Plymouth Argyle v Leeds Utd Match Thread

I disagree - they huffed and puffed but they didn’t create much. We hit the woodwork twice, should have had a pen if the ref played DJ the advantage on the initial challenge. Then there was the own goal which was a marginal offside against Gnonto.
They created a couple of half chances - we defended well for the most part.

I'm not sure about the penalty. The ball was going the opposite way and it looked like James threw himself over the leg. It could have been a penalty. But it all looked a bit weird. The ball was behind the direction he was falling. He should have been turning back the other way rather than falling over the leg. Just my read and maybe that's what the referee saw.

We miss the work rate Paddy puts in when we’re under the cosh a bit

Shhh, let em figure it out.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Gnonto, Kamara, Ampadu & Rodon brilliant today

I thought that was Kamara's best game in quite a while. He was effective at both ends of the pitch.

[Kennyb41]

Well Farke has made one change and that is switching Piroe (to the 10) and Rutter (to the 9)

That was like that Ayling moment again when he scored, if ya don't know which, ask Faaip

[Kennyb41]

Piroe and Rutter swapped now. Rutter at 9

Well who'da thunk Andrew huh ? Not 3 on here that's fer sure.

Agreed, Andrew. Some really nice link-up play today.

[Kennyb41]

Piroe at 10 with the assist

Rutter at 9 with the goal

Oh ffs, he's a damn idiot that Farke guy

[Kennyb41]

And confident. With his goalscoring record, I expected him to lay it off to Summerville

I'm so glad he didn't, he's a little greedy twat that Jimmy, give him some of his own medicine, he could lay off some wonderful balls at times but continually wants to get it on his right and shoot, experience that, lack of.

[Kennyb41]

For all those thinking Piroe is a better 9 than Bamford ....

Rutter was playing 9

Now, James is playing 9

Shhh, they put their fingers in their ears.

Until Piroe does 10 mins that is.

[Kennyb41]

Farke spotted the problem moving Piroe into the No.10 role & pushing Rutter forward who continuously lost possession putting us on the back foot

Shhhh, apparently 3 of em have decided it's our best shot going forward till season end tha knows, 'The internet squad' i've politely named them.

[Kennyb41]

Gnonto, Kamara, Ampadu & Rodon brilliant today

Nowt for Gruev Sid ?

He slips under the radar tha knows.

[1964white]

We will John.

Our midfield/defence will have to work harder today.

What did I say would happen without Bamford?

[1964white]

I thought that was Kamara's best game in quite a while. He was effective at both ends of the pitch.

Kamara was brilliant, Andrew.

I agree, it was pretty comfortable and deserved with the points you've already made. I must admit though, we were very ordinary when Plymouth made their change of tac at h/t, and it was they that pushed us back, and not us taking the foot off, it worried me how they did it so easily, a bit of a wake up call.

[JoeDenver]

Shhhh, don't tell the feckin Goonsquad

I’ll try and keep quiet

He truly is a 9.5…a replacement for both Rutter and Bamford. But plays more effectively as a 10 when playing with either of them. But Piroe played more as a 9 last match. I empathize with Farke on the Piroe situation as I’m sure he finds him to be a conundrum.

[1964white]

Nowt for Gruev Sid ?

He slips under the radar

In my first MOTM 5, Kenny boy.

[Kennyb41]

Spot on. I though Rutter had a mare in terms of losing possession in the 10 role and putting us under pressure. Great pass to Gnonto and took his goal well but you can see why Farke had him and Piroe the other way round earlier in the season. Can't keep losing the ball today like he did especially if it is around the centre circle.

[1964white]

Oh and Don Goodman is a twat

"Summerville trying to force a move in the summer"

Goodman said . . . .

Didn't happen

He couldn't remember Sinisterra's name, so he threw in Summerville

Goodman proving he's still a twat.

[1964white]

My post immediately after the game.

Farke spotted the problem moving Piroe into the No.10 role & pushing Rutter forward who continuously lost possession putting us on the back foot

Georginio went from villain to hero.

SKY having a laugh, giving the man of the match to Rutter.

Gnonto was our best forward.

Summerville had a stinker.

[JoeDenver]

Shhh, let em figure it out.

I think many are in agreement on this. Piroe is a puzzle. Just doesn’t seem to be the ideal fit for Farke’s system…which is why a fit Paddy is first choice for us.
