I'm divided on Raphinha, he's certainly not the player he was for us last season, but that's hardly surprising given the bunch of duds he's had to play with. Even this season he's had some amazing moments with assists and goals. But he's gone in summer and it's probably for the best. Let's just enjoy (or endure) the dying embers of Bielsa's legacy - whatever league we're in, Leeds United will be just another team next season.

I read on ceefax (I know, I’m a Dinosaur. I read the gossip bit especially every morning whilst eating breakfast) that Raphinha has made a deal with Barcelona that they can sign him if Leeds are relegated. IMO, if this info is true, this won’t make him want to score the goals that keep us in the Premier League!

#meetoo....page 302 etc for gossip and scores and league tables and fixtures 👍

for me this is a must not lose / must win...it is either us or burnley. think the toffees unfortunately, will be safe.

Man City paid 51 mill but value him at 200 mill.
Yep, outstanding piece of business.

Looking forward to a banging atmosphere, hope the team match it

How's the nerves sportsfans?

Quietly confident we'll come out flying.

Sh ! tting it here Shaun. But that's normal for me.

he was one of those duds half the time.
not a leader by any stretch of the imagination.

Wondering what line up we will go with tonight? Who will be RB, RWB? Will it be a change in formation?

Could we see Shackleton or James RWB or will it be a cb there. Will Firpo play 😱

Some decisions to be made.

Jeez Louise the line up .....

4 Centre backs playing, James up front by the looks of it



Meslier
Llorente
Cooper
Koch
Struijk
Phillips
Bate
Harrison
Raphinha
Rodrigo
James

Firpo and Klich on bench.

Real progress from the club o go from phillips playing at centreback on occasion to been able to field four of them at the same time...

Not sure what to make of that, Hope Bate does himself and us proud

I'm going to do a quick gripe about seeing Dan James
upfront once again in the hopes that me whining about
it leads to him scoring the winner.

Last week him dropping rod had me questioning him.

This week its not starting shack.

Matty, you're right, shack should be in at RB.
Joffy might need to have James kidnapped.

We didn't sign a midfielder in Jan because they didn't want to hinder the progress and opportunities for our youth players. Well Bate is that gamble tonight then.

Did forget to say I'm happy Bate's in and having
Cooper back at least gives us a puncher's chance.

Can we go Live Please Admins

Right from Spin Doctor Kinnear's lips that Shaun.

Hope that dead weight fcker leaves in the summer.

Is Marsch playing Koch at RB, Llorente RCB,
Cooper LCB, and Struijk LB?

Trying to get my head around that line up. Weird

Meslier
Llorente Cooper Struijk
James Philips Koch Bate Harrison
Rodrigo Raphinha

This would make sense maybe? Doubt it tho

4 CBs is still not as weird as James upfront.
First touch of an elephant. Shooting prowess
of a blind drunk.
