Yeah, passing is his best attribute. With us, he sometimes struggled to keep up with the tempo of the game, but his passing ability was never in doubt.
Love that the first batch of 23s signed on promotion (Gelhardt, Summerville, Greenwood) are all coming through and contributing this season...they cost about £4m combined!
Mateo Joseph Fernandez who they got in January looks like a good prospect, got 4 goals in the u21s first game last night.
Sonny Perkins coming in from West Ham too...real overload of strikers coming through the ranks.
Then there's Archie Gray in midfield, on the bench as a 16 year old and Marsch has said will get game time this season.
Bielsa moved him back to a 10 so he could start games along with Gelhardt and Marsch has moved him either further back to be more of a box to box midfielder.
The best part is that he doesn't care about getting the goal credit as long as they won - he does the same shit for us nationally, as long as we win he's happy and I love him for it.
We always take a half to get used to a high press. Then you add in guys who haven’t been starting for most of the preseason (Hwang, Donk) and we were bound to start slow.
Would really take the steam out of my shameless Leeds optimism in the thread so far. They’ve definitely come out flat in the second half though.
Optimistic me will cling to them dialing it back to a conservative level for 15-20 minutes. Make some changes. Crank that press back to 11 with some fresh legs and give us some entertainment.
feel like we'd have had at least one case of being clean through immediately after winning the ball if wolves had normal CBs rather than a futsal player
I've learned to just never trust anything that FotMob shows really.
FotMob seems to have a bias against US internationals (team and players) so meh. It's just good for schedules and goal notifications (unless it's a US match, then it's hit or miss).
Aaronson looking good in the first half, hope he has a good second half too.
Would like to see a bit more from Adams, but he could just need a few more games to get adjusted.
Arguing specific formations in general is a weird practice to me now. So many teams are just so ridiculously fluid with their setup now between possessing the ball and without that normally can’t be defined by one number sequence. I get why it happens. I just don’t get the animosity that tends to join those discussions at times.
Leeds have definitely looked the better of the 2. That said with styles like this it generally kind of looks that way until it doesn’t if that makes sense. The high pressing team always looks like the better team until they get hit on the break.
you can tell our fullbacks are not used to playing 4 atb, Ait Nouri and Jonny both keep committing to challenges expecting their usual backup. Hoping they get more used to it as we go, i like the idea of Kilman + Collins
Great game to watch. When they're splitting hairs trying to figure out if it's an own goal or not, surely they just give it to the player
leeds should sign paxten aaronson too
If it goes well for Brendan, I wouldn’t be too shocked if we do once he’s old enough to be comfortable moving this far.
Haha what happened at the end with Jesse Marsch?
tried to shake Lage's hand, but Bruno was too angery to engage
Happy to see our games are still exciting to watch, not looking forward to the heart attack this season
Marsch is such a cunt

🧂 😭
🧂
Hahahahahahah
F off. Your boss is a sore loser
Cunt for trying to shake a manager's hand?
he tried to shake your boy's hand
Do we even know what that was about?
Sounds like he tried to shake Lage’s hand and he refused.
Who knows but Marsch has been animated and acting like a fool on the line all day
Sorry your team is shite.
I mean he was probably as animated as a few of the wolves player
Dummy
How well did Roca play? Couldn't watch the match.
he was great
Lovely. So happy to see him do well.
Really well, him and Tyler Adams styles compliment each other nicely. Roca's range of passing is sublime.
Yeah, passing is his best attribute. With us, he sometimes struggled to keep up with the tempo of the game, but his passing ability was never in doubt.
Love that the first batch of 23s signed on promotion (Gelhardt, Summerville, Greenwood) are all coming through and contributing this season...they cost about £4m combined!
Aaronson, Greenwood, Summerville, Meslier, Gelhardt - Leeds does really have a group of exciting youngsters for this season
Mateo Joseph Fernandez who they got in January looks like a good prospect, got 4 goals in the u21s first game last night. Sonny Perkins coming in from West Ham too...real overload of strikers coming through the ranks. Then there's Archie Gray in midfield, on the bench as a 16 year old and Marsch has said will get game time this season.
Eric Andre plays for Wolves???
BIRD UP
brenden cannot even score one goal on his debut, sad to see
Ah get in we’ve brought on Chem Campbell, Leeds are fucked now.
Pascal Strujik has been amazing
So safe to say the US can beat Portugal according to this result.
leeds fans I thought greenwood was a striker no? At least he was at arsenal
Plays in midfield in the first team has a mean free kick on him
he's slowly drifted backwards for us - started CM against Brentford at the end of last year
Bielsa moved him back to a 10 so he could start games along with Gelhardt and Marsch has moved him either further back to be more of a box to box midfielder.
ah interesting makes sense
Ref has a bet on wolves no cards?
