You can only beat who's in front of you, and being a local derby it was never going to be a classic but overall I was disappointed by our display.

We were so much more dominant than the scoreline.

On the very odd accession the Blades were attacking, they looked dangerous, and they shouldn't.

Just reading 27 out of 30 points against the bottom 7 sides . That's remarkable . Our season is not decided on games against the top three or four . At least not THIS season !!!

That's a really impressive stat. I'd be surprised if any other team has done better than that
Chelsea certainly haven't.

Funny how on MOTD the blatant off the floor two footed assault on Tyler wasn't even mentioned

I was very impressed with Llorente and also how Roberts is looking increasingly better each game. I know he got the goal and assist but I felt Harrison made far too many errors in his crossing and decision making, Raphinha gave the ball away for their goal and he was sloppy at times. Dallas was my mom though he was a monster in midfield today.

Didn't catch the first half but Roberts involved in two key passes leading to goals today, putting through both Raphinha and Harrison. Very solid contribution.

Had a few too many drinks down in a mates garden so had to make do with the highlights this morning hungover. It looked like we had plenty of chances to kill the game and SU came into it a bit at the end. Job done another 3 points in the bag with a tough run of games coming up.

Jim Beglin was the pundit assistant commentator in our broadcast.

His comment was that Roberts has been very good of late and with his performances has 'said' to Rodrigo and Klich that if they want his spot, they are going to have to earn it.

Agree.

I lost count of the times we had great attacking opportunities on the break and wasted them with a poor final pass or poor finishing.

The Blunts are dross and we could and should have put them to the sword.

I must say that I enjoyed the excellent commentary from Peter Drury and Ali McCoist, none of the usual subliminal anti Leeds bias that is often apparent from MSM commentators - well done to them!

Tbh I'm expecting to be torn apart, we're not the first & won't be the last.
I'm expecting (hoping) we'll up our game and go toe to toe again.

Gonna be interesting to see what happens with Koch with Llorente and Phillips being the men in possession?

Also thought it was a bit shabby to drop Struijk for Cooper

Cooper gave some stupid free kicks away and looked rusty for me.

Upping our game may not be enough if they are at their best.

Hopefully Citeh put in a lack lustre performance as they did v their local rivals

McCoist was really funny about Alioski on his hands & knees. :lol: He's definitely a Leeds fan!

Far too many, we should have buried them.

One of the most one-sided matches even though we won by only one goal.

I’m wondering why I should ever do that? Some things are best forgotten 😬
