Micheal Oliver sigh ?

If Bale starts we win 3-1

Nervous about this one. I think it's great that we're getting to see a front 4 of Bale, Dele, Son and Kane but Leeds know how to go the other way. Against City we sacrificed some players in order to play a team who worked hard and so we need to strike the balance. The hope would be that we can keep the same team and they do the work defensively and show their quality uptop.

Big game now and this is usually where the wheels fall of, Leeds can be got at though there’s weaknesses in their team and bielsa’s teams normally always tire towards the end of seasons.

Reguillon needs a good game to shut down Raphina.

I am torn thinking we should go 3-5-2 as always tend to struggle when we don’t match teams up who play 3 at the back.


But they may be without Phillips & Raphina if so there's no excuse

Would be typical to see that Rodrigo have a stormed as he's been shit this year.

Expecting them to try and overload on our full backs and whip low hard balls across the face

 

[JCRD]

So ive not really concentrated on the league much but everyone seems to be getting excited so the quetsion is - is this like a must win?

They're ALL must wins until the end of the season.

Nope don't change shape. Go as we are and they should be SHITTING themselves coming up against Bale, Kane and Son.

 

[rossdapep]

I think we should start the way we did vs Sheff Utd.

The beauty of playing the way we are is that we can change things with Ndombele and Bergwijn on the bench and approach differently.

Something Jose never did once.

I think he’ll go with the same team but i’d actually think about bergwijn & ndombele from the start and playing Bale centrally in the AM3. Think that could really carve them open with that pace on the counter.

 

[Ndombers]

If Bale starts we win 3-1

If he doesn't he's a fucking idiot

 

[Ndombers]

Just think if we'd have played him all season (and in the final)

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

As long as bale and Kane start and sissoko doesn't I'm a happy man.

Probably the first time in a while I'm actually looking forward to a spurs game.

The team picks itself apart from Dele, and even then I'm not really fussed if it's Dele, Lucas, ndombele, Bergwijn or lamela I'd play any of them tbh.

The key with Leeds is similar to Southampton, we get through the first 25 unscathed and we'll be fine.

Micheal Oliver sigh ?

I was really looking forward to this game, but now it seems ruined.
Am I over-reacting?

Recently Micheal Oliver made up a penalty for Everton, when James fell over with little contact.
He gave a penalty to the scum when laca-skill kicked sanchez.
But he has reffed us loads of times, and I can't remember him cheating us that openly before...

(Well other than him making the worst var decision ever, ruling out kane's goal against sheffield utd, after Moura was hacked down.)

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Morning turds!

A few weeks ago missing the last 15 minutes of a game felt like an act of mercy. Today I’ve got to pick my daughter up at 2, and I’m already feeling embittered about it. Things move fast

 

[cider spurs]

No doubting we need the 3 points to stay in the hunt for top 4, but this is certainly going to be a test.

Premier league wise, Leeds have already drawn at home with Man City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.

It could be argued that some of the aforementioned teams maybe haven't been firing on all cylinders this season, but let's not kid ourselves, we've hardly excelled at times ourselves.

At least there might be signs that Mason is prepared to utilise our attacking element more, and on this basis, although a tough ask, I'm thinking we snaffle the 3 points and go marching on.

COYS!

 

[Qualsonic]

If Bale starts we win 3-1

Are you the one who wrote if Bale starts we win 4-0 last week?

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Don’t play Winks

that last one you mentioned was criminal ?.

 

[Dannyspur]

This may well be a high scoring game, which could go either way - I am going for 3-2 to us.
