First half it was the old Leeds...shoot yourself in the foot with silly mistakes and a totally avoidable red card and we were looking at the usual gloomy January. Second half the new Leeds decided to put in an appearance and we saw why we're top of the league. Down but most definitely not despondent.
I don't like to look too far a head regarding games, but Norwich and WBA play each other next, we've a tough home game against Derby, so it's in our hands..
So do we rest everyone for the FA Cup and risk another defeat ? In my opinion play the best we have available and get back to winning ways... Say the same every season that a cup run is always good for any club and gives the players a mental break from the pressures of the league.
The flip side of that is that we have some tired first-team heads and a 10 day break might do them the world of good. And we don't need a Clarke or a Pontus getting injured at this point either. I think Bielsa will play the strongest team he has available though, regardless.
No Ell, was a terrible tackle, but if Forshaw was doing his job in front of the back four Philips wouldnt have been drawn out of his back four position and made the rash tackle.
