Nobbyburton Posted 22 February Share Posted 22 February (edited) Hadn't actually paid much attention to the teams Leeds have played on this 'incredible run' - They haven't played a good team since West Brom in December (which they lost) Perhaps Norwich? But even that was a 1-0. I'm seeing a lot of 2/3-0 predictions on their forum. No doubt they are capable of turning up against us, but we definitely shouldn't be considering ourselves underdogs here.

LFEFox23 Posted 22 February Share Posted 22 February I don't know why I'm getting a feeling we should be starting Vardy and Nacho.... not reasoning behind it, just a gutt feeling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing well enough to control the game and gain a point is all we need, and might be enough to dampen the mood there. Whereas at home it might activate the boobirds? Completely agree with that Saturday was disappointing and frustrating at times but some of the fans are just embarrassing 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 22 February Share Posted 22 February I think that Bamford is unavailable for Friday. Not sure who benefits most from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally wouldn't have nacho in the squad.. looked disinterested before the afcon. Vardy to start, daka and cannon on the bench is enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello Posted 22 February Share Posted 22 February All the pressure is on them, at home, big crowd etc. We win, 12 points clear, draw 10 points clear. If they have aspirations of winning this league, they need a win. Even then we’re 6 points clear of them. All this “free hit” rubbish on their forums is laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 22 February Share Posted 22 February 2 hours ago, jonny_wright said: Although it’s hard to argue against playing our game, i can’t help but think a counter attacking set up would benefit us in this situation, same as Southampton away I think to an extent that happens naturally more than being strictly a plan. A game of football evolves gradually from the first whistle, it's fluid, back and forth. If they put pressure on and get control of the ball in our half then we become a counter attacking team. If they pass the ball around in their own half then we become a high pressing team. If they drop off and wait and invite us on then we become a possession based team. We have our patterns of play and our shape and a desire to score goals and be in control but you respond to what happens in the moment. I don't think the plan was any different for Southampton away as it was for Rotherham at home. Things just unfold a little different because of the opponent. Thats not to say we don't do preparation and research for each team we play but I think if you were to ask Maresca, even privately off the record, he'd say that ultimately we've done more or less the same thing in every game this year even if it hasn't necessarily looked like it on the pitch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get the first goal frustrate them and keep it solid at the back we will win but if they score first they could hammer us. We aren't good at chasing games due to our slower possession based style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even about their aspirations to win the league, it's not even about their gap to us. They need all the points they can get because they could very well end up being 4th if they don't. They're scrambling to get away from Southampton and Ipswich far more than they're trying to catch us, regardless of what their delusional fans think. THAT is pressure. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but he needn't make it easier for Farke to do his team talk. I actually think the Leeds love in from everyone in the build up to this game plays more in to our favour than theirs in pressure and possible complacency, we don't need to create any outside noise ourselves. He's never ever tried to do that before, if that's the angle he wants to go down, absolutely fine but he better make sure our players thrive in such scenarios and not struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
