BEST TO BUST - Why Leeds United Dropped Points to Blackburn

[@SwissUrbanClimbing]

We were shyte...couldn`t believe it when we scored...reality check came fast...same old I thought. Small margins in this league, go 1:0 down and we will struggle to beat any team in this league.

No team can win every game and people need to calm down

[@PaulBrennan-b6m]

Valuable point couldn't understand why Daniel Farke took off Manor Solomon my man of the match was the player who took it to Blackburn and was creating stuff it was a pen.Got the pen and couldn't see out the match 😫FFS set piece again our down fall 😮 still TOP of the league valuable point for me and the blunts got beat 🙏come on Leeds stay focused marching on together we all love Leeds 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙

[@SwissUrbanClimbing]

More like chance missed to open a nice little gap. You must take your chances when they come or it will bite you in the arse. You can bet on that one.

[@anthonyc1312]

We was at the match and Blackburn came to get a point and they got the point! End of

[@garyhillman4993]

A point is bad. We were at home and needed 3 to move further away With a 5 point lead you have breathing space We need to sign a proper left back who can defend now and a no 10 and get this league won

[@SwissUrbanClimbing]

100% agree. You take your chances - the fact we scored was so out of the blue - or don`t. And you will get punished if you don`tv take them. People don`t realize that if we go a goal down to any team in this league we will struggle to beat them. When margins are small you can`t let chances slip. Same old throwing away 2 points. ps: Ans 100% agree in regard to signings...no gambling on getting no injuries, we must get players in. Sheff. Utd. will invest...we must. CAN`T afford not to get promoted!!!

[@joeblackburn42]

A point against a side that will be in the playoffs is nothing to sniff at, I don't mind it

[@SwissUrbanClimbing]

@@joeblackburn42 You will if we don`t beat Hull, or not? All close games...and draws take you nowhere. But maybe acceptable against a top 6 team.

[@1beckedorf]

I watched the game and as usual the opposition crammed the box and parked there for the rest of the game. Blackburn were cynically clumsy and got away with it due to the weather conditions.Leeds only choice was to skirt round their 18 yard box to find a way through. We need at least somebody tall enough for the set pieces, our side don’t have any height, and nobody following through to the 6 yard box. However I will applaud Leeds for their efforts over the closing month, after all we are Leeds and at the top of the championship.All the teams at the top dropped points and it’s down to travel fatigue,too many games over a short period, playing in poor conditions. and Carrying injuries. Leeds still have the best squad in the championship, and have the financial clout to tweak things, so let’s not get on a downer over a draw.

[@timschravendeel9640]

While leeds might have dominated, it didn’t show on the xg like you said. From the 1.4 created xg 0.79 was from the soft penalty. So the open play xg leeds created was very low. Rovers restricted leeds to very few good chances. In the end Rovers fully deserved a point.

[@raysamme3624]

Defenders are not organised at set pieces and corners. Eg. You have Willy Gnoto marking one of their big centre backs. Rodon, Struijk and Ampadu should be challenging for these crosses. It's a big issue. In the Premier League, Arsenal cause loads of problems for defenders. Their attackers stand at 120 degree to attack the ball. The defenders can't see the attackers and the ball at the same time. The Arsenal attackers are focussed on the flight of the ball and getting it into the net or the 'area of uncertainy'. simples. You can see that the Leeds defence have not worked on defending crosses into the box.

[@marksanderson6454]

Oh woe is us we didn't win. Quick sack Farke!!!! They came for a draw we didn't play well we didn't loose and remain top of the league with another point. Ups and down until May this is the championship, and we remain the team to beat until the final day.

[@TrPortg]

It was always going to be difficult game....they one of our bogey teams

[@the_unrepentant_anarchist.]

Who were the boos at the end directed at Joe, the team or the ref..? 🍄

[@joeblackburn42]

The ref, no doubt

[@peterhall-yu6cg]

It’s January it’s are usual fall apart month please not this year 🙏

[@SwissUrbanClimbing]

That was what I was prying after going 1:0 against Blackburn. We will fall apart if we don`t get players in.

[@John-ik1os]

A prolific striker please rather than a right back.

[@robertprice9938]

Bogle dead leg. Byram tired . I think.

[@robertprice9938]

Good side? Good in defence . But no real style of play? Im ok with a draw

[@lesglover9353]

Mentally and physically not strong enough.

[@robertprice9938]

Solomon off?
