Why do leeds put their teamsheet out 48 hours before game ? surely better keep cards close to chest

You could well be right, but he featured in the first half of the season when some our football was quite breath taking at times and we were winning far more consistently.

 

to my mind i would rather surprise the opposition with announcing it 1 hour before kick off then even if the opposition guess what the line up is they might start to think maybe bielsa has another plan , and they would then be caught in 2 minds which will upset their concentration and possibly they wont guess the 11 players that will play, thats why its better keeping your cards close to your chest , and bielsa could still tell the players that are going to be playing 2 days before internally , he could also announce publicly that he has chosen the 11 players 2 days before the match and make it known to the press that he has a little surprise when he announces the team 1 hour before kick off, this story then would get out to the opposition and make them think yes their is some reason why he has not released the team selection yet ( keep the opposition guessing some of the best managers in the world do it )

 

leedsoflondon i totally agree with your selection thats how i would have it with the 2 wingers alioski down 1 side and harrison down the other unless jack clarke was back then he would be in harrisons place and pablo needs a more inclusive role , dont forget douglas was injured and is coming back to form soon so yes douglas gets my vote , we need experience against west brom but can have a few youngsters in there ,

 

Now you know why he does it. Panicked a young coach to mess with his team selection, helping us to a 4-0 win. Put a CB at LB and went with a four

 

lets hope it works against bristol city

 

I echo that my friend
