Good Morning Everyone Bielsa revealed at his pre match presser that Leeds should be 10 points better off due to the amount of chances they have had! “We’ve had close to 250 (clear-cut) chances to score this season. The other clubs have had about half of this. “The top teams in the league score one in three chances and the teams that are down in the table, they need five chances to score one goal. “We’ve created 250 so the offensive play of the team is the best (attribute) we have and if we improved our efficiency or had more luck, maybe we would have another 10 points or more. “This is me making analysis. The real thing is the results but to correct results and to improve, we have to make this analysis.” The under-23s travel to Burnley on in search of a spot in the final four of the Premier League Cup. The Whites make the short trip over the Pennines to Burnley's Barnfield training centre for a quarter-final clash. Carlos Corberan's side have already beaten the Clarets this season 6-3 at Turfmoor as well as a 2-2 draw back at Elland Road. The match kicks off at 2.30pm, and is a behind closed doors event! Needless to say Izzy Brown will be playing for the youngsters. I understand the youth team is important to Messrs Caberan and Bielsa but Brown is costing us £35,000 a week. Surely he should be playing for the first team?
Good Morning to Matt and co from a sunny Bardsey I agree Brown should be playing for the first team Has he announced the team yet? I know that both Pontus and Forshaw are fit
Morning all Suspect that if Izzy Brown is going to be on the bench tomoz he will only play half the game today or maybe not selected at all, which will give us an idea about team selection tomoz. Will he use Berardi or any other first teamer today? Clarets know its a tough game for them so gone behind closed doors as they saw how many fans we had in Colchester Monday night. Don't expect us to win this cup but semi-finals will cap off a great season for these kids.
Translates Even if it's impossible, do not claim anything, swallow poison. Accept the injustice that everything is balanced in the end
5 chances to score a goal If we had a clinical goalscorer we'd be up by now U23's Burnley were obviously cr*pping themselves with a large contingent of Leeds fans invading Turf Moor :lol: Good luck to our young lads Izzy Brown Pointless signing
1-1 half time and Burnley have deservd that. Leds been terrible going forward especially down the left. Brown is a big miss today as he has been the glue and the touch paper but missing. Male in our goal has been superb which shows how much ball we are allowing them through bad passing. Sure Carlos will kick some ass and we get a better perormance from Bogusz, Stevens and Edmondson. No Clarke today as first team tomoz and only really Kun on the bench to add firepower. Diaz having a great game as well as Aapo Halme
Leeds are back in front! Temenuzhkov plays the ball out to Oduor on the left and Ryan Edmondson heads home the cross! 1-2
It's all over at Barnfield Training Centre! Leeds United Under-23s are through to the semi-final of the Premier League Cup with a 3-1 victory over Burnley!
