Macca being dropped is fucking huge btw.

Highly mobile direct right side

 

[dee]

Wirtz or Tekkers on the left?

 

[Frogfish]

Good team. Looking forward to this (famous last words).

3-1 (Eki, Wirtz & Konate)

 

[Frogfish]

Wirtz or Tekkers on the left?

Got to be Wirtz. Didn't he play there last game? Eki is CF. Though they swapped often if I'm remembering correcting.

 

[Hansern]

Good team that. Let’s hope we turn up and perform.

 

[dee]

For Leeds, Daniel Farke makes four changes from their draw at Sunderland as Dominic Calvert-Lewin drops to the bench. Lukas Nmecha starts up top.

Leeds XI: Perri, Justin, Bornauw, Bijol, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Aaronson, Ampadu, Gruev, Stach, Okafor

 

[Red Mullet]

Good team!

Now for a statement win!




Soz to the footballing gods for any jinxing

 

[Buddha]

We’re starting the year in pacy, attacking style. 4-1 or 5-1

 

[Farkmaster]

Any win please. I'm bringing in the new year with covid and diarrhea.

 

[FreshRed]

Surprised to see DCL on the bench. And, happy about it.

 

[dee]

He’s not renown for longevity

 

[King Binny]

This is my only fear today

[Shadey]

Looking forward to this one chaps.

 

[Shay_K]

Looking forward to this one chaps.

Me too, hOla from Fuerteventura

 

[Hansern]

I love Alisson but his passing is horrendous at times

 

[mom]

3-4

Viduka to score a hatrick

 

[Squiggles]

Nervous about this one. Leeds set piece record versus ours is enough reason to be, but there's the fact we struggle against 3-5-2 formations. Leeds also won't give up fighting until the final whistle, which is energy and fight we've been lacking over ninety minutes all year.

If we take our chances it'll be fine, but there's evidence to suggest it's got all the hallmarks of more dropped points.

 

[FreshRed]

Outplayed so far

 

[FreshRed]

Better. All of our best play starts with a good press, but we choose to press so rarely.

 

[Shay_K]

Outplayed so far

WOT?

 

[Markeh]

that’sa great challenge

 

[FreshRed]

How is that not a penalty. If he goes down, it is stonewall.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Not sure how that's not a penalty other than that Ekitike didn't go to ground.

 

[Farkmaster]

It's an obvious pen.

 

[Markeh]

maybe we’re only going to look like a good side in even years under slot

 

[FreshRed]

Interesting how when Wirtz dribbles, it makes sense, but Jones does, it just slows us down.

 

[FreshRed]

Definitely looking much better after poor start. Bradley with 3rd poor touch, though.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Interesting how when Wirtz dribbles, it makes sense, but Jones does, it just slows us down.

Think that's harsh on Jones tbh. At least today so far.

 

[FreshRed]

Think that's harsh on Jones tbh. At least today so far.

Agreed. He’s been moving the ball better today. Had a brain fart early, but fine since.
