Calvert-Lewin stars as Leeds thrash Newcastle to go third

23:44Way fair, every style, every home. You walked in to the commentary box, giving it the biggest name drop of all time. Ishigua texts me saying, Chris Martin wants your number. And I was like, what, the former New Zealand fast bowler? But she went, no, Chris Martin from Colquay wants your number. I thought this was a wind-up. And I get a text from Chris Martin saying, I love the pod, I'd love to meet you and Af, and I still think it's a wind-up. So thank you, Chris, for following us and listening to our nonsense. I'm Mike Atherton. I'm Nasser Hussain. Follow Sky Sports Cricket or get your podcasts the usual way.

24:25However you get them, we will be there. Welcome back to the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. It's time to get more analysis of today's match and head back to the studio.

24:41Great night for Leeds United. They've beaten Newcastle by four goals to one, continuing their really promising start to this season. Leeds fans are starting to get excited. Another goal for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and maybe there is a new contract around the corner for Daniel Farker, who has won the growing adulation of the Leeds fans at Ellenbrode, not just tonight, but he is building quite a body of work now. Let's take you back to that moment it all turned round for Leeds United in December last season. And Jamie referenced it earlier, but only four teams across the last 29 games. That is quite a body of work, have taken more points than Leeds.

25:21Liverpool only one more point in that time. And that has continued into this season. Remember, beyond August, they didn't get into the top half last season, but sitting pretty in third place with one game to go before the first international break of the season. in what could be possible for Leeds this time round. But even after all that, he wasn't entirely satisfied with the way the game ended. Here he is now with Juliet Farrington. Daniel, it was a special night out there. The fans were lapping it up. If you had one disappointment from tonight, would it be the goal you conceded? I saw you in the technical area and you were fuming.

26:09Yeah, for each and every manager it would be a nightmare after such a game to concede so late and not to have the well-deserved clean sheet. Yeah, of course, I was not happy with the situation. We opened the centre and allowed them to score one goal. It doesn't take anything away that my boys were brilliant today and we fully deserve to win this game. Yeah, perfect start right now with eight points, terrific performance. But yeah, there's never a perfect performance, there's always something to moan about. and this was definitely one of the very rare points I have to criticise. So much energy out there on the pitch.

26:42Yes, energy, quality, good structure in and without possession is complicated against Newcastle because you need to find a good balance out of pressing them but also to be aware of their unbelievable pace and strength and counter-attack. So we found this balance today and especially in the first half we were the dominant side. You say you found the balance, physicality. it was like brutal for them to experience Yes, we have a good fitness level now so it's not just like the will because otherwise always a team who would have the stronger will would win a game, you always need to do this out of a good structure, you need to find the right triggers also like how to press, everyone has to be spot on on the same page and you know it's lots of work on the training ground to be that compact and to be that intense and pressing, it's not like okay we go out right now and run them over, no chance otherwise also the other opponents against Newcastle would have done this.

27:34It's always hard work and also quality work and well-structured work. You need to be good in possession in order to open them to create many chances. We had more chances to score more goals tonight. But overall, I was very happy with our performance. Different goal scorers as well, although the first one was lucky, wasn't it? I wouldn't say lucky anyhow, because we brought ourselves into a good shooting position. You have to ask questions. If the opponent is defending more or less with all players around the box, you have to go also sometimes for a strike out of distance and the quality strike and a few were blocked even before sometimes from my players themselves and yeah, if you ask enough questions then sometimes there's also like a deflected strike to go in but I would also say it was important to combine us into this area and also that I was so brave to be there with a good strike.

28:21The one thing I was going to ask you about Dominic Carvert-Lewin is the fact that 12 months ago you didn't have a club you had that phone conversation with him you brought him here he believed in you you believed in him I put to him that 12 months on he's becoming a bit of a Leeds hero a bit of a cult hero, proper centre forward Yes well deserved, he's in outstanding shape and he plays with lots of confidence, his fitness level is top and I expect him also to lead the group together with a few other players and he's done this, he's overtaken his responsibility and his workload is never in doubt, he scores goals but not just the goals, the way he plays for us is outstanding and for me one of the standout strikers in this league.

