[Albion] Premier League 12/09 - 14/09

The Leeds work rate has been phenomenal. Time will tell if they can keep it up. We do not play with that level of intensity.

I think it’s a mental thing. Neither our players or fans expect anything but defeat away against the elite clubs.

Hate to say it, but I enjoyed that. I don't think dirty will run out of steam, but the difference in class between the two leagues will take 'em a while to get used to......still want them relegated though

 

[portlock seagull]

Didn't we have more possession than Liverpool at anfield and play some lovely football (albeit struggling to score, as per)?

On another day, without the mistakes, Leeds would be 3 down already and looking like they'll concede more. Sooo....

On another day...but never the day?

How, by any stretch are Leeds doing well, they were gifted a goal and have defended like absolute morons.

 

[vagabond]

The Leeds team have shown good character. I’m impressed by that regardless of tonight’s outcome.

However Liverpool have gifted them these goals in my opinion. Plus I think having no crowd at Anfield massively negates the Scousers home advantage.

Credit to Leeds. Their fans are still deluded bellends though.

Exactly. Liverpool ran away with the league, Norwich were a car crash.

Today we’ve learnt that Leeds work rate is excellent, they have a bad defence and push loads of players up in attack.

Surely we knew that already? I think the key question is whether they will get found out. Bizarrely Liverpool seem not to have done much homework.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

This is why I wouldn't want to play the promoted teams first game or three. They'll run out of steam and we can go back to slagging them off

I might have miss quoted myself here, or used wrong words. Not out of steam, but they'll lose the kid in a sweet shop buzz

Leeds are already slowing up.

I'm predicting 5-2

 

[portlock seagull]

Either I'm being whooshed or you don't follow our games.. We played them at Anfield in November

M8sread your initial reply

 

[Bladders]

Norwich ran them close this time last year

Bamford scoring?

****ing disgrace.

I’m out.

If you’re going to stay up the one thing you need is defensive strength, the two centre halves for Leeds have looked awful, seen so many teams come up and ‘give it a go’ doesn’t often work, particularly if you can’t defend.

Entertaining first half. Leeds showing what they are about: running. They will keep going for 90 minutes, if you do some research on Bielsas training sessions you'll understand that they will be the fittest team in the league, with the negative side effect being that usually by the beginning of April his teams are just perma-exhausted.

Technically its obvious their players are pretty far below the league average meaning that if they go on any kind of poor streak and dont have the mental energy to run like crazy for 90 minutes, its going to be very difficult for them to win through skill and that poor streak could possibly go on forever.

Will be interesting to see second half. Liverpool probably need another goal as I think Leeds will probably take over in the last 15-20 when a normal team starts to get a bit tired.

You think Leeds will take over in the last 15 minutes? Liverpool are one of the best pressing and fittest teams in this league, surely chasing the ball against teams who are much better keeping the ball than the teams in the championship will be much more tiring.

I didn’t, as I didn’t watch Championship football really last season.

Liverpool’s defence has been awful since February. Even Watford, Brighton and Leeds taking it apart.

Hmmm your last sentence let's see. This ain't the chumpionship anymore.

Liverpool are looking a little rattled at being chased down at the moment. They are not keeping the ball as they like

Agree.......

I don't know about you lot, but I think this is hilario.

Unless it's Arsenal, Manchester Utd or Tottenham.
