Calvert-Lewin (discussion on transfer)

I think they have a decent chance of staying up. The style of play change looks to have been almost accidental but it’s made a big difference. Might struggle if they get one or two injuries though, squad depth isn’t great.
 

Leeds won’t go down they’re breaking away from it. They’ll fancy their chances against us next week it will be an interesting game for sure.

Having a goal scorer makes the difference in tight games. We’ve done amazingly well but it’s been despite our strikers on the whole rather rhan because of them.
 
He's proven me wrong to be fair.

Didn't want us to go anywhere near him, but you can't argue with what he's delivering.

More or less impossible to imagine us scoring 4 in a premier league game.
 
Leeds are quite well financed so eventually they'll get it right on the field and will lose the yo-yo tag. From our perspective it might be better if they did another turn in the Champo but we can't affect what other clubs do.
KLD knows his task is to run one of the best 17 football clubs in England year after year.
It seems boardroom incompetence has caught up with Wolves and now maybe West Ham too so potentially some new blood in the yo-yo category. Come on down Cov and Boro!
 
Said he was decent and it was a gamble

Looks like that gamble is paying off if he stays fit he should get them a few more wins

Equally, it's more or less impossible to imagine us conceding 5 like they have, hence our +2 GD vs -7 for Leeds despite them scoring 4 yesterday.

Nearly every Leeds fan wanted him out the club a few weeks back 😂 saying it was a disgraceful signing, manager out striker out board let the fans down etc. They’re one of the most bipolar fan bases there is.
 
Given the wages he's on it was alway a big risk which looks to be paying off for them at the moment.

Farke looked to be on the brink but has found a formation that's working for them and their home record is good too. It puts West Ham in quite the predicament, as they probably have to go for it in January and it could backfire
 
Only saw MOTD highlights but Palace looked physically and mentally tired and defensively were really poor. Leeds have energy and confidence at present but are not the same side away as they are at home.
Tough game but they all are at this level. They will find us a different side to last season so will be a tough game for them too. They will be very happy with a point.

Even though most of Palace’s team yesterday didn’t play on Thursday it will still have had a huge impact on their preparation for today. Only the top teams seem to be able to not be too much affected by a mid week Euro game. It will definitely have helped us vs the visitors last week also.
I’d love us to get into Europe, but the league form would almost certainly take a hit.

After a great start it seems Bournemouth and Palace are slowing down. That doesn't seem to be the case with us, we still look unbeatable at home and extremely hard to beat away. Next game will show us exactly where we are, a clear win will mean we can push for Europe with AFCON players coming back/January signings on the way soon.

Aye, for me they will always be "dirty leeds" hope they go sttaight back down.
 
Seems Farke went to a system that many Leeds fans were calling for …and it’s worked very well
He’s not now it seems under pressure of sack -fine margins
Think he went to said system due to injuries
With our points already we can have a right go despite AFCON .
Remember pundits all said yesterday we would get nothing ….

Wouldn't put money on him staying fit for long.

He’s averaged 28 games a season in the premier league in the last eight with a couple of those being only 17 game seasons. He’s not exactly robust but he probably isn’t quite as injury prone as made out.