29:00What's impressed you the most about this start that you've had? Is it something that you've worked hard on in the summer that you're actually seeing come to fruition? The consistency of the performance away performances. We had difficult away games, also very difficult home games against Brentford and Newcastle but also we played the games very consistent and very much on the front foot. Also flexible, we can change the base formation if needed. We look very, very solid at the back but we have also created many chances could have scored more than just the goals that we have scored. So overall, at the moment, a good balance.

29:35But again, we're just on eight points. If we right now stop to win points, we won't achieve our goals. But you can at least enjoy tonight? Tonight we will enjoy, but from tomorrow, we prepare for the next difficult game on Sunday. Enjoy your week, Daniel. Thank you. We will. Generally pretty happy, but he's going to be whipping them for that one they conceded at the end. You get that sense. They love him, don't they? so Bournemouth Sunderland Brighton all playing in Europe this season why can't it be Leeds turn next season any reason no no reason at all if they keep people fit they keep the performance levels consistent like he's just mentioned there Daniel I don't see any reason why they can't they're definitely in that bracket of teams now they'll be in the mix there's no doubt about it and I keep pointing there to Alan Road at the moment I'm looking at on the big screen because that is it almost that brings a few more points I think the fans are incredible there and obviously with the intensity the lads are playing at it's a real fortress it's a difficult place to go their home form will be key to it as well It's a bear pit isn't it it's a throwback Ellen Rold you just you imagine what it's going to be like and it is and it's because we've got so many new grounds I'm thinking of Everton as well good as someone's like that you know that old fashioned ground they get behind or they get on top of you you know the opposition and Ellen Rold feels like that but as I said we're losing them aren't we because of the nature of you know new stadiums and different things but It's a fantastic atmosphere.

30:56Imagine what it's going to be like when they bump that capacity, which is the plan right now. Newcastle found it tough tonight. Here's Matthias Eisler with Juliet Farrington. Matthias, you know it's going to be a season of ups and downs and you're new coming to the Premier League and you've got this new young team as well. That was brutal out there tonight. Yeah, that's football. It's the Premier League. It was clear from the start and I said that many times that we will have up and downs, challenges along the way. And tonight, yeah, we face that challenge. And it's tough, it's really tough. I have to say, difficult to digest.

31:37But I hope, and this is the chance now also, to learn straight away out of that. Because not that long time now, till the next match at home, this is good to show the right reaction again. When you say difficult to digest, what frustrated you, annoyed you, disappointed you the most? Well, you know, again, it's clear with our young squad that they will be up and down. So I said that just now, and you need to bring the fundamentals on the pitch, especially against the physical strong team. Leeds is so intense, especially here at home, and we couldn't match that physicality in the first half. So that was a key element.

32:17Of course, there are also some other aspects as well, but I don't want to search excuses now. We need to learn out of it and to do it better. One of the words I wrote on my team sheet was overwhelming. Were you overwhelmed as a team? No, I think it was just what I said. We missed the fundamentals. This is normal. If you don't bring that on the pitch, then you struggle. And that's what happened today. And I guess as well, you don't really have a lot of options at the moment, do you? Because of injuries and Nico as well, the concussion. Do you know the severity of that yet? This comes down all together, right?

32:56But this is also a challenge we need to overcome and we will. What message have you said to your players? Exactly this, that we need to learn out of it. We need to bring first the fundamentals on the pitch and then we can build on that. And I guess you do have the confidence that you will show up in the next game. Of course. No problem at all. there won't be a confidence hit from this. No. Thank you. Well, they are a young team and they have got a lot younger this summer. They have a very young manager as well. Is it fair to expect moments like this, nights like this, given this change for Newcastle?

33:38Yeah, it's not a surprise. I don't think most teams other than the very, very top ones can have a night like this in the Premier League because teams are capable of blowing your way like Leeds did in the first half. I like what he's saying there. no excuses got to use it as a learning opportunity now and let's see how he and his young team react in the next game but he's not making excuses he's not hiding behind anything it sounds like a bit of a cliche Rob but can you actually learn more on nights like this sometimes well you won't sleep so you're on the however they're getting back he's looking at it straight away now so you'll be watching it and watching it and watching it so you'll be able to get it out of the system quite quickly with the players and try and almost yeah learn from it put it to bed and be looking forward to the next game as well.

