West Ham v leeds....
Shame about injuries...goal ! Now 2 1 ..Olay ayling ..you are ok up front attacking ..but in the first 30 mins Ayling gave the ball away 7 times ...he is a poor defender...West ham just had a chance ..Antonio and rice giving ayling the run around..pity no Phillips nor Cooper....ps James is not a centre forward..we will see how the game pans out .
Need to man mark Bowen ..⚽️⚽️
Second half ..Ayling is Useless sub him
. !!!
Update.. goal was good ..ball was going in anyway ..Rafinha and Harrison brilliant
Welcome HK!!
You old boy!! 65 years of highs and lots of lows, I have only done 55!!!
Ayling, like Coops and Dallas are so important to LUFC. They are mentors to the kids and new players and instill the LUFC DNA into anyone that comes into the fold.
You are right, James is not a lone striker but he plays there without complaint as there is no Bamford, Rodrigo, Roberts or Joffy.
He was fantastic on Sunday with his workrate and constant pressing.
Rafa may not go this summer. If Liverpool agree a new deal for Mo Salad, then they will not be looking at him and he would not want to go there anyway for 10-15 starts per season,
Man City have Foden and Mahrez in his position and probably see Haaland as their main target,
Chelsea may need to replace Lakuka,
Manure are losing Pogba, Matic, Mata, Lingaard and Grant on frees + Martial and maybe Henderson sold on too so will need to focus on other areas as they have Greenwood as their RM.
Arsenal have Saka and Pepe as thier RMs
Spurs? Levy is too tight to pay the right money.
Forget Real and Barca, they wont have the money
Bayern have just tied Colman to a new contract.
Juve, Inter or AC cannot afford him.
PSG? Maybe if they lose Mbappe but is it a challenge to play in France for a club that walks the league each year?
Maybe his agent has played the wrong game? Best for him to sign a new contract. If Rafa has a great world cup, then summer 2023 is the better option
Welcome HK and keep posting.... I'll look forward to reading your posts after we've lost a game to stir up some of our posters who agree with each other too much! 🙈🤣🙈🤣
I think some of our posters only slaughter me cause they think I'm fkn stupid for some unknown reason and Lord Foggycock because.... well just because they can.
15th March 1967... not that I wish to date you :-)
Welcome to the board
I first saw Leeds against Sunderland in an fa cup match ..I believe it's still the record attendance @ elland rd...I was only 10 years old...have supported Leeds ever since.. I am disabled ..could not get season ticket this year..go to away matches e.g. man city....possibly I a was a bit critical ...I am not the biggest fan of Ayling...he makes too many mistakes..if you replay the match you see how many misplaced passes he makes..he d be better up front ..and he does try hard..James was overpriced..certainly he is fast ..but a striker ..no.
.
But overall great performance ...Raphinha,Harrison,stroke all had excellent games..Raphinha is class .
I fear the Man city's,Liverpool and Chelsea s with their big bank balances will be queuing up to buy him...I hope not..We are safe now from relegation I think .
If Philips Cooper Llorente Bamford were all fit..I think we would have probably qualified for Europe..Marching all together ...the only way is up.
Ps I played football for 15 years before injury ended my playing days.
Come on HK tell us something about yourself
Ahh thats a bit over critical there hkprivate from what was an outstanding performance by all in white yesterday. Down to the absolute bare bones, picked up 2 more injuries in the first 20mins and to beat West Ham (in 4th) AWAY, jezz its a tough taskmaster that finds fault with that 3 points!!!!
Welcome to the board btw
