Leeds United’s season kicks off this week and we are ready for the Championship – even if the squad isn’t quite there yet. At least young Cressy has put pen to paper.

T shirt ???
Running out of Americans to blame.
I say this repeatedly but ….Get rid of Bamford NOW!
We can’t get excited about the Hearts game there def a pub team the overweight sub looking like Rab C Nesbit coming on for them capped it off. But we did look good. A good striker and we win that 4-0. The Forest team were very very poor we made them look like the championship team. If we can get Farke his 5/6 in he needs I think he ll take us back up in style. But 10 out 1 in so far ain’t good. He ain’t happy
I suppose Rob cannot wait to see Harrison take another corner too or run into a cul de sac after another wonderful first touch.
I know lots of players have left, Apart from Rodrigo & Wober are we actually any weaker without them
Meslier
Ayling Cooper Struijk Byram
Ampadu Gray
James Sinisterra Gnonto
Gelhardt
Absolutely love Moscow and Rob absolutely nailed it when he was talking bout wober😂😂😂❤ keep up the good content.. wills probate and conveyancing. MOT ALAW
sign Piroe and Hamer, theres your 9 and 10
I'm all for Byram if Farke wants him. He has the ability, experience and leadership qualities, 2 footed and Leeds own. It's all about his injuries – that's up to medical analysis. And he's free!
It's quite interesting looking at Farke's choices for #9 against Cardiff assuming Bamford and Rutter are not available. Options: Gnonto – not a great pre-season; Gelhardt – Farke sees him as more of a #10; Joseph – does Farke see him more as a winger; and Greenwood – where is he? I reckon I'd start with Gelhardt with Joseph on the bench to come on. But will Gnonto be a surprise start with Summerville as #10? I could see a potential partnership with those two.
Interesting thanks. One quibble, Daniel Chapman’s delivery is funereal
( that sat for for a few seconds before it landed ) “Wi-Fi “ 😂🤣
Just listening and can’t move past the fact we still don’t have a solid, reliable LB with only days to go. Same old and deja vous.
Patrick Bamford should just retire. He is physically not capable of playing football.
Once again going into a season relying on Bamford & no left back third year in a row absolute s**thouse this club
Don’t you think we signed the wrong James …..??…should it have been Lauren
Excellent as usual but give the t shirt a miss please
A lot of these players had six weeks off for the World Cup break, plenty of time to work on the fitness side of things.
Best of luck to the square ball and all lufc fans ahead of what will hopefully be a great season 😄
a slow start, mostly draws then post xmas go from mid table to somewhere in the top 5
We play old vs young every so often at footy, the average age of those teams are low 20s and upper mid 40s, every time the older team wins. Experience and communication matters a lot in football.
Cheers guys. I see Sunday as going 1 of 2 ways. We play well, win comfortably enough, Archie has a really good debut, happy days and optimism. Or we play okay, but pick up a couple of injurues, including in midfield. Panic and worry set in given thin-ness of squad (aside from wingers)
Bamford enjoyed it most without fans. He’s a bottle job when fans are in ground can’t handle pressure
Let's quickly forget the wastrels who have thankfully left us and not mention their names until next summer.
The fitness thing is shocking. I think that is the one aspect of being a manager that I could actually manage myself, but it was beyond Jesse Marsch it seems.
Funny how it was obvious after the first friendly what we were trying to do in attack and defence…
Rewind to Marsch complaining that the players don’t get it a year into his job at Leeds 😂
laughed out loud about Darlow's teeth – nice one
Sign Byram
If you ask any Leeds fan to name our most influential player over the last few years the answer would be unanimous — Pablo Hernandez. And just as Pablo made Bielsa's team tick, so Buendia did for Farke.
And yet in a few days we are about to start our third season without a recognised playmaker.
It would be great to see several signings in the next four weeks but at the absolute minimum we need a proper No.10 and a striker
I still think Joffy can be Pukki-esque in this system with our wingers. Bamford and Rutter getting hurt could be great timing for Joffy.
Our last two Championship seasons with Marcelo were two of the most enjoyable seasons ever. Not because of the outcome (although that certainly helped in our promotion season) but because of the football. We played glorious, beautiful football in every game.
If Farke can deliver 80% of that kind of football then I’m all in for this season.
As for Jesse Marsch and the players’ lack of fitness, it’s making my blood boil when I think back to the press conference where he criticised Marcelo about how the players were overworked. That man had nothing but empty words.
You made great points about the players who have gone not owning up to their own failures but having contracts that allow them to move on and wash their hands of the problems they created. When Angus Kinnear comes on, I’d like to know what’s being done to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We want players like Coops who genuinely fight for the shirt, not players who just play lip service. Oh, and I don’t want ANY of those players back who have f’d off to play in a higher league. Roca and Wōber may have an option to come back but they are NOT wanted.
Feeling good about the upcoming game now we have an actual manager and the team look alot more confident
Oh Dan please don't start with that. He did it right in front of the travelling Leeds fans. He actually looks right up at the Leeds fans. Even IF he meant to direct it at the Forest fans, why did he do it right in front of the Leeds fans? I am so sick of people defending him. Also, obstructing the keeper for Dan James' beauty was just so Bamford.
Easy to slag him off, but fair play to Angus for coming on, can’t berate him for that
