Have seen a lot of Leeds this year. In my opinion…
- they don’t play with a number 9. Rutter starts there but drops deep once kicked off to drag centres backs with him. This may mean we stick with Vestergaad, he would hold his position deep rather than following. His pace worries me, but clearly confident at the moment
- Piroe plays in the 10, rather than number 9 which I thought he was
- so much pace from Rutter, James and Summerville. We will need to track these
- their fullbacks are woeful and main weakness to the team. Mavididi should have a good go at Ayling
- Djed Spence would be much stronger option, but looks like Friday too soon for him to be back
They play direct as we did when we won the Premier league. Play on the counter with pace. We should press them all over from the off.
A great game awaits - 2-2 for me.
