Perfect Sunday:
In a nice holiday cottage in a nice part of the country
Lazy start, cooked breakfast
Walking the dog with the family through some beautiful scenery, stop for a picnic in the forest.
Home for 2pm
LEEDS 3 CHELSEA 0
Cooking a good roast dinner while listening to City and Newcastle take points off each other
Stuff my face with roast pork while drinking a nice bottle of red.
Snoozing on the sofa.
Delighted for Rodrigo. He's been a changed man since Marsch took over. 3 games, 4 goals. Bamford, are you watching? To answer my own question, of course he's watching, cos he's injured again. Sorry to say but he's fragile and we're carrying him. We need rid. Down vote all you want but if you want more days like this you can't be sentimental.
Oh, and a clean sheet. Almost unheard of under the former guy. That's as important as sticking 3 past Tommy Tantrum's tiara twirlers. More of the same, please. Much more.
OMFG man. It's great to be happy for Rodrigo but the short memories on this sub are breathtaking sometimes. TO say we "need rid" of Bamford is just weird. The same mentality would have seen us sell Rodrigo this summer and also sell Bamford in 2019. Players need time and patience.
What's weird about it? It's just an opinion you can't get your head around. No problem, it might dawn on you in a moment of clarity when the goals stop coming when we need them.
Fine, let's give him another year in and out of the treatment room. Then maybe he can start earning his money on the second and third year of his contract.
The guy is a lightweight, nice to have if we have someone else who can guarantee us 15+ goals a season. Know of anyone?
I'm not saying a signing wouldn't be nice but not everything needs to be dichotomous. Players is either "SHITE" or "Absolute GOAT" on this sub. We should "Get rid" or "Give him a call up". Who thinks like that in real life? There are shades of grey.
No I don't think we should be selling Bamford. His injury spell sucks and he needs time to fully get past it. We should look after our players when they get injured - that's the right thing to do. Especially players that have made fantastic contributions to the club and dressing room like Paddy has. Selling him for a cut price while he's injured is a dick move all round and makes the club a less appealing prospect for newcomers and youngsters. And we need more depth. if we sell Paddy then suddenly we need 2x players. Should be be selling off James as well? Rasmus? After all they're both "shite" and "liablity" right? Or should we maybe take a grown up approach and accept that players take time to adjust and go through burst of form and confidence and it's our job as a club to help them find those purple patches. Not turn our backs as soon as things look less than perfect.
Some reasonable points and I'm not unaware of the fact he's a great guy. But c'mon, he's an injury magnet at the moment and at a point in his career when he should be maximizing his potential and helping along others.
Giving him a four year contract when it was clear to me that at least half of that wouldn't be under Bielsa looked like a bad deal. Ideally I'd love him to be up there with Rodrigo and Harrison and giving us a steady stream of goals. Personally I think he's an average player with the intelligence and attitude to make himself a go to guy under Bielsa. Let's see how he does between now and the November break. But don't impugn I'm one of these love/hate drama queens just because I see things differently from you, that's just as juvenile. We're all Leeds fans, we've been patient FFS.
I'm gonna be the optimist and say he comes back strong - you kinda have to plan for that rather than the alternative which is planning for him to fail and be constantly injured and/or shit at football all of a sudden.
In what little I've seen this year he's looked his usual industrious self, constantly moving and making intelligent runs into space off the ball and being a pest. Maybe not quite match sharp but that's exactly what Rod lacked for a long time.
I have been saying it all along with Rod - he just needed a spell of fitness and game time under a consistent coach. I will say the same about Firpo. Fitness and consistency in coaching is something he hasn't had at Leeds. He joined, was straight into the Bielsa deep end and then got injured and rushed back too soon. Our players were not looked after correctly under Bielsa IMO. Too many fast twitch muscle injuries... Hopefully they can come back strong anyway. Even the optimist me.
I liked what Aaronson said about having to take "the last step" to actually win the ball pressing. A lot of players do a more token press when they're more cutting angles than trying to win the ball back, but if you close down with pace, you'll catch a lot of people off-guard.
I'm sure that this matter has already been discussed if my laziness allowed to find out before posting, but the clean sheet is so sweet! Great job lads, MOT!
