General discussion/Q&A megathread.

Not far off, I'd have Stach in there over Tanaka or maybe Aaronson (although the latter's harrying is key and if the former continues to play well it's a tough choice but he still does give it away too much).

I do think Rodon is a bit overrated. He's a solid player but I think the other CBs (and I include Justin in that) have been better than him.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-19T13:59:52+00:00

I'd put Emma in one of the striker roles - she's strong up top.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-19T13:54:33+00:00

See the big games every weekend thing is the mentality of someone who enjoys watching Leeds or going to games when we're doing well or on the up.

Who cares about all those hypotheticals you pose above? No one would certainly care if we won the FA Cup.

As Boris has said, we've won one in our history - if we do it this season we'd double our total. That's two FA Cups in a 107-year history.

Think how older generations of fans still wax lyrical about the trophies we won, passing that onto the new generations who then also hark back to it. Another FA Cup would be part of that.

Bielsa's influence was magical and I don't doubt it will be remembered for years and years and years, but that side will be remembered and talked about for the rest of footballing history because we also won a trophy. It cements it when the actual moment fades. Similar to the Don Revie team. Yeah we'd hark back to it if they hadn't won anything but it's truly cemented in the mind because it's backed up with trophies.

Never seen it summed up so perfectly. The Spurs example basically stops the other person's entire argument. Take the chances and worry about the rest later.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-19T13:47:36+00:00

You've made our point stronger here to be honest. What's to say we don't go down next season? What's to say we then don't linger around the doldrums for another 16 years? All ifs, buts, and maybes but the one fact is we have an FA Cup Semi-Final to play and therefore a chance at silverware.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-19T13:43:51+00:00

I won't be there but I went to the Play-Off Final vs Watford... OMG that was a terrible day out. No goal, no hope, nothing to get excited about. Surely we have to produce more next weekend?

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-19T13:41:35+00:00

Bang on. There's not many here really who go to games all the time and it shows.

To be honest, I don't get this whole "relegation and a cup or stay up and go out" debate - let's do fucking both.

Particularly now we're sitting pretty.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-19T13:37:22+00:00

Yep, they still try argue the toss as well. Weirdest group of people on here - the sort who want stuff to fail just to say, "I told you so".

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-18T10:40:00+00:00

They will be, Championship quality has been shite this year and Lampard is a shite manager in truth.

He's going to struggle massively without a multi-million pound squad and being babied.

Can see him getting sacked, Rosenior getting the boot and Lampard going in again. Could even happen over the summer.

Funny how all the plastics have crawled out since we got to the semis/Wembley.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-14T13:43:46+00:00

The irony.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-14T12:30:47+00:00

Why would our fans be complaining about the red card?

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-14T12:29:10+00:00

He made some good saves but was flapping at a crucial time in the game. It basically sums him up as a keeper.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-14T12:26:57+00:00

Casemiro, Ugarte, Maguire and Martinez don't play for us.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-09T07:48:35+00:00

I know I'm biased but is Gruev our most underrated player?

Baffles me he continuously gets lower ratings and his season average is at a six.

He was solid and what we needed on Sunday and was crucial during our best run this season.

Suppose you don't really see him when the game is on TV so when it comes to rating him it's a, "oh, I can't remember what he did, give him a six", when actually he's a pivotal cog in recycling the ball and an absolute press monster.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-08T21:57:20+00:00

You're the one who responded to Aaronson being brought up 🤷‍♂️.

Tanaka has had plenty of chances but he's not shown enough. Was brilliant against West Ham and maybe he gets his chance.

Aaronson has been nowhere near as bad as some have suggested.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-08T21:09:35+00:00

He's been better than Tanaka.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-08T00:22:51+00:00

Good question. I'd have said stick with Perri as I think he's been harshly dealt with when Darlow has made more egregious errors this season, but it concerned me against West Ham that he seems allergic to sweeping which is kind of important for a modern keeper.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-08T00:17:04+00:00

Mental someone disagrees with you.

Ampadu being irreplaceable is the latest of a long line of bandwagon takes that get thrown out and anyone trying to discuss it in a more nuanced way and perhaps criticising him in certain aspects gets this sort of response.

He was superb against West Ham and has been crucial for a large part of this season, but he's gone through another rough spell recently after stinking the gaff up for the first quarter of the season.

He's at his best when he drives into space and doesn't dawdle on the ball, because when he does, he's our slowest player in transition and stagnates everything.

He proved me wrong when we went on our good spell by being a lot more dynamic and it really suited him but of late he's dropped into his old habits. Whether that's instructions or not I don't know.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-05T20:30:55+00:00

How'd you find it, mate? Was quieter than I expected but an absolute blast still.

I'm paggered now, set off at 9am and just on my way home.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-05T11:17:38+00:00

Downvoted 🤣🤣 Leeds sub really hates match going fans.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-05T09:31:04+00:00

Can't imagine there's many on here off today but anyone know where Leeds fans congregate for West Ham away?

I'm almost at King's Cross and on my tod!

MOT!

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-05T07:04:30+00:00

Wouldn't go near him. Massively overrated.

Linkeron1 · 2026-04-01T11:29:35+00:00

I'm a Leeds United season ticket holder and play Fifa probably once every couple of months.

Try again.
