Leeds (H) 18/3 - Build-Up and Match Thread

[Johnny75]

I think he, Sarabia and Dawson were all signings for this season with beyond that being tbd

I think for a couple of seasons rather than just this one. They give a spine to build around.

Gomes, Chiquinho and Collins should be their replacements in theory.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Doubt we’re signing a CB better than Dawson this summer. We need another to play with him next year.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Sarabia will almost certainly feature prominently next season and probably well beyond.

 

[Lupo]

Sarabia will almost certainly feature prominently next season and probably well beyond.

Would hope so, doesn't strike me as a stop gap signing

 

[Kenny]

Hwang bost again.
Cunha and Sarabia fit
Boubacar getting there but not fit enough for tomorrow

 

[Tredman]

FFS, his miserable face will be sat behind me again.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Hwang gets injured a hell of a lot.

 

[The Bear]

Was he like that when we first bought him? I don't recall a lot of time out.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He had Covid for ages before he signed for us.

He's had at least 5-6 separate injuries while he's been here, never puts together a run of games.

 

[The Bear]

Smegging Podence again...

 

[The Bear]

I'm excited to see Gomes starting.

Less so about Jonny, Kilman or Podence. At least we have a good bench to change things round.

 

[WsWolf]

Are we sure Cunha was a Lopetegui signing, because it doesn't seem like it to me?

 

[Dire Wolf]

A start for Gomes. Young legs and energy in the middle to match them perhaps?

The app has it as 4-2-3-1 with Gomes, Podence and Neto the 3 behind Raul.

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm not sure what I think about that midfield tbh. I can see it being really solid, there's mobility, and I think all three can produce progressive carries or passes. But it could also be quite flat and lacking creativity. Who knows. Not against it though. I think.

 

[Del Woppio]

Are we sure Cunha was a Lopetegui signing, because it doesn't seem like it to me?

I don't think he fancies him at all tbh. £45m ffs

 

[YoungWolf]

Ait nouri not even sub

Cunha was definitely a Julen signing.

 

[prawnking]

Sarabia benched too, presume not fit for 90 mins yet?

 

[The Bear]

Coote on VAR...

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don't think he fancies him at all tbh. £45m ffs

Was wearing a boot in the week wasn't he?

 

[C.L.D]

Are we sure Cunha was a Lopetegui signing, because it doesn't seem like it to me?

Well we did strike a typical Mendes amount to bring him in (ala Guedes), so...

That starting line up vs bench looks like Lop threw darts at a board.
