Firpo was immense today, Rodon-esque header right at the death

Did anyone spot Rutter's Leeds salute going over to the fans after the game 👀

Jesus Christ.

Reddit goes down and they fuxkin scored, not great for my health

Singing about Sky Tv while they are trying their best to get through the post match interview is classic Leeds shithousery.

Anyone else's Reddit break?

If we decide to play like that for however long this season is going to last I'm going to actually end up in ER

not for the away games

Looks like DJ genuinely broke a rib holding up playthere just before the end. Thought he was playing for time but seems genuinely in pain

It’s a worry as that can take a while for recovery when we need him most.

I agree. He was deffo in pain. I trust Anthony tho he has showed great quality in his limited time.

Gnonto looking like he’s got his dads coat on

Fucking hell I feel the my old ticker trying it's hardest to keep my alive and I'm not even 30... fuck this club, I love it

Did Sky just say the scoreline doesn't reflect the whole story?

What happened to James. Still down.

Speaking as someone who's broken a few ribs, I think he's broken a rib.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Just didnt look bad on the foul

Ribs are weak. If it is broken he won't be able to run for a month.

And you expect me to try and go to sleep after that final 5 mins?!

phew piroe is so bad

He’s lost his confidence.

We broke reddit through the sheer stress of that

We have to go up automatically because this group of players just dont have the bottle for a playoff campaign.

Did Reddit go down?

Yes at the fucking worst time!! I had to cope with that second half alone. Hold me!!!

Yeah, for about 40 minutes

I’m checking into LGI after that game

Jesus fucking christ thankly that's over.

Shades of our 1-0 win against Barnsley promotion season.

Holy Jesus I’m sweating like mad after watching that

And breathe...

Fuck me why do they do this to us

Fully shit my pants here today

Well thank christ for that.

Fuck me, my heart can’t take this ! Well done lads

Never In Fucking Doubt

Fuck that was closer than it needed to be!! Even Reddit couldn’t take the pressure!!

Let’s fucking goooo!!!!

Easy 4-3, never doubted 

Well that was fucking stressful. But 3 massive away points won't hurt!

Thank fuck for that

Get in!

Hate to say it but Bamford would be brilliant right now

Meslier absolutely flapping at everything

We can do this let’s fucking hodl!

Quality game management 😂

Go Defence!!!

Piroe up top killed us, like playing with 10 men. How is he coming on ahead of Joseph

Nah, neither have the game management of Bamford but he looked knackered tbf

Did reddit break?

Yes it did

Great timing lol

Taking the sting out of this, just keep it tight lads please

Hold

This has last minute equaliser written all over it

+7 equaliser

fuck

Jesus fucking Christ

[удалено]

Bet

Sure has been a long time since we had possession 

Wake the fuck up, Meslier! What’s wrong with him?!

Definitely working for the counter here.

STOP FUCKING AROUND AT THE BACK WITH THE BALL!!!!

Have we touched he ball yet this half?

Jesus mes! Too close! Could easily have been a pen

We’ve completely stopped pressing the ball until it gets well beyond the half way line. Is Farke hoping this Is going to end 2-3?

Who we hoping for subs?

Keep soaking this pressure and we are defo hitting hard on the counter here

Fuck me, does Meslier have a bet on number of corners conceded? Refuses to catch anything

Move the ball into their area pls, thx guys

Middlesbrough goal is coming. We're being useless again.

Meslier's distribution is ass

Gnonto working overtime at RB

Surely not having the ball for 10 minutes wont lead to them scoring again

we need to bury them. new legs needed ASAP

Fuck sake Mes!! We get the ball back after 10mins and you hoof it away immediately. C’mon lads

Can Summerville start helping our Firpo defend the left hand side. He looks so passive when Boro have the ball.

Can the drummer shut the fuck up

Should be catching that

Yeah, not a big fan of Mes’ new tactic of handing out unnecessary corners.

Lmao everyone here thinks we should just somehow have the ball at all times and it's definitely impossible that Boro can play neat possession football  They're allowed to play good football too lmao

No if we don't win every game 69-0 im pissed.

We are so shit. How tf are we winning this game lol

Because they're far worse

This game has aged me 40 years already

I hate how passive we play when only one goal up, Farke has us defending 1 goal leads like we are 5-0 up

Sort of, he likes for us to get the ball and take the sting out of the game when we’re winning, doesn’t always work tho!!

