Leeds (A) 19/10 Build-Up & Matchday Thread

I'd be very happy to stuff it up these tonight...they're a pretty arrogant bunch (fans)

I'm expecting a really tricky game tonight, we have the quality to beat them but we've not really clicked for a while.

I think we will play 343 but not sure which of our midfield 3 will start. Maybe Neves and Donk?

Would suspect that that is the right pairing for today.

Much as I love Moutinho think that he will be used more sparingly this season (especially as Neto can take the corners as there wasn't any obvious alternative to him before)

 

[carl0s]

Very much a must win game for me this.

 

[Jabbawolf]

Neves out, Moutinho in

 

[carl0s]

Line up looks a bit funky no?

 

[Tredman]

Saiss at LWB again..

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

What’s up with Ait-Nouri? Not fit?

 

[Tredman]

Travelled but not picked according to Tim. Otasowie ahead of Vintinha too.

 

[Jinky]

Ah man, Saiss at LWB when Marcal is available.

Odd call. Moutinho starting too - need a performance from him tonight.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Not a starting 11 that any of us would have predicted

 

[AndyWolves]

Marcal, Saiss and Kilman all in the squad but no Ait-Nouri.
That's just odd

 

[Alan]

Glad to see Kilman retain his place, and Moutinho + Dendoncker could work out well.

Still not convinced by having Neto drop into midfield but I suppose he at least has enough pace to keep up with their press.

 

[prawnking]

I imagine Marcal not quite fit and Ait-nouri... not ready?? Saiss considered a safer pair of hands perhaps. Not a huge fan of him there though.

Let's see what happens I guess. Need the front three to click tonight

 

[AndyWolves]

I prefer Neto and Podence starting with Adama coming off the bench

 

[BGreenWolf]

I’d guess this was predicated on the idea that Nuno felt he couldn’t drop Kilman, and Kilman only works in the formation if he has Saiss marshalling him at wingback.

 

[The Bear]

Tough game to throw RAN into considering how unique and aggressive Leeds' style is.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Watching Sky - what is going on with Jimmy Floyd's eyes. Look as if they are going to burst out of his head at any moment.

Don't think I have heard anything he's said as too transfixed by them.

As to the selection then Marcal only just back from injury & Ait Nouri still bedding into the squad which is presumably why Saiss gets the shirt

 

[Premier Quality]

Tough game to throw RAN into considering how unique and aggressive Leeds' style is.

Especially with only a couple of days training with the club.

I'd be surprised if Kilman is anywhere near 'undroppable' status yet!

I like Saiss as much as anyone, but let's be honest; it's a bit of an uninspiring bodge that we wouldn't have been thrilled with in the Champ. Hopefully it's very short-lived