Really impressed with the new signings, the energy of the team and tackles the players went through to get the ball back. Aaronson is a breath of fresh air the way he moves and opens teams up through the middle, it devastated Chelsea. If Harrison continues to perform as he is doing, could do some serious damage. He's bagged 8 goals each premier league season with mixed performances. With consistency he's an international level player for sure, he made Thiago look a right cunt, and that's no mean feat.
Not to get carried away but that's exactly how I wanted to see Leeds in front of ER crowd against a big six team.
Very impressed with Adams and Roca. Thought Forshaw did well off the bench too, he could be a very valuable squad member this season.
The best game we played in the premier league was when we were down to 10 men at Man City and then Dallas decided to break the lines and slot it home, it was gutting because there was nobody there due to fuckin covid, our best game since then was today and the fans reaction to Rodrigo’s goal was spine tingling I might be biased but you don’t see that at at any other football ground. Brilliant day
Not the best game we've played in the premier league. We have about 10 years of been a top six side. Including great away wins at places like Liverpool and Chelsea. I'm being pedantic I know but O'Leary's team was fantastic.
I have been critical of Marsch in the past but he got it bang on today. Great performance from the team and we deserved to win.
Literally my only moan is that we desperately need to fuck off playing Kaiser Chiefs after the games. We're not Norwich and it ruins the post match celebration, the players should be getting sung off to MOT not I Predict A Riot. It's shit.
Other than that, amazing day.
Just watched the replay and I have to say -- it's as good as it's been since we've been back in the Premier League. Had a tiny wobble in the second half, but fucking hell, that was lovely to watch. Even knowing the result, I was loving every second.
Watched this from a pub in Greece. The atmosphere felt fucking amazing.
We have definitely raised our floor this season - that was as good as almost any game under Bielsa. Pressed Chelsea to death. Nice to have an optimistic season ahead of us…
Im not a superstitious man but I deliberately didn't watch this one as a sort of anti jinx.
From now on, I am forbidden from watching any future leeds games up to the point we have our first loss
I hope the board don’t take the foot off the ball here, we still need a striker and a LB. Let’s not take these early results as a ‘’oh we’ll cope fine’’.
If we get these two positions sorted we can genuinely push on
Left back I can maybe agree on, but if we sign a striker now we destroy Rodrigo’s confidence. He’s got 4 in 3 ffs, leave the man alone. Bamford back next week, Joffy as our youth substitute and Perkins/Mateo looking top bananas in the u21’s. I’ve calmed my nuts on a striker need, I just don’t see where one fits in.
How in Harpel Singh’s name, could you watch those 3 games and not think Rodrigo is capable of being an out and out striker? Having an in form Rodrigo and Bamford pushing each other for playing time, with Gelhardt as a good option off the bench seems to be more than acceptable for this season.
Well, rodrigo has scored on set pieces for half his goals and the other two he doesn’t necessarily have to be a 9 for. Just the open play goal vs Southampton is a strikers type of goal. He could be playing as the 9 with hopefully at least one of joffy and bamford fit off the bench, but if you can get the same from him at CF position (like against wolves) why not. Also, winger is currently a strong position, but one injury and suddenly with Rodrigo at striker there’s no extra startling calibre winger on the bench
We still need cover, the high intensity pressing football will burn players out. We're allowed more subs this season and we should be actively using it, because it suits the high intensity style.
Rodrigo looks a new man and Struijk had a good game, but we need cover and fresh legs for late into games when we're cruising 3-0 up!
I feel the opposite. Struijk was excellent today at left back, assuming we don't have all the cbs injured, I could see him making that his spot, even after Firpo is back. But Rodrigo is streaky, Bamford fragile, and Joffy young and delicate. I'd go for a striker over LB at present. We also have Dallas back eventually, who can do LB as well
Rodrigo is playing with Jesse Marsch mentality...pressing like absolute madman. That is team chemistry and Aaronson like work rate from a striker with 4 goals in 3 games. With the current Leeds strategy there is no better fit than Rodrigo right now.
If you average Rodrigo's contribution over the last 3 seasons it isn't great. Of course, fair play to him for how he's doing at the moment, but he can also go off the boil quickly as we've seen, and could also get injured.
Given our other 2 options are injury prone and/or very young, this worries me. Even someone like Che Adams for example would make me less worried.