34:20But there'll be some key things. He talked about the physicality there, but he said there's one or two other things as well, which is obviously going to keep in-house and deal with the players from a tactical point of view, I would have thought. So lots of work to do now between now and the next game. But it forces, I think, a defeat sometimes forces you into really looking deep inside you and going, OK, it was the brutal honesty here. We've made some mistakes. Let's learn and get better. Reality check, do you think? Yeah, a little bit, because it was never going to be easy this season for Newcastle.

34:47and what we saw tonight they were probably fearing first game of the season against Liverpool you know and then you've got Tottenham away as well your next game so they've made a really good start Newcastle considering what happened in the summer change of manager bringing young players in who don't know the Premier League when you think of the results they've got they'd have taken that but because that's just happened tonight and you've lost 4-0 and the cameras are there and all Newcastle fans are watching at home to be bitterly disappointed but yeah but listen they've got to dust themselves down But unfortunately for them, I think there will be more nights like that this season because that's the nature of a young manager coming in with a young team.

35:25And at times, like what happened tonight, losing 4-1 away from home will happen because, as I said, the physicality in the Premier League and when you've got young players like that, at times they will find it difficult to cope. Yeah, they've got themselves a consolation, but it won't really feel like that, will it? But Leeds will do that to a few teams this season. You feel very strong tonight and an exciting season ahead for them. and potentially for one or two of the new boys. That's what we're going to have a look at next through the prism of Rob Edwards' expertise. Do stay with us.

Now let's get more reaction to today's game on the Sky Sports Premier League podcast.

37:07Welcome back to Monday Night Football. We're talking now about the battle to beat the drop and focusing on the three promoted sides who've made different starts. Hull City, magnificent so far. And on this list is amongst the best starts we've seen by promoted sides. Eight points on the board from their first four games. And this was the team I think everyone was writing off before a ball was kicked because of the way they got to the Premier League, because they weren't that impressive in the championship last season. Did you see this coming, Rob? No, in all honesty. well done to them. They've been incredible.

37:41Obviously, it is early days, but the fact now that they've taken points off Manchester United and Chelsea away as well now and the consistency that they're showing, the stubbornness that they're showing without the ball and in terms of giving up chances, and they are creating chances as well the way they do it. It's almost because of the way they got promoted. They're not having to change as much as maybe some of the other teams when they have gone up. And it could suit them. Direct? Yeah, but fast attacks, playing to their strengths. Olly McBurnie there, we just talked about it with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, you know, just bumping and being strong.

38:15I know Ryan Giles really well and I've worked with him a number of times. It's great to see him doing so well and playing to his strengths. He's brilliant at delivering crosses and especially on the run as well. So he's involved in a goal, in creating a chance, the corner that leads to the next goal. Is this interesting here, Rob, in terms of Chelsea's tactic? We highlighted this against Arsenal where they put four up. and you know I just think sometimes you put four up that means they've got to bring players back but I almost think the man marking situation in the boxing there's so much more space for the attacking player to move because I sometimes think when you're in an attacking corner there's that many bodies there it's hard to actually get a run or actually move I mean what's your thoughts on that actual set up well you're always going to give something away first of all whatever you do you bring everyone back then you might be giving up people to say why can't you leave one up and try and take another player back or give us a counter-attacking threat they obviously feel it's the best opportunity to free up more space in the box to maybe there's numbers that will suggest this as well from that point of view but take some of the bigger threats out trusting the players the big you know the the big defenders to be able to do their job and then deal with it with that first contact and then give them a huge counter-attacking threat as well with the players that they're leaving up but the one thing they have give up you mentioned you've got to give something up edge of the box definitely so they'll talk about that and they'll work on it And I'll say, look, if anything comes out, a bit like what we were talking about with the long throw and then dropping out to that position, who's getting out there quick to be able to close it down?

39:40It's going to be the nearest man throwing themselves in front of it. But obviously, yeah, they're not able to they're not able to affect it. And obviously, it's a brilliant goal from Hull's perspective, getting the first contact, first of all, and then following it in. But you're going to give you're going to give something away. It wasn't just that, though, was it? I mean, this is Chelsea playing at home, a Chelsea team that has been so expensively assembled that people have been talking about as possible title contenders. How much confidence will they take from this? Loads, loads. We went there early in the season as well with Luton and it was a difficult night for us.

