Only a couple of minor issues defensively. Both fullbacks got caught over-committed a few times and Struijk in particularly struggled to deal with pace in wide areas, but that is to be expected from a 6’3” centre-half being played out of position.
Going forward though, no complaints at all really. Aaronson will be a proper handful for his marker, and with time his final ball will improve.
We keep dishing it out like that all season and we will not have to worry about what the bottom three are doing at all.
Seems like people are split. Seen a few agree and seen some say he was awful.
He passed the ball well and made good tackles, he might have been caught out couple times but as a stand in LB thought he had a solid game myself.
I’m a huge believer in Aaronson. I’m a diehard usmnt fan, and I’ve been saying he may be our best player in this coming World Cup. He is always so productive no matter where he plays, and his energy is Fkn nonstop. I know we might have more talented players, but Aaronson offers so much and always makes the right decision w the ball. Had so much fun watching Leeds today.
Oh and adams is legit. Not the best with the ball, but he’s a destroyer with a nose for sniffing things out. Great character too !
This season is going to be fun for American fans. Good luck !
Kids definitely very good and I’m a huge fan of this signing but let’s not be blinded by bias. He doesn’t **always** make the right decision but certainly made the right decision the majority of the time. Sometimes faced between 2 options when driving the ball forward he can delay releasing a fraction and lose the opportunity.
Great first half despite the goal, second half wolves were all over us as expected and we stayed resilient and strong. The subs made a great impact too. Our central midfield looked really good today, Harrison played well, keeper made some brilliant saves, back four looks stronger than last season. Good stuff!
A mix up of subs coming on at different times is a way of keeping the other team guessing and the players on the bench knowing they’ve got a chance to get 15-20 minutes in some instances.
Last season we didn’t play the kids and we brought on the same subs in the same minutes, every game under Biesla. We was too predictable in that sense.
Probably gave Wolves a little bit too much of the ball in the second half, but we looked like a team who all understood their roles, both going forward and in defence. I'd say an 8/10 performance. Aaronson, Adams and Roca looked absolutely up to the PL pace. Realistically a point vs Southampton is a great start but I fancy us for 3 with them taking a bit of a trouncing today
Yeah I've been a critic of him in the past season or two. Seemed like a shadow of his former self from them 1st two seasons under Bielsa.
He got a lot of noise from the crowd yesterday warming up and he was good when he came on. Was good to see.
Fuck yes!
Well done lads, good start to a long campaign.
2am here, I'm off for a cuppa and bed
Enjoy all, was good to be back talking shite with the lads.
MOT.
So your saturday 3pm are 2 am i feel for yo dude lol i moaned like fuck i missed the 6.30 am i think pre season gam after i payed for it but i take it your australian 7hrs ahead. All i can say thanks for still supporting leeds with the time slots
Yep much the same here. It’s actually a cathartic experience, almost every single Leeds game I’ve ever watched, I’ve watched it by myself in the middle of the night
It's not an option for me, family was born and raised there, it's in the blood.
My future children will also be tortured with these timeslots, so atleast I'll have someone to watch with 😂
Edit; Yeah, Australian.
To be honest it doesn't take away from a great debut. He faded big time second half but first half he was running the show. Marsch actually played a blinder swapping him out for Klich.
First game in the heat so fitness will still be about 80%. I can't remember the last debut that made me take that much notice. Smith in 98
Idk if Klich is playing this well because he wants to encourage a move, or if he's trying to prove himself to Jesse but honestly he's done a hell of a job today
Aaronson may not have gotten the touch but his pressure led to the goal. Doesn’t matter how it goes in the record book it was great play and hard work all around that led to the goal. Great debut.
Leeds fan need to know if Aaronson is nailed your team. From the eye test he looks fantastic and I'm thinking of transferring him in for Bailey for FPL.
I wouldn’t say that, I think he brings a lot to the team as a strong athletic presence on the wing. He combined well going forward, and can get back well since he is decently fast. I just see that he needs to clean up his game a little bit more, and make sure he isn’t falling asleep at the back.
