Jack Harrison vs Traore . Dear oh dear
I still cannot believe Ollie got sent off, I am not saying what he did was not wrong. But tonight the players from Chelsea and Man U were continually simulating.
I hope we can do a number on both Spurs and Chelsea. Going to be tough without Cash, Mings and an unfit Grealish
I think it would safe to assume we will finish the season with the current points tally. 2 games for the youngsters to be given a chance but it won't happen.
Traore is moving to right-back? That's a bigger shock than the Kenny Swain switch in 1979!Jack Harrison vs Traore . Dear oh dear
I think Leeds would utterly capitulate if/when Bielsa goes. He's not the second-coming of Jesus as some would suggest, but he's imprinted a style and method that would be impossible to replicate. He'd probably get more credit from the neutral if the media would stop their love-fest....Sheffield United have such a good manager and their players are so much better than ours.
Just correcting a post that summed up a few feelings from this time last year from some .
Let’s keep the Leeds jizz firmly contained until they start walking the walk for at least another season.
I'll have you know that I never gave eight year old players a chance when I was coaching Under-10s.... "Go back to your own age group you cheeky little git!"Here we go again . Under 10’s football giving players a ‘chance‘ mentality.

Too many things to respond to in one post CDX! In paragraph order:Thats how I feel. He has a bunch of lads playing like they're 10ft. tall, some will revert to the mean and others will continue their form. I don't know what Leeds' mgmt structure is like. Are they really planning 2 to 3 years out or is it next season? Not many teams are going to be able to pivot and execute as Brighton did.
I look at the perennial survivors and say it's only a matter of time. Palace, Burnley, and Newcastle with aging squads and a stone-age way of playing. Leeds and Wolves placing a lot of faith in "guru's and old masters". Those are 5 teams that could easily not be in the league 5 years from now never mind pushing for Europe.
IMO Leicester's success is based around executing a longer-term strategy and the reason City has been so successful is that they've built a long-term plan too. They've been building that club for Pep for a lot of years.
We got two massive strokes of luck to be where we are considering the mismanagement and short-term planning. Its possible it was coincidental but our first season in the EPL looked like squad building for seasons ahead no matter the outcome. I feel like we bought well with the anticipation we might go down but return immediately and far stronger. We got lucky and it would seem to me we again bought lads who would grow and get better.
Even Sanson for me was bought with the future in mind and not to sustain our short-term goals. Playing Ramsey now isn't a sign of our intent for next season but further down the road. Of course, I could be getting 5 from adding 2+2. Maybe its just wishful thinking. For a club like ours it would be tempting to think really short term because we've got Grealish and his presence demands success sooner than maybe we're planning.
18th in the form guide let's try and at least avoid being 20th after these two games . Very poor 2021 .
Here we go again . Under 10’s football giving players a ‘chance‘ mentality.
A chance for the youngsters to get mullered by one of the best sides in Europe going for securing a champs league spot and Spurs who are still no slouches and going for Europe with Harry Kane and Bale to pick . Naive in the extreme and easy to say typing on a keyboard and not being accountable for an elite sports club and team . Will do more harm than good for the players and the club getting battered two games in a row.
And by saying plural are you genuinely suggesting that we should throw several youngsters in together away at Spurs and home to Chelsea. Good god, carnage .
