Leeds Utd v Sheffield Utd Match Thread - Liam Cooper returns in place of Pascal Struijk

[HarryofOz]

Did they ditch that old pine one and replace it with oak then

That's what I was referring too.

[The Subhuman]

That's what I was referring too.

Thought so, can't beat English Oak

[Ron Swanson]

Bielsa clearly doesn’t rate Hernandez or Rodrigo if he’s picking that cart horse in front of them.

He’s f**king league one level.

Interesting

Roberts escapes the usual disciplinary act
Cooper walks straight back into the team.
Our most physical & best header of the ball CB omitted.
Three class players on the bench

Lets hope it pans out well.

[Fridge]

Not completely happy with that lineup, especially if Bielsa is planning to go for his usual 3 at the back.


My lineup would have been:


Meslier
Ayling Koch Struijk Llorente Dallas
Phillips
Raphinha Rodrigo Harrison
Bamford


Don't think Struijk deserves to be dropped at all, not really put a foot wrong in the last few games.


If he plays Ayling at CB with Koch and Struijk on the bench then I'm completely lost for words.

[Ron Swanson]

It’s the sort of thing Bielsa would do.

Especially as there will be plenty of hoof today

[whiteswan]

Would have liked struijk to have kept his place, he deserves to. But I'm not surprised he's been dropped, Bielsa is very loyal to certain players.....rightly or wrongly. We shall see

[Cjay]

Not sure id have dropped Struijk for Cooper tbh.

Mcburnie and Mcgoldrick are two snails but they are both big and strong, Cooper is not and can be bullied.

Surprised to see Roberts hasnt been disciplined by Bielsa.

[Cjay]

One positive is Blades have to play without wingers, it limits their options.

The squad is geared towards Wilder's 3-5-2, they havent got any wingers.

[1964white]

That is our strongest bench of the season.

Not our strongest first X1 though!

Two players with much more quality were totally disciplined.

Glad I went conservative with my score prediction

That's a lovely gesture of respect. It's another sign of how well the club's being run from top to bottom that the history of the club is being honoured in such a way. Radz and the team understand the culture here, a mirror opposite of say Newcastle.

Robert's didnt wrong Bielsa though.....

[HarryofOz]

Robert's didnt wrong Bielsa though.....

Precisely

[Carrick Dave]

Afternoon troops, no excuses if we lose today, virtually everyone fit. I think Struijk should be playing too, hopefully we’ll see Rodrigo from half time.
