Leeds United (H) - Sat 29th Nov, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Fat el Hombre]

Think we'll smash them

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Leeds normally play at a high tempo which should work in our favour

Just get it won and don't let the game drift if we score a few early goals.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Start of a massive week in the prem for us. 3 must win games for me to really distance ourselves from the teams below and put a bit of pressure on Arsenal. 4-0 win for me. Hopefully give a few a bit more of a rest and go full strength in the Fulham game midweek.

Love it the locals here in Pickering saying " they don't fear City ", just smiled " City won't get relegated though " I replied :-)

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

ST holders can now purchase extra for Leeds & Sunderland.

 

[big gaz]

yup

our season now relies on Rodri getting fit and staying fit (not sure that will happen)

this was said repeatedly over the summer when various people were saying that our recruitment was great.....its been shit.

our midfield isnt fit for purpose - Reijnders is a disaster, Cherki hit and miss at best, we have no right back and a kid who is an attacking midfielder at left back and keeping out left back signing out of the team (deservedly so)

totally predictable and deserved

Bit unfair on our two full backs Simon, both have been okay so far or have I got it wrong ?
I agree midfield weak but further up the field gets no better.

 

[big gaz]

We will hammer Leeds and arsenal will drop points at Chelsea, everyone chill, long way to go, Pep did totally balls up the team with all them changes tho tonight.

Thats how Joey Holts fucks with the brain cells ;-)

This is it. We need the points to secure CL next season putting pressure on the gooners is an after thought. Great if it happens but first things first.

Hopefully Pep’s programme notes start with “first of all let me apologise for that cunts trick I pulled the other night”

Followed by;

"We all hate the Sheepshaggers and I will pick a team to smash the Jimmy Savile lovers..."

 

[york away to this!]

Hoping for about 10 changes after the exertions of the chumps league in the week...

no they have been decent....Nunes has come on well and NOR is one of our best players.....BUT the fact that NOR is keeping uot the guy we paid for says it all about our recruitment.

Yes I also further upfield is no better as well....Sav is awful and we should have let him go....

Over Gvardiol?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Over Gvardiol?

Khusanov was our best defender up until he got that injury at Arsenal away, he was performing at a really high level.

Gvardiol certainly hasn't been pulling up trees by any stretch of the imagination. The team could do with real physicality and pace introduced to the side and Khusanov brings both.

I know he wasn't great the other night against Leverkusen although he was only back from injury and basically playing in a second string side.

 

[come-on-barney]

There really are some serious bedwetters on here.

Heard that last game

 

[JGL07]

First it was the match day thread that was dominated by moaners, defeatists, and undercover rags/dippers/etc. And that was when City were on a run of four titles in a row including a couple of trebles. I haven’t gone near the thread in five years or more.

Then it spread to the post-match thread after any under-par performance. Now it is here on the pre-match thread.

The site is becoming toxic.
