Watched the game again slightly more sober than yesterday.
Yep Harrison didn`t do too bad.
Agree Dawson should have been a red and right decision for Jonny.
The pen could have gone either way as could our fourth goal.
Funny how the opposition never see their own teams luck.
Bamford and Firpo probably the worse of our lot.

I thought ayling really struggled again. harrison was good for me

Re. Ayling. I`m thinking he scored the goal and was playing some good balls.
Bottom line is he`s too slow along with Firpo.
Love to have something like the 2 FB`s Fulham have.
And whilst on that I would ban Mitrovic for 10 games after he grabbed the ref and got in his face.
Swearing at the linesman and ref in most games is common place in football and if they got booked or sent off it might stop them.

Yeah as much as I’ve loved Ayling his best days are well behind him. It shows how poor we are at RB that he’s our best option still. That must be sorted if we stay up. Same with LB. We’ve been saying it for last 18 months. We’re very weak in those areas especially defensively.

Mitrovic misses some key games as they play bottom 3 next I believe. Hopefully he’s banned for an extended period as then we play them after that

The central midfield still needs addressing, we won't be able to control games until we get at least a couple of midfielders who can keep the ball under pressure. I think JG knows that and it's why we're happy to stay organised and let the opposition have the ball.

Yes couldn't agree more. Roca is the only one who's any ability on the ball but he lacks a bit of physicality imo, he's a bit weak at times. You can see that the midfield has been designed for a RedBull system (I still can't beleive Orta thought that was a continuation of Bielsa ball) and that needs to change next year. We're in desperate need of a Maddison type player.

I see Rutter didn't get a sniff again.. shows Gracia thinks he's well off the pace still.

I really do like what Gracia is doing here.
He knows we do not have the ability to play a RB style of football and knows our limitations.
With the appointment of JM I`m thinking Orta was trying to appease the fans and bring in a similar manager to Bielsa.

On another subject my mate who hates MU don`t we all.
Is saying Fulham had 3 sent off as the ref originates from Ashton Under Lyne Greater Manchester and was helping out MU.
No idea how he can defend either of the players getting sent off and if it was me Mitrovic should be banned until the end of this season.
Just shows though how some Leeds fans see things they want to see.
However had he said that Fernandez should have been banned for pushing a linesman a few weeks ago then he would have been correct.
Sorry going off the thread here.
