The Match Preview: Stoke City V Leeds United

[@karenkirton4802]

A great Preview Ger & Danny. Let's get our away form back on track. With a win against Stoke. Have a great Christmas 🤶 Ger Danny and all Leeds fans MOT

[@karenkirton4802]

Wishing you and your wife. A Merry Christmas 🤶 have drink on me. All the very best to you both for £2025

[@LeedsUnitedTheView]

Same to you! Have a lovely time

[@alyxander161]

great show guys. For me, the fact all the stats are in the right place, and we are topping so many metrics suggests that Farke is doing his job in giving us the best chance and getting us into positions where we can win the league. Its on the players now, they have to match that. I do feel we need to invest to help with this, i hope the owners realise this and have learnt from last year

[@bucks1985]

Excellent preview ger . Danny is excellent guest - really knows his stuff . Happy Christmas to all .MOT

[@leedsinshetland]

A good podcast. I love the stat table from Chris/Data, odd though how so many folk are only focusing on the bottom three stats, but I guess that helps fuel their agenda for likes, rts, quotes, and vlogs. Hopefully, suspensions, injuries aside, and the hope of a couple up front incoming, we'll be up there come end of the season. We are doing better this season, and yes, no ipswich and Leicester making a joke of it.

[@OnlyLeedsBros]

Great preview lads! Brilliant to see Danny on love NALP! Happy Christmas lads!💙

[@fooshman5163]

Great show lads...not sure actually that 90 Points will guarantee promotion. SU & Burnley are strong and will push us all the way to the end and will probably also get the 90 point trophy 🙏

[@pbds1937]

3-2 Leeds - Tanaka finally gets the Goal he Deserves - MOT

[@normandog35]

Great job Ger & Danny! Love the Red Sox hat Danny growing up as Red Sox fan I see many similarities to the fan base with many years of frustration until 2004. Merry Christmas to you both MOT!

[@peterdockerty8077]

Ger thanks for the pod and thanks for your efforts. Have a great Xmas irrespective of LUFC and also would like to wish all the fans a great Xmas and new year 🍷🍻🥂🍔👍

[@Siege_Rabbit]

Great preview, is it funny how many second yellows have been given this week in the champo......

[@Trassik]

This team has been together for 6 months. The system is in place, i'm looking for the boys to really start hitting on all cylinders away as they are at home. Hard work.

[@michaelbrown2935]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year Ger godbless m8!

[@geoffreychadwick8230]

Ramazani in away games will show his worth when back starting.

[@jasbo9734]

I'm sure our rivals are having the same conversations and they will also be confident about getting promoted. If we don't strengthen our squad in January I suspect we'll start slipping backwards.

[@Jonesylmao]

Hope you’re enjoying the Quality Street Ger, Merry Christmas to you and your Wife.

[@stevebrown8019]

Thanks Ger and Danny. A very informative podcast. Enjoyed the stats section and it’s patently obvious that we must improve away from home starting at Stoke on 26 December. Merry Christmas to both of you.

[@psf8428]

We have a great team with plenty of ability, I'll be honest, I couldn't care what Farke says, he lost me at the end of last season, Only Farke can change the away form, if he can't he should go

[@TommyMD-cm2er]

Farke seemed genuinely happy about scoring 4 against Oxford, maybe now he's realised he can take the handbrake off and go for it away from home. Players need to work their socks off and fight for 90 minutes and we will win.

[@Pollllz]

Merry Christmas Ger & Danny! Thanks for the preview. I’m going for 2-1 Leeds and will be halfway down a bottle of Bailey’s on Boxing Day myself. Hopefully celebrating rather than drowning my sorrows🤞

[@marschelo]

Brenden has 6 league goals now, 2 direct assists. A goal involvment every 281 minutes. Hamer is 5/5, his average is a goal involvment every 314 minutes. Both play for top teams, so I think it's fair to compare. Add Brenden's massive lungs/engine and press tenacity and I think we might be at risk of losing our team's speed and balance if we bring in another type of CAM as a starter. But we do need an alternative with a different player profile.

[@ChrisPickering-h1l]

Now is the time to take the handbrake off. Just go for the win in every match. Look at the second half against Oxford.

