A defeat was due, and that is the best way to get one.
Pace, movement and attacking intent, this team is truly something.
The grumpy old gitts will whine on about the strength up front, but personally I think Diangana and Pereira both hesitated in shots on occasions tonight.
Other days like this we will have 3 or 4.
Johnson a fine keeper- let it be known.
Take tonight in your stride- there won’t be many defeats.

Only watched the second half and I thought we were fantastic and unlucky not to get an equaliser. Our passing and movement was a joy to watch. Getting beat by an own goal away at the promotion favourites is no disgrace.

I didn't expected us to dominate the football so much, we couldn't have done that last season and it proves what a good side we are and will become. I'm massively shocked at what i've seen lately, I can't believe how a club i thought was on its arse in May is back functioning again. Fair play to all involved, lets crack on and make sure this isn't a flash in the pan.

Leeds keeper didn't have to make a save all night
Sam Johnstone is a very good keeper

For those complaining about the strikers, Bilic is asking them to be a cog in the attack not a center target. They need to pass, open spaces through movement and runs, assist, and yes shoot. What matters is if the team is scoring, not who in this system. Bilic talked about this in an interview. Thats why he's happy with Austin even though he hasn't scored yet, because he is playing team ball and helping create opportunities. A striker in this system is not all about scoring.
Obviously tonight that didn't happen as much, which is why I was hoping for Austin to come on. The defenders have to assign a man and follow him because he's dangerous, which creates a lot of space our other playmakers.
