How these roles work

Blamed (Causer)

Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.

Sympathy (Victim)

This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.

Credit (Beneficiary)

Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

Challenger 100% only get that red because the ref forgot he was on a yellow BUT Leeds have actually triggered our kryptonite, sitting in a low block with 10 men

Believer Another absolutely VILE performance. I can't wait for this manager to go.

Yes i agree that we can win when playing poor. But, our side is actually good enough to play well. Stach, DCL, Gabi... all solid midtable quality players. Arguably Rodon, Bijol, and Ampadu usually are as well. That should be enough for better quality football than what we've just witnessed.

I agree with the commentator, it did look like he maybe got the ball rather than Stach from that first replay. It's alright to change your mind when the second angle showed he clearly didn't though

Nothing will happen to the ref, not a single thing will be said by mainstream media but if the tackle for Gudmundsson happened to a Liverpool player, The Athletic would have 5 articles by tomorrow morning and Carragher would have a 30min segment on MNF solely about that mess.

I mean a lot of chances which look easy are only about .2 to .4 xg meaning there chances the majority of times a striker would miss statistically speaking.

@IrishPeacock @LUFC Don’t think there will be any apology, the tackle was boarder line, but plenty of yellows given for those fouls. Gudmenssun (spelt wrong I know.) knew he was getting a yellow for it, that’s why he was rolling around holding his foot.

No but in reality if you understand football, a second yellow has to a definite yellow to justify sending someone off. That was a questionable yellow at best, most refs would have just given a foul

Fair. I think refereeing is a bastard hard job. So much to focus on and get right. And we judge them only for what they get wrong. But knowing who you've booked? This is basic stuff. He totally fucked it today.

So obvious the ref is thinking he'll calm the crowd by issuing a nothing yellow after they were baying for a red for bijol. Clever move, you absolute bellend.

Ref was appeasing the fans after awarding us a penalty and not giving Bijol the second yellow but completely forgot that he'd already booked GG. Incompetence and spineless all at once.

-0.791 reddit ▲ 8

Bijol needs to be careful. Palace are clearly going to try and play for the second yellow. Still can’t believe DCL missed that man.

-0.735 reddit ▲ 7

Brennan Johnson, on a yellow card, should have received a 2nd booking for his tackle on James Justin in the 74th minute. That would have given Leeds 16 minutes plus injury time to score and go home with the 3 points. Later on, Palace was denied a goal due to Johnson being offside.

Decent point considering, although if only DCL put his pen away it would have been a different game as we were by far the better team with 11 men and equal with 10 but have no doubt we'd have beat them easily with 11 men. Feels like every week we are complaining rightfully because of shit and inconsistent refereeing and this was just another show …

Chris Sutton saying sarr made a meal of it when the replay showed he let the ball run and got clattered by their player so that’s a textbook foul. When are they gonna just commentate on the match instead of giving their opinions all the time.

Premier League Refs Under Fire For Inconsistency

Emerging

Leeds Draw Leaves Fans Divided on Progress

Emerging Controversial

Ref's Shocking Memory Lapse Ruins Match

Emerging

Fans are furious that a referee issued a soft second yellow card to a player after apparently forgetting he'd already booked him minutes earlier, with many arguing it was never a yellow offence in the first place and only became a sending-off because the official lost track of his own disciplinary record. The consensus is damning: this was incompetence so glaring that it should cost the referee his job, with several supporters pointing out the referee only sent the player off when alerted by players themselves.

Johnson Offside Drama Divides Fan Opinion

Emerging

Controversial Goal Sparks Divided Debate on Player Form

Fans are split on whether a player's recent goal represents genuine quality or just another moment that masks underlying inconsistency, with some defending his talent and blaming circumstances (new signings, tactical misuse, manager issues) whilst others argue he's simply not delivering when it matters.

Fans Survive Dramatic Finish, Emotions Everywhere

Controversial

A match has gone to the wire with an absolutely nerve-shredding conclusion that's left supporters oscillating between relief, disbelief, and manic laughter.

Nmecha Substitution Sparks Tactical Debate

Emerging

Fans Brace For Damage Control In Crisis

Supporters are bracing for a painful defensive battle after going down to ten men, with the conversation dominated by anxiety about conceding rather than any genuine hope of scoring.

Fans Clash Over Referee Accountability Measures

Emerging

Palace supporters are in full meltdown after their side failed to register a single shot on target against ten-man Leeds, with fans blaming manager Patrick Glasner's inflexible tactics and the squad's lack of clinical finishing for turning the club into a boring, ineffective outfit heading towards the Championship.

Fans Explode Over Another PGMOL Refereeing Disaster

The level of anger suggests this wasn't an isolated decision but rather the latest in a pattern of perceived injustice that's left supporters feeling completely let down by the integrity of the match.

Refs Bottled Consistency in Yellow Card Chaos

Fans are absolutely fuming that Gudmundsson received a second yellow for what they reckon was a softer challenge than the one from Johnson that only got a caution, with many suggesting the referee didn't even realise Gabi was already on a booking.

