Episode notes
Matchday At Leeds: A Game Of Two Halves
- Sanny attended Leeds v Everton at the new stadium and noted Everton fans were subdued until Tierno Barry's late goal sparked a roar.
- He described the match as a clear game of two halves with Leeds dominant early and Everton improved after substitutions.
Strikers Now Valued For Workrate Over Finishing
- Ali argues modern strikers are recruited more for physical attributes and movement than pure finishing.
- He links higher physical output and defensive/attacking work-rate to streaky finishing and reduced finishing sharpness.
Farke's Tactical Reset At Leeds
- George defends Daniel Farke's adaptability and praises Leeds' switch to three at the back and wing-backs.
- He says Farke has rebuilt Leeds into a team happier out of possession and deserving credit after earlier criticism.
