Newcastle v Leeds Match Thread

Both defences have been awful. Could easily have been half a dozen goals that half. With better finishing there would have been.

Almiron really is a liability being played in a midfield three. We should either use him properly or bench him.

Very entertaining game. If Joelinton could finish we’d have two easily, maybe 3 with one or two other good chances going begging. Leeds could / should also have more than one goal.

Are we not getting what we want? An exciting game of football and even though they keep pressing us and creating dangerous chances, so are we? If we go out of this 2-1 victors isn’t this a game we’ll remember for the excitement?

Yeah I agree. I've always said i'd rather watch a game where we go for it and lose 4-3 than one where we park the bus and still lose 1-0, or even draw. If we get a result I will have loved it.

I’m stating the obvious here but we’re going to have to outscore Leeds here, and they will get more goals if we continue to give them so much time and space on the ball around our box.

We need to ditch 5 man defence. It was working for us last year but no good is coming of it this season.

This. Fun and entertaining game to say the least.. but Leeds look fitter & stronger than us at times but very exposed at the back and even though they have goals in them & a high pressure attack there vulnerable. ASM literally our saviour (hasn't he always been).. Joelinton & Miggy were growing more into the game. Midfield & defence looks poor & very slow/clumsy at times.. Longstaff & Willock need to get more involved. You can see we need a proper fast & mobile ball-winner/destroyer in there who's good on the ball (Kante would be the dream ).. but anyways this game is literally 50/50 we look like scoring but so do Leeds and as the game wears on could leave us even more exposed. I'll ditch the five and go for it with Fraser & Gayle later on..

Some wayward shooting and Mike Dean getting in the way.

Joelinton for the love of god.

[Toondes]

Also - joelinton back to classic joelinton is a nice addition

[Donkey Toon]

I'm keep trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but i'm sorry Joelinton is absolute s****!

[beatski]

Compromising photos of Bruce perhaps? It certainly isn't from footballing ability.
