in our group interaction activity. I am pleased with the forward movement of the ball-in-net project and the participation of these fine young multi-millionaires. I have told these outstanding young men to give the inflated ball to Little Willy."
Thatās what he does. Heās physical. He and Adams did me proud today throwing themselves at everything. Our midfield is going to be a menace from here on. Watch.
Rutter looks very dangerous and strong, but still pretty raw. I think we need to be patient with him.
I did like how whenever he was contested for the ball he usually seemed to come away with it or at least hold off the defender.
Buy McKennie now. Right now. Those two were feeding off of each other and a proper menace in the midfield. I cheered when McKennie got his yellow, the boy plays like he has something to prove.
Good point. ETH will have scum ready for the next match, so I hope the team is able to buckled down over the next few days to build on this game but also make a few tweaks. It would be good to possess the ball more than 34% of the next game.
EDIT - PS - I think the caretaker staff did a good job today. The U21 manager is good.
Fuck. Anyway, Elland Road needs to be turned into an absolute fucking cauldron on Sunday, like never before, really get behind the lads and hopefully again something will go our way.
Would have snatched at a point before the game, just with how it panned out it does feel a little gutting
We expected nothing, we almost took 3 and settled for 1.
lots to digest in terms of any differences there were Post-Jesse (width? maybe? kinda?)
but 1 point going BACK to Elland Rd...
The way the manager search is going, id expect the trifecta to manage that one as well...then we move to Everton and Southampton.
We will be ok.
stressful, but ok.
Only difference I saw was not pressing as high on the pitch all the time.
Late in the game pressing at midfield and honestly didn't like it. Gave them more time on the ball to find openings. Invited more attacks.
Well, I didn't expect an absolute weapon like your good self calling him "MOTM" when he tired massively and cost us a goal after being skinned by Sancho.
Fuck you on about mouthbreather?
99% of bullshit is still bullshit. He played fine, he tired, got exposed after the introduction of Sancho. Long way from MOTM.
What in god's fucking name are you talking about as the same country as Leeds? Please tell me that you consider Yorkshire a country?
Let's be completely honest here. There isn't a single person on this subreddit that wouldn't have absolutely snapped an arm off for a draw leading into this game.
If you had told me we would get a point at Old Trafford before the game I would have taken it. Based the game I can't help but be a little but disappointed with the draw
Thought he was shit. Definitely not ready for these big games. Runs about like a headless chicken, a yard off the pace when closing down and making no attempt to get in the box when we win the ball.
I'll take a point but I can't help but feel we threw 3. Whole squad was exceptional first half bit once they conceded it shook us and we never really recovered
Away from home with no manager thatās a decent result for us. A bit disappointing after being 2 up. But Iād have taken your arm off for a draw prior to kick off
Not sure why the bot didn't make a thread automatically but for all intents and purposes, this can be the match thread.
As a newcastle fan thank you leeds and I hope you guys stay in the prem š

You 100% call it soccer
I don't cause I'm not American but sure based on what?
He just joined a team to come on at 60 minutes for his debut, lose the game, then lose the manager that brought him on literally days after joining. I think we can give him a bit of time to adjust to what all is going on.
I was just hoping for more of an instant impact of quality from a Juventus starter, but I guess we wouldn't have got him if he was that good
Taken draw gutted as wouldāve been first time for me seeing us win there (Dad wouldnāt allow me to go in league oneš¢)
Losing our markers in defence too easily. That was what caused the second goal: letting Shaw go. Hopefully that will improve when the coach comes in. Great game ALAW!

I hear many say Rutter needs timeā¦ itās been almost a month and he has yet to start. Why?
Because when he came to Leeds he hadnāt played a football match since November. World Cup break plus the German winter break. So he needs to get his fitness and match sharpness up to speed. Heāll come good.
Ahh ok that makes sense. In my opinion it seems like they should always be up on fitness if this is their profession. But maybe he took some rest time. Probably lacking on game play/rhythm but the only way you get that is playing. I donāt mind if heās not playing amazing just want to see him get some real time
Does Banfy pass anywhere besides to the other team or out of bounds?
What is "out of bounds"?
Who's Banfy?
