And stats never tell the whole story or win games
Knockaert ain't no great shakes to be honest.

Jeez to read some of these comments you'd think we were bottom of the league. Far easier to throw youngster in, or on, when the matches are meaningless and there is no pressure to perform immediately. If Bielsa made changes and the team lost then he'd get crucified by most 'fans.' The team are joint top of the division and it is the same small group of players that has got us there and have rightly earned Bielsa's trust.

As for not trusting youth well if Shackleton hadn't been injured I am sure he would have played a lot more. Also don't forget how he put his trust in the young, untested at this level, Ben White. Bielsa is a much better judge of our youth, or borrowed youth, than we are.

Of course those Harrison stats omit the fact the one plays in an attacking system with his side enjoying somewhere around 75% possession while the other doesn't
Knockheart in a Leeds shirt with MB overseeing him would be an interesting scenario.


Harrison last week reverted to the player of last season, hopefully he can get going again today in game where I expect he will find a bit more room to operate.


Today;

Getting close to KO and I am bricking it. I had tickets for this one and I had it billed as the BIG GAME of the season.


Come on lads lets be a bit more clinical when the chances come. That was all that was missing in every game we dominated but came away with nothing.

Douglas on the bench.I would love it if he got a run and re found his dead ball acumen. We get so many corners surely he could find Roberts head with one?

Absolutely chucking it down in north Leeds, supposed to be breaking at 3 though.

Cut out the hospital balls from the back and I think we should be fine.

Tbf an accurate comparison would be Jack Harrison vs Cavaleiro as they are both left wingers.

Presume thats a Leeds site that picked Knockhaert because he has had a poor season.

Cavaleiro has 1 more goal and the same assists as JH in 513 less minutes then JH has played.

Bench really doesn't worry me, the only thing that worries me is the same thing that;s caused me concern all season

Need big performances from harrison and costa today. dissapointing last week. Harrison gone back to taking too many touches and often running the ball out of play in promising positions. And costa I dont think I've ever seen him not scuff the ball when shooting. I expect nothing from Bamford so any improvement on last week will be a positive.

Shackleton the only one I suspect

Marcelo knows his best XI, one of them unfortunately on the bench today
