I heard this in the commentary last night and had to check it - that was only the third time we've won at Elland Road in my lifetime (I'll be 70 in August!). Not our favourite ground apparently lollol

Yes you're correct Raphina is a Winger not a Right Back, no idea what FB92 is on there and tbh i don't think Holgate will ever be more than a good squad option, we need a RB who can keep the balance with Digne on the other side and not just that someone who can actually cross the ball.

A very young Rooney scored the winner the last time we won there, and that was the first time in decades at the time

This is the thing, it looks like his crossing and ball work has improved and is improving? Put a couple of decent knocks in over the last two games I thought.
Think he has a lot to work on but he's still young and could become quite a competent RB.

Yeah when we broke the streak in 2002 we’d not won there since 1951, the previous to that was 1939. 4 league victories at an away ground in 82 years is a shocking record, infact we’ve only beaten Leeds 5 times at Elland Road in our entire history, the first coming in October 1926I heard this in the commentary last night and had to check it - that was only the third time we've won at Elland Road in my lifetime (I'll be 70 in August!).

The nativity on the Leeds forum is wild. They're a good team, they have a good coach and have talented attacking players. But comments such as us 'being embarrassing' for us focusing on defence (whilst in a winning position) and time wasting (again, whilst in a winning position) shows that their priorities are gone. Defence is the foundation of any team - our main strength lay in our defensive players and naturally our set up is such to utilise those strengths. Did we get saved at times by an outstanding goalkeeping display? Yes. Were we also denied a stonewall handball penalty? Yes. Suggestions of being lucky are way off the mark. We were denied the golden chance to go 1-3 up.
I lived in Leeds for a few years and was thrilled when they were promoted so have no ill feeling towards them as a team or city, but it's so annoying when defensive football is labelled as 'bad' or the 'wrong style' just because it worked.

Was very, very happy with Godfrey and Gomes last night, easily the two standout players. I thought Digne and Sigurdsson put in much improved performances than against Newcastle, while it was also nice to see DCL score, albeit I was frustrated with the several simple chances he missed.
Richarlison still appears to stink the place out and I think it's a matter of time before he's benched in place of King. You cannot carry players for so long, and it's not good to continue picking him when he's barely affecting the game. It's been like this for a long time now.
Olsen did well, but also needs to remember it's a fatal mistake to try fancy balls out of defence like he did with Doucoure last night. Once he cuts that out of his game I think he's a big improvement on Pickford. I'll be disappointed with Carlo if Olsen isn't told that the starting place is his to lose.

Because in the same situation Pickford wouldn't have made the saves.

So I've just watched Ped's match ratings on Toffee TV (I know) and it's inspired me to do my own as his were just mad (he gave Olsen a 10 whilst giving Doucoure a 7 lol) so here they are:
Olsen - 7.5. Some great saves which kept us in it second half but his distribution could've been better.
Mina - 8.5. Stepped up in that second half and made it his personal mission to secure the points. Great attitude.
Godfrey - 9. Guy's a beast, some great defending and when we gets gone on the ball it's a sight to behold at times. My MOTM.
Digne - 7. Another assist and solid enough when he needed to be.
Holgate - 6.5. Thought he was great in the first half but a few lapses in the second put us under pressure.
Doucoure - 8. Great engine and, like Mina, showed great attitude and determination in the second half.
Gomes - 8. Great performance on the ball specifically. Retained it very well throughout the majority of the game, was composed, and played some clever passes at times. Worked hard too - more of that please Andre.
Sigurdsson - 7.5. Excellent first half and very well taken goal with that clever run to get there, with some very nice touches in the final third. Dropped a bit second half when we went more defensive, but still solid.
Iwobi - 6.5. Thought he had a good first half, looked one of our more effective players when the game got stretched. Like Holgate though it was a different game second half and he suffered a bit. Can still see the improvement.
Richarlison - 6.5. Still nowhere near the level he should be at when he has the ball, but there were some signs in the first half especially that 'that' player is still in there.
DCL - 7. Wasteful a number times but worked hard and got a goal, so not too concerned.

Oh spot on mate.
The whole "lucky" tag is madness. Leicester fans used it or James goal....its not luck, its when we pay him for, and why he is here, for magic moments and his quality.
Also, luck....was Pickfords mess up for Leicesters goal lucky for them...or un-lucky for us ?!? Not sure.....
Ive also seen Bielsa's commenst about the pitch...he said only Leeds players slipped, he didnt see ours affected at all...eh!?!
Strange.
A great defense is worked on, and its not luck.
We have an Italian mangager...he will know the art of defending...now, if we never attacked at all....then it would be a worry.

What a good signing Godfrey is. Wow. Anyone who had forecast this and the RS losing to Brighton would have been consigned to a padded cell. Wonderful evening.

Look at City's defence this year, unbelievable. Look at the RS defence last year, unbelievable. Almost as if consistent defensive performances are the basis of a good season...