[@PaulBrennan-b6m]

Hello 👋 gentlemen feeling positive for me the team better than last season our away form needs to improve it's more vital in January to get bodies in more than anytime in Leeds United's history to get us finally over the line 🙏🤞. This season reminds me of 1989/90 season when it was us and the blunts viaing for the Top two places we finished as champions 🏆 on goal difference 85points and the blunts finished on 85points both teams won 24 drawn 13 lost 9 and we went up in Top place goal difference. It's a must we win promotion like Danny says all our lads will be sold and for me it will take years to go up could be in the wilderness for year's and it doesn't bode well 😲. A number 10 would be essential for me hopefully a striker we have wanted a quality number 10 since we lost Pablo 🙏🤞I think the 49ers 🏈 are working behind the scenes like you say Ger Daniel Farke seems to be giving something away with a small smile 😁 thank gentlemen 🙏 Merry Christmas ⛄🦚 come on Santa improve our away form hopefully 6points but I would take 4points two tricky matches Leeds need to make sure Stoke don't bully us marching on together we all love Leeds keep fighting all Leeds aren't we 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙

[@oiyouoverhere1112]

We need a clinical 9. Someone with the confidence to go around the keeper, but not arrogant in that they ignore players in better positions. The Burnley miss from Joseph as an example. A truly clinical and confident Joseph, goes around Trafford and scores. How often are we clear one on one with the keeper, and we fluff our lines to either greed or lack of confidence to chip or go round the keeper.

[@leeedsonetwo]

Mes only there because Farke picks him, we needed a better keeper but Farke chose Mes. With this squad we should be top by several points. Do not forget that Farke is happy with away draws. Hope u have a great Christmas.

[@PaulSmith10000]

Lots of talk about #10 & Aronson, also risk of game time for a #10 loan vs other top champ teams. Firstly Aronson could be injured tomorrow, we don’t have a natural alternative hence Aronson playing every game, even with dips in form. Finally we can rotate and bring on a second #10 and I don’t think it is tough for a more physical, confident & talented #10 to displace him in the starting line up, especially away games

[@PatrickHiggins-f4n]

Happy christmas leeds

[@IPW133_MOT]

re Joffy - I see your point and I have to accept that. It's a fair comment.

[@herbert9241]

Some Leeds supporters are understandably anxious but some Stoke supporters are pretty much despondent half way through the season. The points are no more vital for either side, albeit for different reasons. Quietly confident here but expecting a tough test. I'm loathe to preview rival contenders' chances and - while I agree that Sheff U's upcoming fixtures look tough on paper - I wouldn't assume on them dropping a single point. I'm more concerned about our lads doing the necessary. Remember Ipswich last season - it honestly made me cringe how many Leeds commenters (present company not implied) thought they could wish Ipswich away. Try saying that out loud: "Wish Ipswich away." I'm not sure it gets any easier with repetition. But, yes, some interesting top end fixtures this Christmas and new year.

[@markpodlesak7204]

Burnley and Sheffield U will hardly lose for the rest of the season. Probably 95+ points. So our away form makes that target pretty difficult.

[@UnitedLeeds_1]

They can't win every game up against Each other a few times plus Sunderland and Blackburn are in there too impossible 😂

[@davidthornton9214]

We HAVE to sort the away form out, because we aren't going to win every home game from now until May

[@UnitedLeeds_1]

We could

[@geoffreychadwick8230]

Later in the season squad strength will come into the equation because of injuries and suspensions. Leeds and Sheff Utd will be in a good position.

[@Jonesylmao]

Stoke 19th on Home form. We have to be beating them.

[@gordonburnell1117]

Merry Christmas Ger, and Danny. Let's beat the crapola out of Stoke tomorrow and Derby on the 30th to finish 2024 off in style. MOT

[@andywrong3247]

Ger,unless I was dreaming Manchester United were sniffing around meslier,it just shows the gulf in drop off,joffy going to Scotland is a laugh,poor lads being caught in a 4 year vortex of groundhog Day,if we sell these fringe players most will need replacing..

[@LeedsUnitedTheView]

After mentioning arsenal with him and the shit I took, I left it alone.

[@geoffreychadwick8230]

Piroe also assists in scoring.

[@LeedsUnitedTheView]

He did. Very involved.

[@catspromotion]

Merry Christmas 🤶 guys some very interesting games boxing 🥊 day but Leeds will be 6 points behind SU by 8pm kick off

[@superTed3]
