Just been watching Bamford's goal against Southampton and there is a genius piece of trickery to outwit the Southampton defenders. When watching it live I thought that Roberts pass went straight to Bamford's left foot to set him up for the shot.
However if you look carefully Bamford actually steps over the ball and lets it run through behind him. This takes the ball away from the 2 defenders and leaves Bamford to swerve left and create the space to get the shot away. Great bit of skill.
Also from Meslier's gloves to the back of the net 13 seconds.
The view from behind the goal is the best angle to see Bamford's fancy footwork. Superb goal.

More To Bamford's Goal Than Meets The Eye

You matter Mont but Marcelo's opinion wins the day!

He did a very similar thing for the goal against Leicester, I believe. Allows it to run across his body to create a better shot for a left footer.

I've given up trying to advocate Patrick's merits with certain factions.
As far as I'm concerned the one person who rates his qualities is the only one that truly truly matters- Marcelo Bielsa.

To be fair, Rev, he missed quite a few sitters in his first couple of seasons with us. But this season, he has been a revelation. I am delighted to take back everything I said about him in the past, as, I am sure, are many posters. He is truly the swan who was once the ugly duckling, and I don't mean you, Peter.

I was really impressed with llorentes pass to Roberts.
Really quick along the floor, was a really clever piece of play.

Clever player, clever finish. Bielsa has squeezed his potential out and premier league is his level. His finishing has been off the scale this season.

It absolutely was. That whole move from Meslier to PB was quality. Great to see Roberts & Llorente doing well.

Great Video, such a great team spirit we have, watch Marcello enjoying that 2nd and 3rd goal, he's pacing up and down that touchline ffeeling over the moon - 'priceless' and Dallas feeling for Raphina's message to Ronhaldino's granny all good feelings and sympathy, everything shared and it's a good sign for our Leeds team and Bielsa is the man who makes this happen.
