    And rightly so - Ebbsfleet have won 6 in a row with the goal difference of 17-4 - not a team to be taken lightly :) Former Leeds-youngster Dominic Poleon is in the best form of his life with 31 goals in 62 matches for the club

    Fergie, Fergie sign him up!
     
    The games don't stop coming.

    I'd be tempted to start a front 3 of Garnacho Rashford Antony for this match.

    Then play Weghorst in the away leg.
     
    Been thinking about this, it might be a good opportunity to try Martinez in the DM role. He's great on the ball and has that tenacity that Casemiro has.

    I think Sancho might be in contention to start this one. He's going to be needed eventually.

    Hopefully Martial is able to start and help out with the insane fixture list we have but I wouldn't count on it.

    Hmm nice picks, but think I'll go for the following lads:


    Goalkeeper

    Right back
    Right center back
    Left centre back
    Left back

    Defensive central midfielder
    Little less defensive but still defensive central midfielder
    Little more offensive midfielder

    Right winger
    Centre forward
    Left winger



    OKOKOK:

    De Gea; Wan Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof Lisandro, Shaw; Sabitzer, Fred; Bruno, Sancho, Rashford; Weghorst.


    Think without Casemiro, Eriksen and McTominay it will help a lot to have Bruno and Sancho help midfield out a little more.
    Possibly Garnacho or Antony instead of Weghorst, but I don't know the Leeds type of defenders as well. Martial if fit, obviously (but you know). Maybe this would rush Sancho too much, but I hope midfield can be stabilized as much as possible, considering the situation at hand.

    Should win this comfortably, Leeds are really struggling.
     
    I'd like to see Garnacho given a start and allowed to run at their defence. My guess is we'll make heavy weather of this; we weren't anywhere near top form on Saturday against another mediocre side. It's an absolute must win given spurs' victory on Sunday. bloody annoying that it's not being covered live by any TV channel
     
    Interesting to see will ETH go with Sabitzer and Fred or he opt for McFred midfield.

    Ten Hag is not the type of manager that rotate much.

    We don't have either many choices on the bench.

    I think that we have to rotate some players, especially Varane and Shaw, to keep them fresh for the next 3 games we ll have (Leeds away, Barcelona and Newcastle)

    Victory at all cost.

    Wow I haven't heard this before in a match day thread recently, what an idea! :lol:
     
    Have two teams every played each other twice in a week in the Premier League before?
     
    de Gea
    Wan-Bissaka Varane Martinez Shaw
    Sabitzer Fred
    Antony Bruno Garnacho
    Rashford
    ---------
    Heaton; Dalot, Malacia, Lindelof, Maguire; Mainoo; Sancho, Elanga, Weghorst​

    Hoping McTominay and Martial are fit soon for this period without Casemiro. I'd like that see the above starting XI regardless and really go at Leeds here. We can probably try to pack the middle of the park more when we play them away with McTominay & Weghorst over Antony & Garnacho.

    The red card kind of ruined the plan against Palace, as I'm sure we were close to bringing on Dalot and Sancho for some minutes. Have to hope we can be 2 or 3 goals to the good here and sub them on.
     
    So that's Wolves, Villa and now Leeds we have faced after sacking a manager? Am I missing any others?
     
    Leeds sacking their manager… bad news for us if they bring a new manager in. We faced a manager bounce against villa and we lost. Could do with playing them twice this week with no new manager.
     
    Guys, it's Leeds. Even if Guardiola is about to be appointed, we should beat them easily.
     
    We keep facing the new manager bounces. It's ok, we now have EtH.

    If it's an interim they have in place not an issue
    A decent manager will make them hard to beat and the players will get a boost of wanting to impress. With two games there, a chance that one could be a draw is possible. They won't be as open imo
     
    i'm sure it'll be an interim coach for the match wednesday but i suspect they'll have someone by the time we face them at Leeds on Sunday. That is the match that will be much more difficult.
     
    Not this bloody numpty, he will want nothing more than to beat us. Hopefully we get the three points, don’t care how, just get them.
     
    Another new manager bounce and it's "I've managed in MLS you know", Chris Armas? You can't make this up :lol:
     
    Score early so they don‘t settle into parking the bus. Them being forced to play most of the game leaves them much more open.
