Leeds Utd 2-2 Newcastle Utd - Post Match Debate.

[weasel]

Gnonto dropped too, hate that

Hopefully just to keep him fresh, we stay in the game and he comes on with 20-30 left and runs at them.

[weasel]

He should listen to Warnock about how to fight relegation battles, Alladyce is making the classic mistakes and it just makes it much harder for us

Trouble is Warnock's record in the prem is abysmal and he is more of a promotion expert in the championship rather than avoiding relegation which is something Sam has become known for. Like you I don't like the trying not to lose mantra but can see the logic in not making it easy for the opposiiton to score and then hoping to nick a goal, probably why Greenwood has got the nod because our best chance to score ight be from a set piece.

I will nail my colours to the mast now rather than believing the line up might be genius.

Bamford and Rodrigo have never worked. No Gnonto - if he is injured fair enough, if he is fit and on the bench then he should be on the pitch, I would play him at wingback instead of Firpo.

I think this is a lineup placing all the hopes on the set piece. Newcastle are very strong defending the set piece.

Hope I am wrong but I am confused with the lineup.

[weasel]

Am guessing formation wise something along the lines of 532 / 541. Wober, RK and Koch as the back 3 with Firpo and Ayling giving us the width. Harrison, Greenwood and McKennie as a midfield 3 with presumably Harrison and WM allowed to go wide at times although likely 1 at a time and only when we attack. Rodrigo tucked in behind Bamford as a 10 but possibly having to defend as a winger if we lose possession (with Harrison doing likewise) and PB up top - so a sort of flexible 532/541 when defending and 343/352 when attacking.

Problem is we start from a completely different position. I know we have the players to cause Newcastle a s**t load of problems. Alladyce is letting Newcastle play it their way, praying for a shed load of luck... It could happen, anything is possible, but we're lowering our own chances. My theory is give yourself the best possible chance of getting a result

All pals together in the tunnel. Barcodes probably saying thank you in advance

Just don't see an outball and feel we will end pinned back

[DDB220]

433 according to commentary - Koch playing Dmid

[DDB220]

Clearly fluid

[The Subhuman]

Just don't see an outball and feel we will end pinned back

That's the tactic though, soak up the pressure and hope Newcastle make the mistakes. You don't need an out ball for that

[Orange Box]

Koch playing behind our front two pressing well

Koch has never been particularly effective in that role. As someone mentioned, this line up could well be a masterstroke.

[Orange Box]

At least we are battling and not letting them fanny about with the ball, ref doesn’t like us though

[Scoobychief]

Panic in our defense just now. Wow long way to go

[The Subhuman]

Firpo fouled and not given, well recovered

[DDB220]

Get 9n

[DDB220]

Get in

[Orange Box]

Wooooooooooooo . Jack and Paddy are awake!,

[JoeDenver]

YES!!! Ayling!!
