We just kept taking one or two touches too many in the final third, Klich especially. Apparently, he needs surgery on his hip, so if Phillips and Rodrigo are going to be available, then I'd stand Klich down, he's been very poor for months now.

On a positive note, the back 4 looked solid, and Llorente looks quality

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:52 pm  

yes the back 4 has looked decent for a while now Arsenal aside. midfield is a big concern but is definitely going to be addressed in the summer.

agree on Klich, not doing it at the minute and needs to up his game or if he is injured rest him and just play a 23's player, all the games now are pretty much dead rubbers after tonight anyway,we will win a handful more games and finish mid table somewhere.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Feb 27, 2021 8:27 pm  

Costa and Harrison together don`t make a decent winger both poor.
Klich off his game again Roberts for me is not at this level yet.
I still don`t get it with Bamford even though I know Jack Burton has proved me wrong.
Hernandez should be in from the start and I would like to see Gelhardt given a few minutes.
Villa were poor and a draw would have been about right.
The positive as stated was the defence.
For me we seem to be playing with 3 or 4 decent players short every match.

Have I read this correctly that Phillips thinks it would be a good idea to let Rodrigo join Juventus in a swap deal for Costa stating Rodrigo is injury prone?
Surely that would not help team spirit if that`s true
Also Leeds to confirm the 11 million signing of Harrison to go with the 16 million wasted on Helder Costa last year.
We could have got Rodrigo De Paul for 27 million!!

I wouldn't take anything you read on Football insider seriously, it's pure clickbait.

Agreed. Llorente looks very good and great to see him get through another 90 he’ll be class next season. It’s easy to see where our problems lie. Klich Costa Roberts are just not quite good enough for me at this level certainly not as starters. I’d keep Klich to come off the bench. Harrison is also really out of form and yet again struggled to get control and move the ball forward quickly with Struijk at CDM.

Thought Dallas was sloppy too he sent passes astray far too many times.

RDP would make such a difference to us going forward and with keeping control of the ball in key areas he’s strong and great on the ball.

Yeah shame on the players not been good enough Marty. We’re only in premier league top 10 after 16 years out of the league. Terrible effort!! We’re judging them on what it will take us to move forward next season. They’ve been fantastic this season all in all where by in large it’s been 95% of the championship squad each week as we’ve been hit hard with injuries.

It was Leeds Live I read it mate and they are usually pretty good.

That's where I saw it, but they just post rumours from different Internet sources. Most of them are rubbish, especially the stuff they post from football insider.
