Cant see it being pretty open as Biesla i dont expect to park the bus but our quality should see us get the win
 
Quotes from Pep's press conference:

"I think Bielsa is probably the person I admire the most in world football as a manager and as a person. I think he is the most authentic manager all the time in terms of how he conducts his teams, he is unique. Especially his behaviour as a person off the pitch."

"My theory is the manager is not about the titles because I feel far away from his knowledge. My teams won more titles than his, but in terms of knowledge of the game, I am away from him. It is a good present, a good gift to have him in the Premier League."

"Cruyff was the most influential to me because I was four years with him and when I started as a manager he was an incredible help, but Marcelo, he is the person in world football I admire the most."

(On handball rule) "Football is unpredictable. The hand from Eric Dier, or Brighton versus United. Everyone knows when it is intentional or when it deflects onto hands. To give a penalty is quite ridiculous. Hopefully they can decide the best for the game. To be more fair."

"Leeds do exactly what they have to do. They are a team, fight for each other, defend a lot around the box. They have good build up. At the right moment, they arrive with a lot of players. I played three times against Marcelo at Bilbao, and every game was so difficult."

"Jesus is not ready. Hopefully after the international break he will be ready. Every season he is a better player than the season before. This is good. He has to try and improve finishing, to be quicker, sharper, more precise in this area."

"Dias trained twice - yesterday and today, he has settled good. He is part of the team, we have a training session this afternoon."

"Today was first day Gundogan is back but he didn't train. He will train with us during the international break and we will see."

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

Leeds will probably get more attackers in our box and have more energy, they have had no midweek game and I think Bielsa is more demanding of his players than Pep. It's been said Leeds players sometimes have to go to 2 meals a day if they are over their ideal weight, he's very strict.
 
So I assume all those unavailable for Burnley will be out of contention tomorrow with Stones some chance of being available.

Does any body know if we picked up any injuries in training or at Burnley?

Pep has a habit of keeping some injuries from the press and us of course on a regular basis so I guess its a loaded question.

Of course Laporte definitely picked up a decent knock to his ankle but played on.
 
This is my xi - I think we need to go defensive after last week
3 centre back's please Pep, shut up shop and hit them on the break.

EDERSON

RUBEN LAPORTE AKE
WALKER MENDY
RODRI FERNA

Nice dig at the United pen whilst the media focus on Dier and Spurs

But surely ake ruben and Laporte can negate the threat?
Is stones fit?
 
Big game this.

These cunts will be in early season no fucks given let's have a proper go at them mode.

They wont sit back and all that bollocks, they'll be open and it'll be an end to end game.

Can't wait to see Dias in action.
