Good Morning. Its Thursday 10th December, and here are the latest heaflines from Elland Road.. Ive got an emergency doctors appointment. Could someone take care of todays breakfast debate
A but quiet everywhere today and hope Elland is ok and his enema wasnt too painful. The only Leeds news today seems to revolve around how Bielsa just revealed his starting 11 and has been applauded by everyone from Lineker to Joey Barton. Obviously having both new International CBs out injured is bad luck and gets plenty of mentions, but understandable that Llorente gets hurt because he shouldnt have even been on the bench as Bielsa wanted him to get fit by playing a couple if halves for the U23s before coming back but that got screwed up, so feel sorry for the lad and obviously us as we lose out again. Pablo will get some game time and Struijk will be on the bench too so our bench will still look pretty good. January transfer window gets mentioned a lot as some see us panic buying defenders, I dont. Then players we are going after plenty of mentions but no new names just rehashed stories again. And Riqui Puig only mentioned twice so far today, but it does look like Koeman is playing him a lot more at the minute Investment getting a few lines but we shall see what happens there as any cash injection could go to Radz to buy Villareal
Berardi could be back February. Can he have an impact on the first team squad? Should Bielsa name his starting line up a couple of days in advance of the game? Surely everyone knows how we set up anyway. Does it matter? Rodrigo in. Dallas back to full back. Have we stumbled on to our best XI?
Is he going to have to post on the U23s thread for a couple of games before he’s back up to Bielsa fitness Hope nothing serious Ell
I think with Bielsa revealing his team early is just how he works. He has made his mind up, that job is now done and he doesn't have to think about it anymore he can concentrate on other things. As for the opposing manager does it play into their hands or does it make them overthink their own team selection? I hope you are on the mend Ell.
Hey, Chest infection, and constant coughing causing severe abdominal pain. I think I'll be in hospital tonight
