Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted August 5, 2018 3-1 win for Leeds and it's happy days for @Lucas, not so for @Dickie. Leeds 100% deserved the 3 points though. They'll be great to watch under Bielsa if today is anything to go by. Strong defence, midfield and attack playing quick, one-touch, free-flowing football at times. Goal threat in Roofe with Saiz supplying his other attacking players. Not a bad young keeper in Bailey Peacock-Farrell either. Douglas and Ayling were great on each flank, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 The first couple of games after relegation are the hardest. Players are still low in confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots 607 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I don’t think it’s easy to bounce back at all now, I think Rafa sorted Newcastle out otherwise they would still be down here. I think Stoke & the Baggies will struggle initially before they get back into the grove.. Swansea look ok so far Leeds are my pick for promotion as champions. Forrest need more I’m not having it they’re going up. Villa/ Brentford/ Derby/ Stoke / Millwall / Swansea / Boro / Baggies are all playoff runners & riders.

Eco 3,008 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Leeds were clearly the better team, and looked like true title contenders. It was great to finally see this Leeds team control the game against another strong team, and the crowd and stadium looked awesome. Congrats to @Lucas, I know it's just the start, but damn what an inspiring way to start off the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc 570 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Reasonably happy with an away point in the circumstances. Hernandez could have a good season, them goals will give him plenty of confidence. Both well taken after very good runs. We have a fans favourite vacancy after Maddison's move and Herndanez is an early front runner to slot in. Farke needs to take the shackles off and play with more creativity in midfield. Fuck knows why Stiepermann played. Jamal Lewis in for Husband next game too. We had the minimum 7 homegrown players in the squad, which could be problematic throughout the season. Any more incomings surely need to tick the homegrown box.

Eco 3,008 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 While very funny, that is also extremely impressive that he is obviously working on learning the language. From my perspective, the biggest problem people have in learning a new language is the fear of using it with locals and being 'embarrassed'. Obviously not the case here and so I'm rather impressed! Kudos to Bielsa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hull take the lead! Evandro loops in a shot from the edge of the box.

Couldn't control the ball, backed off for Hutton's goal and I think he was the guy who got caught under the ball and didn't mark Elphick for the first goal. Very poor from him and Hull overall.

Fairy In Boots 607 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Good result, Hull are in a relegation battle as they’re Gash with a capital G. Still expect signings because it’s same old from Villa, lump it to Kodjia. It’s only good enough to beat the dross of the league, I think we’ll get done by Swansea & Leeds, but I expect to be a challenge to everyone else. Probably get beat in the playoff final again by a footballing side. It’s like shitting in your hand and clapping watching Steve Bruce football.
