saw the game and very proud, 2-0 but far from disgraced. Fans as always 10 out of 10. Think Viera showed real class, Roofe also showed real talent, skill and threat very unlucky not to score. O'kane looked good until off same with cooper who can defend when not next to Well-end-chi. Silvstri will get slated but first half incedent was bartleys fault and 1st goal was great ball and very hard to deal with, confident Green would of conceeded there as well. Also first half save green would of got knowhere near. I also thought silvestri was doing well collecting balls and showed good hands until that point. All in all good night, team showed class and promise and going right way and two inches from goal which might of changed everything. oOnly bad point in my opinion is green will now take back starting place and was hoping for silvstri to earn place back (apprently three penalty saves ain't enough when green can shot stop and looks more error prone than Frank Spencer on LSD) that said I trust monk and whoever he picks is right as the man is clearly a demi-god and Don Revie's 2nd coming. At final wishtle no dirace losing to top liverpool team who had five players who cost more on thier own than who leeds team. MOT.

Spot on bw really think silvestre has earned his chance, roofe getting better and better, don't think Dallas is good enough, pissed off that Taylor had his best game just to put himself in the shop window, more effort in this game than I have seen for a while, but positive that we will keep on improving, well done Leeds United.

Thought Silvestri should have come off his line for the first goal however this will always be his Achilles heel. Team (including Silvestri) did us proud.

Sorry Berm I know you have a tingly feeling in the nethers for the cat but I'm afraid, much like the first goal against Norwich in the last round, Green would have probably dealt with the Origi one. Yes its a good ball in but both tonight and then he moves backwards towards the line giving the player more to aim at. Had he moved forward and made himself big, like most keepers would, he would have likely kept it out at the cost of a clattering.

Think its the same reason he doesn't come out and challenge for balls from corners, he doesn't want to take a hit. At the end of the day Sivestri will save some stuff Green wouldn't (Pens for example though Green has a decent record against spot kicks just not as good) and vice versa, they just have different skill sets, while we are winning and barely conceding in the league though I wouldn't change anything about the first choice back line, its obviously working.

gummie off my xmas card list. I can see what people are saying about the cat but I think he can be a match winner while green can be a match loser. both are weak in areas but green is not better in any department for me. both weak on corsses, commanding the area and descion making but cats shot stopping is so good it post him above a weaker green. I can not see any reason to plick green ahead of the cat even if the cat has some massive falws.

Bermondsey I have to agree with Gummie so I won't be on your Christmas card list either. Regrettably you don't see enough games to judge Green he makes the odd mistake but what gal keeper doesn't. He has been one of the main reasons why the team has not conceded so many goals this season and with his vast experience he is justifiably the number one choice to be in the nets. Sivestri will learn a lot from him but the one thing he will have to teach his self is to have courage and play without fear and then he won't make the mistakes he made last night and he will then become world class and possibly be selected for his country as Green was for his.

FINE EAST YOU ARE OFF AS WELL! to be fair I can see what you are saying and I do not see everygame so there is a very good chance I have missed something about green, all these fans and more importantly Monk can not be wrong, guess I have to trust judgement and accept I might be wrong with this one. still no cards for you and gummie though. I will send extra cards to silvestri and you lot don't show him enough love!
