1. We still havent found Morsy's ceiling. Has there ever been a game for us where hes been found wanting or out of his depth? I dont think its an exaggeration that he could play in the premier league.
2. Burns did well. I was a touch worried about him but he was lively today. Kept a real threat. Just needed a touch more in the final moments.
3. Defense looked unsettled by their forward quality. We failed to get tight and blocks in and frankly all their first three goals were far too easy. Burgess played several dodgy passes.
4. Broadhead and Chaplin had moments but we needed them to get a hold of the game more. Neither let us down though.
5. Jackson. He was ok. Not brilliant as kieron said. He has virtually no hold up play. And you only have to compare him to the leeds lads to know what brilliant is.
6. We were more than competitive though. Still looks set for a decent season. Especially if we get a couple in? |  |

I don't get how burns did well and lively. But Jackson was only OK. He got 2 assists. Shot saved. And was a nuisance all game.
No one would compare Jackson to any of the Leeds front line. Same as no one would expect any form of hold up play from him. That's not his game.
He's an attacking forward with pace who can be a pain. That's it. He's useful. But having said that despite the millions they cost.. I don't think I'd say any of their strikers were brilliant. Good yeah.. brilliant? That player for qpr last week caused us more problems as an individual than there's did imo. |  |

I agree with a lot of that but I thought Morsy & Luongo went missing during that 20 min period Leeds had in the 1st half. Neither helped the defence out when required and didn't get on the ball enough to try and get control of the game in that period. Possibly unfair as Leeds deliberately targeted our wings and bypassed central midfield. |  | | |

I forgot Burgess also had a late fitness test until being reminded this evening. Could explain why he looked a bit off. Certainly think he struggled most out of the back four, and Clarke didn't look 100% either. With both of those having to play within themselves, plus no Walton or Hirst, it was always going to be tough. Especially as Leeds were able to bring in Sinisterra, Gnonto and Piroe. |  |

Exactly that. Centre mids cant do much when its the wide areas being attacked.
I thought Luongo was not as effective today and pleased that Taylor got some minutes. Having someone who can drive forward and score outside of the box goals will be a real asset. | |

Because he did well and he was lively.
It’s quite simple really. | | | |

Morsy wasn’t great today, slowed the game down a lot and had some very iffy moments. I’d say today’s example was why he couldn’t play in the Premier League, he’s far too slow and he’d spend half the season suspended because they go down like flies in that league. In fact it’s a shame Humphrey’s wasn’t on the bench, I’d have swapped either Morsy or Mass for him at 3-2 because we needed to actually up the tempo a bit, Morsy was far too ponderous and cost us going forward. |  | | |

Interesting perspective on Morsy yesterday....wrong but interesting. |  |

Mass should have been subbed at ht for Taylor,
Morsy was doing most of it on his own, |  | | |

On the occasions when Morsy was ponderous it was because nobody was moving for him. You have to ponder when you don't have any good options! |  |

I think that’s harsh on Burgess.
Mistakes for goals came from Woolf and Davis when you think Burgess would have more than likely lumped it away in his position.
As others have pointed out, they are unlikely to play against a £70m strikeforce again |  | | |

Luongo was below his normal level, although to be fair, his level is always high so a slight drop does stand out.
I thought Leeds targeted our strength in CM to null us for some periods. Bit like Sunderland in the first game they keep tight on CM, and we got stuck between helping out defence and starting attacks and never fully delivered. CM then got to grips again although it was 1-3 by then. This is where Taylor will hopefully help, he's a natural box to box player, getting the ball out of defense and arriving late into the box from midfield can destroy the best defences aka Warky style. | | | |

I'd rather a ponderous Morsy that keeps the ball than someone else losing it, not giving away cheap turnovers is crucial in this league.
