Didn't watch the game just listened to the report and it sounds like if we play like we did today we will comfortably finish mid table.
Unlucky lads but long way to go,our luck will turn.

Head's buried in the sand as usual,mid table finish? Look at the facts 12 games including pre season, 1 win against Crewe which took until the 80th minute.

Where’s my tenner?
No doubt we are relegation contenders now. Club failed to invest in the break, we know why we are where we are.
Club spent 50 mill this summer. Not sure that's failing to invest. The reall issue here is reactionary people jumping on negativity.
We deserved more from that, but performances are improving, and that win is coming

Maybe Leeds united are not the best team to support for some folk.
Anyone who watched that game will see we're not far away from our form of last season

That clown who claimed cooper was rubbish must have got the match report from stevie wonder.
I’ve never ever come across someone who is so consistently proved wrong in all my life.
It’s incredible.
And yet he continues to think everyone else is the idiot.
It’s an absolute miracle of of self confidence or the more likely outright crazy delusion.
Either way it’s really impressive.
We're some positives in this game
Cresswell looks a real find
Shacks at times played well
In general we defended most corners well against a corner team
We broke well with Raph looking his best
The concerns are two fold
1: We don't seem to be winning games having been in front as we used to
2: The midfield bar Phillips is lacking a number 10 and an 8 as support for Phillips. Its not often we seem to control matches and our reliance on Phillips is huge. We would probably.go down if we didn't have him. It needs addressing.
More positives:
Rodrigo has now had 3 good performances in a row. Just needs to add goals but he is really influencing games now.
Firpo getting better. Not saying he was perfect but final third he’s more in sync with the rest of the team and some composed cut backs from him.
Last season we were comfortably beaten by West Ham, today we gave them a game.
Concerns:
Conceding after we take the lead. We have never really done that under Bielsa, our record when scoring first has been exceptional but last two league games it’s a concern. We let the opposition back into it and gave the game to them.
Crowd is nervous. Was like that at Newcastle, if we don’t win next week it will only increase.
Once Raph went off we didn’t look like scoring.
Although we seemed to have played a pretty good game against a top 6 side and narrowly lost, there does still seem to be concern over the balance of the team and players like Shackleton and Dallas are not being played in their most effective positions.
Just reading thru twitter the consensus seems to be that
Firpo not hitting the ground running is now a major concern and that he is not offering us anything going forward.
I know a lot on here are saying it is early days with Firpo but Bielsa only plays players who are physically fit to play his style so we know it isn't his fitness that is causing in general such an underwhelming start to his Leeds career.
We have signed a reserve Barcelona left back which sounds good but Barcelona are not exectly hitting the heights they used to these days so I'm starting to suspect that Orta may have been sold a player, dazzled by his status of being on Barcelona's books and paying way over the odds for someone that is not as good as Alioski.
The pressure builds for our first win and I'm sure we will get it next week but Firpo needs to offer us more like Alioski did or else as we have seen today by all accounts young Cresswell had an impressive game and I think Hjelda is rated just as highly and is a LB and with Dallas able to play lb too we may have better options in that position already.
I’ve been negative last couple of weeks. Didn’t think we’d get anything today. But we did. We got a response and a fantastic team effort. Despite huge injury concerns. My faith’s restored in the team and club.

Agree. Meslier fantastic. Shack never lets us down. Cresswell looked like he belongs. Firpo better. James half encouraging. Rapha fantastic and Rodrigos best game in a Leeds shirt for me. Very hard defeat to take
Don't think we're going down, but we are relegation candidates. Gambled on a small squad, and its biting us.
Oh and that tw 4 t should never have been on the pitch to score winner. Refereeing fooled us yet again.
Next 3 are definitely winnable.
Saints - A
Wolves - H
Norwich - A
Brentford look like doing what we did last season. 3-3

Whoever is saying that on Twitter either didn’t watch the game or didn’t understand it.
Going forward was the best part of his game today. Overlapped well and was composed in the box to play two cut backs - 1 for Dallas shot in first half. Defensively he didn’t look perfect but none of the team did
