Think kp will be found out and play from the bench.
I'm a massive critic and don't believe he's got what it takes to reach a higher level.
Thing is though, he's raised his game a certain level, fitness being the key factor, ofcourse mb has found a roll that has given him control in his game. because last season he didn't have a clue and he was hiding in most . games. Alioski is due to be replaced. he's just not improving and has not gone round a man since he came. we have players itching to get his spot. alioski from the bench could work.
Last comment is just my view.
Although we could use him right now, Roofe is another player who has benefitted from fitness and mb's methods. He will also struggle to reach that higher level. he's definitely not a 9.he's producing from high fitness and he's out already due to it. roberts is different class and only 19.bamford, miles better also.
Hope these players prove me wrong, would be happy with that. seen enough now to stick with my view though.
Cheers lads.

I agree and think the thought of Alisko coming off the bench would terrfy most and not starting might up his game further. Phillips can be a match winner, not sure what game it was last season but he come on and turned the game around and won it for us.

roofe i love but was 'iffy about' however this season he has proved he can be class, still think he is more rod wallace than number nine and would love to see him, bamford, saiz and roberts as attacking four, with alosiki and pablo in the mix as well,

think a front two would favour roofe bamford and roberts but don't think it is Mb's style or favoured formation

I agree about roberts think the lad will be a different class and alredy showing great promise.

Totally agree Gilsey about KP. Bielsa has simplified his role in the team and therefore his performances have improved as a result. In previous seasons he has struggled in the central midfield role as he is not intelligent enough to work out when to defend and when to attack and as a result got caught out of position. This season his role is clear, win the ball and give it, then return to your position. Going forward I expect Forshaw to take his place and that is fine with me as Forshaw is a better footballer. As for Alioski, he has the ability to beat players but lacks the confidence or inclination to do so. On the return of Pablo I would expect Alioski to make way with Pablo and Harrison occupying the wings.

Not sure how you can be saying Roberts is different class, he had a good 15 mins v Preston, he’s to do a lot more to convince me, he doesn’t play as a 9,he drops deep most of the time and spends a lot of time out wide. we put a lot of balls in the box and he’s not in there. he has potential that’s for sure, but premature to be calling him different class Gilesy. agree totally re Alioski though.

Jesus

What's with the Kalvin Phillips assassination squad?

Of course Phillips isn't Premiership standard. Wolves didn't think Douglas is. Don't think Beradi or Cooper are either. Saiz may be too lightweight for the Premiership too

But the fact is he IS the defensive midfield choice in the team at the top of the Championship. From what I have seen he is doing his job well. the number of goals conceded shows that

Aloiski seems to be getting it in the neck too. Doubt he is going to set the Premiership alight either, but as it stands he is the chosen left sided midfielder for the top Championship side. He scores and he assists
Maybe we should have kept that Swansea lad. Giles? . May be you guys don't believe this side has progressed.

Many valid views above, but well said Axe!

awal i agree when i say roberts is a different class i mean he looks like he has potential to be, his movement touch and pace looks very good. I don't think he is a line leader or number nine yet played there and done well, think on wing as inside forward or with two up front he could show real class

axe, I don't think anyone would say the sqaud has not progessed, not only has MB got every single player (maybe apart from alying but i loved him anyway) playing better others have come in to improve sqaud as well, that doesn't mean we are perfect (for championship level) and that some wouldn't want to see improvements. that's the point of football, part of being a fan and sites like this. we cheers on what we love and moan about what we don't like (some like myself more than others)

Well said axe . Great post, points well made . Our better players over the years, Cook, Taylor, Viera, Woods etc were considered too good for Leeds and sold, now we have a team top of the league, players are been slaughtered . Fact is if something don’t need fixing, enjoy it . It’s like the missus is is a looker, cracking cook, loves footie and a nymph in bed! But I know down the line she’ll look like her mother, , lose all her appeal, so I’ll slaughter her now! I’m speaking hyperfetically, mine thought I’d gone off long ago and left!

great analogy Rag and leeds for me is just like the wife, no where near as good as she use to be and I know there are far better out there but I love her anyway.

As for the table, I think a few are gettng carried away a litte, yes it is good, yes enjoy it, but was we not here last year and fell away to an awful season?

I am not suggesting it will happen again but cracks are there and think we have a right to worry or at least be cautious. Last two saturdays we have lost to a poor brum team and drew with an awful millwall team (and lucky to draw at that in that they hit post at the end with was lucky for us) so things while good are far from perfect and I can see why some of us are nevous

personally i don't care what league leeds are in I just want to see us be the best we can be and what frustates me is while things can be great and we can be amazing we can also be very flat and poor which of course i am not a big fan of.
