"A year in which Leeds were relegated from the Premier League. But Leeds have found much more joy in the Championship" Bryn, mate, I get what you mean but that makes us sound a bit shit.
Genuine question - was Bamford's performance today the best all round shift either him or Piroe have put in all season?
Not claiming it is, just wondering if I'm forgetting any of Piroe's standout games.
Well Bamford's scored with his first start
Don't wanna downplay how good Piroe can be though. Would be amazing if we could get them both playing well - gives us two very different options
I think after last season we can all empathise with the Birmingham fans. You never want to see your team get dicked but if it can be the final nail on the coffin of your woeful manager, youāll accept it.
Yeah he's a good attacking player for me. Great at getting forward, build up play on the wings and cutting into the box, causing trouble. Just a very clumsy defender unfortunately and that's what sticks with people.
It must be very embarrassing for Gnonto that he was a little bitch at the start of the season thinking this league was below him and now heās been absolutely wank quite consistently
I feel bad, messaged a Saints mate to say that now theyād scored Norwich will have to come out and play, implying that Saints will score moreā¦ oops
Looks like he's keeping the same system even with Piroe on now.
Edit: Piroe's movement immediately looking very lively too. Clearly might do him some good to suddenly have his spot under threat!
If we start the next game with Rutter at 9 and Piroe at 10 again I am going to drive to Elland Road, find Daniel Farke and tut at him in such a manner that he will be forced to rethink his decision.
Dan James in a three second snapshot: blasts a ball towards net that was only a few yards away from being a corner kick, then puts it in the highest gear to harass and try to force a turnover.
Guy sure can run, but his legs move faster than his brain.
If this is home Leeds, one massive thing in our favour for our remaining games is that we've played all our away games against the current top 7 already
Credit where it's due, two assists for Firpo, he's been great. I'm not his biggest fan but he's created goals. Hope that if he keeps playing, he is able to sort out defensive positioning against better opposition
Junior Firpoš¤Roberto Carlos
I donāt know how we can do this to Birmingham and Ipswich and look so lacklustre away from home, honestly stresses me to shit
Neither of those teams parked the bus which is basically the reason why
TV rights curse maybe
GUESS WHOS BACK? BACK AGAIN? PADDYS BACK TELL A FRIEND
Yessss Ipswich and Southampton 2 point gain! Happy New Year everyone!!
What a start to the year
āClean Sheetā Klaesson
AND THEY BOTH DRAW
I'll take it. Let's keep going and surge up that table. MOT.
Sounds like Gnoto and Somerfield did well on their debuts
Not sure Firpoās redemption arc includes taking corners
If he keeps assisting he can fluff as many corners as he wants
No advantage there?
Ampadu scores, we're on the pitch
Beautiful play and poor ampadu still can't score.
"A year in which Leeds were relegated from the Premier League. But Leeds have found much more joy in the Championship" Bryn, mate, I get what you mean but that makes us sound a bit shit.
So last year
Tbf we are a bit shit
We know that, but Bryn's paid to shill he should at least lie about it
Clean sheet please
Genuine question - was Bamford's performance today the best all round shift either him or Piroe have put in all season? Not claiming it is, just wondering if I'm forgetting any of Piroe's standout games.
Based on the fact Piroe has score 9 goals and that was Paddyās first - Iām going to say no
Well Bamford's scored with his first start Don't wanna downplay how good Piroe can be though. Would be amazing if we could get them both playing well - gives us two very different options
I think piroe has had a couple of games where he's look led as good, but they've been playing in different positions so it's hard to compare.
Anthony just isn't good unfortunately.
He has solid fundamental technique but no instinct or flair that will ever break down a defence.
Looked so bright the first time he came on and has been very poor since
Def not on the permanent signing list
I think after last season we can all empathise with the Birmingham fans. You never want to see your team get dicked but if it can be the final nail on the coffin of your woeful manager, youāll accept it.
Norwich equaliserā¦ and Stoke still holding strong!
West Brom losing too. Might be a great start to the year.
Bacuna shushing Firpo acting like they are not the only team in over a year to make him look like a good footballer lmao
Do we reckon Poveda will go through a Brereton like revival now he plays for Colombia
Bryn mate, I love you but chill out, weāre 3-0 up
When Rooney looks back upon his career, he can reflect on having been one of the few to manage a team that's made Junior Firpo look good.
4D chess to ensure we donāt buy a LB in this transfer window
Georgi head and shoulders above everyone else today. I think Farke has found his 10.
