Match Threads Leeds Vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 35 - KO 12:30

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Do think dele’s movement in particular can cause problems for Leeds’ defensive system.

Not particularly - he will need to have a high work rate today - more so than just off the ball movement. Leeds will be ripe for a lot of counter-attacks on the flanks from Son and Bale - maybe that opens up the middle for a trailing Dele. But, I think they will be tough to break down when they have settled into the defense.

Half an hour before kick-off and my little shit of a 2 year-old decides to throw a water bottle at the TV and fuck up the screen. Fantastic.

really annoys me when you get all the youtube lot, youngers fans clamoring for ndombele to start! WHY!! he's been dog shit for months on end! swear to god, they think if he does a couple of little tricks etc, it makes him the messiah! ffs!

FIFA innit

We could do with bumping up our GD if it's going to be so close with points in 4 games time

Last week he won a ton of 2nd balls. Needs to do that again today.

I think their left side is the biggest weak point - Alioski always looks an absolute liability to me. We really need to target him.

Just saving you the trouble of doing it yourself in a couple of hours

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

Not sure what Rodon did wrong to be dropped from the squad entirely

Exactly my point

Great to see GASH up top again.

Koch is getting fucked

I feel he can drag his marker around a bit to help others, but off the ball out of possession work is just as important as you said.

Well we're certainly going for it with that team.

Looking at that video of Elland Road, ball retention is going to be difficult.

Hoddle & Ferdinand waxing lyrical about Bale is making my willy twitch.

 

[Blackcanary]

Marcelo knows.

Marcelo Bielsa, talking to BT Sport, analyses the difference in Spurs since Jose Mourinho chipped off and Ryan Mason took over. “There are changes in the way they play. Spurs are a team who push more into the opponent’s half and try to manage more of the ball. In any case, given the level of the players, they still generate worry.”

Pitch looks (worryingly) bad.
