Leeds Utd (A) 23/10/2021 3pm Build Up & Match Thread

not sure what Raul is doing right now.

hwang barging forward and he’s standing with his knees locked. Getting bullied all around the park. Poor passing. Bad game so far

 

[Jinky]

Hwang, despite scoring, has been poor again. He was abysmal last week. He needs to step his overall game up big time. Doesn’t seem to have any sort of control and isn’t on the same wavelength as his teammates.

 

[Alan]

Ait-Nouri getting mugged off quite a bit on our left. I think Leeds are targeting him.

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if he’s yanked at halftime. He’s been very poor in all three phases, IMO.

 

[t3ch]

That last possession lost was Raul’s fault, not hwangs.

 

[NicholasG1973]

Hwang and Traore need to do more off the ball.

Traore does nothing when he hasn’t got it.

Neither work anywhere near hard enough - it’s going to be difgi

 

[northfield wolf]

Are we trying to sit on this lead ?

 

[Banjo]

Like that breakaway where Hwang has just been intercepted. What is Raúl attempting to do by checking his run in that position? If this is me not understanding football then someone please educate me.

Lack of understanding plus a lack of sharpness from Raul I think. Hwang and Raul shouldn't be that close to each other so Raul was trying to create some space by dropping into space.. but he did it too late (ie at the same time Hwang passed the ball!)

 

[NicholasG1973]

*difficult today.

 

[Alan]

You can level some fair criticism at Hwang but his work rate should absolutely not be in question.

 

[Banjo]

Are we trying to sit on this lead ?

I don't think so.. we just can't get hold of the ball due to the tempo of the game.

I think recognition on my part of when the right time is to make a run, where to make it from and to, etc., is a big piece of football’s tactical puzzle that I haven’t quite wrapped my head around completely.

 

[Alan]

Something worth noting, I think, is how much Semedo is communicating with Kilman, which I’ve not noticed him do with any CB partner he’s had before. Good thing to see.

 

[Freddeno]

Adama with a bad pass there, like RAN but on the other side

 

[Bertiewolf]

Podence for Traore anyone?

 

[Nando]

Adama and Hwang have both been fucking shocking here. I'd hook the pair of them for Podence and Trincao.

 

[Freddeno]

omg RAN dont make that tackle

 

[Alan]

Okay, Rayan. I think that’s enough out of you.

 

[t3ch]

Playing with fire there RAN

really disappointing appearance from him so far

 

[The Bear]

Raul's doing alright when he gets the ball. Too many loose passes though means we're not doing much going forwards. And nothing's coming off for any of the wide players as of yet.

We're defending and pressing well though against their high paced attacking.

 

[Jinky]

Podence for Traore anyone?

Nah. Would rather Podence for Hwang.

Poor performance, but nice result as it stands. We surely can’t play as bad in the second half, which is hopefully a good sign.
