Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 28th December) Leeds scrap to victory as injury toll mounts

I think Rodrigo's workrate and movement, are the reason Bamf is getting so many chances to feet now, and scoring goals.

Re: LUFC Injury/Suspension Thread

Looks like we're going to be without all four of our first team centre-backs again.
Not to worry. Bielsa has always said he allows for up to four injuries. He did it last match. So he can do it again.

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 28th December) Leeds scrap to victory as injury toll mounts

It was strange to see us not closing them down in their half, and winning the ball back quickly yesterday. Mesliers change of tactic with high balls made a huge difference against a big, strong, team. He usually dominates the six yard box, but leaves high balls outside the six yard box to the defenc...

Re: Ryan Edmondson

At first sight i thought the commentators had got the wrong player. He doesn't look like a scrawny sixteen year old kid. More like Alan Shearer on steroids.

Re: Heckingbottoms Nonsense Mistakes

What would he know about what it takes to compete at the top of the table? We beat Boro and Brstol City, we should have beaten Villa under TC, even Wolves for 15 20mins in the second half we were the better side, we got it back to 2-1 and were the better side. He talks utter crap, he is an average ...

Re: Heckingbottoms Nonsense Mistakes

I think he's just using his time to learn what each player gives him. Next match Kalvin will be dropped for Viera. I think Heck has used the last few matches to decide he doesn't want O'Kane or Kalvin. He already knows he doesn't want De Bok, and now he doesn't want Anita at left-back either. This i...

I agree with you regarding three at the back, but I think I'd go 3-5-2 like this:

Re: January transfer rumours and squad discussion

I think we need to have a reserve side again. Then the players that do well on the U23's can play in the reserves against experienced players, and the guys on the bench can play in the reserves so they're still playing matches.

Re: Three things you learned from today's game

It's even worse outfield. Two players going for a ball. One decides that instead of going for the ball, he'll put his leg between the opponent and the ball. For me, the player going for the ball shouldn't get a card, or have a foul against him. He should get a free-kick because the other player didn...

Re: Three things you learned from today's game

Watched it loads of times. There was contact. Penalty. O'Kane was stupid. You can't tackle in the area these days. You have to shepherd them, and block if they try to cross.

Re: Three things you learned from today's game

Sakho is terrible.
O'Kane is a liability.
Roofe lost his mind.

Now Heck is in, are we pleased TC is out?

I'll set the ball rolling.
I like TC, but he said in his interview, he'd have made changes in matches where Monk lost. While in charge, his only changes were to bring on weaker players in the same position.
So I'm pleased we have the Heck in.

Re: Top Academy Prospects

From what bit I've seen, and what I've heard from people I follow on twitter that watch the U23's, Sarkic could be ready in 18 months if we're still in this division. Looks very good. The best is probably Machuca. Exceptional midfielder. Very talented. He could be better than Viera already. Dominate...
