But the question raised is still valid. Under what circumstances would you see him coming on ahead of Berardi or Douglas?

A similar scenario with Leif Davis (our best LB) overcoming Alioski & Douglas both are poor defenders

Not gonna happen unfortunately

Jekyll & Hyde comes to mind :(

Agree, walked out of ER feeling like we had lost!

First half was the usual , dominated, Derby barely got in our half but we wasted chances and opportunities. Second half, what can be said? After 60 minutes we were not at the races. Sat deep, didn’t press, Keogh controlled the game from the back and the goal was inevitable. The penalty miss secured our fate!

By the time Costa and Eddie came on we were already sitting too deep, too late to change things.

Harrison busy but wasteful, Branford strived hard at times was let down by our wingers, at times he squandered chances himself.

Ben White a class above everyone else on that pitch, lad has a big future.

The only reason I can see for bringing Douglas on was to push Alio up and move Costa to the right. He offered nothing!

I fancy Ayling at RB and Dallas at LB.

That's the way I'd go Adam.

Fed up of watching two inept wing-backs

Honesty Leon, I’ve not seen a CB in a Leeds shirt with that composure and quality since Radebe, Woodgate, Ferdinand. He’s not at that level yet but I’m sure he will be.

I don't see him coming on ahead in front of Douglas or Berardi, thought I said that, he's on the bench as a centre mid to cover if Shack or Phillips gets injured while Forshaw is off...seems common sense to me

Unbelievable to think White has only played at League 1 & 2 level.

He reminds me of Ferdinand too in fact I made that comparison after his Leeds debut

I truly believe along with Kalvin, Ben will play for England our only defensive players who will hold their own in the premiership !

Bielsa for me too stubborn in the lineups, said it loads of times before. Does all of this analysis on opposition sides and yet we play the same eleven with the same formation and game plan week in week out. Still dominating sides totally, you feel we're just a few tweaks away from running away with the league.
agreed a few tweaks here and there we won't be far away.
a quality clinical striker and we've would have won this league at christmas.

Positives

Our first-half performance, some lovely football.
We battered them.
Kalvin Phillips a masterclass once again
Ben White so calm & cool at the back, hard to believe he has only played at League 1&2 level
Stuart Dallas, where have these performances come from, SD is like a new quality signing.
We didn't lose the game
We're still top of the league
Kalvin having a word with a tw*t at the bottom of the kop who was having a go at him. (of all our players)

Negatives

Final 30 minutes of the 2nd half.
How we can contrive to draw a game we should have won easily is beyond comprehension.
Lost total control, cohesion & rhythm of our play, even then Derby were poor.
Missed chances.
Bamford's feeble lob.
Klich's penalty.
Poor crossing
We got worse after the substitutions.
Douglas on for Pablo, bizarre!
Nketiah should be getting more than ten minutes.

Ratings

6.5 Casilla
8.0 Dallas

We've bombed 7 points and yet we're top, I think it shows how poor this league is. There doesn't look to be a Norwich or Blunts who will win every week this season. It's really now or never, if we can't go up now, we never will. Bielsa's stubbornness and refusal to drop players will cost us promotion imo.

my only doubt if the kid can play the lone striker role . tbh , imo hes first touch isn't great but agree he should be given a chance now . give the kid a run of games and lets see what he can do .

You beat me to it Leic, he's not a 9, he needs to play with one. Might get slated for this but think a lot will be disappointed in him, if he's given the lone striker role for an entire game.

Not me mate, Eddie wasn't as effective when he started v Stoke in the cup, we couldn't hold or retain the ball up top, consequently Stoke scored two twice before half-time, admittedly we played a weaken line-up
