…yep, I agree, but he does terrific pinching the ball off Eze.

Not unlike McNeil’s goal for Burnley in that goal. Terrific.
If you had the chance to play it to a player central with nobody within ten yards 30 y from godly mate then that's the pass all day long.
 
It's all that experience.

To be fair to him, he also didn't make any massive mistakes and didn't cost us goals. One of his better games for us by that alone.
For the goal, the best bit about it other than the shot is the run Harrison makes to create the space for McNeil to line it up, we've all been critical of him with the ball but he's always worked his arse off without it, something I always noticed at Leeds. It might seem a basic thing but our movement in front of goal can be so static so that was great to see.

Yeah, pulled him very well so McNeil had more space. DCL does that too occasionally, but we rarely have players running at them with him in any kind of space, good to see and something we hopefully see more in the future anyway.
 
Yep that's why I like DCL. Just wish he could finish...
Can't have it all mate, he wouldn't be here if he could :lol:

Not his thread I know, but - happy to see DCL do it while staying more central. He usually drifts off to the sides for no reason which leads to having no presence in the box to cross to and ends our attacks, maybe having actual players on the wings frees him up a bit to find his own space.... as well as not having Doucoure in the "chaos" position playing 5 ft from him, I guess.
