Yeah, lots of room for more defensive players on the bench: Gruev, Stach, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson. Jobs a good un 👍

No need for any attacking players in the squad now, sorted.

Philippe Clément has transformed Norwich since his arrival. His name indicates a compassionate person with noble or, historically, knightly connections.

Will Norwich set up into a 4 4 2 intending to hurt Leeds on the break with line splitting passes and fast attacks. Is it going to be an end to end cavelry charge from both teams promising above 3.5 goals?

A dominant Leeds defence, control of midfield and precision in the final third will see Leeds progress into the quarter finals.

Todays game is an opportunity for the squad to end the home losing streak and to regain belief that PL survival is just 2 wins away, beginning with a trip to Selhurst Park.

I won't be booing though!
I think the boos were more aimed at Pep who gathered his players for another 'team chat'. Remember, he'd done that to us before when he instructed his goalie to feign injury, resulting in his team talk giving them advantage, and they scored in extra time. Now that cheating does deserve booing.

No DCL in the squad, he's either injured or we're arrogant

And we haven’t even kicked a ball yet.

I think we will win this one.

Is this a 3 3 4 line up?

I hate teams that aren't teams .. we can win but we're making it much easier for Norwich who do start favourites for me.

strange defence. So is it 3 or 4 at the back.
Leeds need to bring in a midfielder who can score goals and a decent number 9 in Jan 2027.

4/1 Norwich although I thought I saw 6/1 was available. Probably a bit big tbh.
