I'm guessing more than a few Prem managers were watching that match and taking a lot of notes.
Well pleased with that. Center halves looked dodgy. But great to score 3 at Anfield

And 2 centre backs who don't know each other, let alone played together. Proud as fook, great performance, even better team spirit. The heat is on .
That Michael Oliver is a full weight cunt,
Leeds played really well.
Loving the way Bielsa prowled the touch line..,fascinating to watch him.
Best team won.
Leeds are well and truly back though,
Check out the post above from CBIT where he does that “hmmm” thing!
Goodnight.
SardineTree Fucking hell, had a shock there when you replied to BLB

Thought I'd replied to White Dragon. Don't understand Cyberworld!!
Both teams will play better. Center backs need to get to know each other and develop a partnership. That said, I think Cooper will be one half of our CB duo.
No disgrace, we played very well. Two disallowed, Koch tripped for Van Dijk's goal (not sure who/ how, as he was also impeded again later on for their disallowed goal). Man for man they are all better than us, so that's a great performance. I thought Harrison's goal start to finish was a beauty. And that pass for it from Phillips, jesus christ, brilliant.
please Bamford has got the mark early doors, that will so his confidence no harm against arguably the best centre-half in the world.
Never been prouder, took it to the league champions and gave them a game [Salah: "they are really tough"]. Never gave them much chance to breathe (52% possession). 3-3 and we kept looking for a 4th, because we believed we could. All when an easier point was on offer. This really typifies this team. Heads never dropped. Attack, attack, attack. Liverpool were just a team to beat. Leave your pedigree, history and branding at the door because we're going to press you until you roll over, whoever you are. Iffy penalty aside we'd have taken a point. Apparently we're going to really struggle in this league? 😃 Those Talking Heads, like Ohara, that spout this tripe obviously don't know Bielsa nor this set of lads. Fulham next. Must remember to have Klich off the bench in my fantasy team this time (team of the week with 9 points to his name against Liverpool, I rightly did not see that, I won't be so disbelieving against lesser teams) WE GO AGAIN! AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
Fucking brilliant, absolutely superb. That just seriously raised the number of players that want to play for Leeds.
Just realised we've got Hull on Wednesday.
Its rare I have ever felt 'we were cheated' when we have left Anfield but I have that 'bollocks' feeling at the moment. We need to sort out that preferential treatment top flight clubs get with the referee. Yes it was a pen, yes it was a pen but have a good look at the Costa no pen when the slighest of touches WAS made on Costas ankle so if the 2nd pen WAS a pen then so was Costas.
The Good - that 2nd half performance when we equalled and indeed played better better than the hosts. Aylings performance. Thought he upped his game. Well played. and Bamford did what he is there to do. Put the ball in the net,
The bad - that 1st half performance. We couldnt handle the speed and intensity around the midfield area. Herandez - looked like he was struggling with the speed of the game. Suprised he started to be honest. Can see him becoming more and more a subs bench player
The jurys out - Harrison and Costa. Moments of brilliance which only adds to my frustration. Yes they provide cover in defence but I am not seeing enough creativity and attacking play over the 90 minutes.
The defence could be our Achilles heel. Dont want to say too much yet as it is a totally new pairing but we may well be short in that area.
Harvest U23s hopefully. League cup is now a reserve competition until the quarter finals.
heyho not sure. Bit unlucky with the first pen, 2nd goal was obstruction on Koch by Mane and their 2nd pen was all about strikers doing what they don’t do best.
cant argue with Salam’s second, great finish although it should have been cleared.
Reggie_Perrin Nope. Full strength for me. Let's try and win something for a change.
Harvest might your preference but generally speaking that’s what it is.
I was wondering if Rodrigo might think in the back of his mind that he owes his team mates something now.
Struijk is impressing me.
