Pliskin Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 We will **** them up again. They can't defend and they insist on throwing everyone forward bar the goal keeper. They will leave space in behind for Barnes and Under to exploit. I'd play kalechi for this one too, we could easily turn this lot over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talking_goldfish Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 Far too much positivity on this forum which hardly ever results in a win! Think this will be a lot tougher than last time, Leeds (on their day) are an excellent team who will press, press, press til the cows come home. They have the best pressing stats for the defensive third, middle third and final third - that's just insane! You would assume therefore that this would be the game where Vardy gets back on his game and gets a goa.. oh. If we catch them on a good day then we'll have to be right at the top of our game and without Ndidi Mnsr Mendy will need to play out of his skin. I don't think we should start Under as we'll need a bit more defensive clout so would start Albrighton for this, but will hopefully see Cengiz in the second half to open them up a bit. Whoever said their keeper is no good is just wrong, Meslier is a top, top keeper but he's young so does make a few mistakes. Some of his saves though are top drawer. Having said all that we're going to win 10-0 with everyone scoring bar Kasper (who has a goal wrongly awarded to Nacho in the 93rd minute).

maddisonenthusiast Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 Big Game, we just need to play like we played them away and we'll be fine. We should get a lot of space in behind, Barnes should be able to exploit the space well. Looking forward to it. 2-0 Leicester Barnes and Maddison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So gone with 5 changes for this one, although wouldn’t be surprised if Brendan keeps Marc for this one due to Leeds attacking threat and swaps Ünder in for the Fulham game when we’re likely to need to break them down a bit more. But the below is what I’d go for. Schmeichel Ricardo - Evans - Söyüncü - Justin Tielemans - Mendy Ünder - Maddison - Barnes Iheanacho Really like that, I'd star Perez though depending on half time result would bring on Castagne for Ricardo, and Nacho for Perez.

Popular Post Burners Posted 29 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 29 January 2021 (edited) Hi all Leeds fan here. Love watching Leicester what a great team you have with some wonderful players. Think you will be too strong for us but it should be a much closer game than the first encounter. Leeds had no Phillips, Rodrigo or Rafinha (our best 3 players) in the first game who should make a massive difference. Leicester 3 - Leeds 2.

They won't be able to press, press, press against us, otherwise we with absolutely destroy them. The only was to stop us (unless we are being shit) is put in a deep block. Leeds simply won't do this, coupled with the fact they can't defend if we play like we did second half against Everton, it will be a blood bath. We are a nightmare for Leeds, they might huff and puff, may even score a goal, but we will absolutely savage them, they simply can't cope with the way we play. It wasn't Vardy that caused the issues last time anyway, it was out full backs and Barnes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 I'm not as confident as some with this game, I think Leeds have a big win away from home against someone good in them and it hasn't happened yet. They'll give us chances of course, which is encouraging but we struggle when teams put pressure on us sometimes and Mendy in particular is not as good when he's got men running around him. We countered that last time with the 5 at the back but not sure we will this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffolk fox Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 cannot for the life of me understand some posters who like the media rate Leeds so highly? They really are not that good. Their keeper is at best erratic and their defence is woeful. Media and Bielsa love in is a joke. They are capable of scoring however they always give the opposition plenty of chances.....hence why you get scorelines of 4 3, 3, 2 against them. Truth is if we turn up play as we did second half aginst Everton we should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 14 hours ago, Pub breath said: Very young so does make the odd error but he's made something like the third most saves in the league, he's busy and more exposed than most. Thus, he's more likely to make the odd error. Mostly, he's been outstanding and very rarely gets beaten with shots he should save. The errors are usually distribution or command of area errors. Will become one of the best in the world in a few years, it's incredibly rare to be as good as he is at 20. One of the best in the world? You’re having a laugh. Maybe in the same way Bielsa is one of the best managers in the world. There are few worse goal keepers in the Premier League. Third most saves means nothing, most mislead stat - without looking who are the two ahead of him? Sam Johnson and Areola? The teams with the worst defences have keepers who make more saves. If Leeds had a better goalkeeper they would be about 10 points better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 Despite his approach to the game, Bielsa must take quite big credit in taking them to the top-flight again. They, under their previous owner Massimo Cellino (who is dodgy as owners can come), appointed and sacked quite a few people in failing to take them back to this league. *Am sure, as I'm posting this, Bielsa is in his bedroom in a small flat in Leeds somewhere browsing through numerous clips of LCFC's games..