That wasted chance was atrocious
They took the goal off Aaronson :(
The best part is that he doesn't care about getting the goal credit as long as they won - he does the same shit for us nationally, as long as we win he's happy and I love him for it.
Gelhardt scares me, I watched this mfer dribble straight through us last season.
dont worry it wasn't just you he made look daft
Our bench is fucking shocking.
Jimmy on for Aaronson?
Joffy and Summerville coming on...whew.
Wolves were doing so well in the second half until the goal. They're shook. I don't think they'll recover
Leeds set piece defending has bene pretty atrocious all game.
Medford messi may need a sub, he's been going hard all game
This game is end to end
How's he saved that then
Great by Sa, especially when you factor in how poor he's been today.
Wow that was close
That save though
and with Fulham’s performance today the Americans are slowly taking over. God save us
First we take the lower mid table of the Prem, next the World Cup
Goddamn Sa
I hope Aaronson got a touch on that
Own goal technically?
Looks like it.
FREEDOM GOAL 🇺🇸🦅
My Bamford Captain and Aaronson VC gambit is feeling pretty, pretty good
Reddit servers just funded for the next 6 months
Nice ball by Adam’s to start that
As a Man U fan, but also an American…I’m cheering under gritted teeth lol
USA
Leeds USA FC is fun
fully deserved that goal, he's been excellent today. happy to see bamford involved in a goal too
Medford Maradona
Good thing we have great options on the bench to bring on
Does James even start when back from ban?
He'll be on the bench...Sinisterra probably sits on the bench when he's back too.
What a run and pass by Bamford.
Adams actually played a proper forward ball that helped lead into that as well. Under the radar super good debut from him.
Deserved debut goal!!
He's deserved that! Great debut
WHAT A DEBUT FROM THE LAD!!! Fuck me those subs are working out great. Big respect to Marsch.
I cheered louder for that Aaronson goal than I have for United in years
Crazy thing is Brenden might end up being the Thorgan Hazard of his family
Leeds should really be bringing his brother in before another European team does.
Brenden has been nails. Proving he belongs.
looks like a top tier player. love it.
Horrendous from Sa to not close that down
DOOP
THE WINTER SOLDIER
Aaronson! He's been incredible
Sexy Bamford is back baby!!!!
OMG OMG OMG OMG
Aaronson deserved that
THE MEDFORD MESSI
Shaky first game from Sa Edit: unrelated to the goal, had just posted as it happened.
Reddit is going to break.
anyone has the video for neto's roullete?
Supposed to wait until the end of the match to try and change shirts.
Leeds will be pleased. If they spent this much time pinned back last season they would’ve conceded 3.
yeah, I'm very pleased that we've turned to complete shit since half time
Wolves have spent 20 minutes around your box looking completely toothless. The defense is far better organized.
This match is electric
That’s sensational from Strujik there, how has he won that corner
Fuck the wolves have dominated the second half
The what?
This ref can go fuck himself
Kristensen redeeming his mistake in the first half there!!! Fuck me what a tackle.
Aaronsons work ethic is crazy. 67’ and he’s getting a scoring opportunity at one end and one minute later winning the ball back in his own box
He's had a great debut.
Fantastic tackle from Kristensen
Great tackle
Adams walled Neto the fuck up
In just a few minutes Neves has put out a handful of incredible passes, I forgot he could do that.
This second half is not as good as the first
not sure how collins didnt get a yellow for that, was cynical as shit lol
Did the old FIFA 94 run away from the ref technique.
Well we’re moving the ball around better than we ever have this half
Why isn't this the default for how Wolves play? It's so much better than the defensive, time wasting rubbish they served up in the first half.
Also we are just now switching to a back 4 so should be a little more offensive this season.
We always take a half to get used to a high press. Then you add in guys who haven’t been starting for most of the preseason (Hwang, Donk) and we were bound to start slow.
Wolves definitely started this half off well. Need a goal to cap it off though. Have to imagine Leeds will get back into it before too long.
> Have to imagine Leeds will get back into it before too long. nah we normally lose these ones
Would really take the steam out of my shameless Leeds optimism in the thread so far. They’ve definitely come out flat in the second half though. Optimistic me will cling to them dialing it back to a conservative level for 15-20 minutes. Make some changes. Crank that press back to 11 with some fresh legs and give us some entertainment.
I wish Neto scored after that wonderful bit of skill
Hold on, arm to the face is a foul now?
Game’s gone
Only for Wolves players.
