chicagoblue Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Well decent performance. Apart from one moment of terrible defending and poor finishing from Dom we would've had all three today Elston Gunnn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Good job by Mina there at the end. Hopefully it's him and Godfrey in the next match. chicagoblue and nyblue23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblue23 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Despite all the weird shit he did, Mina was immense today. Close second to Gray for best player on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 On the balance of things, I guess a draw makes sense. Doucoure has to have an extra gas tank in him. Seems to get better as the game goes on. Thought Gray looked very well, MOTM for me. Keep Delph as far away from the pitch as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I would have taken that at the start but can’t help thinking we should have won that Keane’s fuck up and Dom’s one on one miss have cost us.

Bailey Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 What a header and block that was from Mina at the end. He had a really good game in the end. It was all a bit bonkers! Dom will be looking back at that game thinking he should have won it. I think he did what he could with the first chance but he should score the second. The more Iwobi and Gray got in the game, the better we played. The goal started with Iwobi and whilst I am not sure how he did it, Gray found the corner. Both played well IMO. Allan was a little scrappy at times but full of effort and Doucoure covered every blade of grass about 20 times. I found the sub of Delph to be a little strange, maybe Rafa was worrying about Raphina and wanted to shut him down a bit more. Not that it really worked. Once again it was much better team performance than last season but we still need to start creating more chances. Defensively we are really solid.

Finn balor Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Should have won the game but let’s get this right. They were playing their first game in the prem infront of their fans. We limited them to a few chances and we were a constant threat on the counter in the second half. We get a couple of players in and we are going to have a good season. I’m all in if that’s what we are going to play like this season. I’m happy. Allan was a beast today for me. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblue23 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Also, I thought the ref did well in the first half, but the second half was ridiculous. I'm pretty sure there was a handball in the buildup to Rafinha's goal for one, but the fact that in a physical game like that one, we had 13 fouls to Leeds' 6 is pretty shocking. A lot of poor calls against us in the second half. dunlopp9987, Gwlad and pete0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Toffee Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 we had our chances.. dcl with chance for two more,, Keane was very poor but will gladly take the point and move on..

markjazzbassist Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just got back from the charity event and I saw the result.

Bailey Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just watched the second goal again. One of Keane, Digne or Coleman should have cleared the ball into the box. Once Leeds get it in that position, I think it is difficult to get out to Raphina quick enough. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I think we were pretty poor in the first half again, but not as bad as last week. The ball wasn't sticking up front at all, I thought DCL was quite bad at being a target man and we really struggled to get on the ball and then when we did we were crap with it and usually just gave it away again quickly. Second half we were more steady than anything and did manage to create enough chances to have won the game. So in that respect (creating chances) we're already looking better than a lot of last season. DCL not putting his chances away and Keane being a fucking moron cost us the three points IMO.
