But yeah they’ve a decent fan base. They are the Ronnie Pickering of English football, an inflated sense of self-worth in the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extended another loan for a year. Signed 3 young players that are unlikely to break in to the first team just yet. Signed a Koch to replace white & signed an additional striker in Rodrigo if we sign Di Paul he’s a 10 that we’ve never replaced since Saiz left. So that’s really only 3 players & 1 of the players in Koch was a necessity due to losing white. It’s not like we’ve ripped our team up like both you & Fulham did, that was the criticism that was levelled at Fulham, they just did away with the team that got them up. Leeds aren’t breaking the team up. Just adding here & there Ripped our team up? Are you being deliberately obtuse? We had no choice as players who were old and out of contract were let go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds won't be finishing any lower than 15th IMO. They dominate games too much. Unless Bielsa has a wobble and walks that is. Watched some of that Gvardiol and he looks really good to me.

penguin Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 **** Leeds. Pick one or more (hopefully all) of the below: Philips to get tapped up on England duty before making his inevitable transfer to West Ham at the end of the season of a disappointing season where he fades into obscurity, Bielsa to have his standard mid-season meltdown and abandon ship, take only a point or 2 from the opening 5 or so games and all confidence drains once the fans realise there is actually a step up in quality in the leagues and they aren't going to dominate everyone below 10th like they seem to expect.

This is so accurate, Phillips is no better than the Bridcutt guy that was so super overhyped a few years back. One of the worst premier league players ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 What team did they put out at Stoke today considering Phillips was away and I assume it's too early for new signings. Probably what it would show is they don't have much depth in their squad at all so similar to us last season and playing likes of Lansbury and Jota early on in the season.

From the photos I saw Ayling and football tough guy Bamford was playing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Just had a a look and Oliver Casey, Pascal Struijk, Leif Davis and Jamie Shackleton all started today. No, me neither. Named just 4 subs aswell. They also desperately need a better keeper than Kiko Casilla aswell, I thought they signed the young French keeper who played end of last season but guess he might be involved with the French youth teams. Bielsa is like Nuno in that he prefers working with a smaller squad but that's a huge risk with this sort of season coming up. A few injuries and suspensions and they'll be playing some of those names listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