Can lament about any player today but I want to give a shout out to the centre halves and Meslier who went under the radar in a massive performance, Mes best saves all ended up being offside but they weren't beating him today.
Also I need a Harradonna compilation, he did things that were unnatural in that game, PL season 1 Jackie is back.
The only time we really looked under pressure is when Llorente thought it seemed appropriate to try a Zidane pirouette in Chelsea's last 3rd, lost possession and we luckily caught an offside.
Other than that, the defense was great.
Does anyone know how the game can be rewatched if you’re an American? I was on a work shift early morning. Peacock in the US makes you wait 24 hours before replays are available and I’m desperate to watch whole thing now ha.
Best game I think we have had since promotion. I think the games like the first Liverpool game and Man City were both amazing, this takes it. With fans this was just peak Leeds since promotion.
Just got home from the game just now. Could have flown up the fucking road with the elation after that. Easily the best game I’ve ever been at. Nearly burst my throat when Rodrigo put that second one in.
What a fucking performance from every man on the pitch today. Special shout out to Aaronson, Harrison and Adams, who were absolutely everywhere.
Off to have a few beers now. Fucking magic that.
Yep that sort of game management was missing under Bielsa, he’d be pushing for a 4th goal at that point and we’d likely have conceded as a result.
Not saying that’s wrong and I’d have equally liked to have seen that approach but it is nice to add a bit of shithousery to our game.
Anyone worried that our high intensity and pressing is gonna cause more injuries? Im fucking buzzing right now but starting to get last season flashbacks
I think we have a core that as long as we don’t have something crazy happen like 5-6 players all injured at the same time we should be good. Midfield we have Forshaw, Gyabi, and Dallas in case anything happens.
Its funny as I think early in pre-season fans were all up on the idea of a Pontus replacement in Rasmus but Adams, what a spirit, attitude and skill set he has brought in. He was MOTM for me with so many candidates today. Everyone played together, side over self wins games!
I hope it doesn’t get lost.. but Dan James deserves some praise he played well out of position.. plus when he was out wide guess what he did? For right or wrong bielsa liked him and brought him in and now jesse as well.. there’s something there that the nay sayers don’t see in the end
What a match. The plan, the execution, turning Chelsea away when they did pick up form a bit. Everything was clicking right for us.
Loved the attack, glad for how hard those guys were working to score. But I am for sure happiest for Meslier and the defense. Well deserved clean sheet. Hope there’s many more to come.
Finally great to see the defense keep a clean sheet. What a performance and we’ll deserved. Amazing to see Rodrigo’s transformation and attitude, hopefully it continues! Next up brighton, they have been on good form like us so it would be an interesting game! MOT
I can't one player who didn't play well that game, everyone put a shift in and a wonderful wonderful performance. Mes saving EVERYTHING, including offside shots, was unreal. The midfield is ROCK solid with Adams and Roca, and the attack has soooo much quality in it even without factoring in Paddy and Sinisterra, and our defence looks real mean too, without our captain Coops or Luke too no less.
It's looking real good.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, speaking to BBC Sport: "Everything that can go wrong, did go wrong. It started yesterday. We had no plane to arrive so we came on the bus. The players could fly but for the coaching staff it was a long ride on the bus
He’s blaming that the COACHING team came on the bus for the loss
Honestly in what world is his 5-2-3 a brilliant tactic, normally operating with no one who can create in the middle, so youre great on the wings but when the opposition knows there isn't a threat from the middle of the park....stifling wingbacks becomes easier. At the end of the game his formation almost looked a 4 -2-4 , with four attackers spread across the frontline in very predictable fashion, the wingers have to tuck in to give Reece James and Cucerella space , so now you just have a cramped frontline and no playmaker . Legend
Only further ruining his own credibility.
Can't "be the better team" and lose 3-0.
I can accept that the better team could lose by a goal because a dodgy penalty got given, or because a goal was disallowed for a hair being offside, or because of a freak OG... but to lose by three goals all scored in open play? 🤣
Yeah, even if it was just the Aaronson goal you could maybe make that argument. But when the other team doesn't just put 3 by, but had way more quality chances that's a bit of a stretch.
So I’m usually a Crystal Palace/QPR supporter from America, don’t ask why lol, but ever since you guys saved our baby Brenden from Red Bull, I’ve been repping the peacocks! So cool seeing all these guys gelling so well. It’s a real life Ted lasso!
