Re: Leeds Utd v Manchester City Match Thread
After tomorrow we see the end of the phoney war, honeymoon period call it what you will.
We will have played the two best sides along with two we should be beating if we are to survive.
After that comes the ones who we should see as our direct rivals. Wolves, Villa, Leicester, Palace.
So enjoy the lack of pressure Leeds, apart from the Cuisance fiasco it has been feel good factor all the way since the resumption.
It won't last much longer I expect.

City put out a full strength team on Wednesday didn't they ? In which case I think they are going to struggle to match our energy levels for 90 + mins. Hopefully this will be the deciding factor.

Looking forward to a great game today. A free hit, as most people are saying, time to kick back and enjoy it stress-free!

Absolutely, but with the proviso...if we find ourselves a goal in front with not long to go, the stress will be theremothbanquet wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:29 am Looking forward to a great game today. A free hit, as most people are saying, time to kick back and enjoy it stress-free!

2 wins in the last 2 games, as certainly taken the pressure off. My big concern today is Sterling's pace.mothbanquet wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:29 am Looking forward to a great game today. A free hit, as most people are saying, time to kick back and enjoy it stress-free!

Re: Leeds Utd v Manchester City Match Thread
My biggest fear too. He's also proven quite adapt at the false 9 role in the past, which some believe he'll be used in here considering their lack of a proper striker at the moment. De Bruyne is imo the best pure midfielder in the country, contender for best in the world but I think our constant press will disrupt him to a degree. Sterling, not so much.

Wonder if he'll try to man mark him with Dallas, following him everywhere.mothbanquet wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 9:02 am My biggest fear too.

Re: Leeds Utd v Manchester City - MATCH THREAD
Would be a blow but we've got some serious cover in Llorente and Strujik. Would prefer the latter's knowledge and experience of the system in this game though.

Re: Leeds Utd v Manchester City - MATCH THREAD
I hope not, definately want to see Coop's and Koch get a few uninterrupted games... if true,at least it's not the disaster now of days of yore, with Llorente, nice to think we still have another international player to make the pair, with further depth in Struijk yet... I still stand by my earlier in the week prediction, I still have that feeling that Costa and Rodrigo are going to be unstoppable today...
