‘Masterclass’ - What Liverpool and top six fans have said about Leeds United this season
and live on Freeview channel 276
It has already been an eventful season for Leeds United as they take to the sidelines for the World Cup break.
The Whites head into the break in 15th place, steadying themselves a little after a recent wobble. Jesse Marsch’s men won two of their last three games heading into the break, and that eased pressure on the American boss, even if there are still issues to fix. Leeds have managed to be pretty impressive against the top six sides they have played so far.

Hide AdFrom the four games played, the Whites have won two and fallen to two narrow defeats, and with that in mind, we have taken a look at what some of the fans of opposition fans have said after those games.
Take a look below...
Arsenal
After Leeds suffered an agonising 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, Gunners fans had this to say...
Kwhicks - “I don’t even wanna comment on our play today. Leeds we’re class today. Tactics spot on, press was damn near perfect. Guys just needed the final finish and it was a masterclass.”
Boxwell - “Weird. Leeds battered us 0-1. Can’t remember the last time I saw Arsenal come away with a result like this after being by far the worse team.”

Hide AdJFShay - “Outplayed us for most of the match. An in-form and healthy Bamford might have gotten a hat trick, and VAR bailed us out. Keep playing like this and you’ll be looking at a European spot.”
Jonesymeowmeow - “That Aaronson kid had a good game. Held up Martinelli, good link up and runs in the Arsenal third. Surprised I hadn’t heard of him before.”
Chelsea
Leeds made easy work of Chelsea, winning 3-0. Blues fans said...
Quantum_Tunneler - “Ted Lasso Ball is too strong...”
Aldrinnnn - “Leeds wanted it more. Zero positives to take away from this match. That’s all I’ll say about it. Now, time to move on to next game.”

Hide AdLusitanianative - “I think we just weren’t the better team today. Leeds came with a solid gameplan. Press hard all game and especially don’t let their central midfielders have any time on the ball. Gallagher and Jorginho rarely had the oppotunity to turn and when they did it was through clever feet. In defence, Leeds continuously broke up Chelsea’s possession while forcing mistakes that turned the ball over for viscious counter attacks while also going through some interesting patterns in the attacking box.”
Ty_is_fly - “Hilarious how people are stoked with the starting line up and then do a full 180 after the match blaming tuchel for the selection. Leeds wanted it more, we couldn’t adapt, we move on.”
Liverpool
Here’s what Liverpool had to say after Leeds’ dramatic late win at Anfield...
R41 - “Low key, Tyler Adams is the best dm in the prem.”
BruisedBee - “Leeds ran 11km more than we did, that’s an entire extra players worth of running. That’s how disgraceful our intensity is.”
Rydelo - “Leeds weren’t even particularly good.”

Hide AdTheSparklyHempster - “There’s very little I can see as positives right now. We have one decent performance - one performance you would expect given our players - and then turn in this utter rubbish because we seem to think we’re the best team in the world again. Leeds made us look foolish today by simply wanting it more.”
Saywallama - “In terms of the game… fair play to Leeds for having a go at us. It’s not hard to bypass our midfield nowadays and our defence is a bit suspect. So teams haven’t got to always play a low block against us. We can have lots of the ball and create chances, but our finishing is not always great and we are a bit predictable too.”
Tottenham
Here’s what Tottenham fans had to say after their dramatic 4-3 win over Leeds...
Jfanizzi - “All of Leeds goals were the result of elite attacking play, not our weak back line.”

Hide AdEllisisbae4 - “Conte’s crazy fitness training won us this game. Leeds looked absolutely dead after Benta’s first goal. And we looked like we were still in top gear.”
Cicinho_CK - “Contes introduction of a strict fitness regime had people complaining. But it’s paying dividends. You don’t win from behind so many times without having superior fitness. Leeds were running on empty at the end, we were still going strong.”
Stariban - “An improved performance but some crazy goals from Leeds. Kulusevski and Bentancur absolutely massive. Without them we’d be nowhere.”
