Passing and creativity sadly lacking. It’s OK pinging it around at the back but there’s been no threat from Leeds in the first half...

Not using Nketiah properly at all. Hes not a hold up centre forward. Need to use his pace. Midfield are seriously lacking creativity. Robert's injured yet again! Alioski is all over place at the back. Douglas had to start for me here with their wingers.

Much better performance in the second half. Miles more balance with Bamford and Douglas on. Thought Costa Dallas and Klitch were v good also. Great point.

Bielsa's translator will be getting the sack hahaha:D

best display in a while. bamford and douglas changed the game. klich best game in weeks. cooper and kiko worry me still.....

Think this game showed why further investment is needed TBH.

Second half much better than the first, started to dictate play rather than just have possession. Need more cutting edge to win the games agains the mid table and play off teams if we are to stay above them.

Yeah someone like Bartley would be great along side White. If we lose Bamford to long term injury we're buggered unless we sort an adequate striker. Nketiah looks as if hes deffo off.

Bielsa confirmed Eddie is off back. So, we should see another striker and winger brought in. A back up centre half should also be on the list, but I doubt we'll see more than 2.
Che Adams would be great,but him and Southampton won't want him starting on the bench every week.

Very interesting to see what Leeds do. They will have hopefully been eyeing up a replacement for a few weeks. Phil Hay was saying couple weeks back Nketiah was off. Could be crucial this.. lack of options from the bench in midfield today was startling

I think given Leeds position, we should be looking for someone to start, and who will improve us. We are in the position where we should be able to sell the dream of premiership football next season and a top championship player or fringe premiership player could add something to that.

We do need depth, and maybe we get that from loans. When does the window for loans close?

Agreed. Bielsa interestingly said it will be difficult to bring someone in who fits the bill. But like you say they have a chance to get promotion with Leeds and that should be an easy sell surely.