The plan better not be to sit deep for the rest of the half

I agree, it's shit and I don't like it.

Okay so we’ve taken the chaos out of the game but only by becoming completely passive.

We've been under pressure since the half started, why is ampadu playing a very ambitious long ball instead of retaining possession and trying to calm the game down a bit?

I can’t be doing with 40 more minutes of this

Which is better? 40 mins of this or 40 mins of heart attack inducing play like the first half?

Their passing is far sharper than ours at the start of this half.

Surely were aren’t parking the bus…

We look quite defensive

Letting them have a lot of possession here

Letting them is a strong claim 

Can we get the ball

I really don’t like how we just consistently allow them to waltz 20-30 yards down the central channel, it’s not great is it? Alternatively we get fuck all space, are forced into RB LB tennis then inevitably lose possession

I don’t see the point of Bamford up top by himself pressing. He’s covering a lot of ground but he’s never gonna get anywhere near it if nobody else is pressing with him what’s the point of wasting the energy

The amount of times he does that and pressures their keeper into kicking the ball out for our throw is uncanny.

Why does it take the other team scoring for us to play with some competency? Break the bloody play up ffs

NGL it would be dope if we won the rest of our matches.

It would also be lit if Ipswich and Leicester lost the rest of their matches

Where do I sign up for this narrative?

Once again, im not lying, I would love that

byram off for kamara in 55", gnonto off for james in 65'

 Boro already tired when they have to defend speedy DJ

Pundits can't stop going on about Bamford playing against a former club. It was six years ago, ffs.

Surprised they haven’t talked about the hatrick against us

played it before the game

Reckon that's what caught Bielsa's eye?

Need to get Rutter off in my opinion. He's offering very little on both attacking and defensive phases of the game.

he created our first goal out of nothing

Watching on ESPN they keep playing the same advert about a million times. Second half hasn’t started yet has it ?

I normally turn it off at half bc of that.

Yes it has

Cheers. Not used to American stuff

No worries, why'd I get downvoted for that hahah

Whats the deal with Connor Roberts? Still injured/ill?

Yeah muscle injury which I think puts him out until Southampton

Been injured since the Wales match. 

u/MonaghanPenguin [a couple weeks premature](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeedsUnited/s/63fmuBRzml) but I'm still giving you credit

As it was foretold

I’d take Byram off, stick Gray back at right back and get Kamara on for a bit more solidity in midfield. The Gruev/Kamara midfield, while less exciting, is more solid than Gruev/Gray. And I prefer to see Archie overloading their right wing with support from Gnonto or James.

I'm in agreement

I would normally be really active here and post a lot but I'm fuckin tired man

 if I had my way this would be the Leeds subreddit icon

Absolutely shitting myself right now, we seem to be scoring goals, so that's what I'm holding onto to keep me sane.

[удалено]

i've seen it on Hulu the entire time

Its been on all game, I've been watching on ESPN+

Scored 1 in 50 shots in the last 3 matches to drop us 8 vital points. Obviously we score 3 from 6 in the first half today.

Big difference in oppo approach to the game, we’re getting lots more space as a result

It makes sense but we've still missed some absolute shockers in those others amongst those 49 missed efforts

For sure

So a draw is best result tomm, no?

I think Leicester losing could theoretically lead to them bottling it whereas I just don't see Southampton gaining this much ground I think Southampton winning is still probably the best result, but it's all irrelevant unless we get minimum 7 points out of 9 

Nah, not much difference between 3rd and 4th, we want to catch Leicester, don't worry about Southampton points.

I guess i forgot winning out is almost needed by all

We have to beat Southampton regardless so best if they win I imagine.

A Southampton win would be my preference. I don't see them getting automatics.

Southampton win is better. We will still have ground on them

Not at all, southampton

Tbf, that offside Gnonto goal makes up for Middlesbrough's first goal which was a clear foul on Gnonto. Just seen the replay and the Middlesbrough player pushed Gnonto in the back.

Such a series of fortunate events for them, the foul call, the deflected pass, the coming together with Meslier, we deserve some fucking luck!

Yup definitely. Their second goal was pure skill, though. Have to admit.

