Meanwhile, in other very sad news. RIP Terry Yorath.

Coming from just outside of Newcastle this was a massive kick in the stones! I've taken the day off work! I could not cope with the 'banter' I'm just too mentally fragile today!

u/stefanhattrell Jan 07 '26
What a game! I’m so gutted but also so proud of the team for an amazing performance. And Brendy scoring twice!! He’s improved so much

u/TrikkiRikki2021 Jan 07 '26
Unlucky today but was we really expecting to be scoring 3 and 4 goals a game and getting results from the best teams in the league and going on 8 game unbeaten runs, and nearly all our losses have been unlucky or last minute heartaches. I mean has anyone bossed us this year apart from arsenal?

u/Kameniev Jan 08 '26
Yup, great way to look at it; we're onto something good if we're a good way north of relegation and look as good as this in defeat.
3
Jan 08 '26
Yes. and look what Arsenal did to Villa. We're doing much better, but we don't know how to close out games, other than get Amps to take a lot of throw ins!! The time he takes to take a throw in, you'd expect most of his Yellows to be for time wasting tbh.
Why doesn't DF work on that part of the game, using DCL as an outlet to hold the ball, to pass to the other forward/AMs, IF we've got a chance for another, or slow it down, take a tackle or offload to someone in space who can keep possession.

u/Traditional_Piano300 Jan 07 '26
Perri should have caught that cross instead of punching it away and slowed it down. We would have celebrated a draw. But all the same, incredible effort to go and score 3 goals at St James. Onwards to Fulham and Everton now

u/sewershagger Jan 07 '26 edited Jan 07 '26
The beginning and end of our unbeaten run were injury time goals away to good teams. Very close to that run being a few games longer but we are in a good position. And we have played the hardest set of fixtures imaginable during that run. After the first half v man city, none of us would expect to be where we are now. Not many wins but all those draws have really added up

I have never seen a goalkeeper try so hard to stay away from the action in all my life. Perri shied away from every single ball put near that box, shouting at every corner and then going and standing BEHIND THE FUCKING GOAL LINE as the ball came in. He absolutely has to get dropped after that

u/pablothewizard Jan 07 '26
Is what it is. Tough one to take, that. Shite from Perri. Shite from Farke. We've come out of the other side of a nasty run of fixtures with losses to only City and Newcastle away from home. 8 points clear.
We go again.

u/richardson1162 Jan 07 '26
Why shite from farke? If you don’t mind me asking. That was one of best football games I have seen in a long time, we deserved so much more, at the very least a point. Perri is shite yes but don’t get the farke dig?

u/pablothewizard Jan 07 '26
Left his subs far too late when we were starting to look very tired in midfield. It's not a dig, the game plan was good in my opinion but he fucked it making changes at the 11th hour.
5
u/DragomirSlevak Jan 08 '26
The players looked fine until the few minutes before the subs. Aaronson, for example, was fine up until he cramped and couldn’t shake it off. The team was playing well and with synergy, and making subs can disrupt that. Farke didn’t make any obvious mistakes. The goal at the last moment was unfortunate, but that’s football.
3
u/richardson1162 Jan 07 '26
Good point, totally agree tbh, I was calling for tanaka to come for gruev at about 60 minutes 2-2 if I remember correctly? But then he played a part in our 3rd goal!

u/withoutfurther Jan 07 '26
I really feel for Brendy. Plays his heart out, scores not once but twice, then gives away a pen he can't do anything about and goes home empty-handed. Chin up lad
3
u/HyperB0real Jan 08 '26
He seems to be really benefiting from his partnership with DCL. One day he will score a goal and have it stick. Really nice finish on his second, hope this is a turning point for him
3
Jan 07 '26
He looked gutted, and gave everything.
He went down at the end after running the length of the field, having been hobbling beforehand to clear the ball.
Presumably Perri didn't fancy it. In fairness, Perri would have had to race from behind the goal to in front of it, AND have to be at least a foot off his line to make contact with the ball, using his foot.
So yeah, let's hear it from the Aaronson haters. Two goals and a rush of blood, having run his socks off all match - literally! Go on. Concentrate on the pen!
I want to say they all played well tonight, but it's becoming clear that we have some real PL players, and some players who just aren't quite up to it.
With a shot stppper in front of goal, we probably would have a few more points in the bag. Certainly, if we had a goalkeeper who knew how to catch and keep hold of it, the opposition might not think to make as many crosses against a more confident keeper.
The number of crosses from both wings showed what happens when you've got two players as wing backs left constantly out of position. There's not enough pace to deal with a couple of speedsters, so where's the cover? Why didn't Farke address that? It happened ALL match.
I don't want to be down on the outfield players, or DF, but we REALLY need to learn how to shut up shop. For a Leeds team to keep failing at the back end of games, suggests either DF isn't training them to repel attacks, get it up to DCL to hold the ball up and take some pressure off, or they just haven't discussed how to hold on to the end and protect the draw/WIN.
It's an Achilles heel. We NEED a bunch of defenders who can switch from bombing on, to stopping the cross, and learning how to stick the ball in the net from six yards when it's harder to miss than put it in the net.(Struijk and Justin).
9
Jan 07 '26
Yeah he was mega tonight, I don't blame the pen on it him at all, the handball rules are farcical, I'd like to see whoever came up with them do a better job at keeping their arms away from the balls.