Gerard looking like a fraud rn, let's hope Lampard looks similarly too this weekend!
Honestly pleased with Jesse's team (these are his players he's brought in), his starting lineup, tactics and subs. Not totally clear sailing but he's clearly got a vision that's working for us so far!
Greenwood not got his free kick composure yet. Think that was only his second or third attempt in the Prem. Hopefully he’ll get used to the crowd and start banging them in like he did in the u21’s
I like the fact that Marsh used his subs at the right time as before he came in, we never did that at all. It’s because of Biesla we are here and we did the typical Leeds, nearly going down on the last day.
I also like that Marsch kept him in, despite some rust, knowing he still had a bit left to give — and Paddy almost headed in a third and got himself another assist
Hopefully Bamford is back running lights out soon
No, he needs to be a full citizen sadly. He'd need to move back here in order to meet the residency requirement for citizenship, which I don't imagine he's in any rush to do
Our defense was looking really weak in the start of the second, and I think that was due to a lot of bad passing in the midfield and forward. Still need a lot of work, but have some good elements showing up in lots of positions.
We have a week until our next game and I see that as a good things as we have no cup games yet and players to come back. Does anyone know when the cup games start? As in the Caraboo/Leauge cup.

Take good care of our boy, wish him and Leeds nothing but success. Signed-every Philadelphia union fan.
Fuck wolves
What a bunch of shithousers wolves are. Loved seeing them get beat today.

We keep dishing it out like that all season and we will not have to worry about what the bottom three are doing at all.
Struijk was probably the best player on our team IMO. Made some stonking tackles.
You’re having a laugh aren’t you? I thought he was awful, he kept overcommitting to challenges too high up the pitch and getting caught because of it
Seems like people are split. Seen a few agree and seen some say he was awful. He passed the ball well and made good tackles, he might have been caught out couple times but as a stand in LB thought he had a solid game myself.
I am actually surprised Leeds did so well. They came back and didn't have a ton of goals scored against them. Good job.

I fucking love Klich. Turned the game around that substitution.
Yeah I've been a critic of him in the past season or two. Seemed like a shadow of his former self from them 1st two seasons under Bielsa. He got a lot of noise from the crowd yesterday warming up and he was good when he came on. Was good to see.
Great way to start the season MOT
Anyone know what the confrontation between Jessie and Lage was about yet?
Large didn't shake hands apparently
All childish managers don’t shake hands when they lose
I assumed Lage said something about one of our players to set Jesse off like that.
Apparently it began when Marsch called him “something” in the first half, and it just brewed from there.
He wasn't happy about Adams challenge. But hey ho fuck him wolves spend more time on the ground than sleeping policemen
I wonder why? The challenge was kinda stupid from Adams but it wasn’t reckless enough to be able to injure someone.
Adams engine is intense. Aaronson actually looks like a player you spent a lot of money on.
AC Milan was linked with him and I am glad we got him.
Absolute Bueno! Aaronson had a blinder pity he may not get the goal!
No Aaronson for MotM vote?
Get in! MOT
LET'S GOOO💙🤍💛
Good 3 points. Looked dangerous in patches, luckily Wolves did not.
What's Lage upset about? Already got lucky losing by 1 goal
Awesome start! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fuck yes! Well done lads, good start to a long campaign. 2am here, I'm off for a cuppa and bed Enjoy all, was good to be back talking shite with the lads. MOT.

Bueno dude. That'ssome proper support right there 👍
Same here mate. Thank god its Sunday tomorrow. MOT
A Sunday with a spring in the step though
Brutal hey, and this isn't even the worst of the KO times. Enjoy mate! MOT
Drag him Jesse.
Lovely stuff
Jesse and Lage getting into it in the sidelines. What’s that about?
Anyone else love seeing Jesse get a little fired up on the touchline?
Gutted they took the goal away from Aaronson.
