* The Unofficial "Official" Leeds United v Middlesbrough [12/24] Match-Day Thread "

They will finish above us. We have a better squad and manager apparently and they are 6 points ahead of us. Just doesn’t add up.
We don’t have a better squad, it’s delusional to think we have a better squad than a team that was in the prem for years and kept most of its players last season and signed 4 premier league player, players like Rodon a 10m Cb.
 
7 minutes injury time and Leeds aren't even committing men forward when they have a corner, and yet somehow we still contrive give the ball away needlessly and concede a killer third goal! It is so frustrating, we should have been all over them but managed to kill ourselves again!
I switched off after 82 minutes, because you can just see it coming from us with 2nd rate players….how barlassor gets in before howson beggars belief
 
It’s bonkers to say Carrick must get us up this year or he has to go.

It’s incredibly hard to get promoted in this league and we’re in the mix again this year.

We are better to watch, again, year on year. And we are competitive.

God knows what some people would expect from us if we went up. Champions League?

Lots of football still to play and we will win a good share of those games and play some good football.
So how long does he have. Is 3 years too short now ?
 
It’s play offs at best. Frustrating as we were the better team a big chunk of the game but they punished our mistakes.

They looked a bit faster and stronger across the pitch.

We need a left back desperately!
 
Needed a goal, who else could he bring on?

Conway not a no.10 so why play him there. Should’ve took one of Hackney or Barlaser off and played Conway and Lath together with Azaz behind them or put Burgzorg no.10 (should’ve started) and put Conway on the left.

Referring about Sunderland
 
Several poor performances tonight, maybe 3 changes was too many?

Borges beaten for pace, Barlaser kept giving the ball away, Doak not his usual self, McGree looked shot 15 mins before he came off, Lath had no service

Still we had chances at 1-1, put one away and it’s a different result.

We are not going to finish top 2 - our record against the top 6 is pretty poor so far.

Agreed, we’re up there every year but squad building we are playing catch up. If we don’t go up we get 30m for lath and Hackney, and buy 4 first team players for 30m and our squad gets closer to those big prem clubs again. It’s the only way to really do this.
 
With two teams below us with games in hand. Won’t be in there for long 👍🏻

One win against sides currently in the top six. Roll on January, we need signings.
Nowt to do with the manager that we give the ball to the opposition in our final 3rf of the pitch ?
We offer up goals for the opposition and that’s on the managers instructions

Praying 🙏🏻 West Ham come for him 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
 
Opportunity lost for a " well earned point " ..
A few posters have alluded to a lack of steel .

That's what was missing for that point today.

Strange 'lack of energy ' for the most part ..
Maybe 1 change too many?
 
I do worry we still lack leaders in the team.

Look at our last successful team. Grant, Clayton, Friend, Ayala, Gibson, Dimi, Nuge etc all huge characters who didn’t hide when the going got tough.

We have a bit of a fragility about us at the minute and unless sorted we won’t be going up.
Absolutely this...

Hopefully no prospective buyers were watching that tonight.

Would we have that with smith, Lenihan, fry and Morris in the side?
