Ok folks, from what we saw over these two matches, select your starting 11 for the next match. I will do the same when the power is back on.

Apart from you & I no one has mentioned White's performance. Kenneh was also impressive. Shackleton looks a better player than Clarke
I thought White was excellent tonight, hope he isn't injured Didn't see much of Kenneh as internet was playing up when he came on. As for Shackleton I thought to myself, we must keep hold of Shackleton, he'll be the next one other clubs are sniffing after

Shackleton seems to be one of those players that never lets you down
Agreed boss, I believe this season will prove to be his breakthrough into being a regular . Lets hope this time next year he isn’t being courted by our rivals.

Nohan Kenneh is a beast! What do they feed these U18s?
Believe it or not, he was in the U16's last season.
You can see why PSG are interested. I haven't seen him play before live - only highlights - and he was always being compared to Patrick Vieira. However, he scored a lot of goals for the U16's, so I naturally thought that he was a more attacking player. Turns out he is a defensive midfielder.
There is a nice story on his website about how he came to the UK.

Id agree with that. Very good 11.
Although i doubt bielsa will drop Klich for Shackleton just yet to be honest.
With that said though, i think Shack will be a first team regular in no time, if Leeds can get promoted and keep him! He looks class and doesnt stop running. My type of player.
Pleasantly surprised by the young guys, Kenneh and Miazek too, they both did really well
Klich probably my MOTM tonight, so much class and ran the game. No way Shack deposes him in centre mid. His best chance at starting is at RB. Which for me is his spot.

It seems the kid came from a poor background. His family, education & football is important to young Nohan, the lad has really knuckled down to achieved what he has done so far, his parents, teachers & those looking after him at ER must be proud of him

I still feel he is much more suited to coming on as an impact sub than starting. Much easier for him to use his blistering pace and trickery against tiring defenders. Can see it predominantly being Costa and Harrison on the wings with Clarke replacing one of them around the hour mark (similar to how he did initially last season).

Watched the highlights. They've clearly been selected to make KP look crap and stave off interest!
BPF should have done better for their goal. I do wonder whether it's a toss up between him and Miazek for the backup position...
Great goal from Costa, who looks to have the pace and directness we missed later last season. The second was beautifully worked - Bogusz just ghosted in (a bit like Roofe does).