40:10We lost 3-0. At home, it was a different game. We lost 3-2 and we really gave it to them. But to do this away from home, a newly promoted team, and like I said, a team that's not necessarily going to have loads and loads of the ball, but they are effective when they do win it back. Here he is now on the run. That is him. That is Gilo at his best on the run. What a chance to win the game. It's an amazing chance. A great cross. Again, arriving with good numbers in the box as well, showing real intent. Not just sitting back for the draw as well. They've got to try and win. He's a character as well.

40:43And there's Ryan Giles. Top of open play crosses this season by some distance as well. We were thinking about your Luton team that you came up with and looking at the way that Hull City came up as well. You talked about the pace of getting forward, the physicality at the top of the pitch, winning those duels, but also the quality from that same position of the pitch. You had Ryan Giles, but also Alfie Doughty. We did. We were slightly different. I think they were really good on the counter-attack last year in getting success. We were different. We would really press teams. We would play fast and direct football, but we would smother teams and try and keep the ball as far away from the goal as possible, whether the opposition had it or whether we had it.

41:21And we create chances with, yeah, width, crosses, numbers in the box. They were really good at counterattacking. It suits Gilo down to the ground. That was why we brought him to the Premier League. His athleticism, the stuff that we're seeing there, that's what we were expecting from him. Alfie stepped up and obviously we had the two of them to go, you know, go to war and go toe-to-toe and almost the best man will play. And Alfie did great that year. And Gilo would have been frustrated. He didn't play as much, but he's matured again. He's learnt again. He's gone to Hull, done really, really well.

41:50And now he's doing it in the Premier League where he's always wanted to be. But they're playing to his strength. He's really quick. And on the run, that cross that he's got when he gets it right is really, really dangerous. I heard this theory that Hull City, it's different for them than it is for Ipswich Town and for Coventry. And Coventry, a bit like sort of Leeds the previous season getting almost 100 points. Whereas Hull City, it was through the playoffs. They knew they had a lot to do. And they, I think you said it before, they're almost playing the same way as they were in the championship.

42:21Yeah, I think that same message that the manager will be giving them will help. The same style and same way of playing. Clearly, it's getting results at the moment. So they'll have total buying and belief from the players. But they're not then having to search for a different way. Whereas I felt this as well with Luton. Possibly, I'm not saying he will because I'm not them. but Frank Lampard might be having to figure out a different way because they were so dominant, really, Coventry last year. Maybe like Burnley were the year that we got promoted with Luton as well. It's so different and so much harder in the Premier League.

42:57Maybe that style suits home more. A possession-based team who dominate games to basically being out of possession, maybe having to defend a lot of teams. More so, Jamie, definitely. I mean, Coventry were really, I thought they were really intelligent last year as well because they mixed the game up well. They weren't a team that just dominated every game. They would play forward quickly as well and utilise their strengths. You know, they didn't have to have more of the ball to win games. I thought they were really good. They could build and control the game, but they could hit you quickly and get the ball forward quickly, fast attacks with quality as well.

43:24So they could play a number of different ways. Look, they've had difficult games as well, Coventry. You know, they have played Arsenal, they've played City. I watched them closely against City as well, and they had three big chances. It could have been different. On a different day, it could have been different. But it's not quite gone their way at the moment, where it has gone holes. So they've got the belief, they've got that buoyancy and energy around them at the moment. Now, Frank Lampard will be working really hard with his staff to keep the belief and the motivation in the players because they will be doing a lot of good things.

43:51They are doing a lot of good things. They did great things last year as well. And it took us to the fifth game to get our first result with Luton. And, you know, why not? Why not for them? It will come. there's also that balance isn't there between loyalty to the group that got you there and thinking we've got to be ready and equipped for the premier league has that been easier in some respects for Gary O 'Neill at Ipswich Town because he doesn't really have any loyalty to the players that got Ipswich promoted because he's just he's just come in in the summer he's new in I mean yeah another one Gary's that you know they've had a great start and he's doing really really well in the short period of time that he's been in.

44:31Obviously had a pre-season to work with the players. But you're right. You're right. But again, for belief, two victories early on. It's just a late win as well now. They'll be feeling so much confidence from this. But I watched them again as well against Liverpool and I thought, all right, they lost the game 2-0. But after that first 10 minutes where they were a couple of goals down, I thought they played very, very well as well. Gary knows the Premier League well now. He's He's done a good number of games in the league. So he's got a real good understanding of what will get results. You know, he's done it before with Wolves and Bournemouth and keeping them in the Premier League and more with Wolves.

