Good luck to foden with no support

 

[Banner92]

Team should be
Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte ake(or Aki Laporte)
Fern(if not Doyle over rodi)
De bruyne foden
Silva sterling Torres
Walker and lb tucking in rather than bombing forward with silva Torres sticking out wide allowing de bruyne and foden to step forward and sterling working the line, same system that david and de bruyne worker to a tee

The good news is that as a United fan, Anthony Taylor won't be sure who he hates most - us or Leeds.
Maybe try to get us both a red card, somehow ?

 

[damrider]

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Mendy
Rodri
KDB Bernardo
Foden Delap Sterling

Have bernardo help rodri with his energy in midfield. We need an out and out striker too so start Delap

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Would be surprised if Dias starts, away in the Premier League on his debut. Perhaps a bit of game time in the second half.
Glad Harrison can't play. He's looked lively for them so far. Whilst he's scored a couple already in these early weeks of the season, I can't take Bamford seriously as a genuine PL striker, and that renders Leeds pretty toothless against a top top team.
Leeds 0 3 City.

I'd take 3-0 now. Leeds are the hipster team at the moment with Marcelo Bielsa in charge and they've become oddly likeable for such an inbred bunch.

I think both teams will score. I think it will be close. 2-1 City is a sensible thought whilst 4-3 City is less so.

I agree,i'm finding myself a tad baffled with my attraction to this new Leeds outfit.......but their style of play and maverick approach is very watchable.I also really enjoy watching our boy Harrison play,it's a shame we wont see him Saturday.

 

[houraisen]

I'd like to see Ferran Torres continue to be used as a starter for a few games. He's going to adapt to the Premier League quicker than I thought he would.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Not sure of the injury situation but i will have a stab at the team

EDERSON
WALKER , DIAS , LAPORTE , AKE
TORRES , DINHO , BERNARDO , FODEN
KDB , STERLING

not sure of the formation with no centre forward could be 4-4-2 , 4-3-3 , or even 1-3-6 , but those eleven players are the ones i would want to start , and our chance conversion rate has to improve , i counted at least a dozen clear cut opportunities against Burnley and we took three of them.

Love that team. KDB behind Sterling and let Torres and Foden cause havoc on the wings (Foden right, Torres left) and cutting inside. The most important thing is work rate. Work hard with the right line up and we’ll win. We can work as hard as we like with the wrong line up and Bielsa will punish us. No Rodri, Mahrez or Mendy.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Both managers only want to play one way. Their players are super fit and run for 95 minutes. I suspect we will make them do just that. Its another free hit for them. Logic says there should be plenty of goals and no clean sheet in sight. I'll take 3 - 6 City if we're on it.

Taylor as 4th official won't have too much influence though.

Dean will be reffing the match mind.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Just saw a hotdog vendor outside the training complex who looked suspiciously like Bielsa.

 

[mancityvstoke]

Please shit on Leeds Utd.....

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

I'm just hoping for a City that's up for the game. If we get that then I see an easy win.

 

[MAG]

I think we'll be debuting our dark Away kit finally ... was expected to play in that against Burnley but they still went with 3rd ...

Two teams who play almost exactly the same, just one team has much better players

 

[Fordyboy46]

I wonder if JimHarri will be perched on a bridge over the M621 with his snipers rifle?