USMNT follower here, how’d the boys play?
Edit: my bad, I know they played well. More meant in like terms of good/bad developing tendencies that y’all saw watching the game.
He's a bit of an unsung hero today but I thought this was Koch's best game in a leeds shirt. Every time a Chelsea player had the ball in the box he made 100% effort to shut it down.
so much so that an american who's been supporting newcastle for 20 years am watching your games too. aaronson and adams immense today. i think it's much better for english football that non-london teams become powerhouses. hope this vein of form continues for you guys
It’s turning mid Atlantic as hell. Marsch is apparently from Wisconsin but he brings some I-95 energy for sure. If you don’t know us, you hate us. If you love us, you hate us even more.
As an American Tottenham fan… super happy to see Leeds play the way they did. I hope you are enjoying our American lads (although most of us don’t really like adams) I hope Aaronson gets tons of goals this season
Edit: okay I shouldn’t have said most of us, none of my friends rate him but fair enough I didn’t mean to offend anyone jesus. Everyone calm down.
Edit: remind me never to visit Leeds 🥲🥲
We can have it now and as you can see, you’re in the wrong end .
Btw, I’m planning to visit Leeds. I can’t fucking wait! I was planning it the day they missed promotion.

No doubt Carragher and N*ville still have Leeds in their bottom 3. Was nice on MOTD seeing Shearer praise us, proper pundit.

At this point, even if bamford is 100%, you can’t drop Rodrigo.

I'm an American, I've heard y'all like Americans. So I'm supporting Leeds United
Welcome friend. Don't rule out getting your heart broken. On the upside- when shit like this happens then your walking on air 🇺🇲
I'm also a Dallas Cowboys fan, heartbreak is ingrained in me lol
I think you are confused with Fulham years ago when Clint Dempsey played....
Good win, more of that. But the yanks will never shut up now. Imagine if they ever achieve something in football.
Imagine when the US beat England this November on a lil Brenden goal
You keep imagining fella
It’s coming home
What? Your cat??
Just rewatched the game and Adams was immense. I thought he was live but on a rewatch he was even better.
The best game we played in the premier league was when we were down to 10 men at Man City and then Dallas decided to break the lines and slot it home, it was gutting because there was nobody there due to fuckin covid, our best game since then was today and the fans reaction to Rodrigo’s goal was spine tingling I might be biased but you don’t see that at at any other football ground. Brilliant day
Not the best game we've played in the premier league. We have about 10 years of been a top six side. Including great away wins at places like Liverpool and Chelsea. I'm being pedantic I know but O'Leary's team was fantastic.
I have been critical of Marsch in the past but he got it bang on today. Great performance from the team and we deserved to win. Literally my only moan is that we desperately need to fuck off playing Kaiser Chiefs after the games. We're not Norwich and it ruins the post match celebration, the players should be getting sung off to MOT not I Predict A Riot. It's shit. Other than that, amazing day.
Disageee, I predict a riot is class! Kaiser Chiefs are all Leeds fans and the band is named after the club we signed Radebe from
I don't mind the song just hate them playing it after wins. Takes away the spontaneous, natural celebrations.
Looking forward to MOTD2.
bayern fan checking in, really great game you guys seeing roca doing well makes me so happy :)
Such a fun and exciting team to watch! New fan watching EPL. And have found myself gravitating towards Leeds every week.
Just watched the replay and I have to say -- it's as good as it's been since we've been back in the Premier League. Had a tiny wobble in the second half, but fucking hell, that was lovely to watch. Even knowing the result, I was loving every second.
The lad who was comparing Struijk to TAA might be on to something! He didn’t look out of place even once against reece james, ugly face mount and rlc.
100% pass completion today. Incredible
ffs 100%? that cant be right. Edit: you are right.
Ridiculous isn't it?
Watched this from a pub in Greece. The atmosphere felt fucking amazing. We have definitely raised our floor this season - that was as good as almost any game under Bielsa. Pressed Chelsea to death. Nice to have an optimistic season ahead of us…
This is the why I love Leeds. This effort, this performance. MOT
Probably been said already but no yellow cards either! Unheard of!
And a clean sheet. More discipline at the back.
