Match Thread Leeds 1-0 Everton, Mon 18 Aug, 8.00pm

[DualityNSNO]

If that starting 11 doesn't make the recruitment team pull their finger out then nothing will

There's still time though don't you know. "Plenty of time left in the transfer window", as we start our first game with no right back due to not having one, no right winger due to not having one and no left back due to injuries.

Another weak start it is.

That said, we'll still smash these

 

[Clarky cat]

If you need cheering up after looking at our starting 11 and being baffled, have a look at the Leeds squad, it’s an omnishambles of mediocrity. 2-0 Everton.
COYB!

I think

 

[blue to the bone]

Much of a muchness isn’t it? Neither ideal

Its better then keane left back though.

 

[Aries]

He would be skinned up and down that side, or sent off within the first 20 minutes.

Rather he was skinned at left back with two centre halves in the middle to cover, than skinned at actual centre half.

Look, it’s not ideal obviously.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

KDH is the only "natural" left-footer in that XI aside from Pickford.

Don't be surprised if he's got an unorthodox role as a LWB. Not ideal, not where we want him, but yeah I'm wondering like the rest of us.

Even Ndiaye is a righty.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Of course we need a lot more, but Grealish, Barry, McNeil.

3 options to change the attack - we've not had that for years.

People not rating McNeil as our most creative players over the last few years is silly
People not rating McNeil as a strong option off the bench compared to what we’ve had over the last few years is wild!

that’s before we mention Grealish however fit he is

 

[Hafnia Blue]

At least DCL isn't involved. Probably injuried

 

[Bebeto]

No recognised FB on the pitch.

And an entire summer to strengthen those positions...

 

[Ron Burgundy]

That backline is terrifying.

Nothing wrong with the final third. This game will be won or lost by our defence.

 

[Librarian]

There’s a few in this squad that the manager does not trust

 

[blue to the bone]

Moyes hopeful of a few more in which is fairly obvious i guess.

 

[Old Blue 2]

All the moaners in here before a ball has been kicked...

 

[Aries]

Its better then keane left back though.

O’Brien? Why is O’Brien suddenly a better left back than Keane? Has he ever played left back before? Neither option is ideal but at least Keane has played numerous times as the left sided centre back.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Want to see how Gruev will get on in the Prem, or if he does. He played quite a lot for them over the last 2 years and is promising, seems like a solid player.

Hopefully he has a crap game today if he plays though
