Their manager seems like a bit of a mouthy sod. Expect a strong team and hopefully a strong performance. Need to be switched on at setpieces.

Hopefully we take this more seriously than we have in recent years. Plenty of quality in the fringes of the starting lineup. Intriguing to see who leeds the line. Rodrigo, Roberts, Geldhart? Who knows. Really don't wabt another Histon, Sutton, Newport.

Crawley 1-3 Leeds

This is what MB said about the starting lineup:

"It was easier when I just named the XI. It let me think a little bit. There won't be any players who haven't played before."

So I guess Geldhart won't be starting.

the FA cup is what got me interested in football many many years ago. i love it.
watching the everton game now and the coverage is on all day and tomorrow.
really hope we field a strong team and make a statement of intent. Leeds to win 3 or 4 to zero.

I’m going for a 2-0 to us, with (if they play), Paddy and Raphina for us😁👍💙🏆

Poveda is going to score today. I have the feeling of it. Other goal from... Hm... Rodrigo, I think.

Poveda is going to score today.

Hope she doesn't knacker him, he might be playing tomorrow

Will be gutted if we don't get through this tie and become yet more giant killing fodder for the TV companies. We have more than paid our dues on than score and deserve a descent cup run. Come on Leeds let's put on a show for the live cameras and get our cup journey off to a winning run.

I want us to take it seriously, however at the same time some rotation wouldn't be a bad thing.

Give cooper 45-60 minutes after being injured.

Give rod a run in the 9 slot incase bamford picks up an injury and he has to play there.

Give povada and pablo starts.

Bit of rotation could actually benefit the team here, but at the same time we want to play it serious and go for the win

It's that time of year where we're now used to being dumped out unceremoniously of the FA Cup.

I wouldn't make too many changes so still playing a strong side with a couple getting a chance and then once we're 3 up then make 2/3 more changes.

Start with:
Kiko
Ayling
Dallas
Struijck
Alioski
Klich
Hernandez
Raphinia
Rodrigo
Costa
Bamford

bring on Shackleton, Davis, Cresswell

Ultimately we need to win this one so we have opportunities for fringe players to play competitive games, but too many changes see us lose these and then we throw away important chance for fringe players.

The worst of the worst was Colchester in 1971, when the FA Cup was just as important as the League. We were were at our peak and they just bullied us out of it. It took years to recover from the trauma of that one.

posted on 9/1/21

I would be happy with something like this.


Meslier

Cresswell Struijk Cooper

Shackleton Phillips Davis

Poveda Pablo Costa

Rodrigo

Rest the likes of Bamford, Klich, Ayling, Dallas, Harrison who have played a lot of football. But see no reason why that side isn’t strong enough.

Could play Raphinha.

We do have 5 subs in this game so starting a slightly stronger line up is an option and make changes at half time if comfortable

Greenwood and Casey were playing wednesday but MB changed his mind as of Friday Coops and Kalvin were playing centre backs, Shack and Davis full backs didnt ask about anyone else, nothing sinister in Roberts absence hes in the same boat as thousands at the moment,

Can’t go 3 at the back with that side. And Crawley have played 2 up front most of the season. They may change to a 5 man midfield for us but surely start a side you know can go 3 at the back?

Although just realised the side j have selected will force Phillips to an 8 if Crawley do go down to jsut one up top. Which is not good either.

Also looks like the Klich ends up as a holding midfielder even if we can go 4-1-4-1 with Pablo & Rodrigo as 8s. I know that we expect Crawley to much weaker than us but that’s still an incredibly open midfield isn’t it? Surely rest Klich and play Phillips who’s suspended for Brighton anyway? Klich looks most in need of a rest to me.

Philips misses the next game so why not play him over Klich who needs a rest.

Id play Shackleton and Poveda too.

Outwood agree on Philips, I thought it was this gamete was out for when not selecting him.

posted on 9/1/21

Apparently Cooper is likely to play, Llorente is a long shot to feature. Timely if true 👍

posted on 9/1/21

Casilla
Casey
Phillips
Cooper
Shackleton
Alioski
Dallas
Hernandez
Costa
Poveda
Rodrigo

That would be how I would go
