ten haag didn't want him either.  man United insisted on 20m despite his contract being more than that.  they could have let him go and saved by getting his wages of the payroll.

before bashing it, Raphinia and Phillips wanted to leave and were allowed to go are they entitled to?  Haaland another that wanted to leave, Mane, Lewendowaki.   Ronaldo made his intentions clear 2 months in advance.

If it was that easy they would have done it.

You know there are plenty that goes on behind the scenes. Whose to say they didn't set up a deal for him to go and he declined because he didn't want it?

Equally, they could have let him go and had no back up, that wouldn't have been smart at all.

Phillips is a totally bad example because he is born and bred Leeds, been with us for years and given absolute blood, sweat and tears for us. Denying him the chance to go to the best club in the country, maybe even the world, would have been a bad play from us, he earnt that move and equally, he behaved in an impeccible manner that made us take a hit to let him get his dream.

Raphinha equally deserved his move for giving us his all for two seasons and didnt chuck the toys out the pram once when we were in our relegation battle. Both were well thought of and left the club on good terms.

Ronaldo is the polar opposite. He's been to the top, he's done all that, but he came back to Man U because he sees it as his club. Well, its great to see he thinks so highly of his club by disrespecting it at every turn because he's a whiny bitch when he doesn't get what he wants.

What he should be doing is accepting he isn't first choice, supporting his team mates and doing his best to get himself back in the team whilst behaving like someone that doesn't believe the world revolves around him.

With the greatest respect, I think you are pissing in the wind with your view here given 85-90% of the country will be criticising Ronaldo this morning for his actions but each to their own.

I didn't watch it though notice BBC website has Havertz as MOTM, looks more like Kepa for me. 

BBC are on crack. That was among one of Havertz most pathetic performances. 

Bloke seemingly gets worse and worse.

Leicester, bottom of the league.

Maddison, Ndidi, Evans, Soyuncu, Perreira out.

Vardy out of the team, out of form.

Rodgers facing the sack.

Cue Leeds United.

Leicester 1-0 Leeds (Barnes '88)

That's now how we roll these days, I'm afraid.

 

More likely to be a mistake-filled match, most of it from us. Maddison is pretty much our one and only creator. Defensive lapses in concentration allowing the likes of Rodrigo/Sinisterra/Bamford to get clear opportunities. Just up to you to finish them.

0-0 incoming then.

Has the Chelsea game been your only good performance? I watched the Arsenal game and you made it difficult for them, carving out some chances. But not seen much else. 

It's all set up for Bamford to have a worldie of a game and get his first goals of the season. That's how we roll xD

Could anybody on here who's knowledgeable on football tactics please tell me the point of bringing a substitute on with only a minute to go? I've NEVER understood it.

Timewasting.

I can't see it being like the Palace game cause I think Leeds will actually try and attack us a bit more.

I've been told our team is the same as Saturday but with Vardy and Praet in for Daka and Maddison.

No expectations. Just got to hope Leeds implode harder than us. I still can't take us remotely seriously under this manager who so blatantly wants the sack.

Leeds need a win again,  been since August.   They certainly deserved something on the weekend

Such a comfortable half until Gomez makes that challenge. Ended the half on the back foot.

Nunez has been great. Not far off having one of the best hatricks you'll see.

Darwin Núñez clocked a top speed of 38km/h tonight - beating Kyle Walker's record of 37.802 km/h in June 2020.

Lots of athleticism and heart from him but still a lot to improve in the rest of his game.

Chelsea was the best performance but Arsenal was a close second and we got nothing out of it.

There's been games where we have had good halves or spells like Palace away the other week. If we go in 2-0 up at HT, we are looking good but to dominate 1-0 up and let in a goal against the run of play, game then changes 2nd half. Had similar cases against Villa, Everton, Brentford...

We have got to start taking advantage when on top. The lack of goals has been an issue.

We did but ultimately you got to finish your chances and that shows where our problem lays this season.

Feel like if Bamford can get the monkey off his back, he might kick on.

Definitely, he's still raw but I think when he's settled he's going to be brilliant and will prove a lot of people wrong

Yeah, I gave him a lot of shit for getting that red card on his home debut... but he's raw but honestly looked really good yesterday. On another day he'd have had more than just one goal. If he keeps working hard and gets settled into this team, he'll fit in pretty nicely I think.

It also helps that when we play well... we play a lot better than when we don't play well. And I think we played pretty well yesterday. Not our best but really far from our worst I'd say.

First 40 mins was really good. After that not so much but we had moments in the second half. Back to back clean sheets and wins is nice though

Not conceding first in any match is relieving in itself considering how the season's gone - but 2 back to back clean sheets bringing us 3 points is brilliant tbh considering how we've conceded so early and often it seems.

Odd line up for Villa.

Cash on the bench.

Anyone's guess what formation they're actually going with & who is left back / wing back.

BBC website currently going with this:

Martinez

Young Konsa Mings Bednarek

Ramsey Luiz McGinn

Bailey Watkins

Ings

If it's a wing back formation, it's presumably between Bailey, McGinn & Ramsey who is on the opposite side to 37 year old Young.
