What happened to our inverted full backs strategy? We often saw KW take up that position (effectively IMO) it was prevalent when we played with one deep laying MF but since the two playing deep it's gone.
 
The weather in Leeds is down as 'heavy rain, moderate winds' all day , so it doesn't look like there's gonna be much respite from it ..... you would expect that Elland Road has a half decent drainage system so we might be okay , and there will be no severe weather problems for fans inside or outside the ground , as there just won't be any ..... but yes , constant torrential rain and a badly waterlogged pitch can always convince a referee that it's unsafe and unplayable .... we can only wait and see.

Interesting
Not sure I'd be throwing Ruben into this today. Keep him back.
 
Biesla isn’t interested in parking the bus he likes to play and be open snd attack. Should be good for us, space to play and pound for pound we have 11 better players on the pitch .

good game on the cards .

0-3 city

UP ZE BLUES
 
We are well off our best days but this game should suit us.
It was very interesting to see Bielsa say Guardiola has inadvertantly created a system to beat his sides which is nowadays used extensively against any team looking to dominate. Even though he said this I don't expect Leeds to go with this park the bus and play on counter system, Bielsa is as stubborn as Guardiola and will stick to his principles.
 
Today I want us to have the feeling Liverpool had when VVD was added to the ranks and he scored against Everton in his debut, or when they got Allison - That we have seen the glaring issues and we have fixed them and that we will be the team to beat after all this season, and that Leicester was an exemption!

Leeds will definitely put us under pressure, so this should be a very good game to see where we stand. No Mahrez, no Mendy (although good at Burnley) and no Garcia, and we will win this!

Feels like a pretty easy team to guess if Dias is available, but who knows with Pep?!

Either 4-2-3-1

Eddie
Walker - Ruben - Eric - Aké
Fernandinho - Rodri
Bernardo - KDB - Torres
Sterling

or 4-3-3 / 4-1-2-3-3
Eddie
Walker - Ruben - Eric - Aké
Fernandinho - Rodri - KDB
Bernardo - Sterling - Torres

I want us to lay down a marker now - Go Citizens!
