Leeds United 3-0 Luton Town: Inside Elland Road podcast debrief

Graham and Joe ask the question: is every visitor to Elland Road bad - or are Leeds just that good?

Transcript

00:00Yeah, the Luton game, another kind of, it sounds disrespectful to call them a banana

00:10skin because they've got a lot of players who played Premier League football last year.

00:15They're a newly relegated side. Farkas still expects them to be in the conversation for

00:19the top six. Note, however, that he's not talking about them being a topic for the automatics.

00:26But you felt like Leeds had everything to beat them. You know, they had everything going

00:31for them in order to win this game. And I felt like they would. As long as, and I said

00:37it before the game, as long as they get the first goal, I think it'll be fine. I don't

00:43think any of us would have predicted Sam Byrom with a D'Canio finish for the opener. I don't

00:50think he's even had a dream in which he scored a goal like that. Fair play, lovely finish

00:56and lovely little bit of footwork to create space for the initial shot. You know, a little

01:00shuffle from foot to foot, takes a shot, spoons up into the air and then that little jump

01:07in. And that early goal, it just, it means so much against teams that sit deep. It meant

01:13that there wasn't that elongated period of Leeds having all the ball, having some chances

01:16and frustration growing in the crowd and nerves growing. And then, you know, if they hadn't

01:21scored it and you get that moment where Melia gets dinked, you know, say that goes in, then

01:26it's a completely different proposition, that game, because then they've got something to

01:29defend. You know, we were talking about earlier how, you know, Leeds have won six on the bounce

01:36at home since that Burnley defeat, which again, I don't think they were, I don't think they

01:41were second best against Burnley. I think they were the better side. It's just, there

01:43was some really good goalkeeping on display from James Trafford. And so many of those

01:48teams that have come to Elland Road, yes, they've set up in a certain way. They've given

01:52Leeds a lot of respect and we've come away with it thinking, well, bloody hell, you know,

01:57Coventry weren't very much, you know, Plymouth, they were shocking. Luton weren't very good.

02:03Is that fair? Are we maybe doing Leeds a disservice here? You know, are all these teams bad or

02:10are Leeds just that good?
