Take a bow ZALIUKAS

Post by CSA »

Without any doubt whatsoever the worst performance from a CB I have seen in an LUFC shirt...
Don't get me started on Austin...

Dreadful indeed after five or six MOTM performances.....i'd give Z another chance next week

Austin is a lost cause & is culpable for much of our midfield problems

Yeah can see that he was awful but so was everyone .Personally i dont` rate our system and think we`d need four at the back to keep it tight.Midfield any three could do at the moment all you really want is two at least to be very good ball passers and a solid worker.Uptop one or two strikers and one goal poacher .striker one to at the very least be able to control and of course pass well but particuraly hold on to the damn thing.

TEN in defence won't help, if they can't communicate or even have the fekkin ability to pick up attacking players.
Bring in 5 defenders who never trained or played together before and they will do better than those tossers today did. :x

I`m going to reserve judgement until we meet Leicester next weekend. That`s on manager so far and team that will play this game.Promotion or bust for them this season and a good yardstick for us.We could have beaten leicester this season after today not to sure but that games gone.If we don`t improve the basics in pass and move we`ll lose .

I seen goals from 1st half and watched most of second half, Zali had one of those games when nothing went right for him or for anyone in a Leeds shirt for that matter. What i will say though is that your midfield left the defence exposed for the majority of the match and Wednesday must have felt all their Christmases had come at once. Why your manager never changed anything formation wise is beyond me (sending off apart). As for Zali as someone else said he is only as good as those around him, and confidence will go if everyone is having a bad game. Heard people say he has been your M of M in a few matches, and was consistently good in Scotland, also he had Luis Suarez in his back pocket at Anfield in the Europa League match last season for Hearts.

You guys will come good again, just a form dip that every club goes thru. Although it may take a few games as you face a top Leicester team in the next match, this is one where Mcdermott cannot leave the defence exposed.

Anyway top support from you boys even when five down yesterday, could clearly hear you outsing the Wednesday Boy Band. :tup:

That's right, a shitty result and we jump on the back of the best performing player in recent weeks.

Let's get a grip.

yes this...as fans we must be able to identify quality and class over form...Again this is not a player issue but a manager one...BMC must improve...

Thanks & spot on Hearts :tup:

Our midfield is as open as the Red Sea leaving our defenders totally exposed

Correct on Zaliukas he has been MOTM on 5 occasions out of the 10 games he's played for Leeds

Football fans in general are erratic with there knee-jerk reactions & comments.....i'm pretty certain Z will have a big part to play in LUFC's future

Exactly Faaip he is making far too many errors from game to game for my liking, needs to make some tough decisions if he wishes to be a successful manager at Leeds. Time will tell !

I hope so to 1964 but cant say that about too many others.A good old cliche as they say " we are where we are" and every player and staff included needs to stick at this.Can anyone really expect BmcD to get the chop at this stage its` crazy and a time for some cool. Monday is upon us and Leeds United needs many things can money put it alright? of course not it helps but it really is down to a still recent new ,and young manager.lets` keep some perspective and let things hopefully turn out right.
