They will be up for this SU. A result against us and the fans will forgive them. Its never going to happen tho in my opinion. They are where they are because they are the worst side in the league and they have lost their talisman......Wilder not Sharp.
All this talk of a full strength defence has got me excited about another clean sheet. Why not kick them when they are down. 4-0 to the best side in Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire....Your going home in a Yorkshire Ambulance, not bad that, save me a few bob.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Despite their position, Sheffield U have rarely been hammered this season so I expect a tough game and a slender win.

I agree.
I don't think it will be the hammering some are expecting despite them having several injuries.
As long as we win, that's all that matters.

I had typed out a nice long response, but i deleted it as i know now trying to change your mind is a pointless exercise.faaip wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 5:31 pm Christiansen was the fraud. Absolute w**ker of a manager..I don't doubt Heck is a s**t manager but you cannot judge him from his time here, he got a team with Klich banished to Holland, Saiz playing angry and suspended, a team so unfit it was dead by half time, attitude stank, and it seemed everyone had given up. He had no pre season, no chance to bring on his own players, no time to establish any youth and he probably knew he'd be gone in 3 months ...I know I couldn't work under those circumstances but he at least got us fitter and a touch more cohesive... That post Christmas LUFC was probably the lowest point for the club since relegation to Lg 1 ...
..and I didn't want to stir that up again, it was bad enough a the time but you did make a daft statement I felt compelled to answer
All i will say is Hecky always appears on our worst manager polls, if he doesnt win he is always without fail top 3.
Hibs fans and Barnsley fans dont rate him at all and have similar complaints to most of our fans when he was here.
Poor tactics, no discernable style of play, boring football, failure to take responsibility and in their cases dreadful recruitment (can check that dont have to take my word for it).
And the man is u23 manager at Sheffield United for a reason, he couldn't get a first team managers job anymore until Blades got desperate.
My daft statement as you put it at least got you to admit Heck was a "s**t manager" so it wasnt a total waste of time.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Must say I'm very excited that PL (and by virtue "us") are back playing tomorrow after what seems like a pre-season long international break. Not expecting a hammering by us either and expect it to be a narrow win to us. After all, this is the last throw of the dice for the Blunts, as to lose against us, then staying in the PL will be a tough ask.
FWIW, I would stick with Llorente and Struijk at the back for this game but look at playing Koch in a back three for the height, with Dallas and Ayling at wingback and KP anchoring mid.
Le Meslier
Llorente Koch Struijk
Ayling Dallas
KP
Rapha Rodrigo Harrison
Bamford
Llorente or Koch could step out a bit when we're in possession to help secure the midfield and anchor it.

Our next game is on Amazon Prime. I've already used the one-month free subscription, but found I can sign up for a 7 day subscription for 99p. You need to use a different email address and probably delete cookies on your computer, so Amazon thinks you're new. Other than that, it worked for me.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
I like the look of that team Lumi, no point us complaining about lack of defensive height and then leaving our 6ft 4 CB on the bench. Shame for Coops, but if it doesn't work it might benefit him in the long run, if it does he's got a fight on his hands.Lumiukko wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 6:52 pm Must say I'm very excited that PL (and by virtue "us") are back playing tomorrow after what seems like a pre-season long international break.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Absolutely Dave, my thinking entirely. We know already what Heck is going to try doing and that is upset us with aerial balls from crosses and set pieces. It's not a sleight on Coops, I just think we need Koch and Struijks height and physicality, and the adaptability to use both when bringing the ball out. It would be too defensive to go with Coops in a back three given we'r eplaying bottom of the table, so we need that ability to ball play when we have it. I still think Klich needs a rest and would start Rodrigo who might be better at helping to unpick what could be a defensive block at the start from the Blades. However, they need to start getting points so should allow us at times to get behind them.Carrick Dave wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 9:25 pm I like the look of that team Lumi, no point us complaining about lack of defensive height and then leaving our 6ft 4 CB on the bench.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Oliver Burke is probably their biggest threat if you can call it that. He's quick and strong and gets a few goals.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Getting a result against us it will give the SU fans a bit of compensation for being relegated so I’ve no doubt it will be a difficult game. There are no easy games in this league (apart from the West Brom game of course) but a nice win here will set us up for the tough run of games coming up.
Come on Leeds!

Three points here would be useful.
Our next three games are difficult fixtures:
MCI (A)
LIV (H)
MUN (H)

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Totally agree SaraM.
There is something peculiarly obnoxious about both Sheffield clubs. I’ve seen some of the ravings of their fans on their forum about their more impressive roll of honour, how we are crooks and cheats - it’s quire bizarre and completely deranged. I’ve also seen the pro Turkish club posts too - just vile.
I also recall how within minutes of their promotion being confirmed two years ago, the players, who had watched the results fall for them in their stadium like Leeds did last year, we’re off singing Leeds are falling apart again - led by that clown Sharp.
If we were to thrash a team before end of this season, I’d take it today. They are horrible and at least we won’t be meeting them for a very very long time again.

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
So nice to have a game to look forward to, feels like it's been forever!
I expect a tight match since they should be fighting for their lives. It would be very satisfying to win convincingly and help seal their relegation. C'mon boys!

Re: Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread
Got the Cooper and Alioski starting right, clearly Roberts Welsh infraction doesn't bother MB, it almost looks like he's cementing his place over Rodrigo and he's has been in great form recently
