it was me who pointed out how bad his crossing is and got insulted, like i said he runs all day , has the heart of a lion , just cant cross a ball
Alioski's least of our issues that need addressing.
Like ive said before. 3 defeats and a huge game against Derby.
I fear a nervous and edgy crowd now which can only have a negative effect has it creeps onto the pitch. We need a good start against Derby and an early goal.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
No need for fear and negativity from crowd given we are playing well. This is different to last year
WE will bounce back Bielsa will not let them off lightly
Don't think there was any reason to worry about that performance.
In previous seasons we put stronger teams out and played worse against non league.
Roberts and Clarke got 90 minutes. Ayling looked better. And very impressed with Shackleton, he's got great ability on the ball.
Defence looked poor, but we had 3 full backs and a centre mid playing the there. That's understandable. Lacked the finishing touch up front but had no 9 on the pitch.

Agree
Strange game in that it seem nobody wanted a draw
I wouldn’t mind seeing Roberts start a couple of games against lower half opposition.

like i said alioski rarely produces a decent cross
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you don’t know a lot about football do you ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
know a lot more than you obviously, his crossing is woeful
----------------------------------------------------------------------
actually it i isn’t.
it’s quite good.
just haven’t got the height in attack...
and some of us just don’t expect every cross to result in a goal

Any oppo, why should it only be a so called lower half?
Always liked Roberts... Really good touch, seems to work hard. Had 50% strike rate when played as striker in absence of Roofe. Think I was expecting him to have a bit more pace when we signed him, but might have the attributes to be a good 10.
Away at QPR, both sides made changes. Both went for the win, we lost.
Roberts and Shack impressed. Clarke...its clear to see he aint a starter yet.
Agree that Clarke was not as effective as a starter.
Alioski did have a few poor set pieces (corners and at least one free kick) but has been playing really well
Lately and otherwise had a decent game today.
We had no defense to speak of (the Bielsa way, somewhat) today, so not a surprising result.
I think what has happened to the FA Cup is truly sad. It’s always been recognized as the most prestigious football competition in the world. For years, as a teenager, I watched the final at old Wembley with my dad. The pageantry and the occasion made it the most awesome event in the sporting world long before the Olympics opening ceremony became such an over produced spectacle.
If the clubs don’t care much about the cup, if teams play with only a few regular starters, if fans talk about it not being a big deal if the team loses, how difficult is it for us to have a really committed feeling about these games?
I actually felt like I wasn’t a real Leeds United fan after the game. I just wasn’t that disappointed with the result. It was an “oh well” sensation. Didn’t really matter, didn’t really count....
Just think about that. It’s awful!
Lastly, we aren’t all going to agree always. Different opinions are just that. Let’s not make it personal when someone has one or more different to yours.
I now look forward to a happy birthday win on Friday against Direby!
... sums up my feelings pretty well too Johnny. I used to love cup final day as a kid, watch hours of the build up beforehand. As a young adult it was always a firm
Part of the beer calendar. Now? I can’t Remember the last time I watched it, and couldn’t tell you any of the recent winners. Real shame.
Yesterday I was ‘a bit disappointed’, when we lose in the league i’m gutted
I lived near Wembley as a kid, could see stadium out of my window hear the crowd when a goal was scored.
There used to be an it’s a Knick our build up before finals. Replays could go on and on, matches on terrestrial tv.
Nowadays matches all over the place, on all sorts of channels and also instead of cup winners cup we have, well, I don’t even know what we have for winning Fs cup now.
This has been driven by saturation of European matches.
In old days, champions went into European cup, next couple in to fairs cup/UEFA cup and cup winners into cup winners cup.
It worked.
You would look forward to playing quality European teams, it was an event, now it seems like Man City playing Dortmund every week by listening to five live and it just numbs you to it, the saturation has diluted the importance, the value, not just for your own team (look at apathy now from Man U fans) but also for watching other teams (when I was a kid and Liverpool in europe I’d watch their matches hoping they’d win as the English team in europe).
We can’t go back to old days but Fs cup will completely wither away unless treated more seriously by all concerned.

This, this a thousand times.
I've been very critical of him in the past, but at the moment he is well worth his place in the team.
There is a reason bielsa picks him for every game
