Leeds United

At the end of this game I couldn't tell you the difference between one joy or another, or which way is up, which way down.

Newcastle United seemed to find the boosters for their escape velocity in a win at Elland Road, and as the old stadium combusted, this was Leeds taking their stand against gravity. I can’t tell you much about what happened in the last three or four minutes of stoppage time, it seemed like the pitch was still full of celebrations and fighting, and after Meslier ran to the opposite corner to celebrate, now Krul was up at Meslier’s end, hovering in midfield, creating a chance. For Leeds, I’ll refer to you the Aston Villa game and say it was sort of like that but sped up and better, and maybe we’ll take a closer look at the footie in the Wolves game or one after that. Open the thesaurus and start at ‘hell’. At full-time the Leeds physios ran straight to Meslier to check his headache. Raphinha hasn’t been channeling his frustrations into his play but now, at full aggressive pelt, he was a teetering Scalextric on the only route around Krul, which left him with the only cross he could make, to the six-yard box where Gelhardt was waiting, free from all stresses, the golden kid not missing despite Brandon Williams’ one, last, forlorn, too-late shove. When Meslier launched the ball downfield, Gelhardt launched himself at Ben Gibson. He was waiting for an easy defensive header; Gelhardt beat him with a devastating attacking one. Marsch promised a lot more work in the video room with the players this coming week, but watching this game? It was appropriate to the occasion that the game didn’t end with Gelhardt’s goal, but with Norwich’s goalie dinking the ball over United’s panicking defence and Teemu Pukki, scorer of 75 goals for Norwich, smashing it into Illan Meslier’s face. Raphinha hitting a free-kick off the crossbar. But all this also helped keep the football in its place, somewhere down beneath the carnage where it belonged. Raphinha hitting a volley off the crossbar. But at the end of this game I couldn’t tell you the difference between one joy or another.

Sky Sports pundit and former PL defender Gary Neville believes that Leeds United are in trouble of relegation despite winning against Norwich.

I didn’t see the weekend game, but you expect them to beat Norwich.” I saw them against Aston Villa and they were awful. He believes that they were “awful” against Aston Villa and need to improve quickly as a win against the last time in the league is no real indicator.

Jesse Marsch's Leeds United picked up three points at home over Norwich City in the Premier League where games played is still an issue.

If you asked me 20 years ago if I would join a Champions League match on the sideline and what I was willing to do, I would say ‘what do I have to do’ so why should this change?” As of last Thursday, the club has a limit of just over $26k for away games due to sanctions against their owner. “Nothing has changed so far for me,” Tuchel said following their home win over Newcastle. “My last information [for the Lille game] is that we have a plane so we can go by plane and go back by plane.
