Not sure why you would need a couple of midfielders when Phillips and Forshaw are similar to Phillips and Rice. Is Phillips' injury a long term one?

Marty marty marty wrong again.
There`s never been a comparison to Forshaw and Rice`s ability.
The comparison is how they set up for England and Leeds.
Last time now, I suggested Phillips and Forshaw should be played the same way as Phillips and Rice do for England which is in front of the back 4.
There`s no need to keep suggesting it was said otherwise.
Now if you were to say there`s posters on here who feel many of the current squad are playing at a championship standard. Then you would be right on that one. Jack will back you up on that as he`s sick of me saying it.

I presume you guys are confident today?

In the last couple of weeks youve commented on the amount of internationals in your back 4, a midfield similar to Englands and a natural goalscorer up front along with a Brazilian superstar.

Arsenal surely dont have an earthly? Or are you guys over egging your 7-0 losing squad?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Dec 18, 2021 1:01 pm  

Looks like Cresswell is out injured now.
I would go with:
Messlier
Drameh, Ayling, Llorente, Dallas
Forshaw
James, Klich, Greenwood, Raphina
Roberts

Bring on Gelhardt and Summerville depending on the score second half.

I will leave others to comment on that one Marty.

Hi
I have been given an incomplete set of Leeds United football collectors cards.
They're 10.5 cm x 15 cm on really good quality card.
They date back to John Charles and go through the clubs eras like Jackie Charlton and Peter Lorrimer through David Batty Paul Robinson and Alfe Haaland.
There's 26 in total...i would just like them to go to a Leeds United fan.
Free of charge...I don't want to post them out. Collect from Otley.

Ayling is rumoured to be ill now, and James is injured. Koch is fit to play though.

Rumours that Saka and a couple of other Arsenal players have covid, so I wouldn't be surprised if they postponed the game. The Villa game is off as well now

What a farce.
I take it players have not been vaccinated?

A lot still haven't, but the vaccine doesn't stop you getting covid anyway, especially with omicron.

I can't believe that with the squad so thin at the moment, That Bielsa hasn't sent a few of the squad to the local nightclub to pick up a few covid cases

Last time he did that Liam Cooper decked Phillips. Hes unlikely to send them again.
