The other 3, apart from Perez, would make all but the top 6. So a combined xi would be LCFC and that's it. Doesn't mean you won't best us. We have our entire defence out and we have a big time soft underbelly, even at the best if times. We have numerous first team players out too mate so I'm sure if you're right you'll absolutely wallop us. Incidentally, how much of Koch, Rodrigo, Raphinia and Llorente have you seen to be able to make the assessment you have? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 30 October 2020 Share Posted 30 October 2020 Don’t think we should underestimate Leeds at all, they are a good football side full of confidence and should be respected as such. Considering our injuries and the results we’ve had against footballing sides, I think the low block would be a good move for this one, irrespective of what other fans/media make of it. Especially if it gets the job done. it would be interesting to see what Leeds do against teams that sit back and we will have plenty of time to show how good our team really is once (one day/month/year?!!) we have everyone fit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. I'm concerned we will be totally swamped by them in midfield. We don't have players who respond well to those sides with high energy in your face approaches. Ndidi will be a huge miss for this game. Edited 30 October 2020 by reynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a wider note, I like the way the PL makes teams have to prove themselves. There's absolutely zero respect for championship teams. I recall both wolves and sheff utd giving it the big I am over the last two seasons and we beat both in second gear. We were prob the best team ever to come out of the championship and for 7 of 9 months PL teams shat all over us. Fair play if you do us Monday. You'll have earned it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 30 October 2020 Share Posted 30 October 2020 I know dude. I'm just yanking his chain. Fair play to him. He seems to have based his confidence on some substance.. We'll see. Championship teams - and that's what I consider Leeds - are championship teams until they prove themselves otherwise. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I expected things to be more difficult for us than they have been. No team has had more possession in a game than us yet, including Liverpool and City. Only one team - Liverpool - have had more attempts in a game. We have lost twice but been pretty unlucky in both losses. There may be much tougher times to come at some point but how well we have adapted has surprised me. I didn't expect us to arrive and dominate matches in this way. We may lose on Monday but you'll have been given a game, there will be no easy, comfortable win in the offing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jakemoore Posted 30 October 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 30 October 2020 My god could the Leeds fans get any more arrogant? Yes they’ve had a good start. A very good start actually. But it is just a start. Come back when you’ve been in the Premier League for 7 seasons having won the bloody thing, and qualified for Europe twice and been in the Quarter final of the Champions League. I hate when big clubs with rich histories think they automatically deserve success. No, no, no lads. Success is something you earn. Please Brendan, DON’T let dirty Leeds beat us. We’re better than them when we’re full strength. But we’re a long way off full strength.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. We started well v Everton Stoke and Man Utd and thought we had it sussed. Then we played the streetwise teams (at the time) Palace, Newcastle, Southampton lost all three and all of a sudden the other teams have rumbled you and confidence crumbles. You played man city and Liverpool at good times and a feeble Fulham. I'm not dissing it. But West Ham and Palace and Southampton and Everton and Spurs and Burnley are all absolute cbnts to play against. That'll make or break your season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said is you will know you've been in a game, nowt more. We have key players out too and you have a deeper squad from 7 years of putting it together. It's a fair contest.

Forshaw was starting every game until his injury last season and is still out. Phillips is out. Cooper may be fit but we thought that last game and he never started and Llorente has been injured almost all season. He will certainly be a likely stater eventually but not been here and fit long enough yet. Berardi is fringe but out. You may have more than that but with 7 years to build your depth, I reckon that evens it up pretty well. It's a squad game.

You said regular starters and have now moved it to this season to better help the angle. There are going to be between 2 and 4 players who would be playing in this game if they could who won't be. We will find out for sure on Monday. We had an absolutely horrific injury list last season but still won the league. Injuries and suspensions are part of the game and we have arguably our best/most vital player out. It's a fair fight but it does sort of feel like excuses are being made early here.

I'm just trying to establish exactly who is missing from the team that gave Man City and Fenway RS a good game. Seems that only one so no comparison with your opponents missing their entire back 4 and arguably the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League. Not an excuse, it's a fact.

I wasn't aware the game worked that way. So even though those players were missing in those games too and may/probably would have seen us play better, we can't include them? I don't think I understand this at all tbh. They are either our players and would improve us or they aren't. Surely? Incidentally, Forshaw would be our next choice to move to DM if Phillips gets injured. Having both out is 100% the double blow. I can't see how it makes any difference whatsoever that he got injured last season. We would be much better with him and he isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