45:08And they've got a couple of goal scorers. They have. Yeah, they have. They've got a threat there. That was canny, wasn't it, from Fleming? Yeah, he could be a really good bit of business. I think he's, again, another one, a handful, a bit more of an old school sort of likes to use his body and be a bit of someone to play off. but he did really well last year, obviously in a difficult year for Burnley. So I think you're right. I think you hit the nail on the head there. Gary will be able to now, he comes in with fresh eyes, real clear, this is what I want to be able to do. I know what gets success in terms of staying in the league for a newly promoted team.

45:47But yeah, you won't be feeling that loyalty like maybe other managers will do when they have taken a team up. So two brilliant starts in terms of points from Ipswich and they should feel very, very hopeful about the season ahead now. It's so hard to get six or eight points. It can take six, eight, ten weeks at times. Well, 100%. And that will make Frank Lampard and Coventry feel even worse, won't it, Jamie? Will there come a point, do you think, where he almost goes, OK, I've tried it with the ones who've got me promoted and now I'm going to start afresh. I'm not sure they have that many options, actually.

46:21Listen, you see that he looks really poor, but this was a game where anybody could have got the first goal here and let's not forget they're coming up against a really top Premier League team in Brighton they're a really good outfit and the fact that they never took their chance were probably not quite clinical enough meant that they go 1-0 down and then this just takes the game away from them I think there was a chance as well just before this in the second half we've seen some chances Coventry had in the first half but they had one I think very early in the second half as well round the edge of the box and then listen the game just gets away from them And, OK, I think it's Bobby Thomas makes a poor challenge there, but then a couple of the goals are too, you know, great goal.

46:59I mean, Lewis Dunks score another goal. You do get punished, you know, you do get punished at this level more so than the championship. But they are creating chances. I know they haven't scored yet, but they are creating chances. I mean, three brilliant ones last week at the Etihad. I mean, that doesn't happen really in the championship. So when you're a Coventry player and it feels like everything the opposition hits is hitting the back of your net, How do you, as the boss, manage to keep everyone's heads up and keep trying to convince them and give them that belief? You remind them how well they've done in the first place.

47:28And, all right, you've lost. And everyone looks at the result these days and they think, oh, he's doing great or he's failing. It's not that. You can get promoted and be a brilliant manager. And all of a sudden then you lose a few games in the Premier League and you're getting judged against Mikel's Arsenal now or other teams like that. And all of a sudden now it's not that they're competing well. I know the other day the scoreline didn't suggest that but you know it can happen as we've just alluded to in the Premier League they competed really well against Arsenal and Manchester City it'll remind them of the performances it'll remind them of how well they've done before and they will be looking at little tweaks all the time now whether that is a new player that's coming in or whether that's something tactical they want to shift or they need to get better on some of the basics or you know whether that's set plays or we need to play forward a bit quicker or whatever it might be he'll be looking at that little edge that they can that they can get we had to change at Luton after about 12 games we had a game at Brentford where we were too passive and I didn't really like us and then after that I thought right we've got to be we've got to be us here if we're going to go down we've got to go down swinging and giving everything so against Arsenal in the next game right we are total man for man we're going to show the best side of us and go for it and that was a bit of a a bit of a Luton 2.0 if you like so we had to adapt and evolve how did the The players received that.

48:42Yeah, they loved it because it was positive. And it was me saying, look, I don't care if it's Arsenal, we're going to go for them, you know? And it was at home and Kenilworth Road is obviously a little bit different. But we used that to our advantage. And then they'll be looking for that. They'll be looking for that. The fans will be totally with them. They'll love Frank Lampard for what he's given them. They're a great atmosphere. They'll love him for what he's given them. He'll have the players right there still because of what he's given those lads as well in terms of promotion, playing in the Premier League.

49:08And the new ones that have come in will love him as well because of the opportunities giving them the chance that they've got now. So he'll have the players right there. And him and his staff are really, really good. And they'll know there's areas that we can improve on. And obviously, whether that's giving one or two chances away that they wouldn't have done before, or how they're going to try and exploit the opposition team in different ways. Can I ask you something? I sometimes think when you come up as a promoted team or as a manager, you're used to winning. You've almost got to get used to losing in some ways.

