Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wednesday 20th March) Phillips linked with Elland Road return

The genius of Bielsa turned him from a player a lot of fans wanted gone, into an England regular.

It’s almost he reverted to the pre Bielsa player, especially after a string of injuries.

His career trajectory reminds me of Beckford. Reaching too high for his ability and then a rapid decent.

Re: Daniel Farke

I think we’ve been fortunate to have him. At one point it looked like Alladyce might be offered the job, shudder. We were in a right state at the start of the closed season. Owner issues, players jumping ship left and right and no manager at the helm. I for one didn’t expect us to be we are now, pla...

Re: Leeds Utd set pieces

I don’t understand everybody back to defend a corner.

The more you leave up the more they have to outnumber you as a defensive unit.

Leaving Summerville and James up front would give the opposition puppies.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds - Post Match Thread

Two Chelsea supporting friends both said that if we’d played our best eleven we’d have beaten them.

Both also said we were the better side with the team we had out there.

Small margins in the end.

We were the best team second half.

They threw everything at it to get over the line.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread

I have a Chelsea loving mate coming round for the game so I'm hoping for a decent performance.

No doubt we'll see changes due to some injury niggles.

The pressure is all their manager. Lose and he could be gone.

Re: Jesse Marsch

If we were half as good as his talking ability we’d be playing in the Champions League tonight. You can see he interviews very well and will inevitably bull shine his way into another top job. His tactics are flawed as we all saw, but he is able on live tv to convince some that he is good at what he...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 15th February) One stumbling block in the way of Rodon's £15m transfer

Forgot about Harrison TBH. Pretty happy to sell him given our current squad. Don’t think he’d be in the first team at the moment. Echo others here. Rodon will be one of a few we might lose if we don’t go up. I think it will be a massive reset if we don’t go up, and statistically it is more difficult...

Re: Rodon & Ampadu/Rodon & Struijk or Other?

My first thought was Rodon and Struijk but there is a good call for Ampadu.

This at least shows we have some decent options. That’s not something you could have had said last season.

Ampadu showing what a versatile player he is.

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 12th February) Leeds breeze past sorry Millers

Going to Plymouth on Saturday but I’m fortunate as my best mate lives down there and has booked a corporate event.

Feel sorry for the guys going back in one day especially after a trip to South Wales.

Re: FA Cup Winners or Promotion?

FA Cup for me.

Cups are remembered and celebrated. In the coming years it will be just a promotion.

I reckon the gap between ourselves and the Premiership top 10 is so vast we may never compete on level terms, so a cup win is about as much as we can dream for at the moment.

Re: Northumberland

Hadrian’s Wall if you want a bit of history.

Loads of sites. Vindalanda is the one to go for if you are just visiting one site. Impressive ruins and a fabulous museum. You’ll need a couple of hours minimum.

Re: Going to be particularly evil here ... for the sake of debate

You almost forget how good Bielsa’s side was given the squad he had.

I think Pablo was the difference and DF doesn’t have a like for like in his squad.

Overall this squad is more talented. What could Bielsa have done with them?

Having said that, DF inherited a car crash.

Can’t call it.

Re: Connor Roberts- WELCOME

Still think Archie has more to offer in midfield especially if the opposition sit back. He has a good eye for picking a pass.

Certainly frees up options in the middle of the park.

Re: Is this window a failure

I’d flip this and say how many January windows are a success?

I’m getting old but I can remember many players bought in January that have had a positive effect.
