After not securing the 3 points today. This now becomes a must win.

need to smash dirty Leeds

I'm still gnashing my teeth, and I plan to hold on to my anger for dirty Leeds 

Safe to assume Kante will be out so I'd expect same starting eleven as today bar Gallagher in for Kante.

Personally I'd also bench Havertz and start Broja. To be honest I don't think Broja is all that but I'd rather see Sterling not being wasted as a false nine.

Broja shouldn't get near the pitch after today.

Thought both he and Pulisic looked lazy when they came on which for me is unforgivable given the intensity we played with prior to them coming on.

Havertz lacked quality today and if we sign another attacking player this week will likely be dropped but to be fair he put a shift in.

You lot trust Gallagher in a pivot against a high pressing team? 

Another Sunday game.

I'd agree but there has been plenty games Havertz has looked largely disinterested. I just don't want to waste Sterling to shoe horn in Havertz

Going to be properly annoyed if we drop the intensity or we drop points because our attack yet again fails to deliver. 
 

3 points. No matter what. 

Sunday games, the Thursday night of the weekend...

No Kante, no Kovacic, No De Jong (sorry @Gol15;)) means the RLC and Jorgi partnership is back!

 

Mendy

 

Dave

Silva

Koulibaly 

 

James

RLC

Jorgi

Cucurella

 

Mount

Sterling

Havertz

 

Sides I expect TT to pick for his assistant to manage.

why you keep adding fuel to the fire you know De Jong would have been perfect for us...

Tuchel will give his assistant a similar lineup in the 3-4-3. After looking like sh*t and conceding a goal, and without TT's permission, we'll convert to the 4-2-3-1 and look as good as we have in years, very fluid, and destroy Leeds 6-1. Then our assistant manager is going to be sacked.

If  we carry on the intensity from the Spurs game, we will smash them. I would start Gallagher for Kante and Broja for Mount, just to add directness in attack and spoil their pre-game plan. With 5 subs, changes could be made at H/T should plan A fail, so it's not that much of a risk.

Is Anthony Taylor refereeing this match? 🤪

I would consider pulling Havertz for Pulisic or Ziyech in this match.

He's been in poor form for 2 games straight.

Pulisic and Ziyech have been in poor form for 2 years straight.

The same front 3 has to start because there is no one else.

Same team bar Gallagher for Kante.

Broja should get at last 20-30 mins.

 

                                     Mendy

        James                     Silva                       Kouli

RLC           Gallagher      Jorgy       Mount           Cucurella

                      Havertz            Sterling

 

                                   Mendy

                        Silva                       Kouli

   James                        Jorgy                        Cucurella

                     RLC                       Mount   

                                  Gallagher       

                       Havertz           Sterling

 

 

 

Back line need to be up for it. Saw all of Leeds games so far this season (Jesse Marsch is from the same state as me) and all of their goals this season have come from the defence backline falling asleep. They make a lot of runs. 

I already posted who I expect TT to start with. I would prefer to see:

 

Mendy

 

Chalobah

Silva

Koulibaly 

 

James

Gallagher

Jorginho 

Cucurella

 

Sterling

Broja

Mount

Dear Kalidou, please flatten Crash Dummy Daniel James. Also, if he tries his trademark "run into someone at full speed face-first to win a free-kick" technique, tense up!

Yours sincerely, everyone outside of Dirty Leeds.
