Today obviously isn't a 'must win' game for Leeds but considering Sunderland's struggles so far, their defensive issues & also the fact they had a tough game on Thursday, it is a game we should be winning if we really are as good as we believe. We need to start converting our draws into wins.

Just a word of advice to you good people but be very careful when putting away your nasal sprays & your Superglue's, as some of them look VERY similar & there is always the potential for an embarrassing mishap!

Played 7 in the league so far this season & only scored more than 1 goal against Newcastle. 5 games scoring 1 & 1 game scoring 0. This was always likely to happen when our summer transfer window was so focused on defensive players.

Okay, as much as i like the fella & rate him as a player, the time has come for a discussion as to what's happened to Stach this season? Scored the FK in the opening game & since then, no G/A contributions. We need more from him.

Neville saying there that this is the most fired up he's seen scum so far this season, but yeah, it's our cup final & just another game to them! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

Just an observation here but Bijol seems to have fallen out of favour with DF, with Justin & Elvedi now ahead of him (Tarik is clearly our no. 1 CB). Wonder what's gonna happen when Rodon comes back?

Just read that Nmecha won't sign a new contract without guarantees of more playing time. Whilst i understand his thinking, he hasn't shown enough to oust DCL, so we're gonna need a new 9, & hopefully one who'll genuinely challenge DCL for a start going forwards.

Considering that: 1 - they're the reigning Champs 2 - they're the favourites to win it again this season. 3 - it was at their ground. 4 - which is in London, not a happy hunting ground for us. 5 - after an international break, where we've struggled of late too. I think we can take a lot of +++

Although i am disappointed with the score today, i was very happy with what i saw of the first 60 of the game or so, & it's clear we've made big improvements from last season. The fact we are disappointed to lose only 2-1 to the reigning champs & the favourites to win this years trophy is good sign.

The big difference today was their subs cost ยฃ265m & ours cost ยฃ45m (30 of which was BA!), plus Arteta was about to make subs before they scored but then still made the subs after they'd scored to keep their feet on our throats, whereas DF is too often reactive & timid with his sub decisions.

I know it wasn't BA's fault we lost, but DF bringing him on when we need a goal is so illogical! He can be useful when we're trying to not concede but that's it at this level. Why not bring on Longstaff, who at least matches up physically with a team like Arsenal. This is my main issue with DF!

Glad to hear that it looks like Bahoya is likely going to be fit for tomorrow, so he be able to sit on the bench to see Aaronson being brought on after 60 & then for him to get on for about 90 seconds at the end of the game ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜œ

Anyone else a bit confused by Farke saying that he's delighted for Trafford for the "two games, two wins" he got for England, considering we lost 3-2 to Spain in the first game?! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

According to the BBC website, last season 13 teams finished within 4 places of their positions after 5 games & over last 10 seasons 138 out of 200 did the same so, according to these stats, we have about a 2/3 chance of finishing between 1st & 9th! I'll gladly take those odds! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™ #LUFC

As boring as this extended break from proper football has been, i have enjoyed seeing some much better, more positive performances from England though. Having said that, bring on Arsenal now! #LUFC

Morcambe & Wise are considered perhaps the best British comedy duo ever but they did so many sketches where they are 2 adult males living together, & even share a bedroom, which nowadays would be called 'woke' by the GBNews lot, but they're definitely part of British culture though, so which is it?

Just looking up Como & saw something kinda strange/interesting. They've 10 points after 5 & are sitting 8th in the league while we have 9 from 5 & are 5th, so have a point less but are 3 spots higher. Nothing incredible, clearly, but just seemed interesting to me, the fickleness of sport.

Trafford starting again tonight. That does surprise me as couldn't see Pickford on the bench twice in a row. Our lad's getting a fair shake of the stick here. Hope his defense helps him a lot more tonight though! #LUFC

Just seen that no team in the top 6 after 5 games has ever been relegated from a 20 team PL, & only 1 from the top 7 & you'll never guess who that 1 team was or when it happened? ๐Ÿค”

Okay, Leeds supporters, if Coventry win later away to Forest then Fulham beat scum tomorrow, spurs go bottom but that means Lampard gets a win though, so which do you choose?! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

The 4 teams Leeds have played so far are all currently top 12 in league, & minus their results v us, they'd have 24 points from 13 games so nearly 2 points a game, plus they'd all be unbeaten apart from Brighton losing 4-3 at Chelsea, which makes our impressive start that much more impressive, imo.

Isn't it strange how when Man Utd or Arsenal or other 'Big 6' teams get a bad refereeing decision against them it becomes a HUGE story for days but Leeds have had numerous apologies for bad decisions in the PL with barely a peep from the media. Wonder what the difference is? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Weird that Carrick is upset about the VAR offside decision for the goal but conveniently ignores how fortunate they were with the red card decision! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™„

Just seen a girl in a old school pub here in Barrow-in-Furness wearing a baseball cap that said something like 'the best testing supervisor at the blowjob factory'! I've always been attracted to a woman who plays hard to get! ๐Ÿ˜‚

BBC Sport asking 'have Man City found a gem?' re their recent ยฃ86m signing! A gem is like when Leeds signed Rapha for only ยฃ16m, not when you pay a mega fee for a player, even if he is only 18! The BBC really is becoming a bit of a joke a website/organisation - they've gone downhill a lot of late.

My latest (currently stoned!) hot take is that tomato sauce doesnt taste of tomatoes at all. It's just the fact that it's the same colour & that it's called tomato sauce, that's it. In fact, if it was just called Red Sauce no-one would ever say 'wow, that red sauce really tastes like tomatoes'.

Between our piss-poor finishing in front of goal & Farke's piss-poor sub choices, we threw away 3 points there. If you'd have offered me a draw before kick-off, i'd have taken it but the way the game went i am really disappointed right now.