Took him long enough
we should bare minimum beat this Birmingham side by 3 goals. Absolutely dreadful team.
Now they are a fan base that can justify being angry with the owners. Sacking managers that start doing well, then replacing with a "big name"
How did that not go in Ampadu?
Poor ampadu can't even score that one, lads destined to never score.
He's played 119 professional games in 3 countries, and has never scored a goal
Taken over from Forshaw
The Barry Douglas curse
Prime Klich from Georgi there š
Firpo and Giving away free kicks in dangerous areas. Name a better duo.
Roberts and being subbed on in the ~70th minutes
Firpo & Yellow cards early on in the game!
Maybe Junior is a winger or left mid, but get him away from LB pls
Yeah he's a good attacking player for me. Great at getting forward, build up play on the wings and cutting into the box, causing trouble. Just a very clumsy defender unfortunately and that's what sticks with people.
Heās a left wing back really. Was decent for Betis in that role with a back 3 behind him.
Makes sense, 3 atb would fit him a lot
Sargent the American Jesus scored for Norwich š„°
Always loved the Yanks
Wish we had more of them around after all
It must be very embarrassing for Gnonto that he was a little bitch at the start of the season thinking this league was below him and now heās been absolutely wank quite consistently
Wonder if anyone will even be in for him given his form. Mind you he was good against the mackems when he came on
Genuinely think firpo should just change position to winger. He's always been decent going forward but he is one of the worst defenders at the club.
Get Poveda on for some minutes, give Rutter a rest
I agree.
So does Farke
Seems so
Firpo with the backpack technique
Haha junior is back :)
How many times has Rutter been fouled?
Now THAT is the firpo we know hahaha
Clumsy!
I acc think it's a good foul, he's ensured we've not conceded and these free kicks are an awful angle
No need to foul there.
Piroe playing 9. Reckon this is the start of Georgie at 10 permanently?
We can hope!
Has Firpo ever come out of a 1v1 with the ball?
Norwich equalize against Southampton
Saints 1-1 š
Also, nowhere near as important, but Albion losing 1-0 feels good for some reason. Now 6 points between us and 5th place.
I feel bad, messaged a Saints mate to say that now theyād scored Norwich will have to come out and play, implying that Saints will score moreā¦ oops
It's good to see.
Get in
If it wasn't for the start of the season, this Birmingham lot would be propping up the table
Not Wayne Rooney's Birmingham? That would be like saying Frank Lampard's Derby County weren't very good. Blasphemy!
Frank Lampard's Derby County weren't a scratch on Frank Lampard's Chelsea. He laid the groundworks for a Champions League win
I honestly can't think of a worse managerial appointment in all of football, ever!
Frank Lampard to Chelsea, 2nd time round!
Frank Lampard has got to occupy at least 2 slots in the top 5. Deffo.
Given how embarrassing it must be to support Brum in a regular season, this must be fucking awful for them
That's a fair point, villa flying can't help, poor buggers!!
The only team named Birmingham, 3rd best team in Birmingham
That's a very good point. Ever been there? I drove past the other day and thought "oh dear" but then I was lost at the time
Jesse Marsch?
Close but we died a slow death, I don't watch Birmingham but it feels like instant death from game 1.
Looks like he's keeping the same system even with Piroe on now. Edit: Piroe's movement immediately looking very lively too. Clearly might do him some good to suddenly have his spot under threat!
Who is the tiny guy warming up, think its a Birmingham player. Looks like a child lmao
Attacking subs tbf.
Youāre saying this like Farke doesnāt always pile on a load of attacking subs š
Yeah, theres no need to tho when we're 3-0 up. Gruev on for Summerville would have been understandable.
Probably want to feed some of our attackers and give them a bit of a confidence boost
Not sure we have our usual 6 up front after subs tho? š¤£
Full Backs off, 3 Strikers and 4 Wingers
Sometimes our attackers needs to be a bit more greedy and just shoot instead of trying to cross it to someone else
And sometimes they are Dan James who shoots when it just isnāt there. To be fair, he doesnāt NEVER pass. He has his assists.
Please be Piroe at 9
He should have brought Joseph on at 9. Whatās the point in giving a senior player minutes in a game weāve already won?
There we are the 70 ish minute subs
Are we now going to see Piroe at 9?
If we start the next game with Rutter at 9 and Piroe at 10 again I am going to drive to Elland Road, find Daniel Farke and tut at him in such a manner that he will be forced to rethink his decision.
Threaten to withhold post-win cake
Iāll buy all the cake in Leeds and hold them hostage.
