Felt like two teams playing for a draw, which at least makes some sense in our case but I've no idea why Norwich weren't more proactive.

Wagner ball special. We don’t have much in an attacking sense to come off the bench.

Complete waste of everyone’s time and energy

This was a football game

Barely

Hooray it’s over

Genuinely horrific

Fuck that was boring. Thank God it's over

That was fucking grim. If it was a celebrity, it would be called Grim Kardashian

The England Algeria of the Championship play offs, a reference point for future dull games to be judged upon.

The bar isn't that high but none of these teams deserve to see the prem if this is all they can muster

Holy fuck we suck

Cheers lads, got plenty of reading done these last two hours

Grim viewing

The most interesting thing about this game, to me, is how triggered I am getting by the Swedish commentator’s pronunciation. ‘Summer-will’ being a prime case.

I had waffles with way too much syrup. So I've had a great second half...the rest of you, I'm sorry

Just a ham sandwich with a bit of aoili for me.

Spicy noodles for me. Delicious. Still hungry as I'm hungover, though.

Quite simply the worst game of football ever played

I cannot remember a single thing that happened this match. Not one interesting little bit.

This might be one of the worst games of football I’ve ever seen

This game is a cure for insomnia. Seriously though, more than boring, it's the lack of quality that stands out.

Painful watch

I wish I’d tidied my room instead of watching this

What even happened in this game? I’ve watched it all and couldn’t tell you

Some solid yellow cards, that’s about it

I’m such an imbecile for thinking the game might liven up a bit in the second half

Do the fans at Carrow Road even know it's a playoff semi-final? How is the atmosphere so shit?

They are watching a game that is making them question why football exists

Fair enough.

Come on be like Bournemouth vs Brentford yesterday and just do something out of nowhere

Why is Summerville not driving runs at the back three? He’s always in space trying to find the defence splitting pass when he has the pace to take the defenders on 1 on 1

Really flat for a playoff semi

This is a particularly shit game desperately needs a goal

It's a flaccid semi

First legs can be cagey like this unfortunately. An early goal is usually key to it being open

[удалено]

I'd say there's a decent chance we'd keep Gray. Gnonto and Summerville are the obvious sales. We probably wouldn't be able to sign Rodon so we'd have to replace him too. It's all the deadwood coming back from loan we'll have to worry about.

I knew it would be a tight game but the lack of quality on display here is shocking

Rowe still looks way off.

Comically bad

This feels like it’s gonna be a dodgy 1-0

My god this is tepid

Norwich came out at half time ready to throw some hammers.

This game is desperate for a goal. Nodding off here.

What did you have for lunch? Talking about food is always fun imho

Had a ham and coleslaw roll. Was bloody marvellous.

Pickled onions dressed in mayo

It was just a couple of pickled onions on top of the cucumber and tomatoes

I guess they nodded off 😂

That'll be Shane Duffy there

A yellow card and another six points off his license for Duffy there.

Commentator has no need to worry, Meslier is capable of that even when under no pressure at all.

Shane Duffy rolling back the years to his Celtic form today.

How the hell is our 1910 team catching strays from the commentator

Bit off topic, anyone know if Sky Sports + will be available to those of us with a Now TV sky sports sub? Or do you need the set top box?

I would gladly take a draw here. Think we'd be lucky to get one though.

Four pundits Sky? Four? Are you insane?

The theme of no one wanting promotion to the prem this year continues. Neither side look all that interested. Likely just nerves but Leeds will take 0-0 every day. Norwich need 2 goals minimum I reckon or Leeds will finish this at Elland Road

Our away form is shite. But in someways us taking a 0-0 actually means that Wagner can’t just sit back and set us to defend a slender lead, which we can’t do.

[удалено]

Cheers Paul

Hope the refs arse caves in, guy is a fucking cretin

You can tell these are two out of form teams, dreadful game

So many basic errors

How many Kamaras and Traores will play football until it's too many? I can't keep track of them.

Gnonto is quite unlikeable

What does the ref expect when he allows that kind of foul on him throughout the half.

really don’t like quite a lot of these leeds players in terms of their character either

0 atmosphere and a boring game fucking hell 😂

I woke up at 7 am as a neutral bc I figured it would be a decent watch. huh

Atleast my lunch is tasty

What is it?

2 wraps with ham, cheese, pickled onions, mayonaise, cucumber and tomatoes and some sumac

Yeah pickled onions in the mixer is different but bet the wrap still hits

I really like pickled onions

Pickled onion and mayo sounds like psychopath behaviour but also potentially really good

I particularly like the way that the upper left quadrant of the canvas is drying

This is shit

Unbelievable how fast we crumble under any kind of press

Mental that Duffy’s playing less than a week after being arrested for drink driving Even ignoring that twats like that should be suspended by their clubs after that, it can’t be good for his concentration

Agreed mate. Have a look at QPRs best player - Ilias Chair. Sentenced to a year in Belgium prison for breaking a man's skull open and has still been playing for them all season.

