@JoeDonnohue Mmm... Most shots and most xG. As a stats person Joe, wouldn't that suggest it's a statistical outlier?

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@lufcMM0 Also, we don't need to be so alarmist. We look good and have outplayed every team except WBA. Results will become more consistent... We hope 😂

@leeds_together Where's the communication from Meslier or Struijk to call him up. Poor defensively okay so round. A big negative in Meslier is he doesn't marshal the defence. He too passive. Keepers should be the best communicators on the team. They see the field.

@MartinCBMRiley Dominated. Those 2 chances are absolute sitters. Penalty everyday of the week, twice on Sundays.

And the penalty... Sliding challenge from behind.

@KieranMaguire 😂 PL preparing for the City case.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@GrahamSmyth If we know anything about Ilhan, is that he never gets there.

The number of times he puts the CBs under pressure by staying in the 6 yard box when there is an easy take on offer is so frustrating.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@AIILeedsArentWe They were sitting on the news of Gnonto contract extension 🙌🏼

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@OscarMarrio Way better balance than last year too. Likely to be less reliable on vibes.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@AllDayLUFC @Godwin1Carl Good low value players? That group notes cost £30+. That certainly isn't low value for the championship.

I think most will be disappointed that we didn't land Hamer or Sallai, but the reality is, we couldn't afford them in the championship from an FFP perspective.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@GrahamSmyth If Wober goes, surely there is another CB lined up. Can't be pulling Ampadu out of midfield again.

In fact, even if he stays they should be thinking about another CB.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@theadelites I must have watched a different game. I thought Aaronson made a massive difference and seldom got pushed off the ball.

His movement played a role in both goals and his ability to support build up really helped.

He was unlucky when he was tackled on the counter.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@AndRusso_16 We aren't getting a 9 unless Bamford or Piroe leave.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@theadelites Aaronson helped in build up. Extra ball playing mid. Much more balanced compared to last week, however, WBA much stronger defensively.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@AllStatsArentWe Was there a reason we struggled to get the ball into central areas?

Against Portsmouth we were cutting them to pieces but couldn't get anything going against WBA.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@anthonylockton 😂 Very good Davis.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@Sophs_C We didn't use central area at all, and constantly played backwards and horseshoed the ball around the back.

It's meandering boring football a lot of the time.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@AllDayLUFC Would be nice to see Aaronson at 10, Rothwell 8, Ampadu DM, James and Willy or wide.

We had no penetration yesterday. No link up in central areas. And when we did snap into the press, we couldn't retain possession.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@LUFC Weak weak squad 😭 So much for the great preparation to the season.

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@JonathanJWalsh We are a community. Yes we are frustrated, but don't eat our own. 🔴⚫🔴⚫

[James Mantella @JYM40]

@RonnyLerner Similar to Ambrosio? Coaches have their favourites.
