somebum Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Don't understand Huddersfield the German lad there is doing a good job and building good side. I think tactically he is more astute than Shakes but we have more quality in our side ... if our players perform and Shakes gets it reasonably right we will do them over but as I say we can't underestimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you said understand. Personally I think a quick goal for us and we'll bin them by 3 or more otherwise we'll just beat them professionally.

As long as he isn't a Huddersfield fan I can't see it having a negative impact on us. Say he's a Leeds Utd supporter, they hate Huddersfield Town. Either way these factors are very minor and shouldn't impact on his professionalism. Still, he's a poor referee and I'd be happy to avoid him for the rest of the season He lives in Horsforth which is 18 miles away. Therefore he's affiliated to the same County FA to which Huddersfield Town are. Hence you'd think they would avoid using Moss for Huddersfield, if only on accusation. The accusation will be there and it just makes commonsense for the PGMO to avoid it. I just consider it odd that they want to potentially court publicity - especially after the Kevin Friend/Spurs debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought you weren't allowed to referee where you're affiliated to? Which is why Friend doesn't ref us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's from Horsforth, Leeds, he may be registered with a different County FA? Could the rules be relaxed if it's clear he has no other affiliation (other than being registered with West Riding County FA) to Huddersfield Town? There has to be a reason he can referee them.

Ian Nacho Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Seems silly to be dishing around the 'must win' term this early in the season, however, considering the start we've had it's important to get 3 more points on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Win: "Shakespeare is a world-class coach." etc Draw: Same opinion as now. Loss: "Out of his depth." etc This game could go either way, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fox Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Tough Tough game - if we underestimate these we could be in for a rude awakening. They close down and work really hard so hopefully Shakey has the boys ready for the intensity and pace they will start at. Personally would change to a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 but fully expect a 4-4-2 with Oka in for Slim and no other changes although Iborra will be on the bench.....take a point now if offered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie1999 Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Think we'll lose as it appears every game we play is so predictable and they'll be up for it. If we resort to sitting back and trying to pump balls over the top against Huddersfield, we're fvcked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr The Singh Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Were good enough to win this, however it won't be easy and probably be a very scrappy game.

Premierfox Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 I'd love to see this if fit after the u23's game; Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Maguire Fuchs Mahrez Ndidi Iborra Gray Vardy Iheanacho James and Slim are way too slow to react to anything to be classed as first 11 in a prem team unfortunately IMO, we need to get to the ball first....

the fox Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 Gray needs to start! Giving time against teams outside the top 6 should allow him to show what he can do! The fullbacks/CMs aren't offering much going forward so why should the wingers offer so much defensively! This is getting on my nerves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 12 September 2017 Share Posted 12 September 2017 After losing to Wesht Sham their confidence will be punctured but they'll want to bounce back. Got a feeling we can win this, but don't think it will be at all easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would do well against Huddersfield, however I feel Mahrez is well over due a performance and could run riot against these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfox66 Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 If Shakespeare seriously thinks we should be aiming for European football then nothing less than a win on Saturday is good enough, the results so far shouldn't be surprised other than how close the scores were against Chelsea and Arsenal and we weren't hammered by Manchester United, so on reflection we made a promising start to the season and a win on Saturday would be what I'd be playing for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 Moss should never be allowed on a football pitch again. The words "incompetent" and "liability" don't even begin to describe how bad he is. This will be an extremely difficult game to turn over Huddersfield in with him in charge. The job just became much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 Tactically they're a very decent team and we need to use all our experience at his level to disrupt their game plan. I think we'll win 2-1. No idea what our best team is. No idea if we should stick with 4-4-2 or go 3-4-1-2 but we are usually ok in matches like this.

Shakey hasn't missed the poor production we've received from the midfield, glad to hear he is moving quickly to address it. Matty James needs to keep adding to his game, and I expect he'll improve a fair bit being back in the prem. But if healthy, Iborra is more experienced with defensive positioning, more cynical re committing himself unnecessarily, calm on the ball, an accurate passer, and a leader for Ndidi to look to. I expect they will make an excellent pairing, and I also expect to see Iborra get forward from time to time, pick his spots to play AM for 30 seconds here and there, he can come forward enough to look to play Vardy, Shinji, Riyad, and Gray into dangerous positions on the pitch without much risk of being overtaken by the counterattack. Looking forward to this game. Would still allow Shinji to start, but would look to get Iheanacho in earlier than usual, try to give him a good 30 minutes.
