Leeds Utd v Crewe Alex Match Thread - Marcelo Bielsa names strong XI, Forshaw starts first game since 2019

[Lumiukko]

Decent team that. Should be plenty good enough to put Crewe to the sword. Surprised to see Harrison start but perhaps MB feels he isn't still quite 100% sharp. Looks like we will get to see Summerville and Cresswell at some point as I cant see Harrison and one of Struijk/Llorente playing the full 90.

[The Subhuman]

Harrison for Summerville at some point I hope. Then Costa to the left

[Irish Ian]

Wow Bielsa puts out a proper team in a cup comp, whatever next?

Maybe we're that skint we need to win it?

I think winning the Carabou costs you money

[Lumiukko]

Subs likely to be (is it still 3 subs max for a cup comp?)

Summerville for Harrison
Cresswell for Llorente/Struijk (whoever will play at the weekend will be subbed out)
Klaesson for Meslier (no point risking Meslier for the full 90)

If 5 subs, perhaps Dallas in for Phillips too at some stage.

[White Riot]

You're probably right

At least the lads will get a few free cans of Carabou to go with the cans of Boost

[White Riot]

Maybe with us looking a bit rusty in the first two matches Bielsa wants to give the lads some match time.

Or with a full house maybe he felt the obligation to field a strong team.

Looks like the young UN's will have to wait their turn.

Bearing in mind the U23's played yesterday with Summerville & McGurk playing only 45 minutes I expect both to feature at some stage of the game.

Possible line-up :

Meslier

Shackleton, Struijk, Cooper, Firpo,

Phillips

Summerville, Roberts, Forshaw, Costa,

Rodrigo

Apart from Llorente (what a nice surprise) & Harrison that is the team I predicted

[Scoobychief]

very worrying to see the name Roberts starting a game yes i know its only caraboa but still a worry and even more of a worry to see the Forshaw in the line up, so know we know that no quality midfielders will be bought in and the 3 amigos from the bench for the premier league will be Roberts, forshaw, shack or costa

[Irish Ian]

Are you not going to the game Leon?

[1964white]

Two defensive midfielders against Crewe.

That's the formation we should be playing v the top 6 PL clubs.

I stopped going to cup games after witnessing too many fiasco's Ian

I think we have lost our last ten cup games, maybe more

[1964white]

Kalvin captain at long last

[1964white]

Apparently one my mates has just texted "I'm surrounded by 100's of f...king infants"

[Ellandback1]

I predict 4-1 win for Leeds.

Unfortunately we'll score an own goal on 42 minutes!
