arsenal v leeds

bielsa is absolutely wasted at leeds , he's got patrick bamford up front ffs - one of the greatest coaches of his era

Leeds do keep going for the whole 90 minutes so I'd be a bit wary of that.

I was wondering why Leeds were at 8 at start of match, then read a few early posts on here about Leeds resting players, and Arsenal putting out a strong team, so went for Arsenal at start

I knew it had 0-0 written all over it after 5 minutes

Aresnal not bothered

ya chompin fools

na there's a goal in this , forleeds

A game lasts 90mins stroody, not half an hour.. Just a shame Leeds haven't scored yet to get the goal fest going

Yep I know game lasts 90 mins, but Arsenal aint no 1.5 shot even if they win

Unless you're a trader, u don't bother about where current odds are.

if it's any consolation 86% of the money matched has been matched on arsenal

that was sad from leeds fh

If you aren't a trader then why bother with the Exchange? If you're not you must be missing a lot of opportunities.

On the period of the game gone by..

No consolation, should have watched match for a few minutes before deciding, the Leeds resting players, and Arsenal putting out a strong team swayed me. Should have went with my instincts, Leeds good footballing team, Arsenal average side.

arsenal getting absolutely outplayed on their own turf with almost a full strength team to a team from the division below, banter FC

thought it was rotherham v man city

wow forgot ozil was playing

rob holding would be an embarrassment to a pub team, how he gets a game for arsenal is a mystery

youre all talking a good game,sitting on beer crates ya kew hunts,mines double diamond,so there

I remember when Arsenal were a team to fear.

ozil 9 touches.

Ozil looks like he has radiation sickness.

bogbrush not even a pub player

"If you aren't a trader then why bother with the Exchange?" That's a silly thing to say. Gross over-rounds from scumbag bookies is reason enough alone. But opportunities open and close all the time on the exchange.

there are no good midfielders in the premier league anymore

What a poor side

Leeds beginning to look like a Championship side at the end of the first half.  Missing far too many chances.  A touch of premiership class will see Arsenal win this in the end IMO.  I'm convinced the second half will be different.  Backed Arsenal now at 2.52 which is a hell of a lot better than the opening show of 1.57.

Arteta to give his boys a halftime rocket.   Leeds to regret their wastefulness

Aresnal are just absolute dross

I must have misunderstood what you meant about "unless you're a trader" comment. I assume everybody is a trader on the Exchange.

Should know better than relying on that sack of s***e

arse -2,@20s

As it's half-time I'll quote it again. Please explain what it means in plain English.

Leeds play better 2nd half when other teams tire from the press but i will take arsenal to win 1-0 we just want to go up this season.

I mean if you take a position on a 90min result, why panic after 20min when the odds move away from that position in a negative manner?

so much for all the mug media pundits, banging on about how Arteta has "changed their mentality", absolut bollocs! their attitude still stinks, imo.

For all of Leeds good play, Leeds are still the dogs. If you don't agree with that, there lies the op.

Leeds played really well that 1st half however give the Arsenal forwards the opportunities that Leeds created and they would have scored at least 2 goals there thats the difference as Leeds do not score enough goals and i can't help thinking a sucker punch will be coming.

What a shambles Arsenal are

I wouldn't be panicking but more preparing myself for the inevitable loser that's coming

Aresnal don't look bothered, they may still win but their body language is awful and Ozil is doing his turtle impression

How much longer can Ozil keep cheating a living

Hope Leeds finally get promoted this season. Been out of the Prem for far too long. Great memories of Liverpool's clashes against them back in the 60's & 70's.

Leeds are great on the eye but lack cutting edge, Bamford?

I mean you'd think Bielsa would demand 15m for a proper striker

des give him a chance,hes only been there 2 mins,turn any club around takes a while

Bamford League One quality

Just imagine what Bielsa and his coaches could do with proper footballers though ffs

He's a genius

Good test for Arteta here.  If he's as good as the hype then surely Arsenal play much better in the second half and win this.

Ozil got praise from pundits for turning up for a game or two, that will be enough to sustain him for a few months, until somebody has the sense to get rid of him.

Bamford is league 2 standard in my opinion

He's really polishing a turd with that one

Ok. I don't want to get in to an argument but I will explain what I meant:

No more for over this.

waste of free kick imho.

well wide

needed to pass, there.

And there it is..

cr&ppy goal but levels

at last, a bit fflukey, tho.

1-0 to the Arsenal

Congratulations Arteta

On the stats Leeds have had 16 shots with 6 on target, 60% possession, 3 corners

Surely their board/owner must back Bielsa with a proper striker ffs

ozil

Where have Leeds gone?

Arsenal pressing them into their shell.

another foul by Xhaka, unpunished.

Xhaka ben doing that all game, then the Leeds player gets booked.

des youre a moaning fkn minnie

Does Bamford know the offside rule?

if guendouzi didnt have that hair would anyone think he was any good?

need zee arse tw*** to score tho

Messi was just as good when he cut his mop.

rob holding , ffs put him out of his misery and drag his sorry arse of the pitch,horrendus,not one redeeming feature

take him into the woods and shoot him

I,d also fine the keeper a weeks wages for keep giving him the ball

I wouldn't give holding the ball with a gun held to my head

not a red ?

maroon

Ozil waving like he's royalty

Ref a joke, same var, no different from Palace send off yesterday.

This is always the problem for refs, regardless of whether they have VAR help, decisions will always be inconsistent.

holding ,perfect record 12 out of 12 straight to leeds players

holding worst performance on a football pitch this decade

It makes you wonder how the hell some of these "professionals" make it past amateur.

Leeds just don't have the finishing touch

Nice build up play but lacking a killer instinct

As expected, their energy lowered, and their press died as Arsenal's increased, but it's still a dam shame they couldn't have notched at least 1 of the many chances they created it was an over2.5 game if ever I've seen one..

derby,boro,everton,england,arsenal to be another steve round failure,

Xhaka is a sly, manipulative character.   How he escaped a red  card baffles me.  Was he even booked?

No finishing touch for a large part of the season,Bamford went 9 games without a goal earlier this season and Eddie Nketiah never got a start until recently when Bamford got a dead leg and no wonder he went back to Arsenal from his loan

2 wallop teams

Leeds need a striker badly

Otherwise they are letting a great opportunity slip

That team/bielsa deserves prem football

When you look at some of the dross parading around in the prem and that Leeds team is playing like that

Sold our best striker Roofe to Anderlecht in pre season as for most part of last season Bamford was on the bench with Roofe up front,Bamford misses far too many chances and if we had a proven scorer say like a Gayle or Charlie Austin we would def get promotion so i am not sure whether we can do it this season,fantastic football under Bielsa just like the 1st half tonight but if there is no end product it falls down and fails.

roache

You should have gone up last season

Speechless when Derby came back and won that PO semi. And then they did their usual bottling in the final, didn't even play a striker from the start

Arsenal celebrating like they have just won the cup lol. They were passed off the park in the first half. We will be fine for promotion this year. Championship is weaker than last year and with a couple of additions in January we will be back where we belong.

Hopefully you wont have to rely on the lottery of the playoffs this year Try My Best

Best team in the Championship

to be honest i still dont see this great change the media are talking about

same **** players different manager

when emery won games like this it wasnt convincing?

It's been a good year for the roses

The midlands are starting to rise.  It would be great for the domestic game if the north east giants(newcastle, leeds etc) could join them.  The london/north west stranglehold is tedious
