    This has been so disappointing
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    We just can’t string a couple of passes together to create a move worthy of the name, it all looks a bit random and haphazard whenever we have the ball
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Too many changes, with players out of form coming in. As expected we are disjointed
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    We need to change it up a bit if we are to get anything out of this game, Leeds simply have more about them.

    We need to challenge more in midfield and look to use the ball more purposefully when in possession,

    I feel like I must be watching a different game to everyone else. To me, this has been really even. They've had more ball, but that's normal for us. We've had a couple of very good chances, so have they. They've had some hairy moments defensively and on the ball, so have we. I don't think there's much in it.

    That said, I'd have one of Potts & Magassa off for Pablo, and maybe the other one also off for Soucek.

    We have been bossed in the middle, all 3, Potts, Fernandes and Magassa, outplayed and look off it....
    KWP being run ragged by Okofar....

    Areola has made a few fine saves....

    Soucek needs to come on IMO, anyhow we're still in it, so COYI.....

    We are not out of it but Leeds look dangerous on their left. We are not holding much in midfield. Need Soucek and Pablo on to set the tempo
  • alderzalderz
    I don't think Fernandes is being outplayed - he's out of position, IMO. He needs to be deeper, because he's always more effective from there, and we are as a result too.

    Must be, Potts and Magassa have been awful, passing from them is woeful and they kill the tempo of the game, neither impose themselves on the game and constantly look to offload the ball to Fernandes and if he isn't there, they are making aimless passes or going backwards. They need to get aggressive and press with everyone else.

    IMO he should be able to adapt a bit....anyway, I'm sure Nuno will make a change or 2, so.....COYI.

    I don’t feel it’s been even at all, we created two chances from quick breaks but they are controlling the ball and regularly breaking at us through the middle of the pitch, whereas we are struggling to keep hold of the ball for more than a couple of passes.

    I really want to win this but also if this is the kind of team Nuno would put out in the semis we might as well go out today, as that will be even more disappointing and painful.

    He does adapt. 99% passing accuracy, 1 chance created, 82% passing accuracy in the opposition half. Anyway, expecting someone to just 'be able to adapt' is a bit backwards, why not just put our best player in his best position?

    Good, Pablo and Soucek on for Potts and Magassa
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Looks like we got our wishes, looks like Magassa and Potts are off for Pablo and Soucek
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    As we all called it, Soucek and Pablo on for Magassa and Potts.

    Sorry @alderz didn't know that information, I just say it how I see it.....Stats eh....

    I know it's not a usual thing, but changes have to be made so that that sort of tackle on Traore is a red.

    The guy came down on the back of Traore’s Achilles there, horrible challenge
  • Dodger58Dodger58
    Deliberate, dangerous foul play
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Yep. Cynical, dirty Leeds.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Traore taken down by an old school Leeds tackle
  • alderzalderz
    If we can't win, let's at least have a few more key Leeds players go off injured
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    Thought that the Tatty offside was really close. Should have gone to VAR.
  • alderzalderz
    Disasi's been a really good signing for us
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    We look a bit better balanced this half
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Taty hits the post from a brilliant Traore cross
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Aaargh.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Taty was soooooo unlucky there - he has been a live wire tonight, would love to see him get one
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Taty hits the post from about 5 yards out, he has to score.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    On the replay….he really should have scored that
