I see Chris Sutton has predicted Leeds to lose yet again.

If he plays a strong side with many 1st teamers and one or two get injured then social media will go mad “ Farke doesn’t know what he’s doing risking our best players”

He plays a weakened side and we lose then it’s “ Farke doesn’t know what he’s doing playing a weakened side against a Championship side”

Buonanotte has to start otherwise why did we get him

Perri

Justin
Bornauw
Bijol
Byram

Tanaka
Gruev
Buonanotte

Gnonto
James
Piroe

That would be good enough imo
Longstaff for Gruev ,thats my starting XI

Disappointed in that, think the lad deserves a chance.

As an asset for the club his value will have gone down the toilet.

I think we paid £16 million for him.

If Farke has no intention of using him then he should have been sold last summer, before his value plummeted.

This is not doing the club, or Piroe any favours.

No Dan James or I expect Gnonto would be on the bench... Injured again?

Me too Cussie, but Daniel Farke doesn't.

It's a strange way to manage our assets, Piroe, Gnonto and Tanaka, who all might have drastically increased their value in the EPL are just gathering dust.
