To celebrate Leeds United lifting the Championship trophy tonight here's my season review and rating for every first-team player in squad number order.

THREAD:

#LUFC #MOT #ALAW
1 Ilan Meslier

Came into the team at a crucial stage of the season and the gangly French robo-keeper added calmness and composure to our defence. Voice is lower than Hull's league position. Better distribution than DPD. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
2 Luke Ayling

A leader, a legend and a brilliant player with workrate, desire and skill for days. Scored an insane goal Bruce Lee would have been proud of and did a wicked air guitar celebration. Best top-knot in the world. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
3 Barry Douglas

Didn't play loads of minutes but was classy when he did. Sweet left-foot and outrageous wardrobe. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
4 Adam Forshaw

More injuries than The Smiler at Alton Towers, but when he played he added balance and control to the midfield. Correctly predicted we'd romp the league. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
5 Ben White

Majestic, imperious, beautiful and stoic. A titan. Possibly the best of Leeds United's 30000 loans unless Brighton are reading this in which case he's dogshit. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
6 Liam Cooper

A true leader who put it all on the line. Led by example with excellent display after excellent display. Our captain, our leader, our pal. Will lift the Championship trophy tonight after being promoted as champion.

10/10
7 Ian Poveda

New signing with bags of potential, made some good cameos in the last few games and absolutely took the piss out of Derby at Pride Park. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
9 Patrick Bamford

Worked his arse off for the team, wound up opposition fans wherever he went and scored some wonderful goals. Missed a few sitters to keep the league interesting. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
10 Gjanni Alioski

A lunatic Duracell bunny with the energy of a toddler snorting crushed blue smarties. A tireless worker and and team-player with more than a bit of skill. Annoying as fuck to play against. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
11 Tyler Roberts

A brilliant talent with flair and drive. Scored some crucial goals and slotted into midfield well when required. So young he probably plays minecraft when he's not banging them in for Leeds. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
13 Kiko Casilla

A calamitous Spanish straw-donkey with jelly for hands and shit for brains. Dropped multiple crosses and at least one N-bomb. Ruined Pablo's song by being in it.

0/10
15 Stuart Dallas

Been in more positions than your mum. Jack of all trades, master of all. Cafu is now known as the Itaquaquecetuba Dallas. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
17 Helder Costa

Tricky winger with loads of energy and a plenty more potential to come. Excellent when driving at defences and humble enough not to get greedy with goalscoring by mostly refusing to do it. Lovely hair and cute face. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
19 Pablo Hernandez

Bielsa is God, Pablo is Jesus. Dragged us over the line with some biblically epic performances. Makes Lionel Messi look like Luke Varney. A living deity and the only magician I don't want to punch in the face. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
22 Jack Harrison

Works harder than a child in a Primark sweatshop. Tireless energy, a first-touch like being fingered by Jesus and goes down less often than DJ Khaled. Most improved player. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
23 Kalvin Phillips

So classy he should play in a three-piece suit. A fan on the pitch. Puts in tackles harder than a cryptic crossword and sprays passes about like they're champagne at a promotion party (which he will be attending). Got promoted as champion.

10/10
28 Gaetano Berardi

Tougher than the end slice of a beef joint. Hard as nails and class wherever he's played. Literally gave one of his legs to get us promoted. Official Head of Vibes at Elland Road. A legend. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
29 Jean-Kevin Augustin

Did absolutely fuck all. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
34 Pascal Struijk

Shitshow of an appearance against Cardiff then worked double-hard to come back strong for the end of the season. Calmed the team in the Barnsley game that got us over the line and is the only Leeds player taller than 5'3". Got promoted as champion.

10/10
40 Leif Davis

Limited game time but always looked comfortable when he did play. Bielsa thinks he is VERY GOOD so I do too. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
43 Mateusz Klich

The hardest working hipster since the Cereal Cafe's PR guy. Runs like Forest Gump and shoots like the US police at a peaceful protest. A constant in our midfield and in the heads of our opponents. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
46 Jamie Shackleton

A tiny dynamo who's faster than Mason Bennett driving home from the pub. Broke the spirit of tired defences by running at 300mph in the 96th minute. A big talent for the future. Got promoted as champion.

10/10
48 Jordan Stevens

Came on a couple of times late into games and I don't really remember what he did but it must have been excellent because he was promoted as champion.

10/10
Marcelo Bielsa

Is God. The greatest, kindest, most honest human being on earth. Changed the culture of the club, the city and every one of us. Made Leeds United play like the Royal Philharmonic. A true one-off and legend who we are blessed to have with us.
