Today is the time for another Leeds story post.

Leeds matches

Premier league table after 30 fixtures looks in the following way:

Well I am pretty sure now that Leeds should play in Champions League under my management (at first in Football Manager 2010!). This season I have the best performance in Premier League with my team if we compare with previous ones.

Here is the list of my last results:

Unfortunately the list ends with 3 poor losses… Especially I was disappointed and made angry with the 2nd knockout round of Europa League against Villarreal.

Villarreal vs Leeds United

It was something terrible frankly speaking:

They knocked my goalkeeper out with 3 powerful strikes. My attack didn't manage to provide such efficiency in response  I knew it would be a tough battle but didn't expect so poor result at home…

Sure the second match wasn't promising me many chances for gaining success in this round. And again it result in an equal game completed with negative result for Leeds United.

Villarreal gave us a lesson

Leeds players

This time I want to single out two midfielders:

Fabian Delph – he performs much better than in the last season (debut one in Leeds). Fabian scored 6 goals playing on MC position with Ball Winner role.

Javi Garcia – totally disappointed with his performance. Though I tried to use him as central defender what was a mistake. He is better in the centre of midfield. I think he will have new first squad chances from me in the next season.

 

New Leeds signing - Guilherme

What I can say… Signed for free during winter transfer window. Striker of quite high quality who can compete for the first squad position with any of other Leeds forwards. The only problem is his complicated adaptation process in the very beginning of his Leeds career. Assistant manager informs that currently Guilherme has serious problems adapting in the team… I should just wait and use him as reserve squad player more often.
