0-0 not very exciting but we're growing into it.
Can't be disappointed with this scoreline. Europa league opponents and all that.
Id say they created far more chances than us. Rutter was a bystander. Summerville looks quite lively. Ampadu is quite a unit, bigger than i thought. Scrappy game so far
No idea how strong their side was but we had quite a few players who I wouldn't expect to be in our starting 11, Hjelde, Gray, James to name three so we've done OK.
Been disappointed with Rutter to be honest but maybe we didn't play to his strengths.
Loved Bill out there.

Have they really put Meslier under any pressure at all?
No not really but i cant think of any chances we created at al. Its just a fitness game so not too worried
Ampadu looks good so far. Agree about Rutter, always seems to be in the wrong place. James played a few crosses in but either there is no one in the middle or it is too high for a short player who ends up furthest forward.
Not unhappy with the showing so far, would prefer to see these players given a bit more time on the field to gel rather than swapping the entire team at HT.
Just to repeat … go onto Facebook. Go to videos. Search As Monaco. On the filters switch on ‘live’ and the match is on … 2nd half showing now
Decent first half when I wouldn't expect the likes of Struijk & James to figure when the action starts for real.
Rutter playing more centrally than against schum which doesn't suit him.

James being James. For all his electric pace, simply can't take on & beat a defender.
Wilf given away penalty and injured?
They have stepped it up since HT and we look sloppy. Silly pen given away by Willy and hurts himself in the process

never a pen foot way way high on gnonto
that's a shame - we were doing quite well.
Defence still looks a concern. Too easy
Need a LB, 10 and a CF it seems. Lots to do in 15 days
0-2.
Useful run-out, pretty good opposition.
Can't say I spotted anything like a creative midfielder playing for us.
We fannied around at the back far too much - is that "possession football"? Frustrating - Monaco were really quite dynamic in playing out from the back.
Only saw the 2nd half and unless Monaco are champions league last 4 quality I did not see a lot to be very positive about and I'm hoping Farke can at least tick off players from that performance who have no future with Leeds.... there must have been at least six!
Dan James once again proved he has no future at the club, awful.
