Simply The Best

Forget the Burton game last season and the win against Derby, this was simply the best performance by a Leeds side in possibly a decade.
The players ran themselves into the ground for each other, they had smiles on their faces when subbed, battled for every ball, and played some great football.
Yes there were a few stray passes and mistakes at the back, but that didn't deter them from putting on a class performance.
There's a long way to go, but if this is the improvement in just 6 weeks, what are they going to be like in a few months with Bielsa spurring them on.
Forget Pontus' Magic Hat, Bielsa has a Magic Wand.

Alioski looked good today.

On thread and off it, I said how great it is having actual left footers on the left; Cooper & Douglas.

And I believe Alioski's also a lefty. Nice balance.

Very good point.
Better balanced.
Alioski forced to cross from the left rather than run down the right and cut in and lose the ball 75% of time.

However, Berra clean McClean's clock toward the end.

The pass to Berardi wasn't ideal. He rattled a few players, that tackle in the 70th or so minute I celebrated like a goal

cant believe people having a go at berardi for what was a telegraphed balloon pass from saiz that would have put him under pressure whether he had controlled the ball or not. It was a terrible pass to him but dont see anyone blaming saiz for it

agree it was a needless ball when Saiz had other options. Remember thinking when the ball was in the air it was a poor choice but it was straight to Berra and a professional tier 2 footballer should have been able to control it.

That was a bad ball, one of the worst of the day. I don’t blame Berardi at all. But we need to expect this. Cooper was then excellent at covering.

Not one player is faultless ever, you can only look at the overall game. They were exceptional, all of them.

Can they keep this going? Will we hit a 4 game losing patch like early last season? How will they react?

I’m sure we will find out. Another LUFC season coming up

Boss has said he wants to bring in a couple more players.

If you were a young player, a manager looking to get a loan move for a player or someone who wanted/needed a transfer you would look at that performance today and it would be a drawing factor.

That performance will have made it easier to sign players

Agreed, ER is the place to be and loans make sense both in terms of finances but also the level of quality you can attract.

That said, if we can secure two of the permanents that have been bandied about, why not?

Yes yes yes was a great result / performance but lets not get carried away lads. Remember last season we were going to win the league after 9 games. Won 7 drawn 2 so get in perspective. Calm down, Calm down FFS