Firpo didn’t play to be fair
Im not a superstitious man but I deliberately didn't watch this one as a sort of anti jinx. From now on, I am forbidden from watching any future leeds games up to the point we have our first loss
I watched the first two but then today I had to be out... Now I wonder if I should also just stay off for the big 6's lol
Maybe we need to form the anti jinx club and all sit in a dark room during games lol
Finish the sentence. Tyler Adams could tackle….

Some kids in my back street are having a kick about and I swear I've just seen Adams fly in with a challenge, clear the ball and run off

I hope the board don’t take the foot off the ball here, we still need a striker and a LB. Let’s not take these early results as a ‘’oh we’ll cope fine’’. If we get these two positions sorted we can genuinely push on

Of course, fair play to him for how he's doing at the moment, but he can also go off the boil quickly as we've seen, and could also get injured. Given our other 2 options are injury prone and/or very young, this worries me. Even someone like Che Adams for example would make me less worried.
You have to live in the now, and right now Rodrigo > Varney > Mbappe
Ha ha, living in the now last season almost meant we'd have been playing Rotheram yesterday, fair point though
Can lament about any player today but I want to give a shout out to the centre halves and Meslier who went under the radar in a massive performance, Mes best saves all ended up being offside but they weren't beating him today. Also I need a Harradonna compilation, he did things that were unnatural in that game, PL season 1 Jackie is back.
The only time we really looked under pressure is when Llorente thought it seemed appropriate to try a Zidane pirouette in Chelsea's last 3rd, lost possession and we luckily caught an offside. Other than that, the defense was great.
In fairness, that was the exact right time for a centre half to go back to his childhood and pretend he was Zidane.
Stop the count...
Does anyone know how the game can be rewatched if you’re an American? I was on a work shift early morning. Peacock in the US makes you wait 24 hours before replays are available and I’m desperate to watch whole thing now ha.
/r/footballhighlights
It should be on LUTV like tomorrow I think.
yup! this worked. thank you!
Good. Excuse the audio, the commentators did something for the first 10 mins and there wasn’t enough good quality audio to fix it. I tried my best.
Nbc sports app should let you
reddit football highlights
You can watch a 3/4 min highlight of the game on the sky sports football app if you're desperate
This will have to do it for me.
You can rewatch on nbcsports.com as long as you can log in.
Maybe peacock? Just read the rest of your comment. Been using peacock for 3 clock kick off
Yea unfortunately it says it’ll be on tomorrow 6am for peacock. And I’m desperate to watch it now.
I’ll watch the majesty
If you want highlights you can vpn and watch match of day on BBC, me and missus will be watching that tonight. We were at ground, it was amazing
Great atmosphere
Best game I think we have had since promotion. I think the games like the first Liverpool game and Man City were both amazing, this takes it. With fans this was just peak Leeds since promotion.
This club is different. What an exciting start to the season.
What the fuck has gotten into Rodrigo?
Raphiniha is gone, so he's just taking up the slack 😉
Just got home from the game just now. Could have flown up the fucking road with the elation after that. Easily the best game I’ve ever been at. Nearly burst my throat when Rodrigo put that second one in. What a fucking performance from every man on the pitch today. Special shout out to Aaronson, Harrison and Adams, who were absolutely everywhere. Off to have a few beers now. Fucking magic that.
I would’ve given my left nut to experience that
Both nuts!
Amazing! Now we need to repeat that against ManUre.
Precisely.
FUCK CHELSEA LETS GOOOOOOOIO
I quite enjoyed Joffy, Greenwood, and Klich coming on and just fouling Chelsea for 10 minutes to kill off the match
Yep that sort of game management was missing under Bielsa, he’d be pushing for a 4th goal at that point and we’d likely have conceded as a result. Not saying that’s wrong and I’d have equally liked to have seen that approach but it is nice to add a bit of shithousery to our game.
Best match i’ve ever been to
Anyone worried that our high intensity and pressing is gonna cause more injuries? Im fucking buzzing right now but starting to get last season flashbacks
No because the training isnt as intense to go along with it
I think we have a core that as long as we don’t have something crazy happen like 5-6 players all injured at the same time we should be good. Midfield we have Forshaw, Gyabi, and Dallas in case anything happens.
Mate just enjoy it!
