I’d like a group with Uruguay and Panama with England. Two ex Leeds managers, and Cape Verde to keep it interesting. Let’s hope we avoid Italy though, who’ll be in the 4th pot if they win their European playoff 😬

Big Dirty Leeds only had 29% possession, but we had a whopping 72% of the combined XG 😆 What a performance! Well worth the awful drive home over the M62. #LUFC have a new style of play and a formation that works - now use it again versus Liverpool 🦾

Imagine Farke deviates tactically (🙄) & plays a back 3 for Leeds today (counterattacking). Pasc, Joe & Bijol central, Bogle & Gabi wingbacks, Amps at DM, Gruev & Tanaka at CM, then a big man/little man front 2 of DCL & Gnonto so someone’s always near the target man to recycle balls out wide. #LUFC

What a day! However I’ve always wondered where this woman thought she was, and I’ve often thought about how pleased I was at the time that she seemed completely confused and annoyed at our shared joy ruining her completely pointless shopping trip 😂

Goals scored after Farke makes his usual 70th minute onwards subs = 1. Goals conceded after he’s generally made his first subs = 10. His use of subs to positively change a game is nonexistent 🙄 #LUFC

Interesting that some of the reasons that Farke got sacked from the Gladbach job before joining Leeds, was that … sound familiar? 🙄

Even with all this season’s troubles for Leeds, at least we’re not Birmingham City fans who have an upturned round toddler’s play table to look forward to as their new stadium 😂 #LUFC

Everyone with a sociably-responsible & compassionate mind is worrying about getting a potential Reform far-right government in 2029. But, the reality is that we’ve currently got one … as this is certainly NO LONGER the Labour party anyone of sound mind voted for 🤬😬 @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Each of Leeds 3 wins have been followed by no wins for 3 games afterwards - 1 win, 1 draw & 2 losses per 4-game series. We’re now one game away from the end of the first 3 series of 4 games, and if the trend continues then Villa will be a draw. But after that … 😬 #LUFC

Today is a “must win”, so here’s your Leeds lottery question: If we lose today & then get the almost 0pts expected from the run of games Villa to Liverpool, which of the 3 “winnable” games following that does Farke get sacked, to give a new manager the January window to try and save us? #LUFC

I doubt you'll go with this one. But, maybe Leeds journos and fans should start asking this charlatan some real questions??? I hope you give Marathe a very uncomfortable time. Anything less would be a waste of your (and our) time. @dan.thesquareball.net I'm sure you agree. #LUFC

Tbf Josey, I’ve always like your optimism 😄 The stats back you up too. Leeds have averaged one incoming player on deadline day over the past 10yrs. Notably Ao last year, Anthony in ‘23, Willy in ‘22, DJ in ‘21. It’s a big rabbit they need to pull out of the hat tomorrow though! #LUFC

Last time (2020) we spent £15m+ on only four players, and spending less in total than we have so far this summer.

Ten players in for less than £10m cost each. This approach by Leeds is almost the definition of a club preparing for a season in the championship next year = buying players who won’t leave if we’re relegated. Yo-yo our way back 🤦🏻♂️ #LUFC has rolled the dice, it had better work. Not ambitious enough!

Leeds fans. Just take your dog for a walk in the countryside and forget about the 5-0. Move on. Arsenal have been a top side for a LONG time, and that gap is too big with a starting 11 that includes 8 players from our championship side. #LUFC not defined by one game 💪🏻
