No doubt that first half performance is better than most of us thought it would be. If only we had a centre forward that could hold and pass the ball better than Larsen? Would Sarr have performed better in that position?
Once again Timber has been superb. A completely different profile to what we are use to in the middle of the park.
Strand Larsen once again showing that he cannot take off his trampoline boots with his shocking hold up play.
Kamada’s lack of pace in that right hand side position has stumped out attack twice on the counter so may need to bring Sarr on. Personally see us countering down their left hand side (as they’re pushing on so much) as our best chance of scoring.
Do not like them having them long throw ins. PTSD from last time we played them!

Not a bad first half, contained their attacking play but still a few scary moments at the back. Up front we are toothless and Larsen’s hold up play is awful, we really miss Mateta. Still 0-0 at half time is ok and gives us something to build on.

From experience, once the Leeds fans get behind their team - we have no chance!
If we can keep the crowd quiet, perhaps, maybe, with a bit of luck - who knows ?!?!

Timber is a fantastic acquisition. Always driving forward. Pino his normal inconsistent self and Larson needs an early shower

Nice to have a battling midfielder who can win a tackle, takes the pressure off the back line
Tomyasu is organising the defense really well. We look more assured at the back

Many strikers play that way
We all know that.
Especially the midfield who are tasked with service of said plate.

I’m thinking Haaland won’t be losing any sleep over the battle for the golden boot though

Decent half compared to what many of us expected, especially after playing on Thursday.
Timber looks good. The pressing seems a bit more effective. That might be part of why we look a little more stable at the back.
Kamada looked terrible as a no10 when he first joined us. He's not so bad now, but lacks individual dynamism. His general tidiness comes in handy and helps make an extra midfielder at the but, as others have said, he kills counter attacks because he can't go at pace.
Larsen doesn't punch his weight. You'd think it'd be a choice between Nketiah to scamper about trying to get in behind, or Larsen showing for the ball and holding it up, but actually they are much of a muchness in both style and effectiveness.