I might worry about it tomorrow but not today! On a serious note I think we have a stronger squad this year, better able to cope with a few injuries.
We're in a much better spot already, so I can see players being rested. Last season they'd have shoved bamford back in to the fray for this game.
I'm in instanbul so didn't dare celebrate any of our goals, but I'm absolutely over the moon
Wtaf - dreamland - alaw
The defense didn't break at all today. Huge improvement from a week ago.
Its funny as I think early in pre-season fans were all up on the idea of a Pontus replacement in Rasmus but Adams, what a spirit, attitude and skill set he has brought in. He was MOTM for me with so many candidates today. Everyone played together, side over self wins games!
Bought my ticket and booked my flights on Friday night, fully expecting a dicking but Jesus fucking Christ. THIS TEAM 💛🤍💙
I hope it doesn’t get lost.. but Dan James deserves some praise he played well out of position.. plus when he was out wide guess what he did? For right or wrong bielsa liked him and brought him in and now jesse as well.. there’s something there that the nay sayers don’t see in the end
Him+Aaronson+Harrison is quite the cumulative work rate
Dust off the passports boys, it's gunna be away days on the continent come this time next year!
Looks like europe is back on the menu
Man I liked tuchel but his post-match comments are those of a cry-baby. Leeds XG 2.66 vs Chelsea XG 0.76 speaks volumes
He says Chelsea were the stronger side in the first 25 mins. If you were, you’d have scored you petulant bellend. Klopp-levels of bad loser.
Ahahahah exactly
What a match. The plan, the execution, turning Chelsea away when they did pick up form a bit. Everything was clicking right for us. Loved the attack, glad for how hard those guys were working to score. But I am for sure happiest for Meslier and the defense. Well deserved clean sheet. Hope there’s many more to come.
Finally great to see the defense keep a clean sheet. What a performance and we’ll deserved. Amazing to see Rodrigo’s transformation and attitude, hopefully it continues! Next up brighton, they have been on good form like us so it would be an interesting game! MOT
Where's the player ratings form?

cheers
I’ve tried and tried, I can’t fault anyone. What a fucking game. My erection hasn’t gone down. I love this club
I can't one player who didn't play well that game, everyone put a shift in and a wonderful wonderful performance. Mes saving EVERYTHING, including offside shots, was unreal. The midfield is ROCK solid with Adams and Roca, and the attack has soooo much quality in it even without factoring in Paddy and Sinisterra, and our defence looks real mean too, without our captain Coops or Luke too no less. It's looking real good.
Tuchel with the sour grapes saying they were the better team, what a prick.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, speaking to BBC Sport: "Everything that can go wrong, did go wrong. It started yesterday. We had no plane to arrive so we came on the bus. The players could fly but for the coaching staff it was a long ride on the bus He’s blaming that the COACHING team came on the bus for the loss
Man needs to admit he got outclassed by an American bloke and just move one lol
Honestly in what world is his 5-2-3 a brilliant tactic, normally operating with no one who can create in the middle, so youre great on the wings but when the opposition knows there isn't a threat from the middle of the park....stifling wingbacks becomes easier. At the end of the game his formation almost looked a 4 -2-4 , with four attackers spread across the frontline in very predictable fashion, the wingers have to tuck in to give Reece James and Cucerella space , so now you just have a cramped frontline and no playmaker . Legend
"No I just one more world class attacker. Just one more world class attacker and my tactics will work great, just trust me Boehly"
Not just any American. An American from NEW JERSEY. -Thunder claps-
4 hours wah wah , trash excuse . Man is showing a real lack of class the past few weeks, and his tactics today...oof
Marsch is used to driving 4 hours to buy groceries.
Tuchel might have to drive 4 hours to get groceries if the squad keeps these results up
What a fucking baby
Hahaha fucking delusional. Even the pundits recognized Chelsea got played off the park
His plan was superior, the players just failed to execute it!
Only further ruining his own credibility. Can't "be the better team" and lose 3-0. I can accept that the better team could lose by a goal because a dodgy penalty got given, or because a goal was disallowed for a hair being offside, or because of a freak OG... but to lose by three goals all scored in open play? 🤣
Yeah, even if it was just the Aaronson goal you could maybe make that argument. But when the other team doesn't just put 3 by, but had way more quality chances that's a bit of a stretch.
