Leeds (A) Sun 4.30pm

[Dan]

Win please, Reds.

[Walrus]

Glad I opened the thread.

[Cam]

Alisson

Cafu Aldair Lucio Carlos

Zico Fabinho Rivaldo 

Firmino Ronaldo Ronaldinho

 

This XI has the added bonus of overshadowing the return of a certain someone down the East Lancs road. 

[oakie bob]

Karius is registered for this I hope, got to protect his value and play him

[D.Boon]

Unleash hell.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

It's a game that Klopp's philosophy is not intimidated by.

Alisson/Kelleher and Firmino/Jota should not impact the style too much - for style its Fabinho that is the bigger impact but we can cope (I think, of course).

For Leeds, with no Raphinha - they might play Daniel James down the right with Ayling where they have been more active.

After the United defeat, they have gone 3 at the back vs Everton and Burnley. 

I still think that a high energy, man-on-man game will suit us

The midfield should have Henderson & Thiago in it. If Fabinho can play then he should be in there too. 

[Dan]

The Samba boys have been cleared to play.

Alright Dave?

Not looking forward to this one. All the stats suggest they're porous but they caused us problems last year.

Not if we win the next 30 out of 34

Far too early for that kind of talk. With there being 4 potential winners this year the winning points total will be lower as we'll all be taking points off each other.

Well it may not be a must win but if we will contend we need to beat a Leeds team that will finish mid table at best.

Interestingly we only finished 10 points ahead of them last year.

United literally put about 12 past them a few weeks ago. If we can't beat teams like this we can forget about the league.

I didn't know we only finished 10 points ahead of them. I hated last season. We are really bad for loads of it.

It should have been 13 points if we weren't robbed at Elland Road. And by robbed I mean if the 'Ox' didn't dribble a last minute shot right at their keeper from 10 yards. 

[Nerik]

It will be an open game, they will attack us and cause problems but if we take our chances I cannot see anything but a win for us. 

[usualsuspect]

Any team whispers?

[Nebraska Red]

Saw a midfield 3 of Thiago, Fab and Henderson in a few places.
