a draw would be a fantastic result 1-1

I'll take a draw. Long way on a Tuesday night with another long one to Norwich on Saturday...a testing week for the team (and my liver).

Two long away days in close succession. These are the kinds of tests Bielsa will need to master if we're going to progress this season. It'll be interesting to see if he rotates anyone against Norwich (given Swansea and Norwich's form, this game is much tougher on paper and I doubt he'll change anything that's worked for him so far).

If we have an away performance like we did against Derby in this game, I'd fancy Leeds to win - Swansea will be no mugs though and IIRC are unbeaten so far?

I'd happily take a draw before k/o. Either team is capable of winning.

Heard a rumour that Leeds fans are wearing 'Potter Stinks' badges which I find deeply disrespectful. Especially after Cedric Diggory asked them not to.

1-1 at half-time. Good half mainly by Swansea. The front 3 of Celina, McBrune & McKay is quality and should score loads of goals between them. The goal was thanks to the 3 of them (great technique by McKay especially).
Bielsa made a tactical switch just before the half-hour but it didn't change much. Credit to Leeds for attacking despite being second best for most of the half. Cross and tap-in. Not diabolical defending but not great attacking either. Quite an undeserved equaliser coming a couple of minutes before half-time.

Intriguing one. I'll continue watching this over the CL play-offs.

What a great header that was from McBurnie.

2-2 seriously flatters Leeds. Swansea were on top for most of the game but if you concede those kind of goals (just a pass in the penalty area tucked in) you can't say they deserved to win. Rodon made a couple of costly mistakes but overrall most of the players will feel hard done by to get only a draw from this performance. Especially the front 3 who were very good. Swansea just need to sort out these concentration lapses and they should be up there (not that I know my way around the league, just a gut feeling).
Not much to say on Leeds under Bielsa. Was a rather underwhelming performance which should have seen them lose this game. Like I said, the score flattered them.

Was beautiful. His first goal was a joy too, made the defenders look right mugs.

3 goals in 4 games. 25+ league goals this season and you can quote me on that.

I think Leeds did ok considering we had to make a last minute alteration to the squad in the warm up, barely leaving us with a recognised centre back.

We adapted ok in the circumstances, Swansea played us at our own game. Fair play to Bielsa though, he stuck to his guns and last season Leeds would've rolled over and folded after going behind. Instead we ground out a point against an impressive Swansea team.

who was writing us off? was a bad game for us, but we did have chances to win the game so did Swansea, I was impressed with our defence to say we had 3 rb's in the back 4
