Leeds United (H) - Sat 6th May, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Gabriel]

If we do somehow manage to win today and defeat the diabolical footballing mastermind that is Sam Allardyce, then it will likely be down to the fact that he has been deprived of the services of his trusted lieutenant, Sammy Lee. A beak has seen fit to insist that Lee fulfil his jury service duties, thus denying Allardyce of his Mini-Me.

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Grealish dropped. Haaland starts. Ederson starts.

Rested :)

I have a feeling this could be a big win here 6-0 leeds are very bad in defence should be a easy win then we can focus on madrid

 

[super_city_si]

Confirmed team:

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Kdb
Alvarez
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden

If true thats pretty strong but Rodri will have even more work to do in that midfield

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Confirmed team:

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Kdb
Alvarez
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden

That's one attacking team.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Confirmed team:

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Kdb
Alvarez
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden

That team looks very light in the middle, with neither Gundo or Bernie in there.

I worry for Rodri - a lot of pressure on Rico to be pushing up alongside him protecting the defence.

Still - I guess we’re going all out attack, which should be fun to watch!

Good for breaking down a low-block

KDB getting match fitness before Madrid, Erling supposed to do the job early and get subbed. Grealish rested too, this is good.

We do need Rodri rested as well. That's the biggest worry, he was definitely fatigued

Hopefully we can at half time after we’re 4-0 up

Confirmed team:

Ederson

Kdb
Alvarez

Well, barring injuries, we know basically who is starting against RM!

We will have not a lot of defending too against a deep Allardyce block. Pep said something about playing KDB + Alvarez + Haaland against those teams. Changes at HT probably too
