Why wouldn’t you want Liam Cooper to just always give the ball to Georginio Rutter, every chance he gets?
No.7: Tommy Wright

With Tommy Wright we’re immediately into hybrid territory, writes Moxco.
No.7: Philemon Masinga

Gordon Strachan’s no.7 shirt was always going to be too tiny for Tony Yeboah, writes Moxco.
No.7: Robbie Keane

‘Why did Robbie Keane wear the number 7 for Leeds?’ asks Moxco. Keane seems as confused as everyone else.
No.7: Mirco Antenucci

The Sick Six were superficially easy to read, writes Moxco. Antenucci was perhaps the most enigmatic of Massimo Cellino’s Serie B imports.
No.7: Kemar Roofe

Nobody was sure exactly what Kemar Roofe was exactly for, writes Moxco, then it all made perfect sense.

A goalless draw by the docks? Now the form just looks that bit more meh, and Rodon won’t be available, and Gnonto got injured, and Piroe didn’t score…
Millwall 0-3 Leeds United: It’s just right
New post at The Square Ball: https://www.thesquareball.net/leeds-united/millwall-0-3-leeds-united-its-just-right/
Leeds have come back looking like a normal team, making pleasant work of playing football instead of insisting on hard, losing ways.
Since we last met: Millwall

‘Y’know, I’ve heard a lot about the atmosphere, and I gotta be honest with you, bring it on, man (weird chuckle), bring it on (obtuse anecdote about college basketball)’

It’s an intense process. But it’s a simple principle. Which is a good way of describing Bielsa.
