So to win those matches we need to score 3 or more goals.

Even Manchester City have only done that 15 times in the League this season.

Simple as that.
True.

You'd have thought so.

Erkisen vs a midfield of Greenwood and Rodrigo.

Thought he would of started with Klich then swapped with Greenwood. Or is he playing a front 2?
Bamford covid. Obviously. Of course he has.
Strong looking Newcastle side. Burnley will try to bore them to death

Tyler is there if we need him in an emergency situation according to Jesse. . . .


How fookin bleak will it need to be for a half fit Tyler Roberts to be the answer :lol:

Also that says it all about our squad.

Absolutely disgraceful at this level.

And then casually add to these glowing stats the inconsequent detail that Llorente has played more games as a CB this season than any other defender in a side which has conceded 78 goals in 37 games.... :roll:

That bench would make you weep.

I have got to the point I think we are better off dropping out of this league
Marsch OUT

Football has undergone a process of bielsification; pressing and possessing, passing rather than dribbling, intercepting high up the field rather than making last-ditch tackles, are in vogue.

Marcelo Bielsa. The light that will never go out.

Yeah that is a skinny bench. It’s visual proof of a club that has been atrocious in the market. When you consider B’s got Eriksen, Villa Coutinho & Newc got 3. Scary bad

At least if we are watching it on a stream we relegate two minutes later that elsewhere :roflmao:

It's really quite staggering enabling them the freedom of the park. Llorente up against Toney doesn't bear thinking about. As someone already alluded to, Greenwood starting in a game like this, seems bonkers or could be a masterstroke. Our entire season rests on Burnely f**king up and us a getting a result today, it's the Leeds way.

It's a brave line up if nothing else but extremely worrying that our midfield could get completly over run.
I think I would rather have had a more defensive line up and try and nick a 1-0.
If we go a goal behind we're still in it but two behind and we're done.
Now I'm just going to sit back and see how it all unfolds.

Maybe Koch will play in a midfield role
