Stuart Dallas

[The Subhuman]

White Bamford etc, but this guy has filled in all over the pitch and done a good job, an essential player for the squad, he’s been pretty remarkable,

Harrison, White, Phillips and Casilla for me. Dallas has done a great job covering several positions.

[mothbanquet]

Not many players would be second choice in their ideal position but also are practically undroppable from the match day squad. A living swiss army knife.

Certainly a lot of competition, but up until this point It would be Dallas for me, Harrison your number 1?

For his versatility he has done well relatively.

But his quality lacks especially in midfield and 2 goals (one of which was deflected ) have helped mask ineffective midfield displays from a player lacking the quality and technical ability to play cm.

I would have Dallas as right back but as a cm he is ineffective.

4 full games as a cm he has created 1 chance, people applaud him for his effort but only so long that can excuse a lack of spark in a key position especially given he has effectively replaced our most creative player.

Important for his versatility but overused imo.

Probably White at the moment but I've a feeling Harrison is going to light up the second half of the season more than he has the first...Technically an assist for the goal v WBA but that goes down to Paddy and his header which would have hit the corner flag had it not been for Ajayi.

He's put so many chances for Bamford on a platter he should have a lot more assists than the 7 he has.

He has been very good, I hope your right and he kicks on

[The Subhuman]

It kinda needs Bamford to improve his poor goals to chances ratio...but best player on the park on either side v WBA.

Phil Hay thinks Dallas picked up a bad injury.

He didnt look right tbf and hopefully if he has he comes back soon, been largely solid this season.

However!!!!!

I hope that this ends the ridiculous Dallas as a cm myth.

He has scored the odd goal but we need far more then energy in cm and that is generally what Dallas gives.

Hopefully he comes back soon but please no more cm games, he hasnt created a single goal and only i think about 2 chances as a cm, it needs to stop.

I agree and I think this is less to do with quality in the squad but MB's need to play the same players every game and to avoid any kind of experimentation and imagination..

[The Subhuman]

Wonder if we rush back Forshaw rather than let Shack acclimatize

Hernandez presumably?

Lord knows how long it will take Forshaw or Shacks to get match fit or Pablo for that matter or even whether any of those 3 will remain injury free long enough to get match fit.

[The Subhuman]

I don't like Pablo playing in the middle, think he's way more effective on the right. But then that's also Costa's space

Agreed.

If he is injured, how many of our midfielders have been injured this term?
Pablo
Dallas
Shacks
Forshaw
Roberts

Dallas took a right clattering, he could hardly walk at the end of the game. Unfortunately he couldn't go off & bravely carried on in pain we had already made all our subs (Alioski for Douglas a ridiculous wasted sub).

Why did Ben White play a suicidal pass to Dallas when everybody in the ground could see he could hardly walk let alone run? Of course their sub striker goes on to score with his first opportunity, must be nice having two strikers on the bench

[The Subhuman]

I wouldn't want that lump in our squad even if he did score..

[1964white]

We were keeping clean sheets playing Dallas as a LWB.

Either Pablo or Shackleton could have played alongside Klich today with Dallas taking his defensive duties up again

Those days are a thing of the past as I reckon Dallas is crocked now.

Bielsa probably prefers Douglas or Alioski there anyway. I'll say it again Alioski is not a decent championship defender

[1964white]

Better than having no alternative whatsoever. No defence will bully that lump about.

Lets stick with bringing on a 19yo kid who is wet behind the ears & nowhere near ready for first-team football

The irony is that LB was the one position we were saying we were oversubscribed in, so much so that Tom Pearce was moved on in the Summer.

Now it is a weakness...

[The Subhuman]

Actually I think I said pre season LWB looks suspect and shallow as did LW...Especially if Leif Davis can't get a game there.

Our last three big spends are Douglas Bamford and Costa?..not great is it? The amount you play for a player seemingly has little to do with the quality you get in this division

[BGwhite]

Reading this it seems Leeds are in a right old mess ATM but let's not be too concerned as I'm sure MB will have some shaped peg to fit all the holes vacated by the square pegs today in time for our next embarrassment...and quite frankly it has become an embarrassment. Arguably the biggest club in the division scratching around for a player to fill this hole and that hole and we're supposed to be going for promotion to the PL with one of the most respected coaches in the world. Not a single striker on the bench and barely a striker on the pitch with the Own Goals contributor fast becoming the first name on the team sheet if only there was a hole of a similar shape ! The anxiety will now have ratcheted up a notch or three just in time for another trip down to the old smoke and we all know what that means, another 90 mins of huff n puff with no additional points being added to the tally at the end of it and so it continues season in season out.
