I didn't watch, and was out anyway.
Were there any signs of improvement? How did the midfield 3 with Baleba, Santos and Tielemans fare?
Should Lacey get Amad's place?

I am in the minority but yes there was good signs. Without Bruno we were better and certainly more compact at the center. Both Santos and especially Baleba had a good game. Maybe Tielemans had his best with us with the double pivot providing steal behind him.
I don't think they will, but that must be a performance to build on. Stay compact, win some games ugly (we could win ugly today), bring the confidence up and then start from there. In both the atleti and Leeds game we were more solid and better overall.

We had Bruno, Mount, Tielemans, Cunha, Amad and Mbeumo on the field and none of them played in their best positions.

Thought the middle was much better. had legs and looked half decent. Its something because I feared a hammering pre game, so to see constructive passes movement and energy pleased me. Also we didn't buckle when leeds scored, another plus. feared a total collapse. It's not much but its better. simply need a few wins thou.

Wow, anyone who thinks that was good what are you judging us on the quality of the game was atrocious, virtually every player was out of position but all worked harder, but that don't make it any good, Draw was about fair .
And if we now saying Santos and Teilemans were good in that game. Well I'm speechless.

I think there has been signs of improvement in the last 2 games, we should have won in Madrid. Yoro was brilliant again, as he was in Madrid until the ridiculous red card.
Draw was probably about right on the balance of the game, we deserved to go ahead when we did but 2nd half Leeds pushed hard before their goal. A point at Leeds isn't a bad result in the grand scheme of things, they have had a good start to the season and pushed Arsenal hard last week, but we really need to start winning games as soon as possible.
