Roys brought more discipline and shape and they weren't bad against Liverpool.

saw that game. they seem to have an abundance of speed and hustle. think an early goal would work wonders.

We’ve won 7 games this season. Only 1 by more than 1 goal and they were scored late.

It won’t be easy.

Their results haven’t been great and their home form is shocking but their performances have been better of late.

It’ll be hide behind the sofa as usual.

I'm getting to the point where its better for my health if I don't watch at all!! I suffer from a squeaky bum, sweats, palpitations and twitches when I watch us live at the moment.

2 miles from my house, will be meeting a few before the match!

Got 2 nil loss, late 2nd, first goal soft VAR penalty, Cooper Red, Phillips injury written all over it.

Hope I'm wrong but I got a sneaky feeling it'll be a calamity showing for some reason. Must not lose.

Let’s be realistic about this. We are playing with Coops and KP in the team, so we can expect a lot more possession and control. We can also expect more width in our play if KP’s distribution is up to speed. We are loaded with Premiership quality.
Watford’s problem is that they are a Championship team who play decent football, but do not have the players to compete over whole season at this level.
If we are close to, or at our best, we should win this one. I am picking Raph and Harrison to benefit most from KP’s return and a proper 2-0 ‘nothing to see here’ performance. And I also predict a week’s reprieve for Wilko’s sofa.

…and Milkyboy’s.

I’ve been a Leeds fan so long fella that I now have a second sofa placed behind my main one, so I can at least ‘watch’ Leeds games in physical comfort to help offset the mental torment

This is going to be a tricky fixture to negotiate.

However, if Phillips starts and we get the first goal, ai get an inkling that providing Dennis continues his poor run we could come out of this with a 2-0 win.

Raphinha and Dallas before the end for some reason with Harrison providing the assists.

Now would definitely be a good time for a clean sheet, but not at the cost of missing out on a win.

The reason why we haven’t had as much width or possession isn’t because of Phillips and Cooper. It’s the managers system.

We are going to be less susceptible to conceding during transition with Marsch. And much more difficult to manipulate. Which we do need. But we will never be as good on the ball as we were under Bielsa. We aren’t going to suffocate teams with the ball and it ain’t going to be pretty. Not unless Marsch has a huge shift in philosophy.

He believes in staying very narrow and compact on the ball so that if we lose it we have lots of players close to the ball to win it back quickly. (Complete opposite to Bielsa) Marsch also values getting the ball into dangerous positions as more valuable than having the ball. Which is why we are now seeing so many forward balls that are 50/50s instead of taking the simple option inside and building an attack.

Ever the optimist Shaun

I’ll take a point today.

We always seem to struggle against teams in a bad run.

Let’s hope other results go our way.

I had a dream last night we won 5-0.

That would boost our gd.

I wish 😉

W e have struggled all season so dont see any reason to feel confident today. Way i see it if we win we are safe, if we draw it will be a struggle and could go either way but if we lose i think we will go down so to me that makes this our most important game of the season. Im hoping and praying for a win but rarely lately has leeds made it easy for any of us to relax

Day not started well...Everton 1-0 up.

just a realist

It's been said, Watford are dangerous.
And no pushover. It'll be a tough game.

Frustrating - Everton currently holding on and not being really threatened

worst home record in the league, not won at home in 8

seriously dont understand how we lost to either of those teams

Team: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Cooper, Dallas, Klich, Koch, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, James.

Subs: Klaesson, Struijk, Phillips, Gelhardt, Hjelde, Cresswell, Summerville, Greenwood, Kenneh.
