Even a 12th place finish would be a solid improvement on last seaso. irrespective of where we finish....surely we can see things in games, we could be doing better and comment on them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why strengthen those weak suspension arms or fill that hole in the exhaust that's blowing. We wouldn't get any breakdowns, We will manage the whole duration without any quality or further strengthening repairs. we sure are misfiring....running on 3 cylinders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Did I read that Klich and Harrison won't make this? With Phillips possibly out aswell that will significantly weak them centrally. Obviously they're all programmed to run for their lives but it's not like Leeds have even that big a squad beyond their regular 11 bar a few wide options, likes of Tyler Roberts and Helder Costa are pretty hit and miss in premier league. We really really need to get our midfield right for this rather than just play the usual suspects. If we do I think we'll get a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison will I think, wasn't mentioned in the pre match interview. Klich a doubt, Phillips out. Same with Rodrigo That's our entire starting midfield injured 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biesla has stated he wants Jack to be playing.....He wants to play against our best side, thats how he measures his progress. I understand, we just want the points, But his mentality is different. We have to get our own team right and not worry about our opponents preparation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Smith is not much of a tactician. Has looked like we've been found out as of late. I feel like he needs to change up his tactics like he did during lockdown, but i predict he won't. We've looked very easy to play against for the past 5-7 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to win in what his mind is the beautiful way to attack from the front. everyone knows how we play & he’s happy to say this is what we are let’s see if you can stop it. it’s the same reason he announces his lineup in the week before games. He’s nothing to hide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t care about the opposition why does he send voyeurs to watch them train? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants his to team be the best he doesn’t say he wants to do it against the easiest opposition. When he was at Newell’s if teams didn’t have tapes of his team for scouting he would send them the tapes. he doesn’t hide how we play it’s always the same. If it’s not working he won’t change it. His plan B is do plan A better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he signs some players of more varying characteristics.....He might seem better at his tactical decisions and in game management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancvillan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Seen some shouts in other threads for Elmo to make way for Kesler. In a world where it's questionable that Barkley will be dropped, there's a zero percent chance of a start for Kaine Kesler. Anyone who's seen a Deano first 11 over the last couple of years must surely know this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
