Southampton v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Harrison, Roberts and Struijk in for Phillips, Raphinha and Firpo

[WhiteRose]

In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was twenty-six
On the Leeds bench he is nineteen
Oonnnnnn Leeds bench, he is nineteen
N-n-n-n-nineteen

Got to love match day team announcements, couple of main players out and it's all doom and gloom and slagging off of the team that MB himself picks because he knows the best players available and what they are capable of.

Would be a nice change for once to read some positive comments about certain players pre match. Roberts might play a blinder, James might run the opposition ragged while having a few assists, JH may show the form and skill we all know he's capable of.

Support your team no matter who MB picks and wait on the final result before destroying (again) the players you don't like.

I agree with some of that, but you can't deny that we have a paper thin squad. No Raph, no Firpo, no Philip's, no Ayling and no Bamford, the backbone of our squad. Whether or not the players replacing them today are up to it....now is their time to prove it!

So will this be Roberts up top or Rodrigo

I think Roberts is meant to be our playmaker, Radz got the name on his "new signing" tweet wrong

Not sure how to react to the lineup. Trepidation mixed with hope that the likes of Roberts, Shacks and Rodrigo can finally hit some high notes throughout the course of the game. Clearly the lack of goals amongst the starters is a worry. I have no doubt we will create but we could do with an early goal to settle the nerves. It will be interesting to see what, if any subs MB makes. Foreshaw aside that must be the youngest bench in EPL history. Couldn’t make it to this game been working pretty much none stop for weeks now. Will have to try and find a snide stream.

The consolation is Saints fans will be thinking the exact same thing about their team so we are in with a shout.

They would've been to young to be called up for Nam

I just hope we get out of this game with something.

What’s wrong with Firpo? Seems like all new players goe through some mandatory period of injuries.

I agree the squad is paper thin but it is what it is. He plays with whats available and yes, what's available isn't the quality we all would like but this is leeds, when is anything done the easy way. At some point the 2nd string has to step up and show quality, today just may be the day.

Have faith, we've just had 16 years in the wilderness, enjoy the ride

So we've got Firpo, Koch, Ayling, Phillips, Bamford injured and Rapha knackered.

Yet, amazingly Forshaw is "fit"

[White Riot]

Bate should at least be on the bench

Forshaw is our lynchpin...greatly missed in the treatment room

I found a stream through my go to site - totalsportek - decent stream as well. Out comes the band for Southampton - hopefully it will be the only time they get to sing.

[WhiteRose]

See what paraud is like, can’t of been doing much since this is his first start in 4 games.

It will be Roberts with Rodders as a 10, Mb is obsessed with making that work for Rodrigo.

Maybe they ran out of beds and had to carry him to the bench
