Burnley - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread*** 3rd Round EFL Cup

[BelfastAndy]

http://i67.tinypic.com/1zdyxr5.jpg

Striker Chris Wood and defender Charlie Taylor are set to face their former club when Burnley host Leeds United in the EFL Cup third round on Tuesday.

Wood moved to the Premier League side in August, while Taylor, who has made just one appearance, joined in July.

Midfielder Jeff Hendrick could play after recovering from a thigh injury.

Leeds defender Pontus Jansson has a hamstring injury, though fellow centre-back Liam Cooper is available for the Championship side after a back problem.

Burnley have made a fine start to the league season, winning two and losing just one of their opening five fixtures.

Leeds are top of the Championship table on goal difference after winning five of their first eight matches.

MATCH FACTS

Burnley have met Leeds just once in the League Cup, losing 4-0 at Elland Road in September 1972.

Burnley are without a home victory in the League Cup since September 2013, losing on their past two outings. Before that, the Clarets had won 10 out of 11 at Turf Moor.

Burnley summer signing Wood averaged a goal every two games for former side Leeds, scoring 44 goals in 88 matches.

Leeds reached the quarter-finals last season, the first time they had been past the third round since 2012-13.

Leeds have won only two of their past 12 League Cup ties against Premier League sides, losing the past five on the road.


0 - 1 Leeds.

MOT.

[Billyni]

Is there extra time and pens if required ?

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Yes there is, I predict 2-1 to Leeds

I also predict we will use as many players outside of what has been classed as our regular 11 as possible meaning wiedwald ayling Anita jansson Cooper Phillips O'Kane alioski Hernandez saiz and lasogga are likely to be benched or rested if at all possible

That leaves a likely 18 if they're all fit enough of lonergan Farrell berardi Jackson shaughnessy Pennington Vieira klich Dallas roofe sacko cibicki grot and any 5 from the regular 11, our squad does feel slightly depleted due to injuries, let's hope tc gets a fully fit squad sometime soon

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

As far as I'm aware, our only 2 unavailable players are jansson and ekuban, everyone else can at least be benched

[Turfmoorspirit]

Just a heads up for any real ale drinkers coming over. 2 mins from the train station (manchester rd station) there is a pub called the Ministry of ale. No frills ,great beer,and the landlord is a Leeds fan.

[Rev72]

Hope we win but ain't too fussed if we don't.

League is far far more important.

[Ozwhites]

Spot on Rev....

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

TMS what's your predicted Burnley lineup?

Gk legzdins
Rb bardsley
Lb Taylor
Cb mee
Cb long
Rw Brady
Lw airfield
Cm Westwood
Cm marney
St wood
St wells

TMS what's your predicted Burnley lineup?

Gk legzdins
Rb bardsley
Lb Taylor
Cb mee
Cb long
Rw Brady
Lw airfield
Cm Westwood
Cm marney
St wood
St wells


Marney and Wells won't play as they are injured.

Wood won't start.

We have quite a few options now so it's pretty difficult to name a side for a game like this.

However I'll go......

Pope
Bardsley
Tarkowski
Long
Taylor
Westwood
Hendrick
Gudmundsson
Walters
Barnes
Vokes

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

do you think it will be 433 or a 4231?

[Stan_van_nel]

It will be 4-4-1-1 (4-5-1) or 4-4-2, but probably the latter being as we are at home.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

with your lineup there stan the back 5 seems standard, but then I read it as 2 CMs, 1 winger, and 3 strikers, would it be walters used as another winger?

[Stan_van_nel]

Yes Walters can play there and so can Barnes, but I wouldn't call them wingers in the conventional sense.

Taylor will be providing the width on the left and Guddy on the right, if we play 4-4-2 and those players play.

[WTF11]

Is this the Leeds United Footymad site or did I take a wrong turn?

[BenidormBlanco]

Lonergan, Borthwick-Jackson, Berardi, Shaughnessy, Ayling, Vieira, Klich, Dallas, Roofe, Cibicki, Grot

[Rev72]

Traitor Taylor starts for 'them'..with the 'other' traitor on the bench.

[CalverleyBoy]

Do we have any streams going?

[galwaywhite]

Come on Leeds, plenty of changes good opportunity for some players to put in a performance that gives TC a headache come sat.

[BelfastAndy]

That's a great link. Cheers Pilgrim.

[pilgrimwhite]

no problems Andy

[Rev72]

Cheers pilgrim link works great for me as well B)

[BelfastAndy]

Good challenges

[pilgrimwhite]

a 2nd link just in case

[BelfastAndy]

WTF is B-J at ffs?

[CromerWhite]

cheers pilgrim link works great for me as well b)

x 2

[Jezleeds]

Good start overall so far. Roofe looks on fire. Is it me or has anyone else thought that Grot seems to have a poor first touch for a Dutch player? Seen all his games so far and maybe he's off the pace or something but fails to trap the ball most of the time. BJ off the pace too so far. Generally we're matching them player for player i'd say.

[Rev72]

I would say they are just edging it at the moment but there isn't much in it..bit like my wallet.

[Rev72]

Bit sloppy at times..come on Leeds get a feckin hold of it!

