More dangerous based on a rather fortunate goal against Southampton ? Struijk is by far the best player we have in the air at attacking a set piece into the box. I know you like to champion Firpo but even in the recent games where he has improved this is down the to the structure around him. Look a...

Key player will be the DMF whomever that maybe and I would also go Gyabi

I would lay a wager on Koch and Cooper as the CB pairing. For me this is not a game for Firpo. I would play struijk everyday of the week at LB instead, just as I would play Gyabi over Roca. We are not playing the over committed high press with Gracia, Struijk just like Firpo will not be as exposed ...

Jack Harrison wins player of the month

Lucky VAR wasn't around then

And that's what I'm railing against.... It's just lies ...

Ellandback1 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 7:53 pm I'm talking about his anaerobic pace. Short sprints and change of pace - of which he is slow.

Actually I think he has that. We'd need a 3 cone though to know either way for sure

s**t!!! When?

As is everyone else, newspapers, journalists etc. If you worked out how many times Fabrizio Romano actually get it right, it's very small, and much of what they say is opinion, or at least they look at the situation, and surmise how it's going to play out. But they guess for sensationalism.... not ...

If Leeds can't attract top talent, they won't rise up the table, which will impact better salaries, European football, and better International prospects - therefore affecting the players .

The second you do that your guessing

Ellandback1 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 3:59 pm I would agree with all that. Just wish he had a bit more pace. For the amount of time he spends in the opposition half, he only has 1 goal, and one assist, which I thought would be a lot more.

He has enough pace, not everyone runs a 4.35 forty

By giving Llorente a new 4 year contract, worth £10m, he has set a precedent. That's the point. It means if Leeds don't offer at least that amount to whoever else is negotiating a contract, then they are seriously not well thought of. Since joining Roma in January, Llorente has had 34 minutes of ga...

Along with every article in the back pages of the papers. We can only go by the information given. There's normally more truth than fiction. No, you don't have to believe all the click bait journalism, there's no way it's more truth than rumour. Remember the old talk sport telephones lines that som...

If Ayling was good enough to perhaps get 'into a few Premier League teams', thats telling me he shouldn't be anywhere near Elland Road. Not really, he knows the system, knows his fellow teammates (that can't be overstated,) and at his best gives opposing defenders a torrid time.. He's had an above ...

Listen to the trees as they sway in the wind. Their leaves are telling secrets. Their bark sings songs of olden days as it grows around the trunks. Then a bloke came along and chopped them down with an axe. I added the last line. Look around, leaves are brown, and the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Again, this is only my opinion, but if a work colleague who wasn't as good as me got a pay rise, I would want a pay rise. But would anyone else care, and why would you think your boss wouldn't value you over the other guy/gal. Until Koch either sighns a new contract or doesn't the point is redundant.

Ayling would get in a few premier teams....

Looking forward to this one, nothing to lose game against a team that's good to watch. Should be a fun game for the nuetral

I'll take that as a compliment ...

And the odds are it's mis-information....