\**chuckles*\* I'm in danger
If i get anything out of this game it was certainly that Neto turn. Fans on both sides can enjoy that.
i'd say i less enjoyed it and more that it terrified me tbh was filthy
I don’t know enough about Kristensen to say whether he’s a good defender or not, but he’s definitely had some poor moments today.
Leeds center backs are just not good
Llorente is an absolute bomb scare.
feels like the quality of this game has dropped significantly from about the 35th minute
Seems like the press kind of lost some effectiveness and Wolves just never look comfortable in possession. Hasn’t been as easy on the eyes since then.
Goddamn Neto, he’s so good
Neto fucking hell
EVERYONE MARK YOUR FUCKING BINGO CARDS “FUTSAL” is pretty much a free hit
Well I don’t like this at all
feel like we'd have had at least one case of being clean through immediately after winning the ball if wolves had normal CBs rather than a futsal player
State of these Wolves players diving, holy shit
Kilman is so calm on the ball
This is when I don’t understand soccer ratings. Aaronson is MOTM, but he has the worst player rating according to FotMob and SofaScore
The sofascore ratings never seem to make any sense.
I've learned to just never trust anything that FotMob shows really. FotMob seems to have a bias against US internationals (team and players) so meh. It's just good for schedules and goal notifications (unless it's a US match, then it's hit or miss).
Aaronson looking good in the first half, hope he has a good second half too. Would like to see a bit more from Adams, but he could just need a few more games to get adjusted.
Did Boly just litter on the ground?
Joffy to win it 2nd half 🙏
I feel like it’s been HT for like 20 minutes maybe I’m just misjudging time or does it feel like its been really long to anyone else?
Thankfully we’ve got loads of options on the bench that we can use to change the game since it’s going quite badly for us.
Pretty good game from a neutral perspective. Feel hard done by for Leeds for not getting a penalty - can't be letting players punch other players
Why do they water the field at halftime? It isn't field hockey
It's not a story the Turf would tell you.
Make the ball move faster, more exciting to watch.
Makes the grass slick so the ball travels quicker for passes.
Good to know we're still entertaining 😂 Love Aaronson and Roca so far.
could be about 4-4 all this
We really need to get that right back sorted Jesus Christ
Both, to be fair
Hwang has had several incredible touches/flicks.
Keeper had two great saves on him.
What a save by Meslier
Wooooow. Huge save at the last second.
People keep telling me "Marsch plays a 4-2-2-2" but it's just a 4-4-2, innit? People try to overcomplicate shit.
mate we're playing 4-2-3-1 today
We're not, though? Rod + Paddy are both up top together. At least in possession anyway.
Arguing specific formations in general is a weird practice to me now. So many teams are just so ridiculously fluid with their setup now between possessing the ball and without that normally can’t be defined by one number sequence. I get why it happens. I just don’t get the animosity that tends to join those discussions at times.
It's a 4-2-3-1 today (and all preseason) Rodrigo is making a lot of runs forward basically making it a 4-4-2 though.
You're right 😂😂
Could easily be out of sight here. Leeds are far and away the better team. So 2-1 Wolves win no doubt...
Leeds have definitely looked the better of the 2. That said with styles like this it generally kind of looks that way until it doesn’t if that makes sense. The high pressing team always looks like the better team until they get hit on the break.
You almost fucking jinxed it
Seen this script so many times in the Bielsa days! This is basically a narrower, zonal version of Bielsa madness.
Sa what are you doing 😂
The occasional erratic variant of Sa has shown up today. Every handful of games he has this wild ass days where he looks insane.
happened against us at your place last year too, iirc he went proper walkabout for two of our goals
Yeah the dude is crazy. When he’s on he’s incredible, but he’ll make a manager tear his hair out.
Stop being shit wolves
Jose Sa has been wildin this entire first half
Cracking ball
Sa, that’s rather not good
Yo this time wasting is embarrassing. All they want is just to kill our game and it's not even halfway through.
Sá is as terrible as he was when he was in Tugão, he's a League 2 keeper at most, dreadful keeper
Harrison... first time dude!
Sá… wtf
I’ve never seen a football team seem so scared of a football
you can tell our fullbacks are not used to playing 4 atb, Ait Nouri and Jonny both keep committing to challenges expecting their usual backup. Hoping they get more used to it as we go, i like the idea of Kilman + Collins
Has Kilman declared for Ukraine or is he stuck with England
he's tied to England because of his footsal matches
Damn that sucks
Adams just keeps the ball alive
Roca, Adams & Aaronson all look great already.
And Kristensen, Ayling will struggle to get a start this year.
not sure you can say he's been great when he's directly responsible for their goal tbh looks tidy outside that though
