Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Always the case mate. They’ll probably end up scoring 3 or 4

Honestly Brentford putting up a decent effort but that means they'll leave gaps open which I'm sure that lot will abuse.

Jota pmsl.

Unreal save

Unreal save

Great save but Jota should be scoring 9/10 times.

Think you're spending too much time fantasising about your favourite teams with their 40 deep squads like Chelsea.

Nah, you can drop off a little, playing relegation level when you've still got 7 of your first XI isn't good enough. You're just bad at that point

 

[N.S.N.O.]

I like how Brentford are trying to play....but against Liverpool this just seems far too open, and will only end one way

 

[Saint Domingo]

Nailed on they score just before or just after half time.

 

[ste d' indica]

Dortmund down to 10. Bit harsh I felt.

 

[YoboCopter]

Has trent ever scored a direct freekick? He always seems terrible at them

We can revisit this when you use injuries as a reason for a team's form dropping off. Oh wait, you already did.

I've seen a lot of "we're one or two injuries from a crisis" shouts but really we're always going to be one or two injuries from a drop off. The only way you can avoid that is to have a squad of 20 or so players of the same quality. Realistically the only way we're going to achieve that is if the quality of our 20 players is mediocre. Otherwise we'll have a drop off to our backups. The sky is not falling.

CM and RB our biggest priorities now I think second CF is a big problem too.

We already are dropping off and we're not a relegation team still. Leeds are the 14th best team full strength.

We're dropping off from injuries? I thought that wasn't an excuse?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Would be nice if just for once something didn’t go absolutely perfectly for them. Maybe a deflection could go Brentford’s way, or a set piece, anything that doesn’t involve rhe same game after game ritual of every single bounce of the ball falling perfectly for them just when they need it to.

Mate Leeds worst performance was the first game of the year. They've been bad the whole way. And we're dropping off because Doucoure isn't attacking space anymore and Andros screamer has us addicted to taking horrible shots when better passes are on. It's actually really easy to explain without defaulting to injuries mean you have to play bad.