Leeds United Fans Swap Banter Amid Promotion Talk

Leeds supporters are engaging in playful, mixed-sentiment discussion about their club's prospects, with some expressing optimism about a potential victory whilst others jab at the team's trajectory or joke about dropping down to the Championship.

Controversial Call Divides The Fanbase

Fans are torn over a marginal offside or handball decision that's gone against their team, with the discussion split between frustration at VAR's involvement and grudging acceptance that the call might have been tight.

Emerging

Fans are absolutely fuming after their side failed to register a single shot on target in a match against ten men, with particular rage directed at a missed penalty that epitomises their inability to convert opportunities. The consensus is brutal—lucky escape or not, this level of clinical finishing is completely unacceptable at this level.

Missing Munoz Exposes Attack Vulnerabilities

Fans are debating whether young winger Brennan Johnson's poor performance was down to his own immaturity or the absence of key left-back Muñoz, who usually provides crucial attacking support down that flank. The conversation splits between those defending Johnson's youth and those arguing the entire left-side system collapses without Muñoz's creative contributions.

Leeds Defence Crumbles in Shambolic Display

Leeds United supporters are lambasting their backline's performance, with particular criticism aimed at centre-backs Bijol and Struijk for nervous, error-prone play that's gifting possession to opponents.

Wolves, Burnley, Brighton and Brentford games at home left. Spurs away which is basically a home game, too. Theres a great shot at two wins there. +

↳ Yeah good they should be fine then. I had no idea what their run-in was

↳ But you were worried?

↳ Yes I was getting a bit worried for them. They're close to the relegation spots and I didn't realise they had an easier run in, so now I'm a bit less worried for them −

I don’t see a world where spurs get more than 2 points in all their remaining games tbh, they play worse than wolves and it won’t be shocking if they go on to lose all their remaining matches −

↳ They'll beat us. We're in shocking form −

↳ Im probably insane but I can't shake the feeling they're getting 3 today −

↳ We'll come back to this in 90 minutes when they trounce Liverpool 8-0

We do have Burnley and Wolves home so if that's the mark, I'm confident. +

Players a lot better than Calvert Lewin have missed penalties by much greater distances than that. It happens. −

↳ And keepers much better than Perri have made much worse mistakes. Nobody said "It happens" he got dropped instead. I'm not saying DCL should be kicked out of the club, but this penalty miss is highlighting he's in poor form. Nmecha is playing better. Just give him a start. −

I don't agree DCL should be dropped but I do think Nmecha should have taken the pen.

For me....it's not that he missed this one pen. It's that he blows away too many high xG chances! What DCL has going for him, is he as the quality to score that brilliant goal every once in a while. But the problem with that, is you look and say, "what quality he has". But it completely masks the fact he's never been consistent. Quality = yes. Consistency= no. He's never had that. And the latter is quite possibly more important than the former. −

He'd scored 8/9 of his previous penalties. Nmecha should have taken it but it's not like DCL taking it was some sort of cardinal sin.

↳ I had no issue with him taking it. I could have even forgiven him blasting it over. There's skill involved in placing it high. But rolling it tamely wide of a 24 foot target is not something I can forgive an experienced Premier league striker for.

I don't get this. Tons of top class penalty takers, better players than DCL, have missed the target from penalties in football. It's fine margins. Such a reactionary take. His form is not good, I understand from that angle. −

↳ Putting it over the bar is one thing. Rolling it wide of a 24 foot target from 12 yards is not fine margins. It's inexcusable. −

↳ Again, far better players than DCL have done it. +

Insane take and based on pure emotion from a penalty miss. This is why fans don’t manage clubs lol. −

In hindsight, I think it is funny. It's like that yellow card put us in a better position. Palace can't break down a low block. They had ZERO shots on target. Jonny Cooper on Twitter: Leeds United today are the first team Opta has on record since 2003-04 to not face a single shot on target in a match where they played the second half with 10 men. A real battling performance.

Extremely unproffesional behaviour. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'd just be waiting for us to be carded for it −

Poor lad massively overestimated his team's attacking ability versus 10 men. Bit embarrassed for him. −

↳ The Palace board are STILL praising that celebration and calling him a legend for it… Yep, even post-failing to beat 10 men at home. Morons. −

Lest we forget.

The commentary acting like this was so cute and funny and not completely pathetic behavior from a team that doesn't even have enough fans to fill its stadium −

↳ Yeah I’ve seen this sort of behaviour being lamented as if they should be banned from the game forever….bur when it happens against us it’s “cute” −

"Gonna get down voted for this, but been saying for a while that Gudmundsson isn't yet at the level of this league. DCL is a bottom of the table striker in this league as well. (Here come the downs) "

11 replies consensus replies more negative Show replies

I don't think we would've had much luck getting anyone much better, Nmecha has done well but he's often injured after a big performance. 10 goals is decent and goes a long way to keeping us up if it happens, but would really like to see him get some more now, it's been too long since even a goal now. −

↳ Well, this team has been built for "tip of the spear" type of attack. Outside of Brenden A., we don't have another winger who plays much. Okafor and James injured a lot. We've been playing with 1 winger all season. When you're giving up a winger for a midfielder, then your striker has to put in the easy ones, or it's going to be a struggle.

