@EthanFromOnline Was such a mature cameo from Gnonto. Had that one heart in mouth moment where he tried (and failed) to beat Dalot. But on the whole it was so good to see.

A superb showing by Gnonto. The game needed Leeds to defend with the ball and no one enabled that better than Willy. #LUFC

@TalkCPFC Out of curiosity where would you draw the line with a hair pull?

What are we doing here man, why is that a red card? How is that in any way dangerous? A ridiculous rule tbh

This has been weighing heavily on me, and I can’t stay quiet about it any longer. I am 71 years old. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend five World Cups, starting in 1986. Those tournaments weren’t just events to me, they were life chapters. They were about connection, about culture, about standing shoulder to shoulder with people from every corner of the world, united by the game we love. But what I’m seeing now breaks my heart. The current dynamic pricing strategy for the upcoming World Cup feels completely detached from the very soul of football. Yes, this tournament is being played mostly in the United States, and yes, it’s a premium market. But football was never meant to be a luxury product reserved for the highest bidder. It belongs to the people. Always has. I looked back fondly at USA 94 and everything we did then to fill stadiums and bring the game to life for Americans who were just dipping their toes into the water of the beautiful game. Right now, it feels like the average, passionate supporter, the ones who save for years, who travel across continents, who bring the color, the noise, the spirit, are being pushed out. Replaced by a model that prioritizes revenue over reality. That’s a dangerous road because once you lose the authentic fan, you lose the essence of what makes the World Cup special. I say this not just as a fan, but as someone who has spent a lifetime in and around the game. During my time at EA SPORTS, we stood shoulder to shoulder with FIFA when they needed it most. Our game kept millions of fans connected to football and to the World Cup when trust in the organization was at its lowest. We helped carry the flame. Which is why this moment feels even more disappointing. This may well be one of the last World Cups I have the chance to attend and I find myself wondering if the game I’ve loved all my life is slowly drifting away from people like me, and far more importantly, from the next generation who deserve to feel what I felt in 1986. The World Cup should unite the world. Not divide it by price. Football deserves better. And so do the fans. Come on @FIFAcom , sort this out… It’s not too late.

@SebSB Comfortably my favourite performance of any player this season. On a different planet right now.

I’d expect it, too. If Bayern can get the long diagonal to the right side working, putting Olise one-on-one, then it really could be a good night.

I hope Michael Olise has an excellent game tonight. His contribution over the last few years at Bayern deserves a really big night on this kind of stage. He’s phenomenal.

@EthanFromOnline Is this in reference to anyone/ any team in particular?

I think when a team is struggling, players who's game is built on their running get given credit for their attitude and character that they don't really warrant - they're just in a game state that suits their best attributes. 1/3

@EthanFromOnline Feel like he has been in the past though (granted against championship opposition) . Not saying it’s purely down to match fitness but it would help w his trigger/decision making.

Maybe this is a hot take but DJ without the ball can be really crap. Makes so many bad decisions and doesn't read what's happening quick enough. He should terrify the opposition on loose passes but virtually never does. #LUFC

@aggzzx Talk ball I miss I need more hot takes please and thanks

@ellis_platten This is not silence Ellis…

Staying silent till full time.

@ConorMcGilligxn 85th triple change is just so frustrating, it was the right one to make… 15 mins earlier at least. Don’t think it helps that Tanaka had his worst game potentially in a Leeds shirt, DF definitely expected more from him there.

Not a bad result, but disappointing, could have won that with that bench. Sat for 35 in the second half and allowed them to get onto us I felt. Anyhow, could be a lot worse. #LUFC

@Brownie89 Feels good, a very satisfying win that

Professional and dominant from start to finish! Always tricky away at lower league opposition but looked a level above all afternoon! In the hat…

@ConorMcGilligxn Slightly confused about ampadu but generally happy with it, would be nice for chambers to get some minutes purely coz I don’t want any of those subs getting injured

Thoughts on that team lads and lasses? #LUFC

@LouisSergant Had an hour of being completely rattled last night hahaha

@Tom_Lees44 Yes

Is it crazy to think a dive followed by a sarcastic clap should be a sending off?

@ConorMcGilligxn Aaronson decision making is better. Ampadu elite leader and will ensure crumbles like that won’t happen too often. Gruev earning his keep. At least scoring hasn’t been a HUGE issue 💀

Give me some positives, help me out, please. Leeds man.

@EthanFromOnline Yeah did find it funny after Jacob Murphy got a free cross in for the 8th time

To be clear, that game was obv lost on more than the keeper. Pretty bad game management from Farke, and your left side can't be beaten so easily on every play. #LUFC

@LewisDeighton17 Genuinely so happy for you because travelling after that would’ve been grim

Two aways I’ve missed this season (City and Newcastle), two last minute losses. Saved me extra pain.

That chance where Okafor got to the by line and put it across the face of goal… nightmarish evening #lufc

Oh yeah and I’m fuming at how deep our midfield consistently drop, leaving the edge of the box free. E.g Bruno G able to find that OUTSIDE OF THE FOOT cross #lufc

Those premier league fine margins don’t present themselves more obviously than Joelintons header going in (after he arguably should’ve been sent off) and James Justin’s header hitting the bar. #lufc

@ko_kiano @KyleThomps1995 @bclufc Joke explained.

@KyleThomps1995 @bclufc I was joking that I won’t like it if Piroe starts. I will in fact still be watching and hoping that, if he does start, Piroe plays well and enjoys his time playing for Leeds United