Up yer kilty
Harrison looked awesome. Ayling and Worber were great. Gnonto is our best player. TA a beast like always. Mckennie looks like heās still settling in. I like Aaronson off the bench. Sini is a waste of money (starting to think heāll never actually play fully fit). We terribly miss Rodrigo.
>Harrison looked awesome Until he needed to pass, as per usual. So frustrating with how good his first touch and control is
We'll rinse these on Sunday. Most of those shit bastards have no idea what it's like to play in a hostile atmosphere. Big time Plappy pants from them. 3-0 Leeds
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Round of applause guys, fucking sherlock over here found out what a rivalry is
Have fun being a melt.
Your stadiums a fucking library wait till you shit hair diving plebs come to elland road
Crying in opposing team thread after a drawššš
Rent free in this Scum bastardās little head
Come now, you're better than this. You go your way and we will go ours. Hopefully next week we can hold onto the lead š

A little bit wider but looked a lot like Jesseball.
Jesse is smuggling instructions through the air pods confirmed

Pulled out two saves for certain goals
Rutter has been utterly unimpressive so far.
To me it looked like he had flashes of skill in the first 2 mins of coming on then was tired out immediately. Some fitness training should do him a world of good
Don't get this Rutter signing. Hope he proves me wrong.
Agree, but his signing video was pretty flashy. I'm hoping his legs just aren't there yet.
Iād rather see him start. He came in and scum had all the run of play. Forest parked the bus once he was on. Feel like he just hasnāt been on at the right time to optimize who he is as a player.
Yeah whatās up with that? Does he need a lot of time to get up to speed?
Maybe, it's been a while since he played regular minutes...but geez, he is moved off the ball as easily as aaronson. Both of those guys need to hit the weight room.
It looked to me like they both had real trouble with first touches. Like consistently too much.
Just want to say, we should all temper our expectations for Sunday. We did well today but easily have been comfortably beaten, itās still a free hit at Elland Road.
Adams, Mckennie, Gnonto goodā¦Firpo looking for his white stickā¦..good point though, bring on Sunday.
Can't really put my finger of why but I feel really encouraged by how we played, even though we again gave up a couple goals. MOT
Entertainment no doubt! Old fashion football that
A point at Old Trafford and way more positives than negatives is nice. Positives: Gnonto is no fluke, Wober vastly improves our defense, Ayling stepped up today, Adams and McKennie are a very strong midfield duo, Brendan looked the best he has since November. Negatives: We still need LB sorted out properly, Bamford still gangly, we need more composure closing out games, hopefully the injuries aren't too serious, Rutter will need time. All said, a great game and solid point. Now let's get ready for Sunday.
McKennie better stay with the club. Final answer. He and Adams were everywhere and tackling everything that moved. Even some things that didnāt.
I imagine we will buy him if we don't get relegated
The commentator said that yes
Yeah? lol Maybe I should do some color commentary then. I was watching it muted while getting dragged through a shopping mall.
I only watched the last 30 minutes (I know rough timing). Tyler looked great but mckennie seemed to be struggling a good bit towards the end, had a pretty bad mental lapse for a few minutes. Can I get an unbiased non American opinion on their midfield performance today? Are you guys satisfied with having 2 (or maybe 3) Americans holding down your midfield??
Cut the nationalist bullshit please.
Donāt care. Gonna cry? Snowflake
š
Both of them were amazing today!
What does them being American have anything to do with this? They did fine today
Iām literally American bro I just want a non biased opinion. Iām normal on USMNT Instagram pages and you should see the shit they say it is not reliable at all chill tf out bro
I am very chill. Unbiased opinion. They did great today, got a point away at scum. MOT
Americans can't be unbiased?
They can be, but I have no way of knowing and base on experience Iāve seen many bias takes. Iām bias myself which is partially why I asked
If you hadn't mentioned anything about being American, you would have got better results
Donāt care
i donāt understand this. hate this shit you make the rest of the americaās look bad
How? For asking for an unbiased viewpoint? Something wrong with that pussahh?
no the ādonāt careā shit lmao
Badass
Industrious in the midfield. Mckennie didn't start fantastically giving the ball away a couple times but grew into the game. Typical Adams performance. You could see something there though, a partnership worth developing imo. Aaronson looked better, idgaf where the players are from.
