Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 5th November) Dan James back on song
McKenna rubbished the rumour last week and I don't think the red card will change his thinking . Most of the Ipswich ire was directed at the referee as the foul came in a breakaway where Ipswich thought they should have had a penalty . Personally I think Kalvin only went there so he could get Bielsa ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 4th November) - Whites outclass sorry Pilgrims
In fact the much derided loan clauses were one of the main reasons why Leeds were able to avoid significant financial issues because they were able to ship high earners off the wage bill which had been a huge issue at the time of the previous relegation . It can be hard to know which of the buys ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wednesday 30th October) Could Jack Harrison Return in January?
So Solomon had a bad injury last year and missed the season and the narrative is that he is a huge injury risk as if no other player has had a similar experience and returned to play for a full career . All the signs in his first couple of games were that he was a different class from the vast ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 29th October) Will Leeds terminate Solomon loan
I cannot understand the suggestion that you try to cancel Solomon's loan because he has been injured for a couple of weeks and is taking a bit of time to get back to full match fitness . With his ability and experience he will be a key player for Leeds over the course of the entire season and will ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 25th October) Bamford linked with St Marys move
So we have a high potential but currently low scoring striker and a goalscorer who every 5th game plays like a striker and in the middle of our promotion push we will get rid of our only proven ( albeit injury prone ) centre forward. It is suggested that the replacement for Bamford would be another ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 24th October) Leeds complete Guilavogui deal
The reality is that Farke is always going to look for both full backs to make a major contribution on the attacking front and the stats show that Firpo makes a massive amount of assists and Bogle is now doing the same on the other side. The downside is that this does leave a major gap if the ball is ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wednesday 23rd October) Hornets stung by early Leeds goals
It's also important that there is greater variation which will make it harder for low blocks as the point of attack is harder to predict.

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 21st October) Leeds dent Blades promotion hopes with comprehensive win
Clearly with the current injury situation it would be insane to loan out either Debayo or Crew and that will remain the case even if one of the 'free agents' is signed because they are probably a couple of weeks away from match fitness . I'm sure a few weeks ago that Rothwell was questioning his ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Monday 21st October) Leeds dent Blades promotion hopes with comprehensive win
It was Piroe that provided the run and pass for the Joseph goal ! The reality is that over the 10 games played so far Leeds have demonstrably been the most impressive team in the Championship. Neither of the 2 teams currently ahead of us in the Table looked like world beaters against us and their ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 15th October) Can Leeds afford to wait until January
Bielsa aimed for a small squad and was reluctant to let younger players out on loan as he tended to use them to cover gaps hence the likes of Shackleton, Struijk and Poveda got game time in the Championship and loans didn't feature . The strategy under Marsch was all over the place and this affected ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 8th October) Listen boss, I’ve never seen something like this!!!
At the moment between injuries ,Meslier's howler, Solomon's slip and a few dodgy decisions it feels at times particularly on Friday that all the breaks are against us . Despite that we are in and about the promotion places and nothing that I have seen so far indicates that there is that much to fear ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 4th October) - Gruev out for at least six months
If Hamer was the one man guarantee of promotion why do S.U. have fewer goals than Leeds?Whatever he is he certainly doesn't replace either Gruev or Ampadu in the roles they play within this Leeds team so I can't see how chasing the unlikely prospect of Wilder ever allowing his sale for anything ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wednesday 2nd October) Well earned draw or two points dropped?
Norwich are on a run of I think 19 games unbeaten at home so they are a very different proposition from what we played in that mad game last season. In addition they also had the ref basically doing a complete homer as if there had been any equal treatment applied Borja Sainz would have been off as ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 1st October) - Ampadu out of action until New Year with LCL injury
Our best run last season came when Ampadu went into defence and Gruev filled in at No. 4 which is probably his more natural position with the difference being that Tanaka is better suited to the more forward role than Kamara . The back up then will be Rothwell and Crew so it's not like we're down to ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 24th September) 49ers open talks with James over new terms
Dropping Gruev appears to be the next most popular option after sacking Farke and both are to my mind major mistakes. The notion that if a player chooses in certain circumstances to play a pass backwards that they are always incapable of attacking is manifestly false. The idea that a manager should ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 20th September) Have Leeds overdone it with wide players
I don't think that either the midfield or the 3 behind the striker are playing according to the somewhat rigid assumptions that seem to underlie most of the comments . It's quite clear that Gruev has moved to the slightly more advanced role that Kamara occupied last year and in that role has already ...

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 19th September) - Does James injury mean it's Ramazani's time to shine?
Both goals against Wednesday came down the right and there have been lots of attacks down the right so i don't know where this is coming from . Compared to last year there is a lot more balance to our attacking threat and I repeat once the front 5 have had a greater chance to train and play together ...
