Really struggling to find enthusiasm for this one after a year of empty stadiums and our owners busy selling our soul to Mammon

Great game of open football. Everyone working their nuts off.

Fabs making a big mistake every 10 mins isnā€™t reassuring.
Gini not getting back to help out the CBs not good.
TAA getting up the pitch good.
ManƩ scoring good.
Mixed bag but we are hanging on to the clean sheet and have scored. :smiley:

I am the opposite it is great to see 2 teams trying to play progressive football in their own indomintable way

Monday night matches are shite, arenā€™t they? Iā€™m now on my half-time cup of cocoa.

They are when you live in the US so are still at work, but cleverly block off your calendar so you can have a sneaky watch only for your colleague to be savvy with your game and schedule shit for you anyway

According to some nothing from Thiago, however the 1st 2 clips of runs and passes involves Thiago passing the ball in behind for Mane and Trent

Honestly so distinterested in this match - feel like Iā€™m forcing myself to watch out of habit. Didnā€™t even care when Sadio scored

The movement from Trent for the goal should be played to every young player, he makes is run as the defender turns his attention to the ball

Same again second half and another couple of goals.

Professional performance so far, doing just enough to win. To what end weā€™ll see but at least weā€™re doing what really matters, where it matters.

And Mo sitting on the bench smiling :rofl:

HT 0-1:

I have a stream without that stupid fake noise, and itā€™s enjoying: both managers bellowing their orders in frantic manner. :rofl:

Good first half from our lads. They take the game to Leeds, and enjoy a lot of opportunities on the flanks. Trent and Robbo very energetic and giving them headaches. A first goal after a long drought from ManƩ, coming from a beautiful move (incredible ball from Jota towards Trent, who made a wonderful cushioned ball towards Sadio).

At the back, we are solid so far. Leeds havenā€™t had much joy yet, hopefully it stays like that.

That being said, our lads havenā€™t been clinical enough, given the space afforded to them. Maybe Salah will come on at some point to add some much needed sharpness up front.

Itā€™s good to be in front, but the job needs to be finished by scoring one or two more. The space will be there, so letā€™s make the most of it!

Fair play to the players they havenā€™t let the off field circus activity affect their performance.

Iā€™m enjoying how open the play has been. Finally not playing a side that wants to sit deep and let us have possession. Leeds are so naive at the back though, I am hoping our final 3rd gets better this half.

I also think Kabak has been really good.

Maybe Mo will come on later in the 2bd half.

Kabak is a bloody good footballer, going to be hugeā€¦ only 21.
