Phil said the club would have signed a left back even if Ali had stayed.1964white wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:16 am Shame Alioski didn't stay as our squad is wafer-thin especially with left-backs Huggins & Davis gone whom probably weren't good enough tbh. As you say Ali actually made an impact off the bench contrary to our PL subs now.
Doesn't excuse the fact we only have one official LB
So a 2nd left back was a target to?
That means we can now make it 3 targets we havent got
Dont want to turn this into another transfer debate but its blatantly obvious atm this window hasnt gone well.
I dont even know who is the u23 left back now?

I genuinely wonder how much of an injury crisis it would take to get any of the u23s in the team?
I actually am not overly fussed about the u23s, if he doesnt rate them then he doesnt rate them.
But still baffles me sometimes how 1 injury can make Bielsa move 3 or 4 players around rather than using someone other than his preferred 13 or 14 players.
Its astounding when most managers loathe to make unnecessary changes if they can do a like for like change whereas MB is the total opposite and will perform positional musical chairs rather than trust someone outside of his 13 14 faves.

McCarron who we signed as a winger from Carlisle is now playing LB, he has impressed me in that role to be fair.Cjay wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:27 am Phil said the club would have signed a left back even if Ali had stayed.

Re: Burnley v Leeds Utd Match Thread/Apparently KLICH & FIRPO unavailable today!
Forshaw not match-fit & Rodrigo's work rate in the middle of the park would be a major concern for me.
Re: Burnley v Leeds Utd Match Thread/Apparently KLICH & FIRPO unavailable today!
Sky sports showing Llorente fit, Koch out.....no mention of Klich or Firpo being injured
Re: Burnley v Leeds Utd Match Thread/Apparently KLICH & FIRPO unavailable today!
Play three CB's Llorente, Cooper & Struijk to cope with their front two Wood & Barnes
Ayling & Jack as wing-backs
Dallas & take your pick from the other candidates in the middle, probably be Roberts or Rodrigo.
Meslier, Raphinha, Phillips & Bamford the other starters.

This is going to be either 0-3 or 1-3 to Leeds and Raph,Bamford ad Dallas to score.

Re: Burnley v Leeds Utd Match Thread/Apparently KLICH & FIRPO unavailable today!
Personally I'd happily start Roberts over Rodrigo atm, never let us down, is creative, hard working, good tackler and better in the air than Paddy
Rodrigo works best as a false 9, or 10 playing off a 9. We don't play 2 up front much if ever so our choices are somewhat limited for him while Bamford holds the 9 spot
27-29M for Rodrigo who is a top class player, what's to say if we added a 30M AMF he'd start?

Klich tested positive for Covid I'm hearing.
McCarron, Gelhardt and Cresswell among the younger members of the team this afternoon.

So I'm assuming Kalvin the 8 and Pascal the DMF... otherwise we get over run surely

Is he though? Can we afford just the one centre mid.

Look at the bench, there wont be a weaker bench in the Premier league this matchday.
Back 3 of Struijk, Llorente and Cooper presumably given Burnley play 2 up top?
