Because of reasons, I'm just looking at that game when we drew 3-3 with Villa under Bielsa. Look at that bench, ffs. We were trying to stay in the Premier League with that.

Really just underlines the exceptional job Bielsa did for us. Goes unrecognised everywhere else outside of Leeds just how good he was for us. An absolute giant, genius among men

Perhaps not as embarrassing as Crawley bringing on a Z-list celebrity, but this feels like the most needless Cup failure in a long while.

There's no reason, other than incompetence, that we've conspired to lose this. #LUFC

Morning #lufc

This will have virtually no bearing on whether Leeds Utd can defy the odds & survive relegation but I can’t help but be quite impressed by the way the club is recruiting within our strict PSR allowance of just £61m - a figure that represents absolute poverty by Premier League standards. #lufc

In the Orem we will need an outlet and MJ is the best at that role out of our 3 CF. Also will allow us to shunt BA for a more creative MF or to have Piroe as a second striker. MJ was awesome Vs Chelsea in 23/24; not a binary situation but his upside is worth another look as a sub at least IMO #LUFC

Disagree- he offers a presence and an outlet, leading the press, that's why he started the season as #1; didn't score enough and piroe coming on was bagging so made a change but meant we had to keep Aaronson to do the running and press, leaning heavily on wide players for creativity

Looks like a player to me. Great hold up play, can pick a pass, presses well, shoots hard and accurately to the corners. Only ever going to improve. Keep him and use him this season as an impact player #lufc

Got to think it's a good appointment for Archie, given Brentford and by extension Frank tried to sign him last year.

For the record, I absolutely think and believe Farke should be given a chance with #LUFC in the Premier League. He’s earned it.
Give him cash and financial support and see what he can do.
He’s not been given that with Norwich before.

That idiot Kinnear saying we turned down 10 million for Meslier in the summer. You wouldn’t get 10 quid for him now. Thank god AK is leaving, absolute chancer.
#lufc

FT. 2-2. An utter disaster. Had it won, chucked it away.
So much wrong with that equaliser - came from our throw. Awful touch Joseph. Low and hard finish but questions again of Meslier.
An absolute disaster. This side continue to put you through the wringer. Miserable. Crushing.

Championship points won by the current top three since Sheff United 1-3 Leeds on February 24th:

Burnley (13)
Sheffield United (13)
Leeds (6)

Oh Leeds.

Almost perfect in that awful run of fixtures, and then producing this. We don’t deserve promotion. #lufc

Perhaps my favourite thing about the brief wave of optimism regarding the run-in for this season was the many folk looking at our remaining fixtures & somehow tuning out that it’s essentially a comprehensive list of grizzled Championship bastards who will rightfully do anything to beat us. #lufc

3rd

Leeds United are bottling it into the playoffs in real time as I watch them implode with a whimper #lufc

It sure does feel like every team we play has a better goalkeeper than us.

Their keeper just came 40 yards to stop a counter attack. Ours couldn't read a ball from 70 yards away that ended up struck from the 6 yard line. #LUFC

Leeds United have absolutely folded under the first sign of pressure once again. Pathetic. #lufc

One keeper having a blinder, the other doing Meslier stuff. Unbelievable that we've decided to handicap ourselves like this.

On This Day: In 2017, Leeds completed the permanent signing of Pablo Hernandez from Al-Arabi after arriving on an initial six-month loan deal.

El Mago. 🎩🇪🇸 #LUFC

We genuinely coulda woulda shoulda been, what, 8 points clear? Swap our keeper with Blades' and it's at least 8 between us, at least. #LUFC

A plastic cutout man in goal would be better at this point. #lufc

He's dreadful and has been for the most part of 3 and a half years

In the past couple of weeks, Derby have beaten Portsmouth 4-0, West Brom 2-1 and drawn 0-0 with Burnley at Turf Moor. #LUFC limited the Rams to 0.18 xG and put up 2.16 xG of their own at Pride Park this evening. Not the most emphatic scoreline of the festive period but feels the most significant.

Meslier, Aaronson, Piroe #lufc

Bamford needs to be restrained and deployed as a DM. Take a leaf out of the Richarlison book because the fella just cannot finish his dinner nevermind a goalscoring chance #lufc
