Not a bad idea, James did well at wingback on Sat.
Would swap Bate for Klich though.

Wtf have we done to ourselves.
Here’s a quote for you on Mr Bielsa, not my words the words of one Stan collymore

Hearing from Leeds fans right now tells me so many of them have disappeared down the rabbit hole of the cult of personality that I find it, frankly, astonishing.

He did 95 per cent of the damage in that time by not going into games with a system of play which could give his side a chance to get enough points on the board and keep goal difference at a level that, in the squeaky bum time of the season, would mean they could still be competitive.

“He just kept trying to thrill and saying ‘This is the way I play’. But that makes Bielsa fundamentally a very poor manager in this day and age, and as a result the man brought in to sort out his mess has been left with a woefully green squad which only knows how to play one way.”

Yes, I've always believed that out of this run of games against the top 4 clubs, the Chelsea game is an opportunity to pick up at least a point.

I've also read that from the Daily Mirror, conclusion : he's not a fcking clue what he's on abart and finding something to fill his column inches and generate a reaction from the likes of yourself.

Hey don’t shoot the messenger was just trying to give you some perspective from a neutral source. There is some sense to it though, he didn’t exactly leave us in a good position squad wise, not all his fault of course - whether he went when he did or in the summer that fact wouldn’t change.

Hopefully get us on the front foot further up the field that team. If Coops not fit Pascal to come in as he's decent at set-pieces aswell. Bate for me over Klich. Altho i do believe Klich could do a job further forward instead of Rodrigo. Flick a coin between them two both are weak in defence but have certain creative qualities.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Meslier . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

James . .KP . . . . Bate . . . . . . Klich . . . Firpo
. . . . . . . . . Raph . . . . . . Gelhardt. . . . . ..

I don't see him dropping Firpo and Harrison was so careless on the ball vs Arsenal and gave it away so much I'd drop him.

James has the pace and energy to be a wing back and it was as a wing back with a back 3 that Firpo made his name at Betis so hopefully it helps him to.

Bate and KP can easily sit and hold and Klich can be more attacking as he likes to do. That being said I very much doubt Bate will start unfortunately.

It also limits the defensive responsibilities Raph has and gives him the opportunity to do his damage up the pitch.

Joffy doesn't deserve to be dropped because of Ayling either.

Bate deserves a start and leave Joffy up front.

If JM reverts back to James up front I’m done with him.

We need goals mr manager.

I still think joffy is still too young and raw to start a huge game like tomorrow, use him as an impact sub for now