Gudmundsson has been one of our best signings, best LB we’ve had in years, he’ll be the first to get snapped up if we go down +

↳ Why are you only judging him going forwards? You really think he's "best"? −

I mean every single striker, unless you are world class, misses a lot of easy ones. −

↳ It’s because they look easy but they actually aren’t. The pace of the game is so fast in the prem you don’t get much time to pick a finish most of the time.

↳ That's an English narrative, I"m sorry. The whole thing about "Easy chances aren't easy"......well, it's true from a pro vs. not pro pov. But among top pros.....I don't know if you lot watch any of Serie A, but these old journeymen in Serie A are making a lot more of those "easy ones" than a lot of the lads in the Prem do. Now, Serie A isn't at the Prem level overall, but that is mostly due to the tactics used there, and the less physical play, amount of running needed. But that also means that when the few chances created DO come.....they don't much tolerate missing sitters, among the top 6-8 teams especially. −

↳ I mean a lot of chances which look easy are only about .2 to .4 xg meaning there chances the majority of times a striker would miss statistically speaking. I think people underestimate the goalkeeper as well unless a player has a literal open goal it’s still a difficult chance as you need to be fairly precise a lot of the time to beat a good premier league goalkeeper. I wouldn’t necessarily say Foreign strikers are better i would say most of us dont watch full games in Italy and only see highlights so we don’t necessarily see the bad misses just the good finishes which test the goalie or lead to goals. I would also say it’s very easy to watch a chance from the stands or on the tele and think it looks easy but I can guarantee in reality it takes a lot of skill and composure to convert chances at a good rate in the premier league as the football is at a high level. −

↳ "Bad misses" happen everywhere. But I do watch full matches, and I'm telling you all right now, they don't happen nearly as often. Ademola Lookman would get flak in Italy for what they'd consider a "bad miss" but usually these were contested by a defender. Now you watch him in Spain, getting open nets and only the keeper to beat, and the look on his face is one of surprise and relief. In box defending in Serie A is generally better/stronger than it is in the Prem, especially on rebounds, and 2nd ball strikes. That is also part and parcel to why the Italians have done so poorly in the Champions League, because they play too slow, too defensive. But it does train attackers, and strikers, to have to be more clinical. Look at Tammy Abraham. He couldn't tie down a long term starting role at either Roma, or AC Milan. He is now at Villa, and has done pretty well when coming on, comparatively speaking. The Italian style is good for players who have high work rates, and don't have a clinical nature. They either get better there, or they don't play. As to xG. It's a stat that generally does represent chance creation and does that OK. But how it calculates the percentage on certain situations doesn't take into account things like how physically taller and more dominating a striker can be, and an open header,...etc. All I know, is that DCL had today, another ball put right on his head, and he had a lot of time to watch it, and aim it. And I don't hold the not scoring that against him, as much as the fact he did not keep that header down! He had time to keep that header down, and put it either side of the middle, which is hard to stop. Instead he put it straight at the keeper. I don't know what xG called that, but it's one of DCL's supposed strengths. When you do that poorly at one of your supposed strengths, then what can you do with your weaknesses?

DCL has 10 goals same as Danny Welbeck!

Some many on this sub seem unaware of this simple point you've made. Undisciplined, unfocused play is exactly what gets us into this situation. If the officiating is poor, and you are already on a yellow, going in for a tackle like that invites trouble. It's not fair but players have to adjust. −

Losing too many matches is how you get relegated. Making mistakes in one game is not. −

↳ That’s somehow nuanced and brain dead at the same time. Well done. Making mistakes in the one off games is why we’ve lost more games than we should have −

↳ My point is I'm sure any team in the league is capable of those 5 mins. We've got plenty of points on the board so far so we're quite clearly not destined for relegation. +

↳ I mean that is just wrong. We are very clearly in a relegation battle. We could be in the relegation zone within a week −

↳ I didn't say we weren't? In the league that's our first missed pen this season (that hasn't led to a goal) and first red card. Clearly not been a problem for us.

↳ You’ve just said ‘we are quite clearly not destined for relegation’ and that is just delusional. Enjoy the rest of your weekend −

↳ Christ. Quite obviously meaning we're not a terrible team, already in the bottom three with no hope of survival. Try and enjoy yours please. −

↳ I shall. Going for a curry for Mother’s Day and a few beers. Take my mind off being a Leeds fan for a bit. Yourself?

↳ Sounds great. Think I'll enjoy that solid point on the road by a strong and resilient team! +
