Since New Year's Day 2024, no player has more Championship assists than Junior Firpo (14). #lufc

Leeds had 29 shots today, their most in a league game since having 36 against Wigan in April 2019.

Slightly happier outcome today... #lufc

@jcooper

Var det den kampen vi tapte på Elland Road??

Før kampen ble rekken på 8 kamper uten tap for Cardiff brukt som argument for at det ville bli en vanskelig kamp for oss. Så ble vel sannheten heller at det gjorde at de hadde overdreven tro på seg selv og gikk altfor optimistisk ut formasjonsmessig og ga oss store rom å boltre oss i.

Blant en del har det gått sport i å harselere Graham Smyth og hans lange setningsoppbygninger. Men dette her er en bra The Verdict!

They have, in James, a winger who is proving nigh on unplayable, consistently. A Player of the Season candidate for not only the club but the entire league. They have, in Solomon, a player proving the believe that he would be too good for this division and its defenders. They have in Firpo a player capable of putting goals on a plate. And in Tanaka they have a player worth so much more than the £2.9m paid for him that Fortuna Düsseldorf should consider themselves the victims of daylight robbery.

All of those things and the rest of the talent in Farke's squad combined did not make a 7-0 scoreline even remotely conceivable prior to kick-off. Cardiff were on a fine run, unbeaten in eight. Their starting line-up screamed pure Championship encounter. Mid-season games such as these, against sides at the wrong end of the table, can be tricky affairs and many a promotion hunter has been humbled at home - see Sheffield United v Hull City.

But the Leeds attacking line-up is capable of so much more than was shown in the 0-0 insomnia cure served up at Turf Moor a few days prior. It screams danger to opposition sides who get their pressing wrong or fail to bust a gut to get back when they lose the ball. With such pace and technical ability, Leeds should be the league's leading goalscorers and title contenders. Even the bench, packed with experience and quality, screamed promotion.

Even so, 7-0? They don't grow on trees. The last one was 53 years ago. Yet even in the 13th minute, with a 2-0 lead, it felt faintly possible. Brenden Aaronson said after the game that everything just clicked. Space opened up, Leeds found it and they were devastating.

Beren Cross har gått til The Athletic (venter forventningsfull på hva han vil skrive fra kampen), Isaac Johnson har erstattet ham hos Leeds-Live. Syns han har verdifulle bidrag om Aaronson/Firpo/Piroe her...

Junior Firpo was handed his first start of 2025, having missed seven matches over the festive period with a foot injury. In an interview in the matchday programme, the full-back put his setback down to his body 'needing a break' due to the amount of consistent game time he enjoyed in 2024.

He looks back to peak performance. Firpo put on one of his best displays, keeping Cardiff winger Cian Ashford out of the game, while registering three assists. He often came inside to receive the ball but was also seen storming on the outside too, winning several corners.

Veldig glad for at Dan James endelig begynner å få den kreden han fortjener.
Igjen - utrolig undervurdert Dan James.
Det er selvfølgelig helt fortjent at skryten kommer nå.
Men det er også i et lag tapetsert av top-end CC spillere.

Man må tilbake til sensommeren for to år siden.
Leeds hadde falt som et blylodd ned fra PL og vært gjennom en særs kaotisk sommer.
WBA hjemme helt på begyennelsen av sesongen- WBA som er og var et veldig fysisk, robust og godt CC lag som stort sett ender helt i toppen i divisjonen.
1-1 ble resultatet - James var banens klart beste spiller i et lag med Shackleton på høyreving, Gelhart som 10er, Gray på 17 som sentral midtbanespiller og Ayling og Byram på backene. I kulissene var det full spillerstreik.
Har sagt det noen ganger siste året, men den kollektive gjennomføringen ledet av Dan James var et godt tegn på at dette prosjektet kom til å vende tilbake til PL innen kort tid.
Det er lagbygging og det er prestasjonskultur.

For the record, to nye innbyttermål i går, var det nr 13 og 14 mon tro?

Av totalt 60, det er over 20% av målene våre det!

Kjøpe sesongens første Football League Paper i dag (£2 for en utgave), intervju med Joffy, dobbeltside(og fremside med Leeds, lenger har eg ikkje kommet ennå).

Nr. 11 og 12 var det. Har sjekket i Norwich-programmet. I den kampen (2-0) scoret Solomon og James, og de var vel begge i startoppstillingen.

Gnonto er veldig god på å skyte tilbake i sin løpsretning. Han gjorde det noen ganger i fjor også. Meget vanskelig for keeper

[leedslife]

Since Leeds lost 1-0 to Burnley on 14 September, our home record is...

14 games
13 wins
11 clean sheets
38 goals scored
3 goals conceded
0 minutes losing

@jcooper


Sånt som kjennetegner lag som står igjen til slutt med pokalen.

Takk, denne var interessant! Enda bedre enn hva jeg tenkte det faktiske var.
