Leeds United - v - Sunderland ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

Mentioned quite often on a variety of threads that our opponents regard their match against us as their cup final. Also said before (by me at least!) that our players need to play as if its ours. They haven't for some time, about time rocket was inserted into back passage for all concerned.

Or at the very least
A toe up the hole.

Very nervous about Ampadu not training the last couple of days due to illness. 😮Would be a huge loss defensively for this match. Hopefully a quick recovery....otherwise Cooper perhaps??? 🙄

Please not Cooper - what does Cresswell have to do to get game time?

Agree, Cooper would slow the game down and only pass backwards, frustrating the crowd and the players in front. He is I’m afraid, the Maguire of the Championship. Cresswell surely has to play - if not what is the point of him?

Joseph in place of Bumfluff who can be the impact player if we need one 😆

If Ampadu plays and allowing for a Mellier flap on a cross I’m going for 4-1

Not least as Cooper is supposed to be leaving in the summer.

Like Farke a lot but developing those outside the favoured 14 or 15 appears to be his weakness meaning when people are injured we don’t have ready match fit replacements rating to go.

Shackleton (to be fair he had a few injuries)
Gelhardt
Perkins
Cresswell
Allen
Joseph (less so recently)
Klaessan


must all be wondering what they have to do to play more. To use a bad catholic analogy- it’s like they are stuck in purgatory.
