Leeds questions

[Mikej23]

Send us in some questions / talking points from the Leeds game for the Ealing Road podcast which we’ll be recording soon. ???

 

[randello]

Why were we off it creatively yesterday? Midfield having an off day? Toney not quite fit? Mbuemo off form? Rico rusty? Good tactics from Leeds? Koch getting away with it? Frank being too cautious and more worried about Leeds attacking threats? Had one of the strongest benches yesterday and did not fully use it. How do we keep such talent happy in the coming months?

 

[RAF_Patto]

Is a 4-2-3-1 formation the way to stop us playing? How many times have we come up against it and what is our record?

 

[aslan]

Why did the ref blow the whistle every time a Leeds player asked for a decision?

 

[Untouchable]

Where does Ayling rank on the ‘opposition players who are complete throbbers’ list?

 

[TW3Bee]

Where does Ayling rank on the ‘opposition players who are complete throbbers’ list?

Unfortunately he had a decent game yesterday, but I agree he is high up there.

 

[Beeian]

When and why did the referee (Peter Bankes) high five a Leeds player during the game?

 

[nocoat]

Why are their fans such deluded Neanderthal scum
Bags ?

 

[aslan]

Why was Ivan so poor?

 

[randello]

Why are their fans such deluded Neanderthal scum
Bags

Then we have all their twitter conspiracy nonsense for weeks after just because we had the audacity to take a point off them. It was the ref that cost them. Brentford were so poor, it was a joke they did not.win. Seem to take it to levels other opposition fans don't quite reach. Not sure how you fit that sensibly into the podcast.

 

[FlyBee]

Why the feck does Stu Wakeford come out on social media saying he likes Leeds A LOT?

 

[jlove]

Why do Bees fans expect us to be attacking a Leeds team that pressed us all over the pitch with a lot of energy when a 6-man defence and a point was a good result?

 

[GP200]

………….why do Leeds always get poor referees???…………

 

[TheHairdresser]

Why doesn't Jensen's goal bound shot in the 1st half that was headed over the bar not count as a 'shot on target'?

Why does an opposing keeper have to make a save to validate a shot on target in the stats?

(didn't like the referral on the TV news bulletin to Bees not having a shot on target last night btw).

 

[GP200]

………….why do Leeds always get poor referees???…………

………..who always favour the away team………..

 

[RAF_Patto]

Why didn't @TheHairdresser get a pay out for Jensen+1SoT and how much did he lose?

 

[To Bee Someone]

When did the conspiracy against Leeds originate? That European Cup game or the day they went mad and 'had every right to be going mad'

 

[Billy Hunt]

When did the conspiracy against Leeds originate? That European Cup game or the day they went mad and 'had every right to be going mad'

Goes all the way back to Leeds City FC during WWI

 

[8corner]

When did the conspiracy against Leeds originate? That European Cup game or the day they went mad and 'had every right to be going mad'

1919, when Leeds City were expelled from the Football League for financial irregularities.

They've never ever taken anything on the chin and got on with it. They moan and whinge about everything!!

Thanks everyone. Plenty to discuss. Episode out Weds/Thurs. ??

I would say reasonably high on the list !

 

[Mike]

Why does Raya target Tony with the long ball when Tony always ( almost ) ducks out of the way of it ?

 

[BFC1997]

Yeah Toney is crap in the air isn’t he ?

 

[Simon W]

Why’s @GP200 ‘s train always delayed to Leeds?

 

[Mike]

Yeah Toney is crap in the air isn’t he ?

Not necessarily, but if you watch the game back every ball that is directed at him from Raya he ducks out of. Sorry if this offends your sensibilities, but it is a fact

 

[Mike]

I get it that he may not want to head the ball often from a long drop kick, but in that case they should change tactics

8 games unbeaten, including match against Citeh, Liverpool & Spurs really does signal the need to make wholesale changes!

 

[aslan]

Strange to see the reaction to certain questions, as I'm sure the management team will spend the next week or so asking the same ones & putting it right for Southampton

Apart from the ones he flicked on to Mbeumo yesterday...

I get how well we have done recently and am very happy about that. I’m not talking about wholesale changes, I’m talking about one very small aspect of the game and saying that Raya was seeking out Tony with the long ball repeatedly in the match and Tony either miss timed his jump, was ahead of the ball or on occasion ducked out of the header. I reckon I wouldn’t be too happy by repeatedly heading balls dropping from a great height given all the publicity about heading and potential damage it can cause. So my point stands, if you are really interested go back and watch the match and see just how often this happened.

 

[badgerbee]

Why’s @GP200 ‘s train always delayed to Leeds?

Even when he's.going to Bournemouth??!! ?

We were using Ivan as such because of Leeds pressing. Pointless try to play out from the back if we're going to lose the ball in our final third.

I take your point about the heading, but I doubt Ivan is too bothered by this and instead will use his attributes to try and win us territory.

He did win some headers and won't always win many. Leeds had him well covered, so he struggled; that combined with the Leeds press meant we were pretty ineffective overall yesterday.

Couldn't play out of the back with the high press. Logic surely was that you only had to have one long punt work and you win 1-0.

Could you not see that was deliberate and was about pulling the centre back out of position so a runner, normally Bryan, could nip in behind. Good forward play.

Ivan was selling more dummies than Mothercare last Sunday.

Im really hoping the original post was an attempt at humour, rather than genuinely having no clue what was going on....

I stand by my comments in the match day thread Regarding his management abilities ???

When did the conspiracy against Leeds originate? That European Cup game or the day they went mad and 'had every right to be going mad'

I think all football supporters who were from Leeds hated the Dirty Leeds side of the early 70’s.
Excellent footballing side who resorted to cynical, snidey, dirty football and throw in the mix the arrogance of Revie and the strong allegations that they attempted to bribe Wolves to throw the game so they could win the league. Bad losers and fans who are so deluded they still believe they can claim to have won the European Cup in 75 because they were the victim of a conspiracy.

That should have read “weren’t from Leeds”
