Must win game!!!!! It is being shown live on Amazon Prime too.
It might be even more crucial after tonights Prem games. Saints are away to Bournemouth, West Ham are away to Liverpool and Everton are away at Barcodes. Tomorrow Villa are away to Fulham.
We are only 1 point away from the relegation places, but a win could take us up to 12th
Diwali will be celebrated before the game, so expect a lot of loud music for those going! I think we have been given around 3,850 allocation so expect us to be loud too
Foxes will be without 6 key players - Maddison, Evans, Soyunku, Ndidi, Pereira and Bertrand
Both teams may be lacking in confidence so first goal will be important.
I expect JM to go for:
Iceman
Rasmus Koch Cooper Stuijk
Adams Roca
Harrison Brendon Sinister-Terror
Bamford
Subs: KK, Ayling, Llorente, Greenwood, Klitch, Jimmy, Joffy, Gnonto and Rodrigo
We need to have attacking options on the bench
COME ON LEEDS......MOT
Time to bin off Llorente, Firpo, Rodney, Bambi, Koch, Cooper to the dressing room. Let's recall Cresswell from Millwall (letting him go a major mistake). He can partner Strijuk in defence. Rasmus and Dramah as full backs. Play Gnonto an Gelhardt up front and base the others as and where in the rest of the areas.
Our best plays are when we have wide men running at pace, lately we have become so narrow there is no outlet and hence we turn in or back.
I'm not for throwing JM under the bus just yet, but he needs to redraw the game plan and bloody quick!
I watched it twice... Summerville was solid. Other will not agree but if you have a winger and ask him to play narrow and then give him the ball surrounded and he still creates 4 chances means he had a solid game. Llorente is a walking nightmare. Anyone beside him becomes a shambling mess.
Play a 4 - 4 - 2
Meslier
Kristensen, Koch, Struijk, Dramah
Harrison, Aaronson, Adams Sinesterra
Gelthardt, Bamford
Letting Llorente and Firpo into the starting line-up was the biggest mistake by Marsch, so far.
Shambolic that. Marsch looked a beaten man in the post match interview. Not his usually bullish self full of hyperbole. Even he couldn't find a positive to sell.
It's not just hom at fault though, poor signings for 2 years, not signing the right type of player for the right positions.
Relying on Bamford now is desperate. Anyway we all know the players that are not good enough.
I'll have a go at the MDT, I might do a completely negative and downbeat one for laugh.
only saw the highlights because I was working.very disappointing against a sh1te Leicester team.
Why did JM make so many changes after we played so well against Arsenal??
I think if Fulham beat us JM will be sacked.
we need some leaders on the pitch for the Fulham game,I would start
Messier
Ayling Koch Coops Strujic
Adam's
Klich
Harrison Antonson Sinisterra
Bamford

Well that was a huge disappointment. Have to say I feared the worst when I saw the starting lineup. God knows what Llorente has done to warrant a starting place. I can only assume Cooper has had a knock or niggle and they were worried he wouldn’t make it through 90mins. Whenever he is in our back line the whole defence look terrified.
From what I can gather Struijk had a knock so that explains Firpo coming in.
Why on earth you would drop Harrison is beyond me, nothing against Somerville but Harrison should have been starting.
I was feeling positive after the Arsenal game, but tonight has knocked it out of me. I don’t know what the answer is though. We don’t look like scoring and Leicester cut us open far too easily at times.
Do we need a change of formation? Do we need better players? up until now I was fairly happy with what we have but tonight’s showing was piss poor. Is it just a hangover from the effort they put in on Sunday?
one thing is for sure, results need to change soon or it will be curtains for Marsch.
Yep! You've all said it before I tap the keyboard. Sadly I fear it's a Marsch problem!
Come Jan. if we're where we are now he'll have to go. But who?
Aaronson was excellent and the only positive....
Whichever CB pairing we play has a mistake in them....
Leicester had ONE shot on target and scored TWO fkn goals!!
We haven't won since Chelscum and can't beat the 'easier' teams....
Teams like Fulham and Brentford have GOALSCORERS like Mitrovic and Toney to win enough games to stay up....
Down to you Lord Breezyballs....
That was well and truly shocking, especially the 2nd half. Yes I blame JM for tinkering with the team that played Arsenal off the park, but let's be honest, no one can legislate for a complete bunch of numpties who couldn't string a decent pass together.
As for the Spanish holy trinity of Firpo, Llorente and Rodney, well they did not disappoint as usual, complete f&ckwits!.
Give the Captain's armband to Aaronson, at least he played like he cared!
Second half we might as well not have bothered.
It didn't even resemble a team, no cohesion, just some individual players trying to do something.
Game plan? What game plan?
Patterns? I can pee more patterns than that.
Defensive platform/setup???
Set pieces & corners, bordering the ridiculousness.
Oh and contrary to popular belief we really got a rather big bunch of pretty average players.
On this performance relegation looks very likely.
To cap things off, did I mention this was against a shxte Leicester team?
2e half thus far has been pretty underwhelming to say the least.
Frankly there is not a lot to pin our hopes on.
Marsch out!
A very big 45 mins coming up, could well determine JM's future and more importantly the remainder of our season.
After another promising start against a team without confidence and belief, we now look the side without any game plan and frankly are in tatters.
On a bright note (or not), people are correct when they say we don't need a new striker or left back, we need far more than just that.
and we cant pass
Leeds look tired and slow
2-0 down and to make it worse, this is easely the worst Leicester team I've seen in god knows how many years. We've got no luck either, but at the end of the day you somehow have to make your own.
Beyond any doubt, we must be about the most fun side to play against.
We hand out presents like it's Christmas every week.
Teams low on confidence or with any at all will always fancy their chances against us. Favourite team to play against to end your bad run.
COME ON LEEDS.............MOT ALAW WACCOE