[Rev72]

Ref's a homer...

[Rev72]

Wasteful on set pieces so far tonight.

:star::star:

[Jezleeds]

not impressed with Grot at all.

Rest of the team doing a good job - Cibicki looks like he has some skill and intent - i like his confidence on the ball and running at defenders...

[BenidormBlanco]

decent 1st half if one cares to have a little perspective, our starting 11 ought to get spanked, heres hoping for a sneaky goal second half!

good to see Taylor getting all the boos he deserves too...

[CalverleyBoy]

[Orgoner]

Both penalties were stupid.

Brady's finish wasn't too shabby.

Let's see what happens in extra time then.....

[Rev72]

2nd string teams so anything is possible..but to throw it away twice in 10 mins takes some doing.

[Billyni]

We are our own worst enemy.

[Orgoner]

Not sure if the rest of you can, but I'm watching via ESPN.com.

[galwaywhite]

Gutted. Another poor foul.

[Rev72]

On a lighter note anybody watching that doctor foster on BBC1?

[Rev72]

Pens it is

[Orgoner]

It looks like there'll be another ABBA reference today.

* Thinks about blonde one. *

** Not the one featured earlier. **

[Rev72]

Only ourselves to blame if we go out here..could have done without extra time and pens.

[do_ron]

Yes Andy looking forward to the Sheffield United game 27th

[Jezleeds]

pretty even game overall = disappointing we lost the lead twice, but generally a decent performance.

I think the confidence levels should be back up for Saturday after this, whatever happens in the shoot-out.

[magnificowhite]

Berardi got another black eye. Love him he's nails.

[Orgoner]

Wonder if he swiss miss's much.

*for those of you that don't know the meaning 'swiss miss' its when you intend to enter the front door but end up in the back ones.

**Info from urban dictionary.

A snooker reference?

Easy pink. Tricky brown. Nigh on impossible yellow.

* Bans himself. *

[Rev72]

A game we grew into I think..what a p1sser tho to lead twice late on and concede.

[BelfastAndy]

weird

[Rev72]

A snooker reference?

Easy pink. Tricky brown. Nigh on impossible yellow.

* Bans himself. *

[Orgoner]

Good game - could've gone either way, obviously.

We'll need to play you again sometime soon. Hopefully.

[BelfastAndy]

Bet Andys gone to change his y's again :D

XD

That was a good training run for us....

[galwaywhite]

Great performance from the lads, didn't drop the heads after conceding and took some clinical pens.

[WTF11]

Couldn't get any of the links to work so only text to go on but jees what a last 30 minutes and then penalties! Super performance to keep nerves and convert all five, well done (and to Lonergan for the save).

Interesting to see who we get next round.

[Billyni]

Lets not get carried away. It were just a shyte premier team. Against better opposition we might have struggled.

[CalverleyBoy]

Great game and outcome; we have some real talent this year

[Billyni]

Must remember to check the predictions B)

[Rev72]

Obviously happy we have got the result but feck me didn't we make it hard for ourselves!

Who do we want next round then?

[Orgoner]

Yep. Too soon to be getting carried away, but it's always good to win.

The penalties were all well taken too.

[BenidormBlanco]

tremendous effort from Leeds reserves, our 1st team wouldve battered em in 90 mins.

[Rev72]

:D

[Turfmoorspirit]

tremendous effort from Leeds reserves, our 1st team wouldve battered em in 90 mins. I thought our 3rd team did ok ! No complaints from me you deserved the win..

[BenidormBlanco]

very gracious Alf, nowt in it really, though the Ref gave you plenty of "fergie time" to get your second equaliser.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Lonergan – 2nd choice
Berardi – 2nd choice
Jackson – 2nd choice
Ayling – 1st choice but out of position
Shaughnessy – 2nd choice
Vieira – 2nd choice
Klich – 2nd choice
Dallas – 2nd choice and played 2nd half and extra time out of position
Roofe – 2nd choice and out of position
Cibicki – 2nd choice and out of position
Grot – 2nd choice
Subs
Sacko – 2nd choice
Alioski – 1st choice
Lasogga – 1st choice
This is basically a 2nd 11 and no matter how close to a 2nd 11 burnley put out, we matched them in 90 minutes, this is a great response from the shower we produced against millwall, and against the odds, I think we deserved to go through tonight, to beat a team currently in the PL at their ground, BRILLIANT!
MOT!!!

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Sorry forgot a sub, Hernandez 1st choice

MOT!!! Agreed ! You did a number on us,soaked up the pressure and hit us on the break. Decent game and not a lot to choose between us,i thought your defending was great and you deserved the result.

[Billyni]

So it looks like Milwall are better than Bumley then.

[Turfmoorspirit]

So it looks like Milwall are better than Bumley then. We were not playing Millwall ! ?

[WTF11]

We were not playing Millwall ! ?

I think thats a reference to us having last at Millwall over the weekend.

[LeedsFTW]

A very pleasing result especially against an honest, hard working and well run club like Burnley. (We will forget the comments from Dyche about the penalty :) )

Thanks alf the sycophantic millwall bummer and his 6 fingered misdemeanors
