There IS a time and a place to put ya boot through it

To be fair, I don’t think we were under much pressure from what I remember, just bad pass selection. We were under much more pressure on many other occasions and we played out brilliantly.
 
Barlaser not hoofing the ball out to save them scoring their first goal is hindsight,
if he’d have hoofed it out and leeds gained possession and scored, peeps would just be saying he should have found a player to pass to, like he did.

You reckon?

They've not included the build-up in the quick highlights, so I can't watch it back, I'd taken it as him slipping when he was trying to hit out, but I've not seen it back since the game.

Fair enough if it was, that's just bad decision making on his part then.

Yeah I’ve just seen it back on the EFL highlights too, I thought it was a pass at the time but seeing it back now on the EFL highlights it confirms it, he definetly has a look up at Crooks and goes for like a floated pass towards him. With hindsight he should have kicked it up the pitch but suppose it’s the way we play. I’m more annoyed with McNair for not winning the header against the tiny Dan James to be honest.

Yeah, it was really disappointing to concede two headed goals to some of the shortest players on the pitch, especially in quick succession.

I hadn't even had chance to stop celebrating Latte Lath's goal before we threw it away.
 
I really don’t get why McNair and Dijksteel didn’t just jump, that would have been enough even if they didn’t win the ball. It’s as though we never sense any danger at all.

The choice of pass was correct for the way we play, his execution was poor. He could and perhaps in the circumstances, just after we had scored, have just lamped it to break up play.

I don't think Carrick will be hard on him it was the right pass if it had come off. Sometimes they don't. 🤷‍♂️

Just hoofing an aimless ball up the pitch every time and basically gifting the opposition the ball? That’s hardly a sustainable way to play

Yes you may get caught in the press but once we beat the press then it usually results in a goal scoring chance

nobody is talking about hoofing it every time are they but there are times when it would be more prudent than messing about at the back when under pressure.

Spot on. The thing is, we all know these 2, and Barlaser aren't good enough for what we are trying to achieve.
