Leeds United (A) - Wed 28th Dec, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Who guessed that team! Big game for Riyadh, needs to play well to stay in the side and he has that chance.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Yorkshire Pudding on the bench for a 30 second cameo :)

 

[Goater=Legend]

Trying not to be negative but going away to leeds with a slow midfield and wingers is a bad move.

 

[yankblue]

Well done Rico

Has Phil done something?

 

[youngbob]

Mahrez and Grealish will make for a fun matchday thread.

 

[Cricket Blue]

Well Grealish and Mahrez together usually stinks the place out. Absolutely baffling to be honest.
I'll give it until the end of the 1st half before we send out the cavalirey.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Would rather Bernie & Foden but hey ho.
Come on City

I think most of us would, but if we can't beat the top four in the Championship side Leeds have put out with the players selected, we deserve to lose.

 

[Gus Fring]

I worry about the lack of pace when its Grealish and marhez

I worry about everything when those two play together but up the blues

 

[HolisticJim]

I wish we had a proper left back ffs

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Really should be Foden and Walker starting. More worried about Bernardo not starting though. No energy in CM with Gundogan and KDB with Rodri..

Same three ran the scousers ragged and controlled the game, fear not! Their starting 11 is hardly a whose who of European football, they’ve got a few missing too, and we have an amazing bench if it doesn’t work

 

[chesterbells]

Nedum on Amazon. Excellent.

 

[lonestay]

Gabi Logan and Alan Shearer the dream team is back on Amazon !!!!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Oh noooo I thought if would be different on Prime but it’s flaming Gaby Logan again!! Ah well subtitles work thank goodness.

Amazpn give us the option of just Stadium FX so we don't need to listen to how many goals MANUre scored, how many fuckin' touches Rashford had, how many Leeds players are loaned to MANUre and vice versa!

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Another game Sat, so expect changes across two games

 

[oldius]

Absolutely delighted to see Rico and Jack start.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Mental that Walker and Cancelo aren’t playing either?! All the other big teams went as strong as possible first game back yet Pep goes all Willy Wonka again

Walker is representing mother time and cancelo will have his usual purple patch, no rush, we haven’t won all these titles by panicking; 14 games in and still 72 to play for, calm heads prevail…. If arsenal, Newcastle et al hit the required 93pts+, which is our mean average then they’ll deserve the accolades, not so sure they will mind!

 

[chris85mcfc]

I wish we had a proper left back ffs

He's playing right wing mate

 

[chesterbells]

Would rather Bernie & Foden but hey ho.
Come on City

We’ll see both, I’m sure

 

[train man]

Mahrez and Grealish together, just NO! Hope they do summat, but all that combo have done so far is sloooow things down. Said many times it's as much as a no-no as simultaneously omitting both Phil and Bernie, and so missing their pressing and influence, yep, they're both on the bench, together...
Tbh, that's a rotation of a combination of 4 players he needs to change very soon.

 

[vin]

Interesting team. Can sense a bit of a KDB masterclass. Feel like he’ll get a lot of space in those half spaces. He usually finds Haaland so should see at least one or two clear cut opps from that.
