    Good Morning Everyone,

    With Leeds being dominated in the middle of the park, is it time for them to change their formation, and go with a 5 man midfield?

    If this were the case, who would you play?

    Who would go up front?

    Could 4/5/1 work?




    Here is a very interesting article from Phil Hay regarding his first ever interview with Cellino.

    Thoughts?


    The Mirror reports that 'Cellino is open to offers for all the first team'

    Surely not Sloth <yikes>

    Morning Matt. <ok>

    That only works if you've got decent wingers to support the otherwise isolated front man.

    Morning all, yes I would go back to 5 in the middle or even 4-3-2-1

    If 5 the obvious choice for the wide men would be Dallas and Botaka then in the middle Bridcutt, Cook and Adeyemi, I would like to say Sloth but who knows if he is even match fit.

    Morning ristac, as Sloths agent, he is available for public speaking, social events, and watching football from the stands

    Yeah as long as they're willing to track back after supporting the front man, so you see the flaw in the plan? <whistle>

    So there we have it:
    Pie tax
    the entire squad is up for sale


    Anyone still want to say how the genius that is Cellino has got us on a sound financial footing....
    If he is here in February we are in admin and relegated. Financial meltdown is the only reason for the panic measures.
    Evans will resign if the squad are all on the market. He has no choice!

    So your whole squad is up for sale?

    I would take Berrardi as cover for the injured Craig, but he would be on the bench and maybe Cook to develop in our academy to get him to fringe first team player level.
    Rest of your squad are not good enough <ok>

    The glee club members will still spin it that he's doing a good financial job and at least trying to raise revenue, even if it's fleecing fans £5 for a pie that costs less than £3!! <doh>

    Good morning Matt from a wet Bardsey
    MC has made his biggest mistake yet trying to force fans to eat humble pie I think this will be his worst mistake in a list of many
    We know the mid field is poor yet Evans persists with Mowatt give Sloth a chance he can't be any worse!
    the back 4 of Taylor Cooper Bamba and Beradi are as good as any in this league I admit that Silvestri is shaky sometimes Mowatt not for me .
    Once Bridcutt gets match fit we will have someone decent to help Cook
    Why not try 2 wingers Botaka and Dallas and if Cummings joins play him alongside Woods
    Finally how can anyone feel secure when stories abound about selling all the team even I have totally lost my patience now

    Wasn't the point Mike but in any case, they're only the best if you like them whereas others might not.

    It's easy to be always right when it comes to Leeds Utd. Just be constantly negative and dismiss any action any manager/owner/player makes and the chances are you will be right.