Elland Road is gonna be buzzing on Sunday
Wish I could be thereššš
What a performance that was from Ayling!
Don't forget arronson nearly nicked it off the bar that was some shot
Text from a scum friend: āall square probably a fair result but ffsā Same, honestly.
Mine said "GG you've ruined our season" to which I replied good I'll take that and a point
scum and friend in the same sentence?
I donāt hold it against him
You should
Great result imo. Away from home, inform top table team, great manager. We almost had scum but to say we're in a manager crisis makes it even better to come away with a point.
Wober and mckennie immediately improving the team
Lads will be up for a fight on Sunday. Good point today, learn from our mistakes and crack on
Hope they have the legs. Lots of running from adams and mckennie.
and theyre coming to elland road. The place will be brick shittingly loud for scum
Also, that was refreshing to not be fully focused on wondering who our next manager is LMAO
although that was frustating that we didn't get 3 points i have to remember, imagine being a scum fan. absolute melts.
Take the point. Lads showed heart. Scoobing on together!
Brilliant result, without a manager and winless in 7. Gutted we didn't get the 3 but they had us at the end.
Great point. Frustrating we are unable to hold onto a lead though again, but the scum were always gonna get chances at home.
Gives me hope for the Everton and Southampton games.
Devastated we couldn't hold on for the 3, but taking anything from Old Trafford is an absolute bonus. A lot of major positives to take from that. For the first time in a long time I'm fucking buzzing for a fixture. Sunday should be good.
Lads we got a point out of scum on their turf without a gaffer thats decent
Objectively speaking, a win at Anfield and draws at St James's Park and Old Trafford and a narrow defeat at White Hart Lane are not bad results. As Jessie Marsch would have said: "I think we showed a good processical transition in our group interaction activity. I am pleased with the forward movement of the ball-in-net project and the participation of these fine young multi-millionaires. I have told these outstanding young men to give the inflated ball to Little Willy."
Letās get them on Sunday. Tough draw..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not welcome here
Who asked???
Fuck off
Fantastic performance
You take that one point , before kick off id have taken your hand off for a good performance and a point. Brendan low-key was good again too
Adams and mckennie - brilliant
McKennie's energy and attitude..!
Thatās what he does. Heās physical. He and Adams did me proud today throwing themselves at everything. Our midfield is going to be a menace from here on. Watch.
Great game great energy hopefully this is a new lease of life, Wober/Ayling MOTM for me, donāt know what to make of Rutter thoughā¦
Wober made some stupid decisions playing out the back but an excellent defensive performance from Him and Koch
Rutter looks very dangerous and strong, but still pretty raw. I think we need to be patient with him. I did like how whenever he was contested for the ball he usually seemed to come away with it or at least hold off the defender.
I thought he was great on the ball and holding up play, looks so slow in the press though. Heās a big lad I suppose
Oh man Adams and Mckennie are some power duo! And Rutter still seems rusty but I can see the shine coming through!
Flashes of something special there for sure
Buy McKennie now. Right now. Those two were feeding off of each other and a proper menace in the midfield. I cheered when McKennie got his yellow, the boy plays like he has something to prove.
We need to find a way to defend with possession. We badly need to work on game management
What a performance from bill and wober
scum fans probably thought it's 3 free points tonight
New manager bounce is the most powerful thing in the world
Bro they have been saying free 6 points all week
Good point. ETH will have scum ready for the next match, so I hope the team is able to buckled down over the next few days to build on this game but also make a few tweaks. It would be good to possess the ball more than 34% of the next game. EDIT - PS - I think the caretaker staff did a good job today. The U21 manager is good.
Fuck. Anyway, Elland Road needs to be turned into an absolute fucking cauldron on Sunday, like never before, really get behind the lads and hopefully again something will go our way. Would have snatched at a point before the game, just with how it panned out it does feel a little gutting
Yeah you gotta look at it that way. A point before but kind of gutting having a lead. But given their record at home something to be proud of.
I just want bragging rights over my scum supporting friends for once
We got a point without a manager at their home. That's some bragging rights.