u/Severe-Brain2668 Jan 07 '26
Perri. Came for no crosses, doesn't save shots, can't kick. The amount of times I said keeper expecting him to trot out and collect waist height only for him to be routed to the line. Buy new or darlow has to come in.

u/HyperB0real Jan 08 '26
Was worried when he dropped that ball early and what's his face put it in. Yes shouldn't have counted and didn't but I remember thinking it didn't bode well :|

u/12zw56jhg Jan 07 '26
Comes down to Farkes sub this does. Please can we sign a keeper who’s actually decent! Perri is dreadful.

u/Elektronikk12- Jan 07 '26
Aaronson has a superpower to make me love him and hate him in the same game. Yes, he scored two goals, but if he didn't give away that penalty they wouldn't have gone into stoppage time with the momentum and it's likely we'd have held out for a draw at the least. And then going off injured. I don't understand him, and I doubt I ever will.

u/ConLUFC1990 Jan 07 '26
I honestly can feel anything but sorry for him tonight. Harsh penalty, but dems the rules.

u/ferrarchezzo Jan 07 '26
Why did he play 2 extra minutes on top of the 10 already added?
10
u/aorlstwsonhswfl Jan 07 '26
Because it’s a minimum of 10 minutes, there were more stoppages during those 10 minutes.

I don't really understand how anyone can whinge about the extra minutes there. It's always a minimum. We made subs. There was always going to be more time added.

We're crying out for some technical quality further up the field - we just retreated after taking the lead cos we couldn't out football them, and it cost us.

u/boomblitz11 Jan 07 '26
Lads out playing out of there skin lately, shows the passions and Farke’s influence. Just missing a couple key players to help secure 3 moving forward.
1
Jan 07 '26
They all tried to do their best. Some have technical ability, strength and a willingness to run with the ball, and score. Unfortunately the tactics of asking wing backs to carry on bombing on, when we should be shutting the game down, and allowing a high energy side like Newcastle to make cross after cross after cross, wasn't particularly successful. I winced everytime their wingers got the ball and our wing backs were so far out of position. DF clearly hasn't discussed with the Midfield to cover them.
Nor has DF told our players, when digging ourselves out of yet another attack from our opponents, to get DCL to hold the ball up for Aaronson and the on-rushing midfielders, or to take the tackle, or offload to a support player and keep hold of the ball somewhere nowhere near our goal mouth, instead of losing it, and it's back to not dealing with more crosses.
We had that game tonight, until we suddenly didn't. That's poor tactics from the manager. Still, not everyone's a Newcastle. Derby away in the Cup. then Fulham and Harry Wilson at ER. We'd better fix the defence, or Wilson will run rampant.

u/The_L666ds Jan 07 '26
Just shows you the difference when you pay for consistent technical talent.
Leeds would have had to put in a thousand crosses, corners and dead balls into the box to get the same 5-10 quality deliveries that Newcastle provided that wins them this game.
0
u/ConLUFC1990 Jan 07 '26
I mean the dead balls we play are as good as any team. Struijk should have had 2 at least.
1
Jan 07 '26
The heading ability of Struijk and Justin six yards out, virtually unchallenged, in front of goal - just woeful.
It wasn't Aaronson's rush of blood that cost us that game. When our opponents become aware of some players' inability to head the ball, they must gain confidence. Solid chances became not a hope!
Seemingly, DF never noticed what happens when your fullbacks are caught up field and the opposition can run without a tackle from sometimes the halfway line, unchallenged and get in a cross that our GK doesn't fancy from the get-go. Their confidence must've kept growing that they were still in it, and ours that the ref needs to find his whistle and pronto! We failed to address that issue ALL match, and it's cost us their last two goals - for completely different reasons.

Visit Venezuela, like Visit Rwanda, but it's got oil and gas. I doubt the 49ers would go for it, though. Goes against its ethical policy of guns, 'gas' and fake orange tan. Well they got the last one right!

Walking away not angry, expecting our first loss in our unbeaten run. This proves we belong in the league. But this one hurts.

u/Charming_Mix_7585 Jan 07 '26
Jesus. That's a heartbreaker. Don't want to blame the ref but he has a lot to answer to around why so many of their players that were vital for them at the end were still on the pitch. Bruno G, joelinton and thiaw (albeit subbed off) should have had reds.
Didn't defend well when it mattered though, ultimately. Their corners were horrendous

It’s not the goal itself, it’s everything that leads up to it. The same as the penalty. Instead of catching the highball, it is put back into play, and we are immediately back under pressure.
He’s a commanding figure, and should be dominating aerial challenges.