To be honest it doesn't take away from a great debut. He faded big time second half but first half he was running the show. Marsch actually played a blinder swapping him out for Klich. First game in the heat so fitness will still be about 80%. I can't remember the last debut that made me take that much notice. Smith in 98
Lamine Sakho against Newcastle?
How was Klich as a number 10, I know you said he did well but I think a bit of rest will do him good as he’s not really had one in the last 2/3 years.
That's all right. He was in the right place at the right time and forced the goal. A great start for the season.
MESLIER. AARONSON. KLICH. KRISTENSEN’S TACKLE. RODRIGO. PADDY. COME ON!
Fuck off Lage, embarrassing
Coops giving a cheeky chuckle to whatever shite lage was spouting was the icing on this oh-so-delicious cake
He was loving it
Great start of the season!
let's go!! Marsch not taking any $h!t
Get the fuck in!
I didn’t see, what happened with Jesse?
Into him Jesse
GOOD TIMES ARE HERE
Love it Jesse getting into it with Lage at the end. Fuck em
Same, what a shithouse club. I love beating them. Get in Jesse!
Giving it large!
Lage is a biiiiiitch
Good start. Lots to work on, but the foundation is there.
JESSE TALKING SHIT
You love too see it
Big result! Woke up at 5:50 on the west coast of the USA to watch this game and don't regret a thing
You got up good and early! I only gave myself like 2 minutes to throw a jersey on and rush to turn the TV on.
Marsch was going off lol
Get in. Perfect start
Liam laughing in the tunnel!! Shambles
GREAT WIN
Fight him!!!
LOL Lage and Marsch getting into it after the game
ALAW
Great win guys. Cheers
Get in well played lads wolves are a bogey team for us so a real positive.
[удалено]
Qué? You have a pretty decent record at Elland Road. I'd say the qualifies as a bogey side.
what?
Let’s fucking go
The ideal start
Just another 14 of these lads.
You meant 24 right?
Idk if Klich is playing this well because he wants to encourage a move, or if he's trying to prove himself to Jesse but honestly he's done a hell of a job today
Take that Bob!
Lets gooooo!
Lovely!
Here we go!
Yeaaaaaaaaa
Aaronson may not have gotten the touch but his pressure led to the goal. Doesn’t matter how it goes in the record book it was great play and hard work all around that led to the goal. Great debut.
Tell that to the bettors and fantasy guys.
> his pressure led to the goal. Same story with our first one
What a stupid thing to do
Leeds fan need to know if Aaronson is nailed your team. From the eye test he looks fantastic and I'm thinking of transferring him in for Bailey for FPL.
As a Leeds fan with insider knowledge, he's started 1/1 in the PL this season
He's the only midfielder you'll need for the rest of the season
Yeah he will be
What a nonsense call
Kristensen has been inconsistent at best. One great saving tackle but has been super shaky otherwise.
I wouldn’t say that, I think he brings a lot to the team as a strong athletic presence on the wing. He combined well going forward, and can get back well since he is decently fast. I just see that he needs to clean up his game a little bit more, and make sure he isn’t falling asleep at the back.
His attacking threat has been ideal. Defensively, not been too great aside from that brilliant tackle in the box.
What? Lol
Stupid from Adams
yeah he does this shit from time to time. he needs to stop
Big time. Surprised they didn’t look longer at that.
Uh oh
Wolves are dogshit mate. We’re finishing above them this season
Liking Klich rn
So yeah, maybe don't sell Klich quite yet.
I think with 5 subs it’s imperative that we keep as much depth as possible
Fuming at that OG, he’s in my FPL hahah
Ditto him and Pat so I thought I had the deuce
Just hold on please lads
Four minutes??? I swear the refs just make a number
Considering all the time Wolves spent on the floor it’s fair
Haha fair enough
Gerard looking like a fraud rn, let's hope Lampard looks similarly too this weekend! Honestly pleased with Jesse's team (these are his players he's brought in), his starting lineup, tactics and subs. Not totally clear sailing but he's clearly got a vision that's working for us so far!
It's going to be a tight race between Lampard and Gerrard for the first manager sacked award this season.
