That`s very true.
I was sort of meaning Bielsa might not necessarily drop players out of form and Rodgers might be able to pick players who missed tonights game.
Think I better leave it there as I`m not even convincing myself!

So still no Bamford, Koch or Ayling. No confirmation on Firpo or Shackleton

The San Francisco 49ers have increased their stake in LUFC to 44%. Poor Marty

I think Firpo was fit last week but Bielsa has left him out still. I don't think he;s settled that well looking at it. might be wrong though.

Bamford is a concern, he's been out absolutley ages. We're not as good without him that's for sure. Rodrigo just doesn;t have the legs.

I want to kill myself! Of all the teams in the world to invest in they choose that one. The York family should hang their heads in shame!! Lol

Presume they will move up to 49% next to allow current owner to stay in charge a bit longer before taking the majority ownetship. The one thing the Yorks will bring is investment in community projects and education which in my opinion is something Leeds Utd are very poor at and need to do much more for the city.

Dean Smith now sacked as Villa manager.
Good to see Harrison and James have kept their place after some resounding performances lately.
Surely today is the day for them both to shine?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Nov 07, 2021 1:55 pm  

I think it's a harsh sacking, although he's had more money to spend than anyone outside of Man city, Chelsea and MU, so I suppose it isn't surprising.
Farke being sacked is also harsh, I think. Who else is going to take that job?!

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Nov 07, 2021 2:36 pm  

Very harsh on Smith imo. Done a very good job. I’d have thought they’d have given him until Xmas at least

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Nov 07, 2021 2:55 pm  

Both very strange sackings.
Norwich get their first win and they sack the coach.
Think both should have stayed until Xmas.
Back on the LU team selection.
How does Roberts get on the bench ahead of Gelhardt and why play Dallas at RB when Drameh can slot in there?
I have my fingers crossed Bielsa has got it right as some very strange team selections going on here.
