Bournemouth 2-0 Leeds United: Don't do that, or that

Sunderland 0-0 Leeds United: Let Leeds shake
Leeds are doing fine. But when every opponent has something to prove to themselves and against our history, do we need some drama of our own for more than fine?
Leeds United 1-1 Manchester United: Hype down, pipe down
This was frustrating because Leeds could have won, and because Leeds are still a team stuck at could.
Arsenal 2-1 Leeds United: Tummy button fluff
Leeds United might be more fun if they weren't so good, but being so good has put us on what Arteta would undoubtedly call a journey to respecting the best selves within as manifested by high-performance navel-gazing and playing fetch with Win the dog.

Leeds United 1-1 Brentford: The Bees of doubt

I usually just want to forget the Carabao Cup as early as possible, but this time I'm keener it should count: Dan James, James Justin, Lukas Nmecha, three goalscorers in a 2-0 win.
