Leeds v Cardiff - Team/Reports/Ratings

[weasel]

Gaetano will probably be played up front as part of another tactical masterclass by Evans.

Gaetano will probably be played up front as part of another tactical masterclass by Evans.

Even up front Gaetano would still probably be our best player , we all dream of a team of Berardi's .

Tuesday night football at ER, mostly bad results
Cardiff, a bogey team for Leads
Cellino selling out... confusion reigns
Evans bad mouthing the players... fails to motivate or inspire confience.
Youngsters running on empty. Mowatts legs are dead. Byram's head is not straight, Cook just angry at the mess of it all.
Sylvestri in goal.
Bamba missing and Bellusci an accident waiting to happen... how many red cards has he had?
Wooton a Marure reject
Wood flapping his feet up front.
Dukara with no ball control
No holding midfield player
No midfield playmaker.

The list goes on and on and we are living on cloud cuckoo land if we expect a win tonight.

I see you have your optimist head on tonight then Rab........

I am only saying what most people are thinking.
If Leeds win it will be because Cellino has a voodoo doll of Vincent Tan and is sticking pins in it.


Byram on the bench Wooton at RB. Did I hear that Botaka is on the bench as well???
and Sloth is on the bench as well as Buckley and Dukara

[gessa]

v Cardiff City: Silvestri, Wootton, Cooper, Bellusci, Berardi, Dallas, Murphy, Cook, Mowatt, Antenucci, Wood

[weasel]

team v Cardiff - Silvestri, Wootton, Cooper, Bellusci, Berardi, Dallas, Murphy, Cook, Mowatt, Antenucci, Wood

Subs - Horton, Byram, Phillips, Sloth, Buckley, Botaka, Doukara

Week 1: Evans can't wait to tellt he world how he has restored Byram's confidence.

Week 3: Drops Byram so he can play somebody out of position there.

So who is playing out of position on the wing today Mowatt or Cook whilst we have 2 wingers on the bench.

If we win it will be despite Evans not because of.

v Cardiff City: Silvestri, Wootton, Cooper, Bellusci, Berardi, Dallas, Murphy, Cook, Mowatt, Antenucci, Wood

may as well play without a right back....Mowatt and Antenucci seems redundant too...

no defence, no cover for a keeper lacking confidence. Dallas, Mowatt Antenucci Wood have no defensive capabilities, neither has Wooton if it comes to that. Bellusci first game back and new partnership, never good. Cook and Murphy will probably have to cover 5 midfielders between them..

ohh f**k, our worst starting line up in years

so 1-0 to us then - Wood

[weasel]

It definitely looks the case that absolutely everything is wrong so sod's law we will win - can only hope......

[rab_rant]

Sylvestri actually catches a cross. Mirco brighter than Wood who can't get in gear

[Genghers]

It definitely looks the case that absolutely everything is wrong so sod's law we will win - can only hope......

And as you say, it'll be in spite of Evans.

But I'm sure he'll take the credit.

21 minutes gone will we get past 30 minutes without a goal against us???

Don't you jinx it!

I'm baffled by the lack of winger on the left. How can playing someone (who's out of form) out of position when we have two other wingers (and a Byram at a push)?

[rab_rant]

Don't you jinx it!

32 minutes we have survived... there might be hope for us after all.
Mowatt nearly through on goal.

[rab_rant]

Leeds are starting to grow in confidence now.
Some lovely play from Stuart Dallas and Lewis Cook
has Cardiff on the back foot, but Cook skews the final
shot and it flies over the bar.

[rab_rant]

Another shot on target for Leeds, this time from Chris Wood.
Chris Wood has another chance, this time a header from
Giuseppe Bellusci's cross, but it flies wide again.

Half time... well played taking the game to Cardiff

[Genghers]

Dallas sounds like he's having a good game. Mowatt offering nothing much down the left... unsurprisingly. If it's the same story for the first 10 mins after half time then I'd like to see Botaka come on.

At least we didn't concede!

GOAL MOWATT: LEEDS 1-0 CARDIFF

Yellow for Bellusci.
Cardiff are preparing for another change,
with Kenwyne Jones about to come on.