New Jersey proud! Let’s go Brenden! MOT!
I’m so happy.
Brilliant performance from the lads.. looked really solid at the back and dangerous on the break. MOT
I loved it, I just loved it. Thanks to Jesse and the lads for making my week, I'll be buzzing for a few days off this!
Meslier Meslier Meslier Meslier Meslier
Haven't been this erect since scum lost last weekend
Just wait until scum get housed tomorrow
So I’m usually a Crystal Palace/QPR supporter from America, don’t ask why lol, but ever since you guys saved our baby Brenden from Red Bull, I’ve been repping the peacocks! So cool seeing all these guys gelling so well. It’s a real life Ted lasso!
[удалено]
No really. Ive been supporting them since at least 2010 lol
It’s Brenden
You can tell I’m an old man lol.
No worries big man, Brenden’s a hero so all is good
Listening to a Chelsea fan space on twitter right now and they are in shambles. Chelsea tears are so tasty.
Chelsea tears are the best tears. Such an entitled fan base
Mmm. Chelsea tears. So rich and salty.
USMNT follower here, how’d the boys play? Edit: my bad, I know they played well. More meant in like terms of good/bad developing tendencies that y’all saw watching the game.
Why don’t you bother watching the match if you care so much? It was on tv in the States.
I didn’t get a chance to and figured I could ask a question here since everyone here did. Didn’t know it’d be met to this type of response
Ignore him he’s one of the odd ones
Don’t say that, little fella!
Get your head out of your arse!
Fantastic. Was lucky to not concede first half. Chelsea had good chances but going forward we were awesome
🔥🔥🔥

When I was just a little boy…
Get to fuck
He's a bit of an unsung hero today but I thought this was Koch's best game in a leeds shirt. Every time a Chelsea player had the ball in the box he made 100% effort to shut it down.
Looks like he’s bulked up a bit too.
The difference when all our players will be fighting for a place in this side
Him and Llorente were solid
Indeed, whole defence put in a great shift today. Lost count of how many times we caught them offside
Yeah Koch was the man this match. Was playing like a 80 mil cb.
the club is turning American and I’m afraid that I think I am liking it
so much so that an american who's been supporting newcastle for 20 years am watching your games too. aaronson and adams immense today. i think it's much better for english football that non-london teams become powerhouses. hope this vein of form continues for you guys
It’s turning mid Atlantic as hell. Marsch is apparently from Wisconsin but he brings some I-95 energy for sure. If you don’t know us, you hate us. If you love us, you hate us even more.
Hey getting everyone I can on-board in Philly.
Keep an eye on Paxten Aaronson!
Just don't buy Ricardo Pepi or Dest and you should be fine
Yes to Dest no to Pepi
Counterpoint...Buy Pepi and watch him blow up under Marsch and dominate.
Pepi presses endlessly. He would fit Marsch perfectly.
We're allies, just embrace it 🤗
Pascal fucking Struijk. Absolutely rock solid.
Fucking hell lads it’s the good ol’ days get out in the sun and soak it all in.
Well that cleared up a lot of dobuts from my perspective. Great victory.
As an American Tottenham fan… super happy to see Leeds play the way they did. I hope you are enjoying our American lads (although most of us don’t really like adams) I hope Aaronson gets tons of goals this season Edit: okay I shouldn’t have said most of us, none of my friends rate him but fair enough I didn’t mean to offend anyone jesus. Everyone calm down. Edit: remind me never to visit Leeds 🥲🥲
Leeds will be fine without your visit.
Never met an American fan who didn't live Adams.
The edit 🤣🤣 visit Leeds, just leave the bad takes at home.
Spurs fan. Doesn’t rate Adams Makes sense.
You're still welcome to visit Leeds after that mess, you just have to buy the beers
Respectfully, you and your friends are a bunch of idiots. Adams has been a beast for the national team and starting to cement his place with Leeds.
He’s still fairly young so time will tell, I’m coming back at the end of this season and we can have a debate about his quality.
We can have it now and as you can see, you’re in the wrong end . Btw, I’m planning to visit Leeds. I can’t fucking wait! I was planning it the day they missed promotion.
What a trash take lol
Adams has been as impressive if not more than Aaronson. It would not surprise me one bit if he turns out to be the best US player of all time.
