In my amateur playing days 35+ years ago I never wanted to take them. as I thought I’d probably miss and let the team down. At professional level the pressure must be enormous. I still remember the one I missed over 40 years ago in a cup semi final, every time there's a penalty shootout I can see my right foot kick, hear it skidding over the ground and hitting the inside of the post and coming out.

Davefevs Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Didn’t see it all. Said to Joe this morning that I think Leeds will do ok against the good sides, a bit like Wolves did when they went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Who would've thought when Leeds hit three past City at Ashton Gate in their opening league fixture of last season that they would also score three away from home at Anfield in their opening league fixture of this season. To top it all who would've thought that the attendance at Ashton Gate would be far larger than at Anfield. A year (and a month)is a long time in football.

It's the games against Burnley they'll need to stay on top form, not Liverpool, City, arsenal etc Still think they'll stay up. A couple of really talented players and an outstanding coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I see the Leeds w***athon in the press has kicked off ‘16 years with their noses pressed up against the PL window ‘ - yeah especially that time they were doing it from league 1 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54134753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird1 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 The pre season kick off love in for Leeds was vomit inducing, but they produced a tremendous performance, a draw would have satisfied my dislike for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Fantastic game to watch to be fair. Liverpool looked flakey at the back but you have to say Leeds were impressive. They pressed so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds didn't look out of place against one of the best teams in the world. They are easily the best team to come out of the Championship in many years. They'll finish top 8. Better than the likes of Wolves/Sheff Utd and Burnley. Nice to read your comments Oldland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964w Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks chaps for your kind comments, must have been a great game for the neutrals, I enjoyed the game even though we lost. Three points for the robins too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Was a very entertaining game. Leeds look like they could be good, Liverpool not usually so vulnerable! Strong addition to the PL IMO. Do I think they're on the level of Wolves two years ago? Probably not. However should have a goal of pushing for the top half, and as they integrate Koch and Rodrigo that should benefit them further. Looking from the outside, think they need another CM. Forshaw could slot into a 3 but he seems like he's perennially injured. Possibly another CB needed too if Cooper and Berardi injured for long, and another LB. Partly for depth as much as starting. Talking of good additions, I think Brentford could've surprised a few. That front 3, improved defensively, ball playing keeper, good in possession yet in midfield structure. This premise is based on them having kept same squad while making some additions both for upgrades in a few areas, and depth as well. Would've been a more intriguing addition than Fulham or West Brom IMO. Still think could have surprised some too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played a poor Liverpool team, conceded 4 goals and lost. They would have been "up" for this game as well. Norwich started last season positively but didn't change their style of play and were relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 In fairness to Leeds they will win over quite a few fans with their never say die attitude. A real breath of fresh air. I think they will more than hold their own this season. They have a really top coach and in Kalvin Phillips a real gem and a local Leeds lad. Never thought in a million years I would say that though!

They were poor compared to the standards they set last year is what I meant. Thats probably the worst they will defend all year - especially in defence.

It's not much of an achievement to score a penalty though Ever taken one under any pressure? Second one in the same game is always a battle of minds too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
