The game against Arsenal will be huge. Arsenal have scored only one goal from open play this season, and look very leaky at the back. I reckon they'll see Leeds as the perfect game to try and bounce back.

I think it’s a good game for us to bounce back too though you never know with Arsenal as they can be great at times.

Everton and Chelsea follow as well which will be hugely tough. I’ll be very pleased with 4 points from these 3 games

think Man Utd as well after that. these are better games for us imo. teams that will come out and don't sit in naturally. They all have fantastic players of course so will have to on top of our game and can't make silly errors. These are the games we wanted to get back to the Prem for though so we need to enjoy them whatever the results they won't define our season.

I hope the club are looking at two midfielders to bring in the January transfer window.

Yeah agreed. We mustn’t get carried away either way. Difficult at times as we’re used to seeing Leeds win most games in the last couple of years. I have every confidence we will be more than good enough to be safe but Bielsa has some work to do. Raphinha has to start in the next game and hopefully not much longer for Llorente.

When’s Philips due back?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Nov 09, 2020 12:21 pm  

They said it would be 6 weeks, but it could be more or less, so who knows.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Nov 09, 2020 1:35 pm  

The worry for me with Phillips is they are saying he doesn`t need surgery which I`m sure is the hope.
But the way he plays the game I wouldn`t hold my breath that this does not come back to haunt us.
What we don`t want is to see him sidelined towards the end of the season due to another injury to his shoulder.
Fingers crossed and prayer mats out.

Definitely, and i don't think we'll rush him back, and that's why Bielsa wouldn't put an exact time frame on his return.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Nov 09, 2020 1:51 pm  

So after international break he’ll have been out about a month then so unlikely to be back for Chelsea game

I think I read somewhere he wanted to take pain injections for the arsenal game? EDIT: https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leed ... l-19258214