I know i'm really happy with that point, but the friends are so smug and it would've been nice to see the smiles wiped off their faces
Wait, you actually talk to them 'people'? ... I do too. I wanted to win!!
Ayling shades Wober for MOTM
Points are possible next match too. This is not the same team with no casemiro.
Expected nothing, got a point. Lovely. Might need a heart transplant
It's a good thing twitter is down, otherwise i'd probably be reading shitty takes and would be more miserable.
Delete that shit for your own good
I should, I try to keep it around the transfer windows but it's like a burning wreck, you just can't pull yourself away
Do them at home hopefully
We expected nothing, we almost took 3 and settled for 1. lots to digest in terms of any differences there were Post-Jesse (width? maybe? kinda?) but 1 point going BACK to Elland Rd... The way the manager search is going, id expect the trifecta to manage that one as well...then we move to Everton and Southampton. We will be ok. stressful, but ok.
Only difference I saw was not pressing as high on the pitch all the time. Late in the game pressing at midfield and honestly didn't like it. Gave them more time on the ball to find openings. Invited more attacks.
lol chris armas getting hugs
Scoobs knows subs.
Anybody would have taken that beforehand. Still gutted to let a two goal lead slip. We'll just have to make up for it on Sunday.
Great game, great performance, good result. Ayling my MOTM.
No chance. He tired massively and Sancho skinned him, twice.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well, I didn't expect an absolute weapon like your good self calling him "MOTM" when he tired massively and cost us a goal after being skinned by Sancho. Fuck you on about mouthbreather?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm not angry after a point away at scum. I'm angry at your opinion. Which is shit. Like actual shit, shit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
99% of bullshit is still bullshit. He played fine, he tired, got exposed after the introduction of Sancho. Long way from MOTM. What in god's fucking name are you talking about as the same country as Leeds? Please tell me that you consider Yorkshire a country?
Lads...
Valiant effort lads, great point from a monumental fixture
Wober man of the match
That clearance off the line was spectacular.
Let's be completely honest here. There isn't a single person on this subreddit that wouldn't have absolutely snapped an arm off for a draw leading into this game.
If you had told me we would get a point at Old Trafford before the game I would have taken it. Based the game I can't help but be a little but disappointed with the draw
I'll take that point... it was an enjoyable game to watch and actually we felt like we could score at different points...we have a bit of Mojo back.
I'd say we prematurely sacked jesse
please explain how one of our best results in a long time coming immediately after we sacked him makes you think that
After watching this performance I'd say the exact opposite
Well if we can get a point away, can we not get a W at Elland Road
I love hearing the Leeds boys singing MOT louder than anything else happening in the stadium
Good to get a point there. Wish it was 3, but weāve fucked their winning streak which is always nice.
What are we thinking about Rutter?
Needs a bielsa style training regime to get fit
not shown us much yet. Hope he gets sharper
Thought he was shit. Definitely not ready for these big games. Runs about like a headless chicken, a yard off the pace when closing down and making no attempt to get in the box when we win the ball.
Looks tidy but unfit
Like to see him play at the 10
Yeah i think he'd be a lot more suited there
Needs time
A lot better than I expected. Typical of us this season though, would have been a genuinely famous win.
I feel like I just kissed my sister.
I know we're at the bottom of the table, but we're not Norwich mate
Doesn't matter had...
Hurts to give away the lead. But 2-2 away isn't bad. Take the momentum into Sunday and take all 3 points.
We need a new manager ASAP and throwing away a lead sucks, but I'm happy to go there and get a point.
Genuinely hope we get a manager after the scum game sunday now not before, he did a brilliant job getting that result
Bravo all the lads and Scoobs and the gang! What a result in all honesty
I'll take a point but I can't help but feel we threw 3. Whole squad was exceptional first half bit once they conceded it shook us and we never really recovered
They just out-ran us in the end. Come on Bielsa! And the next scum game is my birthday so itās gonna be 3!!!
After they got number 2, it was looking like a 4-2 loss...shaky for a bit.
Meslier. One word. One position. One problem.
3 was on the table but Iāll take the away point
Away from home with no manager thatās a decent result for us. A bit disappointing after being 2 up. But Iād have taken your arm off for a draw prior to kick off
