Good Morning. It's Friday 29th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Summerville out for season Crysencio Summerville's season, and possibly his Leeds Utd tenure are in doubt, after Jesse Marsch revealed the 20yo winger twisted his ankle prior to Monday's goalless draw at Selhurst Park. Summerville has grown frustrated at the lack of first team involvement this season. He pushed for a loan to Hamburg back in January, but Bielsa blocked the move. The Dutchman was criticised by Marsch earlier this month for his attitude. Since then, he gave a rousing display against Manchester City's U23's last week wowing the 21,000 crowd, with his wizardry. "He twisted his ankle and he will be done for the season, unfortunately. That one was disappointing and then Adam [Forshaw] is moving forward in a good way but it'll still be some time for him. "Patrick [Bamford] has been making progress and we're hopeful that we can see him later in the season. Tyler [Roberts] is making good progress as well. "Other than that, I think everyone else is fully healthy and ready to go. The last thing I'll say is we're obviously excited for a big match, we think it's the best team in the world against the best club in the world. You can decide which is which." please log in to view this image Gaffer speaks about Ultimate Test Speaking at his Pre match Press Conference, Jesse Marsch told journalists that Leeds opponents tomorrow are 'the best team in the World'. The gaffer was also complimented about Pep Guardiola, insisting he 'does an incredible job of creating a tactical model' which his players understand and execute 'very, very well'. Manchester City have only lost three games this season (Spurs, Liverpool and Palace). Southampton and Crystal Palace (home) are two of only five clubs to have snatched a draw against the current English Champions this season. "It is an ultimate test, maybe the ultimate test. I'm very honest when I say I think they're the best team in the world. The talent they have speaks for itself. "Their manager does an incredible job of creating a tactical model that is very complex and one that the players understand very, very well and are able to execute very well. It's one that's incredibly difficult to defend against. "That's what you see more often than anything, Man City has an ability to control the match over time by their quality and movement and ideas and their ability to unbalance you. Often unbalance you in one area and attack you in another. "So, we will have to be very clear in exactly what our tactics and strategies are for the day. We have to find moments to not just be passive throughout the match because that's what happens. "They can put so much pressure on teams with the ball, then with the counter pressing they just suffocate teams. We have to be confident and better with the ball. "We have to understand the moments we can strategically be aggressive. That's not easy and a massive challenge, but hopefully on the day we can use our crowd and find ways to have a home advantages and see if we can fight for a result." Marsch looking forward to Aussie challenge Jesse Marsch says he is looking forward to his first Pre-season tour with the Whites this Summer. Leeds will travel down under for their second time in three years, where they will face off Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Brisbane Roar. Let's hope the preparations go well, and Leeds are still in the top flight. "It’s not only a great opportunity for Leeds to play three exciting games in front of our fans Down Under, it’s also a great opportunity to visit a wonderful country which I know loves their sport and is extremely knowledgeable about football," "This will be our club’s third playing trip to Australia and I’m very much looking forward to taking the team back for what will be an important part of our preparations for the 2022/23 season."
Hope we keep Summerville. I just have a feeling that he might be the answer to some of our problems in the final third. He seems to be a better fit to our new system than James or Harrison. Maybe even Raphinha.
Morning all.. I’ve got to admit, I too would like to see more of Summerville specially as Raphinha is likely to leave… As for his injury, Marsch didn’t blame it on Bielsa and murder ball then…
Going to be some very strange decisions made about our squad for next season, especially wingers and CBs, we have loads of each
Spurs LL Saints DD Liverpool DD Palace LD Strange how they've only dropped points in pairs. Hopefully break the trend tomorrow!
That's him killed 2 players for the rest of the season - and it only took him a week! Even murderball had less success in taking our players out!
Bielsa stupid? Really? Anyone uttering this nonsense only needs to look in the mirror to see who's stupid. Now who do I listen to? A world-renowned coach with disciples successfully running top teams around the world, or an old man with no footballing credentials, who can only offer warped opinion. I choose Bielsa. I suspect most sane people who know anything about football would do the same. If you think I'm the only one who'd make such a choice, set up a poll on here.
Have you no consideration for us old fekkers that can't carry a memory from a post to a reply? In other words, oops!
you expect to find any sane people or any people who know anything about football on here?!?! we all sit behind keyboards with pencils up our noses… think we know our players attributes better than our coaches do… and that tactics are small mint sweets.
