Key Player
We were very unlucky with a very clever free kick. Leeds had no idea and all we needed was a touch.
Like Asoro and McKay?. I hope to God that we can get rid of those lying shysters so that Potter can bring in some quality.
You miss my point, CJ. Potter HAD to bring in the likes of those two and take a chance on them because the liars didn't make funds available to buy decent quality players as they promised to. There's no way Potter would have signed them had he had any money to buy reasonable quality players - hence my wish for them to fcuk off so we can get owners who WILL make some funds available. Some stats from the game:Like Asoro and McKay?
I disagree Ivor. For £3,3 m (Asoro, McKay and John) you can buy better quality in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and even Spain. We were used to pay stupid money in transfer fees when we were in the Premier League that we are now forgetting what we should be paying for whilst in the Championship. Norwich top goalscorer Teemu Pukki was signed on a free transfer from Brøndby in the last summer transfer window. I don't think he got more than £1m in sign-on-fee. 21 goals scored in return. Laudrup payed £2 m for Michu, £2 m for Chico and something like £500.000 for Pozuelo. I know that was seven years ago, but still. £500.000 for a player in Danmark, Croatia, Poland etc. is a huge money for their clubs. And not only you can get quality there, you can get experience as well. 24 - 26 years old players, ideal for the Championship.You miss my point, CJ.

Potter has had a decent squad but he hasn't used them. We had five wingers at the start of the season, why buy two more? Dyer and Routledge are more than capable of playing at this level. I know that the long term plan is to get rid of of the high earners and promote the players from the academy but all of this could have been done gradually. I feel that we have lost many points during the first half of the season by experimenting and chopping and changing. In the beginning of the season our priority was a quality striker, a left back and another creative midfielder. I think we have wasted money on two more wingers.There's no way Potter would have signed them had he had any money to buy reasonable quality players...
Yes, that's where we need to improve. In modern football you can't be a top team if you don't work hard and press high.Although I have to credit Leeds for working their butts off to buzz around like a swarm of bees. Whenever we had the ball at least two Leeds players came on hard to press, contain, challenge ... and too often win the ball. It resembled men against boys at times.
Yes, you have to if you press high, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Barca, Man City and Liverpool are good examples, they chase you all over the pitch. Hard work, hard work, Monk used to sayLeeds didn’t just Press high. They pressed all over the park, as and whenever they could.
No monk used to say we will have to work harder as he didn't have a scooby what to do.Yes, you have to if you press high, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Barca, Man City and Liverpool are good examples, they chase you all over the pitch. Hard work, hard work, Monk used to say