49:36and then almost every promoter team will go on a run at some stage in the season where you don't win for seven or eight games or something. I mean, what's it like as a manager? Yes, it's disappointing. You've never had that, have you? No, but the points you're trying to make is, do you almost have that feeling that you think, you can't see yourself winning another game? You don't know how you're going to win a game in football. I think with two different experiences, the two experiences I've had in the Premier League have been quite different, actually. Luton getting up and the expectation was really, let's be honest, was low.

50:07And so it was almost a little bit more of a shot to nothing. And we could go and be brave and go and be us. And I know this sounds silly to people listening. I might think, what is he on about? But competing, maybe losing 3-2 against Chelsea or losing 3-2 against Villa, 4-3 against Arsenal, going up to Newcastle and drawing 4-0. That's like a win for what we are and how we're performing and competing against these top, top teams and managers and players. So the players take a lot from that. And we've got to then, all right, yeah, we try and show the things we improve that we need to improve but lads you're doing so well you know and and really really try and be as positive as possible which i'm sure frank and joe edwards and all of his staff and that they'll be doing now um so you can go a period of time and if look if it goes on and on and on and on and on then all right there's there's there's questions with wolves it was different when we first came in there was you know we arrived and it was difficult you know two points from 11 games and And it took some time then to try and get it to where we wanted to become competitive.

51:08And that bit's hard because it was different. We hadn't taken the group up. We've inherited a group that's low at the moment. And that one was a different challenge again, which we knew it was going to be really difficult going in. And that bit was probably a little bit tougher. But we knew why we were there. We were there because we're in a difficult spot. So consistent messages, you know, making sure that you get the training right, the meetings right, and the energy needs to be good. And if my energy drops, then I've seen it towards the end of the loop and I know then that can affect the whole group as well.

51:41So my energy, our energy as the head coach, as the manager, everyone's looking at you. It needs to be right. That belief, when we stand in front of that group of players, has to be there. I have to believe totally that we can go and win. We can go to the Etihad, we can go to Anfield, we can go and win. And then you can see the nods from the players in the meetings and you can see it when you go out on the training pitch. What happens if you see the shakes? time's close bye lads Compton have had a really tough start haven't they with that whole game in the middle which will feel like one that got away but again Brighton such an impressive Premier League team they are becoming consistently year upon year and they are the League of Nations as well thanks to Bill Edgar a Times contributor for pointing this one out for us 15 nationalities taking the field for Brighton this weekend, which is quite something, isn't it?

52:35So you start to think, Rob, you know, how are you doing the team talk here for a start? Yeah, it is interesting. I mean, the majority of the lads, I'm sure, will speak English, I'm sure. Did you make that a rule in your dressing rooms, even at Wolves, where there'd been a big, I suppose, Portuguese influence? No, I think it was something that we would want, but at the same time, it's almost inevitable, especially when they're having some lunch or they've got their own time, that they congregate together. some of the boys are from the same parts of the world and they might try and speak in their native tongue.

53:06I think what was key for us at Wolves was I had a brilliant group of staff that I was working with but brought Rui Silver in who was um it would work with Nuno previously and is back with Nuno at West Ham now but was was able to help us with some of those language barriers. I think it's really if you've got those blanks you know if I've got those blanks then I'm not speaking three or four languages to try and fill that in the staff as well so that really helped us with maybe some of the Brazilians and different nationalities that we had. But yeah, that is interesting there. But Fabian, I'm sure, has got a few languages in the locker and I'm sure that most of those lads will speak English.

53:41But it does make you wonder if more Premier League sides are collecting these multinational groups of players, why anyone would need or want an English-speaking British manager? It's something that we've got to look at as well and try and get back to school. how's that going Rob it's been a pleasure having you with us thank you so much and a really interesting insight into the challenges facing those three newly promoted sides on their travails so far the football keeps on coming this week on Sky Sports because the Carabao Cup continues into round three and we've got three nights of it coming your way busy on Tuesday tomorrow night Liverpool Spurs There's Ipswich Arsenal, also Peterborough, Barnsley, West Ham, Fulham and Reading taking on Brentford.