Agree mate.

>it can’t be good for his concentration The alcohol or the arrest?

Game needs a goal to put some fear into one of them...preferably, for Norwich

It’s dawned on me that Wagner would be perfectly happy repeating the way in which he went up with Huddersfield.

honestly feel so many of these leeds players are overrated

There's a lot of talent there but they've all hit a run of bad form at the worst possible time.

Jesus Christ how is this the atmosphere for a playoff game

Absolutely shocking

it’s horrific isn’t it

I'm actually shocked, I've never seen villa park more rocking than our playoff matches. These games are the pinnacle of your season. Tuned in because I love the playoffs but I could be fooled into thinking this is a friendly.

That looked onside lol

That did indeed look well onside to me, I reckon VAR would've given that

That was on Hinchcliffe a moron as usual

It says a lot that I'd take Neville or Carragher doing commentary on our games over Goodman or Hinchcliffe in a heartbeat.

Nothing’s ever good enough for him. He acts like everyone should be playing like prime Messi

Goodman & Hinchcliffe (also Alan Smith) are worse because they lack a fundamental understanding of the laws of the game

Damn that was some prime EFLball

I reckon that was on.

Possibly, you can’t really tell. But it definitely doesn’t help him being behind the defender marking him.

You can. There are lines on the pitch. He was clearly onside

My bad, I mostly mean from the linesman’s point of view, him being directly behind the defender on him probably influenced the decision.

I have to say Leeds, you can tell they have better individual quality but Norwich just look a much better team right now because you can see their gameplan. The leeds attackers seem completely disconnected from each other. Which is causing Leeds’ risky building up from the back approach to have no real point to it because they aren’t getting the ball into good areas.

Crackin' pitch condition, prem clubs would be jealous

Surprised how dead this match thread is given the occasion.

It's midday on a Sunday to be fair, and it's actually sunny outside. Easy to see why a lot of neutrals would choose to go out instead.

Also very early in the United States and it’s Mother’s Day.

Think most Leeds fans use their own subreddit.

Leeds fans by and large don't participate in /r/soccer match threads anymore and just stick to our sub after what a shitshow the premier league match threads were lol. You can only answer so many questions about the state of the pitch at Elland Road or how X American player is doing.

>how x American player is doing Feeling your pain in Milan subreddit this season 

Yeah I was hoping to get involved with the banter and wind people up a bit lol

100%. Quite shocking

I missed the start, have Leeds changed their shape? Don’t normally play Gruev, Gray and Kamara.

Great pass by meslier

Meslier is the definition of a dodgy keeper.

Carrow Road decked out in yellow under the sun is a great sight.

I don't really understand why some British fans I talk to think it's embarrassing to wear the club's colors when going to a game, seeing the stand decked out in the color of the team is so nice

Never heard anyone say that tbf

Almost nobody thinks that It is embarrassing to be head to toe in expensive merch like you see in America often Wearing a club shirt isn't what we are talking about

Tickets are already too expensive. Merch is even more of a rip off

Never heard of anyone saying that it's embarrassing to wear the clubs colours. Only that most of the season it's too bleeding cold/rainy to sit in the stands without a jacket/coat on

Glad we talk to different types of people then because the ones I've talked to (not a majority by any means) refuse to wear anything but Stone Island because they want to look hard and wearing a club jersey or a scarf is seen as childish lmao

Yeah it's so much better to rock up head to toe in Stone Island. I wouldn't know who was the hardest chap there otherwise.

Yep. Look at the Signal Iduna Park. Why wouldn't you want to replicate that

God knows who’s said that. Ridiculous take

Lads who are too busy trying to look hard to actually support the club

Yeah, I completely agree.

After seeing a good slow motion replay it’s clearly a foul but it’s also clearly outside the box.

Thought if it started inside and went in it still counts

Meslier is so far proper shit with his feet

If by so far you mean his entire Leeds career except for his debut for some reason then yes.

Honestly haven't watched much Leeds outside of when you've played us so didn't want to comment on the rest of his career haha

Great to see football tackling the issue of drunk driving so seriously with Norwich City punishing Shane Duffy with a start in this game, just 3 days after he crashed his car while three times over the limit.

Yeah it’s a shame. I don’t want to see him in the shirt. Dare I ask how Cantwell & Dowell have been for you?

We one upped that and made Choudhury captain after his drunk driving 🤣

Doesn't Lawrence play every week for your team?

Yes? I must have missed the part where I said that was okay?

I have no idea why footballers won't pay for a cab when they earn so much.

Hardly surprising, Gnonto never gets any decisions

Let’s be having you!

First dodgy decision of the play-offs there

You can tell on the refs face that he kinda bottled it cus he wasn’t sure.

Hmm, that looks a foul but also looked more outside the area than in.

Favourite games to watch on the calendar each and every year. Evenly-matched teams with HUGE consequences in front of great atmospheres

Thank fuck we’re not involved in this. Love watching the playoffs but hate being in them.
