PBP: Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, All Games

Leeds have to win games like this. No excuse to give back 2 points after being up 2 goals.

 

This is what in some parts is called a "blown tire."

 

I think he gets fired when they get their annual 9-0 loss sometime in November

 

Getting a point away in these conditions is a good outcome for Leeds - Macro level

 

Marsch out on twitter


never disappoints!

 

A draw on the road isn't a bad result but definitely feels like a loss with the blown lead.

 

I’ll just see myself out

 

Shouldn’t have drawn there.

Hottest day in premier league history and they should have subbed earlier.

Klich has been good both games and I’d bring him on today right after the second Leeds goal.

 

On paper if you told me that they’d lose Bamford and James to injury and drew 2-2 you’d be like cool 4 points from 2 games.

 

Yup.

100% of Leeds fans would've signed up for 4 points after 2 matches. Hopefully, it's a lesson that will pay off later in the season.

 

Jessie needs to learn how to manage these games better. You gotta be cynical and tactical to succeed.

 

I have to think the second goal lulled him into staying with what was on the field.

SA makes changes in players and formation and change the game. Disappointing.

 

I think they looked so dominant the first 15 minutes of the second half that he got overconfident. Any EPL team can change things with fresh legs of the bench. He needed to be prepared for that.

 

Better get used to it. It will not be long before we hear how Aaronson isn't very good. Tough lesson for Aaronson.

 

that's about as amateurish as it gets.

 

After being up 2-0 late?

 

Yeh this result is on Marsch. It was quite clear Leeds needed a change much earlier in that second half. Makes no sense not using subs earlier when you have some decent players on that bench, you get 5 subs, and the conditions were so difficult. Don't know what he was thinking.

 

I don't feel the least bit sorry for Marsch since he's the guy in charge. He has nobody to blame but himself. A lot of the players are picking up a good pay check but for Aaronson it is a question of where he plays at the most crucial development period of his career.

 

1. Aaronson is so, so deft in ultra tight spaces. His teammates need to learn his game he prepare for that, make the right runs.
2. His position in the quarter second before he receives a pass should be studied by every young player. He’s always making this little moves and shifts to set up his next move, and that’s why he’s tough to mark.
3. Whenever I watched the match for spectacle and enjoyment, I didn’t notice Adams. Whenever I tuned in my brain and watched closely and analytically, he stood out as a good player.
4. Oh Jesse. You coached in MLS heat so you should know better how to manage a lead on a 90 degree day.

 

Still no dedicated Leeds PBP thread? Can't find it for some reason.

 

Nice press & counter by Aaronson.

Leeds already given up 2 pretty decent half chances on the counter in only 5 mins though... concerning, for Leeds supporters.

 

Almost threads the needle to create a good chance after surging forward through the middle.

Just turned on Koulibaly and drew a foul/yellow. He's looking sharp floating all over attacking mid.

 

His movement and vision is excellent.

 

I also thought it was interesting to see the level of indignation the ref had at Aaronson yelling for the yellow; I thought for half a second he was gonna get one for dissent

 

Geezus that'd have been heartbreaking.