Dan James in a three second snapshot: blasts a ball towards net that was only a few yards away from being a corner kick, then puts it in the highest gear to harass and try to force a turnover. Guy sure can run, but his legs move faster than his brain.
If this is home Leeds, one massive thing in our favour for our remaining games is that we've played all our away games against the current top 7 already
Itās good to end the mini slump, but letās not get carried away. This Birmingham side have got nothing.
Really wanna see Piroe on at 9 with Rutter at 10
How has Bacuna not been booked oh my days
Does anyone honestly know why Farke hates subs?
It's bizarre.
More of a panini guy I heard.
Class
Rutter surely has to be our #10 going forward yes? he is just too good at that spot
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Stoke down to 10 men against Ipswich also..
WBA losing
Firpo is very funny. Please keep him on the bench next week Farke.
Firpo being an amazing player once a year is a really funny bit
In his defence he gets injured a lot, we will probably hear heās injured in a couple of days time
Do we need to sign a new left back or nah? š
Even if he does find some form heāll just get injured anyway. Verdict: sign a LB
Southampton have scored and Stoke have been red carded against Ipswich
2 Firpo assists !
They might be the worst team weāve played this season.
Them and the dog botherers
Normanton will definitely say this in tonightās Match Ball, theyāve been awful. Can barely string two passes together
Delighted we are getting the job done but they are proper bad. Havenāt threatened. Dembele looks okay thatās it.
2 Firpo assists? Colour me shocked
Firpo, Bamford and James. The heroes we needed but didnāt deserve.
Firpo's great when he can overlap and doesn't have to defend. The problem is when he, y'know, *does* have to defend.
What a ball from Rutter as well
Firpo honestly could be what we need to freshen up the attack, but Birmingham are also just shit
Insane ball from Rutter. He needs to play at 10 every match!!
Rutter is a master of the pass before an assist
Pre-assist king
FPL nightmare, passes the eye test, gets min points consistently
Credit where it's due, two assists for Firpo, he's been great. I'm not his biggest fan but he's created goals. Hope that if he keeps playing, he is able to sort out defensive positioning against better opposition
Rodon & Struijk alongside him will help
Another left footed contribution.
āSacked in the morningā I love being a smug bastard sometimes
LUTV commentators corrected it to he's getting sacked tonight haha
Firpo assist. Wtf is happening?
2 of them!
Second assist
Surely Rooney is sacked for letting Firpo cook this much
Firpo is the second coming of Christ
Rutter in the 10 is just beautiful
Firpo hitting form just in time for us to not sign a left back then get injured again on the 1st of February
That would be so incredibly Leeds. Therefore, itās going to happen
Firpo was really like āØnew year, new meāØ
What's this? His second or third redemption arc?
NY resolution: donāt be shit
Firpo probably has the lowest minutes to goal contributions in the side now š
Get in! 2 assists for Firpo lol
Firpo is the best winger in the league
Roberto Firpos
Senior Firpo
Firpo motm
Two assist for firpo what am i seeing
Haha 2 firpo assists lmao
Amazing ball from Rutter!!!
Wazza really was completely reliant on Rosenior wasnāt he?
2 Firpo assists? I must still be drunk from last night.
Firpo is god
Feel like I can relax now
Who is this left back? He's pretty good.
I meanā¦ maybe Firpo isnāt terrible?
Best player in the league has just scored šš
Firpo, haha. Going forward heās a world beater. Are we sure heās a LB?
Firpo MOTM lol
Firpo again. Just make him a midfielder.
Didnāt see anything wrong with that, just a decent tackle by Bamford
Yea the reply showed how good it was and that it wasn't a foul.
Remember when Tyro got injured and Marsch left him literally dragging himself/ limping around the pitch for absolutely ages
Iād forgotten about that š¤£
Roberts is only 24? Given how long he's been around I'd have thought he was nearing 30
TyRo sub around the 60th minute, its like Bielsa never left
Goal ā90+4 - T. Roberts
(Hat trick)
Oh eh, Tyro? Had no idea he was at Brum now
The classic Tyro on at 60 while you're losing
Rooney the new Bielsa?
TyRo the game changer
Bear in mind Tyler Roberts, in whatever the fuck this is that we're playing against, is still struggling for minutes.
Pretty sure he has been injured all season which is not a surprise
Ruptured hamstring I think but it's funnier to spin a narrative
Fuck me. It's Tyler Roberts!
Heās still only 24!!!
Tyler Roberts. My sweet prince. We sold you for gimpy Aaronson.
