I agree about bamford.
I think we forget rutter is so young but he loses it too much for me

For me we are lacking that aggression up front.
We are great at the flicks, the tipsy topsy fairy stuff in the box.
But when it comes to the selfish head down and put your laces through it we shy away.
A top striker goes with any foot he thinks will get him a goal.
They don`t wait for it to come on their favoured foot.
Bamford has missed to tap ins by wanting to score with his left instead of his right.
He should be scoring those goals with his dick never mind his preferred foot.
Jamie Vardy for instance uses his footballing brain to get a goal.
Rutter`s another one who creates plenty but needs to be a bit more selfish and go it alone sometimes.
Not sure I`ve articulated it well enough but I know what I mean

Ha! Agree mate. Bamford is streaky and can look good at times but he’s not a natural goal scorer. He’s not aggressive enough. I like the look of young Joseph, strong quick and has some aggression. Could develop into a very handy striker. If Rutter wants to make it at the very top level he needs to keep possession a bit better and improve his goal scoring. But the lad is only young and has big potential imo

yep. which idiot said it wasnt other teams cup.finals?

Some idiot suggested that playing Leeds teams raise their game - perhaps it that Leeds are on occasions - like Saturday just below par and other teams just play at their normal standard. Hull/Coventry/Watford didn't raise their game, Leeds were just poor in all three games. Shame some "experts" can face reality.

Could be missing Ampadu tomorrow and Roberts not fully over his injury.
Not looking forward to Cooper playing at the centre of defence.

no but we should dominate possession.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Wed Apr 10, 2024 6:53 am  

Another "cup final" where Leeds weren't able to perform anywhere near their potential. This run of poor form has come just at the wrong time.

One/two blatant penalties not going their way didn't help. With a midfield that passes backwards more than forwards it will always be difficult to penetrate a team who main objective is not to lose.

An interesting 4 games coming up - Farke has to earn his money and pick teams that are capable of winning games not just dominating possession.

Didn’t play well but very very unlucky last night. Worst decision I’ve seen in a long time not giving that penalty. Left it too late to make changes. Joseph and Gnonto t should start Saturday.

Probably need to win at least 3 from last 4 now. Leicester are wobbling big time though imo..

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:41 am  

As I posted the other week, the international break has absolutely changed our momentum. The amount of corners we had to produce virtually no shots on goal is worrying. Can’t afford to slip up this Saturday.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:53 am  

I think there's been a big overreaction judging by social media. It wasn't a great performance, but it was an improvement on Coventry. I would have liked to have seen subs sooner, but we have to remember Gnonto and Roberts were supposed to be out for 3 weeks, so they probably can't do more minutes. Having said that, I hope Gnonto is fit to start on Saturday. I'd start Joseph too. He'd give us some extra intensity, if nothing else.
Sunderland were very solid out of possession and really limited the space between the lines. I think that's 4 clean sheets in the last 6 for them now.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:35 am  

at this stage it's points not performances. the officials do their job it's 2 penalty and 3 points. disgracful from supposedly premier league officials
