Leeds Utd v Burnley Match Thread

[White Riot]

Working for thisen. Will be doing my best to avoid the score so i can watch it when i finish at 5pm. Lets hope the pitch holds up Burnley will love it if it doesn't. It looked terrible last time we were at home. Up the Whites.

Yeah, that would be a leveller for them lot if it's a mudbath. Dyche will be telling them to take extra water bottles out and douse this pitch

As I remember, it was whooring down when Leicester beat us, right up Vardy's street

[White Riot]

With Diego Llorente at the back I doubt Burnley will even get a sniff of a goal.

Whereas Burnley are amongst the teams sweating for PL survival, Leeds are doing very well so far.

I like your confidence BF, Burnley are in form lately though, 8 points from their last 12, not to be sniffed at. I think we'll beat them. But I'll be getting worried if we lose this match

[White Riot]

I’d hope that he’ll start with Struijk & Llorente at CB.

If he isn’t going to pick Llorente with Cooper & Koch out, we might as well see if his former club will take him back.

Hey Ron,
I'd go with Ayling, Llorente, Struijk and Davis at the back, but only if Llorenete is fit, as we can't afford to lose hime by aggravating an injury.

Bielsa is his own man though and might easy go with: Dallas, Ayling, Davis and Alioski

I don't mind who he plays as long as they're fit, play well and get us a win

[Allrounder]

I know Meslier is still very young and raw and don't want to put any additional preassure on him but since we are crap in set-pieces he has to be a bit more proactive and get out and punch the ball away if possbile. Llorente and Struijk's heights should help but still need Meslier's assistance.

Llorente not even on the bench.
Struijk in for Cooper.
No other changes.

That's strange. I am sure I read somewhere that Bielsa said Llorente was ready to play this game. Anyways if he is not fit, it's probably wise to let him recover fully. The schedule is very tough so his time will come.

Their form has indeed picked up since Tarkovski returned from injury, but they're not the sort of team to go on a 5 game unbeaten run. I think we'll get the run of the luck for a change.

On the plus side, 3 points today will get us halfway to guaranteed survival!

[mothbanquet]

I think we've got enough to run the midfield today, snuff out their service. There's enough quality in our attack to get a couple of goals.

WOOD and BARNES upfront... arrrrrrghhhhh

Very dangerous game this. 3 on the bench with hardly any first team experience shows the weakness of the squad. It might ONLY be Burnley but they have shown recently they are beginning there annual climb up the league and should not be taken lightly.... defence beware. !

Missed a lot of football has Llorente, eight games on average over the past two seasons

What seems to be interesting about that line up for us is Dallas listed as the LB and Alio as the Right...Have they changes sides or just an error ?

Think they have done that every week

Lazy on the part ofthe person doing them I think, just change two boxes rather than three

[1964white]

At long last Pascal gets his chance in his accustom role since his CB debut at Anfield

Would prefer Struijk playing alongside Cooper, Koch or Llorente, unfortunately that is not possible right now!

I would rather have seen either Gelhardt or Greenwood on the bench. Not sure why we need Casey, Jenkins and Davis all on the bench at the same time to be honest.

Thought it was usually Dallas listed first but could be wrong

Unbelievable bad luck to have three senior CB's all injured at the same time.

Especially in a season where we're trying to form a new partnership there. Think this partnership 5 or 6 on a very young season
