The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 24th February) Leeds concede six in midweek defeat

[White Riot]

I didn't sleep at all well last night, still awake at 3am in the morning

Me neither

This was just one humiliation too many.

The others at the bottom are scrapping for their lives and grinding out results.

Our lads just look like they're going through the motions to me.

We've as much as energy and belief as two 90 year olds shagging

Can we PLEASE try Raphinha as an attacking midfielder and put Dan James on the right wing?
At least try it Marcelo.

Meslier
Ayling Llorente Struijk Firpo
Koch
James Raphinha Forshaw Harrison
Rodrigo

Raphinha would create way more chances in the CAM role than Rodrigo does and this would also pull Dan James away from the striker role he seems shackled to.

Its time to at least consider different options.

But where did the extra minutes of extra extra time come from

Does it matter ?
Actually only 1 minute extra, but the 2 minutes put up is only a guide, proper embarrassing conceding 2 in time added on at any level.

[White Riot]

At the moment I would go with:
Meslier
Ayling Cresswell Struijk Firpo
Forshaw Dallas Bate
Raphinha Gelhardt James

So would I, but he won’t.

Agree apart from Firpo i would play Leo

I think Hjelde is out for a bit

[Johnboy1965]

I don't think he'll change the team.
He has a team that's his plan A and he'll keep doing it until it works, by which time we'll be down.

It's like a kid repeatedly putting his hand in the fire to see if it's hot.

Doubt that we'll win another game all season playing this way.

If Burnley can beat spurs, so can Leeds don't give up .

Where's that fighting spirit of the English Championship that the lads had? Force it out of them.

Make Elland Road a bear pit!!!.

[Orange Box]

For weeks we’ve had posters saying there are three teams worse than us, so we’ll be okay.

Right now I’d like someone to tell me who those three teams are, cos I can’t see them.

[Cjay]

Paulo Fonseca was linked to the Leeds job today.

He has far more important things on his mind.

Burnley are a physical strong team with big defenders, they know how to grind out a draw or however ugly get a win. and unfortunately they way we are playing you cannot see where our next victory is coming from its frightening. Also although spurs have been playing really poor lately i dont see us getting a result against them son, kane, moura etc are more than capable of causing total panic in our defense. but would love to be wrong.

Burnley, Watford, Norwich.

[John in Louisiana]

So very grateful I had to work yesterday and couldn't watch the game.

We'll be very fortunate to stay up this year.

Gutted by the result.

I was one and I haven’t gone into hiding.
Incidentally - Are they sending you out to the Ukraine as the modern day version of Vera Lynn.
There are two options currently - 1/ be a total defeatist or 2/ have a modicum of hope.

Yeah we were shite last night and have been on a number of occasions. I still think there are at least three teams worse than us. The problem we have is what psychological impact losing heavily will have on the players. Belief is essential and for the first time I witnessed players seemingly devoid of it at the end last night.

But it is Bielsa or bust - there will not be a change so as a fan you have to get behind the team.

[Orange Box]

Burnley, Watford, Norwich.

ok.
Burnley last four games; Spurs 1-0 win, Brighton 3-0 win away, Liverpool 0-1 away defeat (how did we do there?), Scum 1-1. So I don't get that one. Burnley are perennial relegation dodgers and know how to survive.
Watford: possibly, but they beat Villa away 1-0. 8 goals conceded in last 5 games. How are we better than that?
Norwich: two wins and a draw in last 5 games.
Leeds: one draw in last 5 league games. 17 goals conceded in last 5 games.

I admire your optimism but sadly not your logic, we are in rapid freefall.

We're all behind the team makes you wonder what the players are thinking have some given up. Because we are too predictable at the moment and the opposition go through us like a hot knife through butter. Guess man u and Liverpool were expected defeats. We will see if they have got a fight in them against spurs.