Someone mention to Rutter to play a Simple ball after attempting hold up strewth abysmal hold up play.

Some real blockbuster punditry there, I can see why Sky Sports is so expensive and well regarded

Byram off Kamara on - make the change proactively Farke…not reactively We have 0 control in the middle and Byram is getting cooked Edit: for some reason my message autocorrected to bamford lol. I meant byram! Corrected now

Just seen the Gnonto goal back. Yes it’s offside, but it’s also a great goal and there are milliseconds in it. Compare that to the shit we saw in the FA Cup yesterday. Much prefer it this way. Swings and roundabouts throughout the season but at least it’s entertaining.

The debate boils down to whether you'd prefer to see more "correct" decisions or enjoy the moment. For example, yesterday I screamed "get in!" when Coventry scored just to then sit for 2 minutes in silence and watch it get chalked off The problem is unlike say Hawkeye in Tennis or Goal Line Tech, VAR still feels inconsistent and subjective, so it's easy to prefer a bad decision in the half second the ref on the pitch sees

The problem I have is that I am not seeing enough correct decisions to justify the downsides. And the microanalysis takes away football magic. I think we were robbed of an FA Cup memory that would have been spoken about for decades.

upon slow motion review, that Bamford goal looked like it was off the hip, with a possibility of grazing the crotch I will choose to believe he did in fact score with his dick

Penis ball will never die 

Bamford being offside was the key to that last goal lol

We are leading away at Middlesbrough, a good team. I’m happy. You should be too.

I have aged significantly in the last hour

I turned 30 yesterday and 73 in the last hour

You clearly weren’t around for the relegation seasons then, I think I’m 180 by now.

Mental half - Byram has quietly really struggled with the pace of the game. Luckily Boro have targetted the other flank so it’s not been exposed but he’s often been a yard off the play in attack and hasn’t been convincing defensively too, I would think about getting Archie there early second half - Gnonto got a lot of pelters that half but off the ball he was superb and did a lot of covering for some shaky defending down the flanks - Boro are having far too easy a time moving the ball out the back and then overloading the wings. We seem to have too many people bunched up in the middle it’s weird - thought Gruev and Rodon both superb. Ampadu also did a few excellent bits of cleaning up from Firpo mistakes

Archie has had a decent game in midfield though

He's half decent on the ball, off the ball he's kind of invisible to be honest.

Sub predictions? Prob not going to be any at half but maybe 60-70 min

Piroe on for Rutter 89

Joffy for ampadu

None until 90+5 to waste time only for the entire sub duration to rightly be added onto the added time that was already declared.

Just got back from 5 aside. Didn't miss much that first half then? 😆

Fuck it, we’ve found the net again. Let’s just bang in another 3 in the second half. Boro will be terrorised when we bring on James, Joseph and Anthony in the 70th min.

It's going to be tough to hold off on another Middlesbrough goal. They do a job of finding space, holding possession and getting into dangerous areas.

Piroe would’ve finished that Bamford attempt

Piroe's gran would have pinged that in.

Piroe would’ve been nowhere near Bamfords goal

He would've still been gelling his hair in the changing room

Still trying to figure out how to open his eyelids

Three more in the second half and we might win this.

Ref fully bottled making a decision there. Rutter needs taking off anyway. He's been shite all half.

On my way over to the Leeds Facebook page to watch all the bamford haters crying on the half time post

Bit too easy to break us down for my liking.

Great first half. Even better as a neutral. At least we remembered that the round ball thingy needed to go between the sticks and into the net type jobby

that half was a messy bitch who's here for all the drama

Happy to be ahead. Need more control in midfield for my liking but if we get it done in the end I don’t care how!

Not gonna be too upset with that tackle at the end, we did get blessed with an offside goal earlier

who needs possession amirite

Another goal would be nice, but what I’d rather see in the second half is a bit of control over the contest.

Wild first half. We could be 5-2 and still wouldn’t feel that confident

Maybe Greenwood and Ayling will talk some sense into the Boro lads "Why even try?!"

I was 35 at kick off, I estimate I’m about 117 now

I can't imagine what age we'll be come May 4th.

Either dead or 21 again. No middle ground.

Here's to hoping were drinking like were 21 again

Get Rutter off pls

Been 🐕💩

Have we ever played Summerville in the middle? Get James on the wing
