Now a chance to go second if we win tomorrow. Never thought I'd be saying this but thank you Arsenal. Now imagine how funny it would be if we overtook Man U after all their bravado these last few weeks!

For me, there's not enough distance between now and our last shite performance to be confident of anything. That said, 2nd half at Everton was a real tonic. Showed we backed ourselves to come back. We're developing a consistency. A first choice lineup is establishing itself and putting in performances of quality and belief. We've got a decent sub's bench that's reliable (even if not yet challenging in every position)

But let's see what tomorrow brings. We've enough about us to take all 3 points, and the belief to do so, but assume nothing.
 
Leeds only have one method; they will attack from the whistle. We need to be prepared to defend well and then attack at pace when we have the chances. Their defence is appalling but we need more movement than we showed against Everton in the first half if we want to break it down.

It's a game we should win, but when you have players of the quality of Ndidi and Vardy missing, nothing is a sure thing.
 
I'd have Under start ahead of Albrighton, I think we looked more dangerous when he came on at Everton and without Vardy we need a bigger goal threat on the wing that Albrighton carries.

If Ricardo started over either full back in a rotation I wouldn't mind that either

They only really have success against teams that are shambollic and/or timid. Leeds are like a 10 year old playing Fifa, chasing anything that moves and **** all defensively. The keeper is a right weed and other than Bamford they’ve got **** all basically. Play it smart, get Perez drawing them out to make space for Barnes. Madderz, Justin and Tielemans are in the form of their lives.

0-2 to the Super Whites.
 
We will not be so dangerous on the counter without Vardy upfront so being so we are going to have to concentrate on winning the ball back, keeping it, and pinning them back, otherwise, they will break us down. For that reason, I would have Ricardo ahead of Under for this match as he will help out more with winning the ball back in midfield.

Defend very high, compress the play and we should be able to dominate quite easily, then it's just a matter of trying to pull their defence around as they will make mistakes and leave gaps.

I disagree. Raphina, Rodigo and Poveda have all looked pretty good when I've seen them.

All look promising until the end product. In games I've been willing them to do well it's all good before kicking it out for a throw in.....

All bodes badly for us.

Actually that’s a lie. I remember Poveda come to think of it because he’s young but has a name like Colin or Barry or something.
