This may sound controversial but I think if Jack played tonight we might not have got the win. The way we set up tonight was to contain them and stop their slick pass and move game. With Jack there our mindset would have been different, more attack minded leaving space and holes for them to exploit. Jack obviously plays once fit but I like the energy and effort of that midfield. With the return of Jack Berti would have to drop down I think.
Bielsa is ace. Leeds are dirty. He can do better.
Fuck off Leeds

They stopped Leeds.Swop Bert for Jack and we would have won more comfortably.

I can't think of many managers that could have taken that Leeds team up from mid table (with the players/resources that he's had) to where they are now (10th in the League). Possibly Klopp? The job he's done is pretty amazing. Equally I think the job DS is doing is pretty amazing too.

Wins the ball, drifts between the attackers and plays the pass like it's no big deal. Was like watching McGrath in his prime. And he did it all in front of Southgate. There is no way he wasn't impressed.I think that was our first win at Elland Road since Southgate scored the winner there way back when.It was. The commentator referenced that game in his commentary.Christmas 2000 - Southgate and then Boateng scored the second before Leeds scored. I think Southgate scored both the previous season. I was a bit surprised when they said that they haven’t done the double over us since 1976.

Great win, but still do not see the point of Traore. He is a liability. We desperately need some quality wingers in the next window, I think.