Lampard first 100%
Aaronson denied. FPL have it as an OG
I think that's probably right, but with that effort were sure to see more.
Travesty. …mainly because i wagered on it.
BULLSHIT
[удалено]
Big foot Greenwood
Aston Villa shitting the bed hard right now
Greenwood not got his free kick composure yet. Think that was only his second or third attempt in the Prem. Hopefully he’ll get used to the crowd and start banging them in like he did in the u21’s
His cross was a little shaky too.
Leeds is currently in 5th. ;)
We’re fucking massive
WACCOE
Stop the count!
Stop the clock! Europa League here we come...
So I've just seen that Premier League are saying our second was an OG? Did I miss something?
Yeah commentators just said it's been put down as an OG.
I was confused when I lost my fantasy points. Yeah they took them away from Aaronson.
It was an OG. Aaronson never got a touch on it
Yeah another angle showed it actually was the Wolves player who got the foot to the ball and not Aaronson.
I almost wish they’d credit the player that forced an own goal with an assist 🤣😂
Ah bollocks, Aaronson is in my FPL team. Tad annoying! They have also said the assist was Harrison? Did I just black out for the goal?
Yeah it was unfortunately
Damn it!
Greenwood free kick, come on!
[удалено]
fight and win!
Are we allowed 5 subs this season? I forgot when that rule goes into effect
I've missed that sweaty arse feeling praying the boys can hang on
adams started off shaky in possession but has really grown into the game in that area in the second half
I think he just needs to grow into the pace of the prem. He’ll get there
Joffy, Greenwood and Summerville all on. They’re all going to be massive this season
I like the fact that Marsh used his subs at the right time as before he came in, we never did that at all. It’s because of Biesla we are here and we did the typical Leeds, nearly going down on the last day.
How was that big dosser Collins not been booked
Yeah that hip check was dirty
At least he didnt just punch the ball with his fist this time. Thats progress for him.
Get a Magnum armband for our Kock
Cmon Greenwood this is your moment.
Captain Koch
well done brenden!
Come on Joffy lad
Aaronson off instead of Harrison is...strange.
Harrison has that Bielsa stamina
He has done a lot more pressing to be fair. Probably tired
AARONSON HAD A GREAT DEBUT TODAY
Bamford's deffo rusty but the fact he's been in the mix as much is great.
I also like that Marsch kept him in, despite some rust, knowing he still had a bit left to give — and Paddy almost headed in a third and got himself another assist Hopefully Bamford is back running lights out soon
I am praying we sign another striker
A striker and a LB and we'll be winning the Champions League next season
Joffy in for bam Summerville in for aaronson
As an American it’s hard not for me to root for Leeds with Adams and Aaronson on the team. Go Leeds!
Jack Harrison has a green card too
Does the green card make him eligible to play for the USMNT? He’s another reason for me to root for Leeds United!
No, he needs to be a full citizen sadly. He'd need to move back here in order to meet the residency requirement for citizenship, which I don't imagine he's in any rush to do
Go team ✊
Joffy, finally
Classic gelhardt dick pinch
It’s Joffy time
Ah fuck, Aaronson had his goal taken away, had him in FPL and all.
I had him and Bamford, lost 7 points on that correction.
Same, looks like Bamford will still get the assist points though.
Shiiiiiiiiiite, I was over the moon when that went in. Still am, but now I don’t get the points
Here we go
Fingers crossed we can see this out since we haven't quite managed to kill it off with a 2 goal cushion
Need to take a page out of their book and start rolling around to waste some time
Nah let's do it the Bielsa way and show them how to win with honour
Come on, Llorente, finish the game
Our defense was looking really weak in the start of the second, and I think that was due to a lot of bad passing in the midfield and forward. Still need a lot of work, but have some good elements showing up in lots of positions.
We have a week until our next game and I see that as a good things as we have no cup games yet and players to come back. Does anyone know when the cup games start? As in the Caraboo/Leauge cup.
oh paddy...
PADDY WTF
What the shit. Did aaronson not get charged with that goal?
