In a tiny village in East Yorkshire.

Power-cuts are quite common here in the UK.

Ditch back 4 ploddyball vs the stronger opponent and if it goes wrong can claim his way is better

Midfield weak defensively without Ampadu in there!

Gotta be worrying for Gnonto if he's unable to get a start in front of Mills?

Wouldn’t read too much into who’s starting and who isn’t. Very few are actually going to play more than half the game. I expect to see Gnonto in the second half.

Gnonto will feature in second-half along with the many other changes.

That's how friendlies are especially in the first few games.

Probably!

Ampadu played virtually all of the Wrexham game, Ethan is one of the key cogs of the current Leeds set-up.

We need more midfield defensive cover

Are you watching Cjay?

Gabi, Rodon, Taric, Bornaauw, Bogle - could be 5 at back but with Gabi and Boble as wing backs. Guess one goal here is to aclimatize big Taric to these formations.
Not sure what hes used to?

But this gives Joe a chance to wear the armband in place of Pascal.
