We score most of our goals when Pablo is on the pitch.

I doubt Bielsa will do it, but I would play Pablo from the start against Barnsley.

Be a creative dangerous goalscoring team from the 1st minute ( not the 46th) score first ( early) goal; win the match.

# and Leeds United defensive clean sheets please.

Can't argue with those requests!

Yes LUFC

Barnsley have kept 4 clean sheets in the last 6 games, the only time they were beaten easily is when Stoke scored 2 very early goals to win 4 nil

So play your best available team from the start for scoring goals Pabli to play the first 70 minutes not the final 45 minutes chasing a win

# early Leeds goals
# put the game to bed by Half time
# Leeds United clean sheets
# need to / must win against Barnsley.

Arguably Pablo is more effective though when the opposition are tired - therefore 2nd period. Bielsa knows what he is doing.

Why change what is working?
Pablo coming on against tired teams works and keeps him fresh for future games. Only change i expect will be Phillips which is forced.

With 🇨🇦. Baby Shack for KP. I'd also be tempted to rotate Costa and Harrison with Alioski and Poveda. Keep the former pair fresh for Book Cookers. This tactic would also protect centre midfield from any absence felt of KP loss. Barnsley be too busy dealing with their pace on wings. You can always bring on Costa and Harrison along with Pablo 2nd half 😆.

Yep can empathise with your points Alf and Canada.

I expect Bielsa will not start
Pablo against Barnsley.

Hope Tyler Roberts performances considerably improve we could do with him scoring and assisting goals in next matches.

Agree with George on Baby Shack, said a few times on here I can see DM being his best position long term. Also has the benefit of keeping White where he is almost always a MOTM contender.

White in cm
Berardi in as CB

Trust the process.

I suppose I do, it's just Berardi I am not sure about.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jul 2020 11:21:36
I think Berra will do the job, the same as he has every time when called upon this season. We were all worried about Pabs going the distance at the start of the season, and clearly Bielsa has learned, and found the way to get the biggest impact out of him. The way he’s using him now will help to preserve his career for another couple of years, which is surely what we all want long term.? White will possibly outperform Kal, which I’m quite happy to see. I have my Leeds United flag ready to proudly fly!

Phillips out. Might have to a bit extra on Barnsley to win or draw if we are to get the three points.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2020 13:27:50
Hess I see it as a blessing. He'll recover in time and be fresh for the Prideful Book Cookers. We ought not need to rely on KP for a win against Barnsley. It's a chance for others to come in and impress. One thinks of Shackleton, Bogusz, Gotts and McCalmont.

Looking forward to a bright Premier future, one can also add in Struick, Stevens, Davis, Poveda, McKinstry, Edmondson, Kenneh, Kamwa, McCarron and Huggins. We're sure to add to these as well.

14 Jul 2020 14:15:45
You can mention all you want but "this mans not for changing? " It will be the usual White in DM. We can throw them all on against any number of Prem teams next season.

Suggestion is that Phillips is out for season. We will definitely lose by at least three goals.

Following on from Sky's coverage of the Stoke game and the continuous loop they played of "Leeds are falling apart again" was this as a wind up of Leeds fans?
If so Sky should be held to account for this abuse of their position and all Leeds fans should complain to their local MP's about it.
The silence of the political class in Leeds on matters of this nature is disgraceful. I am sure if it was a London or Lancashire team there would be calls for a public enquiry on a national scale.
Please if you can take the time email your local MP.

As a Leeds supporter you should care! Instances of this nature and the victimisation of people should not be acceptable and when perpetrated against the team you support it is totally wrong . An international broadcaster should not be allowed to target a club or its supporters in this way. It has gone on for far too long and it should be prevented from happening again. The local political class and the club should stand up to treatment of this nature every time it occurs.

14 Jul 2020 14:02:58
I'm assuming this is a wind up 1970. If not, chill out, there are plenty of things to worry about, but that definitely ain't one of 'em! 😲.

No wind up Phil Hay has called Sky out publicly about it

Phil Hay has slammed Sky Sports after the broadcaster played “Leeds are falling apart” almost on loop throughout the last televised game against Stoke.
Leeds fans couldn’t believe that Sky insisted on playing the song as part of the fake crowd noise put out on the TV broadcast.
The song was played consistently despite Leeds playing at home and regardless of what was going on during the game.
It started playing as Leeds were awarded a penalty in the first half and then again once Mateusz Klich had put Leeds 1-0 up.
Talking on The Athletic, Hay said, “I know it’s a bit of fun but it seems a bit out of order to me. ” Hay is bang on here.
Sky may have taken umbrage about the Leeds song that is regularly sung at Elland Road but we don’t think that means they should take this sort of action.
It might be a bit of fun for Sky but seeing as they make more revenue from Leeds than any other side in the Championship, this seems to be completely wrong.
It wound a lot of Leeds fans up, who took time out while watching the game to slam Sky on Twitter.
And now all eyes (or ears) will be on the Barnsley game on Thursday.
This is the game that could see Leeds secure promotion and it would be completely wrong for Sky to repeat their shenanigans.
We say, fun or not, this must not happen again and hopefully the producers at Sky Sports have got the message.
We have a reasonable sense of humour but this is a hugely important time for the club.
Leeds United aren’t there to amuse a few Sky employees and we think that if their bosses found out, it would be banned immediately.

Exactly what Alf said, throw it back at them

Said last season after direby, a team, a group of men Had to stand up and say “ not again” and ram it back down peoples throats

There’s 46 cup finals to play when you’re Leeds and in that shirt

3 more cup finals to go

No easing up.

I know it's all about us and we just need to keep winning but what do we want from tonight's game?
Fulham win keeps them in the hunt for autos! Better chance for us to finish top!
West brom win finishes any Fulham chance but I think we have been more bothered by Brentford of late!
A draw maybe knocks both I guess!
Anyway I shall watch with interest and I'm sure you will all say it's not that important! 🤔 MOT to Thursday.

That is the nerve shredding thrill of the Championship. So far 4 teams chasing 2 spots seemingly to the very end.

It's what we do that matters of
course

but a draw between Baggies and Fulham would eliminate Fulham from surpassing Leeds and dent Baggies too.

If fulham win and we don't lose to Barnsley they realistically can't catch us (huge goal difference in our favour) anyway even if we draw.
If fulham win and we beat Barnsley we are 1 pt off promotion AND the title.
I want a Fulham win.

Think I’d prefer a Fulham win DSW, yes it may give them added impetus for the automatic spots but it also creates a little gap to us with only a couple for them to play.

Now for the Brentford vs Preston game, obviously I’d love a Preston win, but I can see Preston getting a point here, given it’s almost pooh or bust for them with regards the playoffs.
