Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
ok folks 2 teams (as it seems a little late for additional signings to come in and start) 1) - What you think Biesla will do, and 2)- Your starting XI

Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
Mine - Formation 4-5-1 (Assuming Forshaw is injured
BPF
Ayling
Jansson
Cooper
Douglas
Phillips
Klich
Alioski
Hernandez
Roofe
Bamford
Biesla - 451
BPF
Ayling
Jansson
Cooper
De Bock
Phillips
Klich
Alioski
Hernandez
Saiz
Roofe
Think the new guys could be on the bench week 1 as MB likes to introduce slowly
Forshaw starts over Klich if fit, but not looking likely AFAIK. With Forshaw out and Vierra gone our options outside of adding a youth teamer appear to be less varied than they were..I'd assume O'Kane will be considered for the bench

Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
I rarely post but I do a lot of MOT Forum stalking (the threads not the members). Really excited for the new season, eternal optimist - for which supporting Leeds is a real challenge.
Like Faiip I think MB may be slower to introduce the new signings (bar Douglas) as they familiarise with his tactics. I'm also not convinced Jansson will be fully match fit, although I hope so.
My team:
---------------Bamford---------------
Harrison------Saiz----Hernandez
-----------------Klich------------------
Douglas----------------------Ayling
----------------Phillips----------------
----Jansson-----------Berardi------
----------Peacock-Farrell-----------
Predicted Bielsa Team:
-----------------Roofe-----------------
Alioski---------Saiz----Hernandez
-----------------Klich------------------
Douglas----------------------Ayling
----------------Phillips----------------
----Cooper-----------Berardi------
----------Peacock-Farrell-----------
It will be interesting to see who makes the bench. I think Clarke, Shackleton and Edmondson were impressive in pre-season, however - Blackman, Baker, Dallas, Berardi/Jansson, Alisoki/Harrison, Roofe/Bamford - are all more likely candidates.

Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
None of you have included Tyler Roberts, even on the bench. Am I missing something, he's not injured again is he?

I think you are spot with what the starting line up will be 1964white, with Baker starting instead of Forshaw if he's injured.1964white wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 1:42 pm I hope Bielsa starts with some of the newbies & Pontus

Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
Completely forgot about Tyler Roberts... I suppose that's easily done considering his Leeds career so far. Don't think he'll start though. Also assuming Forshaw is injured.
Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
So two from your original bench don't get a shirt - which two?
Trying to pick Sunday's 18 make you realize that the squad is still actually quite big.

Bench Dallas, Klich, Roberts, Berardi, BPF - is that it? Not sure how many we are allowed

Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
p.s. - I have no clue what Bielsa will do......
Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
Think I'd go with:
-----------------------BPF--------------------------
---------Jansson-Phillips-Cooper------------
Ayling----------------------------------Douglas
--------------------Forshaw----------------------
Alioski---------Hernandez-------------Roofe
-------------------Bamford-----------------------
Blackman, Berardi, Pearce, Klich, Saiz, Roberts, Edmonson
-----------------------BPF--------------------------
---------Jansson-Phillips-Cooper------------
Ayling----------------------------------Douglas
--------------------Forshaw----------------------
Alioski---------Hernandez-------------Roofe
-------------------Bamford-----------------------
Blackman, Berardi, Pearce, Klich, Saiz, Roberts, Edmonson
Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
Bielsa?
-------------------BPF----------------
Ayling-Jansson-Cooper-Dallas
---------Forshaw-Phillips---------
Alioski----Hernandez-------Saiz
-----------------Roofe---------------
Klich for Forshaw in both if he's injured.

Re: Leeds United versus Stoke City - Official Match day thread
Think it will be too early for Douglas, he was excluded from all preseason games at Wolves, to include Bamford after Roofe’s preseason would be cruel, I think Harrison will start, Dallas at LB until Douglas gets up to speed
——————— Blackman ———————
———— Pontus - Philips - Cooper ———
Ayling ——————————————- Dallas
———————— Klich ————————-
Baker ———— Hernandez———— Harrison
———————— Roofe —————————
My expected lineup, maybe Forshaw if he is fit but he had an injury concern, Bamford, Tyler, Alioski, Berardi on the bench

Worst case scenario is the new lads and Jansson arent match fit.
Then we get an even more shite defence of Berardi, Cooper and Philips, my absolute nightmare.
Dallas at left back, hate inverted full backs.
Roofe being bullied by Shawcross all game up front.
Saiz running into blind alleys and Pablo desperately trying to keep up with James McLean on the right.
Basically last seasons side plus Klich, doesnt bare thinking about.

Forshaw out for 6-8 weeks.
Opportunity for Klich to show what he can do competitively/over a longer period.
