We intercept a few but they just don’t really tackle anyone ever. Leeds 67% tackles won. NCFC 64% 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,745 Posted January 24 10 minutes ago, Jim Smith said: Very little between these sides (except maybe a bit of individual flair with their attacking mids). We should believe in ourselves more. We are just as good as the sides at the top when we decide to play. On paper Leeds have a lot more ability on the pitch than us with a lot more money invested into it too. That we are matching them is fantastic and doable in one off games but we are not as good as Leeds squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only problem with those stats, is I don't think they take into account tackles that should be won or 50/50's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giving nothing our way I've been thinking that he's been giving a lot of cheap fouls to both teams, in all honesty. Although he did let a couple slide in that last attack.

JonnyJonnyRowe 472 Posted January 24 Why make a sub just as you've absolutely dominated for 5 minutes, we lose momentum and the opposition have a minute to catch their breath and regroup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
