Is that Ethan Ampadu at the back?

I feel like we’re toying with them. Kill them off

They don't seem to be in a rush

Well done Steve 😃

Given the opposition I am quite happy to let the venom do its thing

Great effort from Enzo twice to win that ball, we can clearly see all the players are very much involved, now we need to be more effective upfront.

Attack needs to be more clinical. Other than that Leeds should be far more open in the second half to finish off.

Was about to post something similar. Also feel Rosenior is likely to make some adjustments at HT to try and get us a goal or 2 more.

f**k him up Steveo

Apart from the first 15 minutes where we were really sloppy, I thought we played well in that half, we just need to be more clinical. I don't want to see what we usually see from us though and drop our levels in the 2nd half.

Decent half, some good movement. Need more goals to finish it. Santos has made the midfield tick, does the simple stuff well.

Really liking the fast early passes into tight spaces, it’s giving us opportunities which we unfortunately haven’t made more of but hopefully we become a bit more ruthless in the final third.

Andrew Santos is doing himself no harm whatsoever with his 1st half, well done sir 👍

Usual thing of trying to walk the ball into the goal, goalie has had nothing to do, also Estevao has been open loads of times yet we keep either going through the middle or passing to cucurella

Leeds have made us look like fools 2 times in a row at their place. We should not only beat them, but make a statement doing so as well.

Same I f**king hate Leeds

Yes. Santos is playing!

Exactly my thought - he adds something at the back and up front and in between!

I disagree, I think we have been good. The only reason why the keeper hasn't been tested more is because of poor finishing. We're creating chances.

Gusto worries me on a yellow card. Is very clumsy. Got sent off against Forest when on a yellow, earlier in season and got lucky with the incident in the match whilst on a yellow.

Great first half

I don't like the passing around at the back and lack of tempo in doing it, but you can clearly see that this is a different possession game than the Maresca bore fest. There is definitely an underlying menace and danger from us. Just lacking the touch in the final ball.

Estevao quiet but we should persevere with him. You can see that we have bulked him up and that has clearly tied him up a bit. He needs to keep playing and build his stamina to match his developing strength. Then his pace will come back.

I don't dislike any of it though. We just need to get more goals to justify this style of play. Santos the oil that keeps us moving again.

If Acheampong hadn't got booked too, I would have him off early in the 2nd half.

Some really silky football in that half. Would like us to pressure them a bit more though to hammer home the advantage.

Gusto is a red waiting to happen.

How much would Santos cost now? If I'd have told anyone we paid £60M for him, you'd still think we got him cheap.

Love seeing Josh play. Big test with the early card for him to manage the game and keep it ahead of him.

Palmer and JPedro look great. Enzo also. Santos so assured.

Still concerned by Caicedo's form, but we know how high his ceiling is so great if he can get back to that rhythm.

Andrey Santos is what we pretended Jorginho was. Elite ball progression with the physicality to survive in the league.

Need Palmer and Estevao to show up this half.

Remember The Leeds lot gave him a hell of a time at their place. Payback please.

I would still drag Gusto, put Acheampong out right and bring on either Fofana or possibly even Sarr if we could get a second goal
