Dowell over Tzolis is interesting though, but then so’s Rashica as a wing back. Maybe he thought Dowell offers more defensively than Tzolis if playing Rashica there.

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 31, 2021 That team looks like a group of unorganised scrabble letters. Not sure you could get more than a 3-letter word out of them, either. I don’t want to be too critical without knowing how the team will do but if @lake district canary had put that team out on the ‘line up for Leeds’ thread I reckon he’d have been reported and banned on the spot. I can’t work out wtf is going to happen down our left hand side? Wanted to see Tzolis and Gilmour back in. I’m struggling to see how McLean has earned a spot over Lees-Melou, too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 397 Posted October 31, 2021 Its a curious one, Im going to withhold my judgement till after the first 20 minutes. Very surprised to see Sargent keep his place and Tzolis not start. Odd to have Rashica as a wing back, really not what I would have done but hey ho thats me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not we need someone who can hold the ball up and offer that outball when pressured. Say what you want about his striking prowess in front of goal, he’s done that job pretty well.

The Great Mass Debater 1,092 Posted October 31, 2021 Would anyone complain if Farke fielded this team? This is what I'd pick and I think most fans are thinking similar? 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,081 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Surely it makes more sense (still not a lot though) if one of the CB's is actually playing LB in a 4-2-3-1? Krul Aarons, Kabak, Hanley, Omo Normann, McLean Sargent, Dowell, Raschica Pukki Edit - Yes I am aware of the madness of playing a centre back at left back whilst having two on the bench!

Leeds aren't a side that we will need to hold the ball up against, they will over commit and there will be space to run at them. I think I would have gone 4-2-3-1 and matched them. But like I said this could be a master stroke and im going to reserve judgement as I couldn't call it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ve spent weeks training with 3 at the back. Much as I’d have liked to see us build a team in this formation we haven’t and so I’m going to be honest I’d actually be more worried if he threw everything out and went 4231 in this match.

TheBaldOne66 697 Posted October 31, 2021 Astonished at that line up tbh! Why have we bothered to bring in 2 loan players that never get picked? And a young guy who we are told is going to be world class, yet can’t get a look in despite the dross we’ve had served up week after week! Lose today and that has to be the end for Herr Farke surely!

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,849 Posted October 31, 2021 I'm guessing Rashica has to be at left wing back, because the side doesn't have a left back for a back four. Despite what the official club graphic shows, I'd guess 3-4-1-2, with Dowell playing as a ten behind Pukki and Sargent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jambomo 215 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I can’t see how Tzolis and Gilmour played badly enough to get dropped and not be played again but McLean and Sargent play game after game despite being pretty poor. Edited October 31, 2021 by Jambomo 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
