Leeds United v Hull City - MATCH THREAD - Bielsa makes eleven changes

[andrewjohnsmith]

As faaip alluded, the youngsters will hardly have played since March and as such it was a big mistake to throw so many in, even if it is only Hull.
With 8 league less to play this season we should be looking for a cup run.
Still time to turn it around but a defeat will be embarrassing.

I agree with making many changes. But I think it was 2 too many

Surprised its Casey and not Cresswell. Thought Casey was slight ahead in the pecking order

Casey playing DM rather than CB

Struijk playing in front of a Creswell, Davis CB partnership now

[Cjay]

Poveda looking lively and creative now.

[YorkshireSquare]

And some of our fans think they good enough to play in the Premier League

We've made 11 changes, we wont make 11 changes in the Premier League but individuals may come in and step up

[SG90]

No reason not to put out a strong team, minus Pablo perhaps. All we have is 38 games, no Europe. We must put out a strong team in the FA Cup now, no excuses.

[SG90]

Poveda is so classy on the ball.

So now we are a premier league side we make eleven changes & treat the cups with contempt

[White Riot]

Just back from a meal, missed the first half

WTF is going on

You should have had a second serving, dessert and then coffee.

Bielsa's put out a Mickey Mouse team who are looking like this is the first time they've ever seen a football.

Absolute pants mate, poor show by Bielsa this.

Yeah. But in terms of playing for first team, we've always seen Casey on the bench first. So I'm surprised he didn't put Casey at the back in the 2nd half

[White Riot]

Poveda is so classy on the ball.

True, but when he made that run Rodrigo was free on the penalty spot waiting for a pull back that didn't happen.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Poveda is so classy on the ball.

Great run. Final ball has been off a couple of times

[White Riot]

No reason not to put out a strong team, minus Pablo perhaps. All we have is 38 games, no Europe. We must put out a strong team in the FA Cup now, no excuses.

Exactly, I'm baffled as to why Koch is not playing here?

[andrewjohnsmith]

Roll the dice now. Harrison and Bamford on for Cresswell and Douglas

[Cjay]

no shots on target, get Doulgas and Roberts off for Harrison and Bamford.

[White Riot]

No reason not to put out a strong team, minus Pablo perhaps. All we have is 38 games, no Europe. We must put out a strong team in the FA Cup now, no excuses.

Most of our first team still needs match fitness. These guys can get that in the under 23s.

I don't get Bielsa's logic here at all?

[YorkshireSquare]

So now we are a premier league side we make eleven changes & treat the cups with contempt

We've not had an ideal pre-season, lack of proper conditioning can lead to injuries, we've already got out first choice centre back with a knock and an important game where we need to get three points

[Cjay]

The lack of depth is a concern.

[YorkshireSquare]

The lack of depth is a concern.

We've known that for two years, but we also know Bielsa is unlikely to change

I think we need another attacking midfield option, need someone who can pull the strings like Pablo

[andrewjohnsmith]

He doesnt care about winning. Would have made attacking changes by now if he did
