Suspect there’s been some behind the scenes criticism of Piroe among the brass which prompted the change. Let’s see how Georgi plays in the 10 spot for a while.

I take it Georginio drops back into the 10 role.
Thinking the same thing about Rutter.

This is what a lot of people on here have been calling for. Let's hope they're proven right

Bizarre considering we haven't tried him as the forward. Not sure Bamford is anywhere like as good.

We're Leeds. What makes you think we'll get a penalty call?

Why couldn't he leave Spence (a player presumably signed for him at great cost) in and bring Gray into midfield to give a bit more creativity?

Kamara is tidy but not creative.

Why are we finally going to see Rutter at 10 presumably but the most prolific forward in the Championship last 2 seasons is dropped for a bloke who whilst class at one time has struggled for ages ? Farke to stubborn to admit his rant over Piroe was wrong?

I agree with this,
Why not try Piroe up top and Archie at midfield. Maddening

So you want to see the otherunderperforming substitutes given more match time but not Bamford?

Struijk absent again…either his injury is more serious or there’s a transfer in the works. Hope it’s the former…

Not when Farke is still being to stubborn to admit he was wrong about Piroe.

Fans have been calling for Rutter to play 10 for ages, that good.

But Farke can't just admit he got it wrong and let Pirpe have 1 chance as a striker?

Think he’s alluding to wanting to see Piroe in the 9, but Farke’s pride getting in the way of trying that. I’m curious to see how Paddy responds with the start, especially with Georgi in the 10.

Think Paddy now has to have a good game, which would be a 8 from me or better. Leeds fans need a win

I just don't think Bamford is up to the task I would like to know ow what he is doing in training that we ain't seeing on Match day .I much prefer Rutter / Piroe as a set up .
