For the first time, I feel we need to give Gray a proper run in CM for Bentancur. I have not been on his corner as CM player. But
it seems Gray has gone up or gear or 2 in last 2 games. His off the ball movment into space is good and then he is finding the forward players from those spaces.

I feel he needs a run in the team with us struggling in middle of the park

A Leeds homecoming perfect place to start. On a pitch he is used to bossing.
 
Back foot dont work from start. Only at right time. Said before we downed tools under mourinho when we parked bus away to palace then played when they equalised. Frank is paying too much respect to opponents. Nice guy but let's see how season pans out.

Well we got away with it.

But Frank needs to really sort this shit out


Shite against Bournemouth, Wolves, Villarreal, Bodo/Glimt and half of West Ham.

We keep getting away with it but these last ditch draws are papering over some major cracks in our setup and approach.

We could have legitimately lost tonight and wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

I don’t see what else Frank can do with such an inconsistent squad. He’s shown his tactical nous and in-game management, but at some point the players need to remember they’re paid very handsomely to do the basics.

Last year we just passed the ball about with no end product a lot of the time. Let's not get all misty eyed about it.

We lost 22 games last year. People need to stop with the fool fool. Look back further to when we were a proper team under Pochettino. But also recall he took the better part of 8 months to get us controlling the ball and defensively solid. There was lots of Fazio, Mason, Chadli, Bentaleb, Adebayor to begin with.

Yeah the passive football has never worked at this club. It's a worrying trend and this 45 mins was a new low. We just don't seem to have any patterns of play around the middle and can't control the ball. Some shocking individual performances too!Everyone barking on about Frank has us more organised, solid and structured. Just look at the space they had in our box time and time again. They could have had 5/6 goals with some gilt edge chances. Just like Bmouth, Brighton and even wolves. Worrying thing is these are not even the top teams. Play like that v pag, Frankfurt, etc and we will be battered.

As much as everyone is lamenting our attacking options and performance today, defensively it was absolutely terrible.
Gave Bodo a load of chances and could have conceded 4 or 5 easily.
