Guerreiro Bid Ready, Hall Linked, Pape Gueye link, Victor Sorry, Bournemouth Review

snorta is in a privileged position. he should be more intelligent and graceful. what a clown he looked.

I don't agree with any abuse aimed at any player or owners but In balance we only have Victor's word his phone number been given around…strikes me as a guy to shift blame elsewhere.

Thanks mate

Orta should go. 75 million wasted across
Rodrigo
James
Firpo

I really don't care about Orta's response. I'd rather he be over zealous than not care

Good job on the Orta stuff, though I will say it's completely out of line to go up to a high profile person on the street and start laying into him. Twice I have been an airports where there was a politician who should be tarred and feathered, and it was tempting I admit to want to give these brain dead folks a piece of my mind, but to what end? (Just so we're clear, Orta is NOT brain dead!!). Your anger is almost always not that important.

As for the Red Bull system, I wrote this on Conor's channel but it's worth repurposing here. The Red Bull system is predicated upon the idea — proven statistically — that most goals are scored off of turnovers in the middle and final third, basically the halfway line it. It is also a system where more limited players can be effective, even against teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal who player for player are better than you.

The system will work, but the players HAVE to have the intelligence, athleticism, AND discipline to (1) regain shape on the counter (2) recover to defensive positions and (3) Meslier has to take more control of the defensive alignment on crosses and set pieces.. The first Bournemouth goal, isolated back post shot, was a pure failure to regain shape and to recognize that defensively Leeds was too overloaded left, and one or two guys could have slid more centrally. Moreover, Meslier did not aggressively manage his defense to adjust those players. And he should have had Rasmus mark the back post player and deal with the central attacker himself, given how much taller and longer he is than anyone on the pitch. One of the things you should learn in youth soccer if you're keeper, the most dangerous attacking player on the pitch when the cross is coming is the unmarked player without the ball. But you as a keeper, can mark the guy that is closest to you and challenge him 1 on 1 on the cross. I believe this shortcoming on the part of Meslier is one reason you hear Jesse in public saying how he wants Meslier to be more of a "leader." We forget, as we are in awe of his talent, how young he is.

Some, like you Ger, are concerned about the lack of width, and have suggested going to a 4-3-3. And while the 4-3-3 may make sense, it forces Adams to be a solo 6 with no support and, trust me, having seen him in a US kit, that role does not suit him, where our rigid inflexible national team coach insists on playing a 4-3-3. Tyler is the perfect player for a double pivot in that he can cover more ground and make deep recovery runs if he has too (and get in the attack! as he did in the Gnonto, Somerville sequence, where he slid to the right and drew defenders with him!!) . In a 4-3-3, a straight or diamond 4-4-2, you are asking Tyler to be more static and to be more skilled on the ball than he is, and that runs against his positive qualities of work rate, excellent tackling/ball winning. marking, and all around toughness. In other words, there are tradeoffs.

Other points — Transfermarket has Guerreiro at 20 mil Euro, HALF the price of 40 just 18 months ago. That price drop may be due to Dortmund running out of time to sell him, or maybe it's due to performance falloff, or a combination of the two. He is 28, so on the back end of the career, but 20 seems a fair price. He would certainly be an upgrade.

You said the table is tight — and if you just look at the points, that seems to be the case. But I believe the gap is wider than you might think. Forest and Wolves are a mess. Who's going to score for Everton or West Ham? Moyes and Lampard are sitting at their desks, and pacing the training ground every day, asking that question which at the moment doesn't have an answer. Bournemouth, frankly is not that good. Take a look at the Sofa score stats for the game,

The score was way closer that it should have been. Leeds was crushing them.

So, yeah, have your ulcer medication ready at kickoff, along with some Green Spot to soothe the frayed nerves (I'm partial to Wild Geese, but I hear that's for those naive American tourists).

But it may be, it could be, it might be, a lot better than your stomach tells you.

He might go to Chelsea!..We might get someone that is rubbish…As fans are we too fickle..Jesse gives the match plan to the players, do they stick too it. For me you can’t blame the board, the manager for player reaction..Gnonto has been a find for me..Good business. Thanks Ger, level headed response to overreacting as always..MOT!

Great stuff!! Thanks again 👌🏻

Bad mistakes in defence almost cost us the game but thankfully the boys came through. An excellent result in the end but boy did they put us through it. On the Victor Orta situation there is absolutely no reason to abuse anyone the way he has been. Yes he’s made mistakes but so has everyone. Spurs next and that will depend on what Spurs team turns up.

Great content Ger, always look to you now for my Leeds daily fix.

Balanced comments, as always. Great channel. Thanks, Ger.

In regard to Willy and Greenwood's performance. I would argue that if Bamford weren't injured, then JM would have put him on before Greenwood and Willy. If that Had happened, then I don't think we would be talking about a remarkable fightback and win!?

Ger, I agree with yer 100%
I just wish that Jesse would instruct the team that they need to mark up the opposition players, particularly in the box when we are defending.

we dont need to sign anymore players. Weve just proved that in our last 2 games. Also stuart dallas should be back soon who i think is a george best. he is a great player. Also jessie needs to start with joe up front. MOT

very true with victor orta, speak to him in a civil and honest manner. He is part of the team and he will handle the bad times with the good 🏈 . the 49er,s are comming 💲 . mot
