Needs to stop making the same ludicrous square pegs mistake Bielsa kept making.

Me too mate I'm not confident, whatsover.

We can't defend
We can't score.
Our players are so inconsistent
We struggle to pass a ball five yards, especially under pressure
Square pegs in round holes still exists.
We have internationals who don't want to be at Leeds.
Raphinha, Rodrigo, Koch, Firpo & Llorente have all spent time on the bench because of their poor form, even though we've had so many players unavailable.

If Norwich score first, we'll be dead & gone.

Why question Cjay's opinion, Kenny?

Does it matter how long he's been watching football?

Cjay is a young man, unlike us old farts.

I reckon Cjay has been watching football fifteen to twenty years, enough time to form an opinion,

To be fair, he's correct.

Ayling RB and Cresswell at CH if fit, DJ to wing, PB up front with JG, drop rodders and lazy harrison.
We are so much stronger with LA at right back dashing down t' wing feeding Rapha.
This is a must win game.

Certainly the biggest game since promotion.

Surely Marsch won’t play the same starting line up? ( Firpo excepted).

If he does how is a change of manger justified. OK, we don’t go man to man anymore, but any more of the infamous square pegs in round holes situations and we will lose the game and a good possibility of losing our Premiership status.

Ayling at right back and Rodrigo on the bench please.

You're totally wrong, he posts some interesting stuff and i just want to know has he only been a leeds fan since the Prem was formed, a 21yo would have only been watching the 'modern' game, and it's speed. It's a genuine question.

Since regaining our top flight status our record v either last seasons final bottom 3 or this seasons current bottom 3 is W9 D1 L0. GF 24 GA 9
MB’s methods certainly worked against the dross, even this season. I do hope Marsch continues the trend.

Correct, that's why i ask, i'm 57 and have obviously seen the game change a helluva lot.

Why you taking this as derogatory? I'm interested in a 21yo view of the game, we used to be glued to 'Kick off' and MOTD highlights,

The youngsters today have had access to a LOAD more live games via Sky etc than we ever had.

Our defence is shambolic and something seems rotten in the squad since the year began, so there will be. No "Marsch-ing on together" here.
Id like to see gelhardt and bamford up front. Especially while pats still building minutes again, but fear even if it was strujk, llorente and koch we'd sttuggle to tame pukki and rashica.
Hope im wrong, but im predicting 2-1 with pukki and rashica to score.

Welcome Jaydog, be careful what you write, some here are quite touchy and easily offended, you can call me anything you like i have the skin of a Rhino and don't take things to bed with me or cry like a baby, always remember it's a post from someone that could be an imposter and supports Scum or the like, i think there's a few here.

But make sure your footy posts are good coz i'll rip them to bits very harshly, please don't take this personally coz there's no personal offence intended, if you're a soft c@nt block me now.

Again, welcome to the site, i've only been here myself a few weeks and quite like it, there are quite a lot of shite opinions but the good ones make it worth sifting through them.

:shirtw: We're mainly all United, let's hope we can stay up, btw, i think we're fcked.

For a 57 year old man, it's embarrassing the way conduct yourself on hereand belittle others. No wonder they wanted you out of TSB, unfortnately now we're stuck with you.

Wrong, the vote went in my favour coz of the multiple alias the 'BIG 4' have, that's you, hee haw, Walt and that other dummy i can't care to remember.

And don't be embarrassed, it's just an honest post.

I've been like this since my twenties, always say it as it is and how i see it, no political correctness here chum.

You're not stuck, just block me ( you won't)

ANYHOW! PLEASE KEEP THE THREAD ON TOPIC :)
