isn't Piroe top of the charts at this level for goal scoring ? some really good figures Meslier stats are very poor.

only got shown it at work so didn't take azlit in. but yes, his XG is supurb.

We have to take into consideration, that his xG is over the last five years and before he came to us, he scored 44 goals over two seasons. I wonder what his current xG is for Leeds over the last two seasons.

it should be pretty good, he doesn't miss many. great finisher.

Talking of Meslier, I was listening to inside elland rd podcast yesterday with G Smyth and J Donahue and they were pretty damning of Messlier of how, even in the championship and playing in one of the best teams for the last 2 seasons, he's not one of the best keepers (stats prove he's some way off).. and Farke needs to give him competition for his place to see if it does the trick. Now, he is still fairly young, but It's quite damning really that, even at this level he's not performing well enough to be considered one of the best in the division (he was exactly same last year).

He's played nearly 200 games and not one area of his game has improved. His 1 on 1s have always been excellent, but his shot stopping and distribution have regressed, if anything. He's probably the only player In our 11 who doesn't get in most other teams in the league.

he's definitely gone backwards. I don't agree with all criticisms, as a former keeper I wouldn't!!, but I'd still replace him if possible

Yeah, totally agree.

You should do stand up Tad. Allan Clarke in his slippers at 70 odd years old would have made a better fist of those two shots Piroe had on Saturday at Preston. If felt embarrassed for him tbh.

At last someone agreeing with me that he`s been a liability for 2 years now.
I`m sure in years to come he will be a standout but at the moment he is nowhere near good enough in most facets of what`s good in a keeper.

one thing I've noticed which hasn't been mentioned, perhaps it's the keeper in me, he isn't the bravest. its always legs first rather than smothering when he races out. at some point he'll give a stupid penalty away

It’s game day, and nothing to fear if we keep eleven men on the field. It’s not being disrespectful to Oxford, but this should be a routine 3 points. I’m hoping for two things today, the first is Ramazani getting a start on the left. The second is all the players pulling through uninjured before the busy period. If you’re going today, enjoy the game and hopefully there’ll be a few goals for you.

so comfortable I'm struggling to pick a man of the match. never had to break sweat. although it was bloody freezing!!

Listened to some of the game and just seen the highlights. Solomon seemed to stake a claim for the left side attacking spot on Thursday. Might be worth giving him a run of games rather than chopping and changing, Ramazani might not be too happy but healthy competition is what we need. Looks like it’s shaping up to be like last season with a handful of clubs being a cut above the rest. Let’s hope we can find better away form to back up the incredible home record.

Thought Solomon best game for Leeds. MOM for me. James superb again. Would have given Ramazani more mins though personally but he and Gnonto looked dangerous when they came on.

3 from next 4 away I think now so Farke needs to get the away form ticking now

yes time to put a run together. miss the next 2 as I'm getting some sun. need it after yesterday. horrible

Top 3 looking like the ones to beat now.
Just hope we finish in the 2 as some potential banana skins in the play offs.
Like you guys are saying it`s time to get our away form sorted now.
Good solid performance yesterday and was hoping Piroe and or Joseph would get on the scoresheet to boost their confidence.

not sure piroe is a confidence player but obviously goals help. I was hoping joseph started and scored

Yeah Burnley picking up a few results of late but they have a tough run coming up. Fingers crossed top 2 get a bit of a gap on the rest after Xmas.

It looks like Corberan is going to be the new Valencia manager.

Pleased for him, deserves a big job. One of the toughest jobs in Europe that though... very very demanding club and fanbase with a pretty tight budget for a big club.
