Bill 1,788 Posted February 2, 2019 I like the opening paragraph " When Patrick Bamford scored in stoppage time to reduce the margin of Leeds’s defeat, some home fans began chanting “we are top of the league”, thinking that strike was enough to keep Leeds at the summit on goal difference. But they had got their sums wrong. This victory enabled Norwich to leapfrog their hosts, after a performance in which they were clearly superior. Norwich really did a number on Marcelo Bielsa’s men.

Fuzzar 1,861 Posted February 3, 2019 I agree with the Tettey comments. I know it's difficult to come on late and get up to speed but I felt he was chasing shadows for the ten minutes he was on. I can see him playing a role against the cloggers from down the road, but I don't see why he should automatically take Trybull's place when fully fit.

Depends how bad the gash on Trybull's ankle is I guess - if fit, Trybull should start on merit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 589 Posted February 3, 2019 I'd also like to see Tom Trybull start against that shower. He patiently waited for his time again after losing his place and has been exemplary since being a main feature. Hopefully that injury will not keep him out. Besides, be nice to sing the TT song when he is calmly distributing the ball around the park next week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,167 Posted February 3, 2019 You play well, you keep your place, simple. If you adhere to that philosophy then the players know exactly where they stand, and the incentive to perform is maximised. Super Tommy Trybull starts next Sunday, he’s earned the shirt - plus the additional rest for Tettey will be no bad thing with plenty of games left to play. We are in a very healthy place, I expected Daniel Farke to be a success given plenty of time and patience, but a year ago, I never could have dreamed of the excitement he would be bringing to Norfolk today. The upwards trajectory, and speed of it, has been quite remarkable, himself and Webber have given our wonderful club a complete blood transfusion - give that man a new contract today!

Leeds on youtube is a belter. I often check his reports on the binners games, not simply his being a view from the other side of the hill but that he is objective as car be. And I would not pay much heed if he was favourable. Honest journalism is always better. Though you have to feel for him as he is usually sat in his car directly after their game and you can see by the look on his face it is a case of "oh fck, what another shower of **** that was". For those interested, well worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbfGq2FP59I Edited February 3, 2019 by Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
