Leeds (A) pre match thread

[trooky]

We've been fantastic all season, would have won the Boro match 5-2 if we could finish on the day yet everyone on here is convinced we're getting hammered.

 

Not sure what's wrong with our fanbase. We must have the most negative support in the country.

[Rossiter]

Start with JV. He'll relish this one. Last two games he's looked sharp imo.

Not from a few yards out he hasn’t!  Wonder if those huge  misses get to him at this stage of his career ???

Doubt it seeing as he scored soon after 

[Guest ChrisWalken456]

I think we’ll turn up and shock them with a 1-4 win. We need to show why we’ve been top all season.

[Rossiter]

It's going to be an intriguing game. They'll come at us so there will be spaces to exploit. 2-2 

[ARTY_FOX]

We're better than them. Play our game and we win comfortably. 

[Mike Oxlong]

It will be interesting to see after the Southampton game how we have done in the games in a mini league with Leeds, Ipswich and Southampton. Two of these will most likely be among the weaker teams we play next season 

[jayfox26]

They are in great form and have been hammering teams. Just hope we defend better than yesterday or it could get ugly. Many on here seem very confident we'll beat them. They haven't lost a game at home this season and have just won 8 in a row. I'd take a draw, which would definitely suit us more than them. They have to win. A draw is fine for us.

Other than that counter attacking masterpiece vs Southampton away we’ve really struggled to beat the top 6…. I think we should set up kinda how Middlesbrough did yesterday and try to cream them on the counter, we’ve got the personnel for it

Thing is, if we did this, I’d be more confident. However, we know how we will play, so will Leeds…. Which is all well and good when you’re Man City, but we aren’t. I just fear we will walk straight into Leeds arms wide open, and they will just pick us off with ease. It’s a real test, if we win, I’ll be stunned and happily say we will comfortably finish top, lose, and the door opens a bit more for Leeds and Southampton.

I do think Enzo has Kompany vibes….. plan A is the only way regardless of opposition

I think he’s better than Kompany. 
 

There is only one way of playing, and theoretically over the course of a whole season it will win you more than you loser usually because the lesser teams won’t have the answers to the questions being asked of the style. But, as Man City find from time to time, get it wrong, and you can get battered.

 

It just means that you won’t change, regardless, and the thing with Leeds is they’ve got so much pace and power upfront, that it will cause us a lot of problems. How often has our defence actually been tested? Not really all that much, there’s no doubt that with the pace Leeds have, they will cause us no end of problems. 
 

But this is where like you suggest, the manager needs to think, he needs to out think Farke, not try to out play. 

[Legend_in_blue]

If he can't out think Farke, I worry for next season. 

 

[Number 6]

They've really sorted out their defence on this run, only conceding 1 goal is really impressive and we've now conceded as many goals as they have this season.

Would everyone kick off if we did a Dean Smith vs Newcastle last season and play for a 0-0? I’d take it but wonder what could have been had we gone for it… with 5 subs you can change it in game 

[AjcW]

Watching this with a Leeds fan, in Nottingham… so that’ll be fun  

[VictorFox]

Still a long way to go regardless of if we win, lose or draw. But I think for confidence reasons it’s a must not lose

What in the last 30 odd games gives you the impression an Enzo side can play for a 0-0?  

[justfoxes]

Couldn’t get a ticket to this one would love to have gone but I’ll be watching at the pub with a mate who’s a Leeds fan, just need to sort out our finishing at times against borough could have been 5 or 6 but not for the finishing hoping the lads are sharp Friday do us proud and beat these buggers !!

[whoareyaaa]

Biggest test of the season

[Swarles Barkley]

A chance to show we’re not flat track bullies and deserve to be called best team in the league. This game will tell us alot in terms of where we are at

I won’t be able to cope with the bed wetters on here if we lose this and still only have a six point lead at the top 

I imagine sales in Leicestershire will boom over the course of the week. 
 

 

[Happy Fox]

It’s going to be tough, hopefully we can quiet down their crowd with an early goal. I would take a draw, cannot afford to lose this game.
