Leeds United v Hull City - MATCH THREAD - Bielsa makes eleven changes

[SG90]

Under Bielsa we've won 2 games in the EFL cup and none in the FA Cup. Very poor.

[dezzy]

Kiko being captain suggests he’s staying for the season?

[mothbanquet]

He should be. 2 defeats in a row and losing at home to a lower league team is not a good look.

Bielsa threw away the cup last year v Stoke and we lost an opportunity to give more fringe/young players a chance.

We're not big enough to disrespect the cups. Fans want trophies and cup runs.

I'm not too bothered, not right now anyway.

Yeah, a poor stat in fairness, one that would drive him nuts

[Richard]

For anyone not watching tonight’s game, it’s the worst I’ve seen us play in 2 years of Bielsa. I can’t pick a positive apart from we should be 3-0 down

[White Riot]

Who’s up top Rodrigo or Roberts?

Casilla will be when he makes one of his maniac runs up the pitch.

[Cjay]

Just want to see Poveda given the ball more, he has the ability to do something different.

Also credit to Kiko for making 2 decent saves.

[Smudge3920]

Looks like I predicted right .....4-1... be a great 2nd half

[andrewjohnsmith]

I agree with making the changes, but Davis and Cresswell at the back and Casey in mid is just too many. I would have played Koch to get more game time for sure, probably Strujik too. I think we threw in 2 or 3 changes too many.

[dezzy]

Casilla will be when he makes one of his maniac runs up the pitch.

And I’m sure he’s better at that than under a high ball

[andrewjohnsmith]

Bamford, Harrison, and Phillips at half time?

[1964white]

Just back from a meal, missed the first half

WTF is going on

[Cjay]

Struijk for Casey.

good move MB

Pascal Struijk on for Ollie Casey #lufc #hcfc

It's a wasted opportunity. We look like the Leeds of all of those who were masquerading as coaches before Bielsa

Don't understand Bielsa's thinking here, unless he's trying to emphasize that most of this lot will never get a start this season for the first team.

Dreadful and disjointed performance.

[SG90]

These players should still be doing better. Shack, Douglas, Roberts, Alioski, Rodrigo are all experienced players.

[White Riot]

Making Grant McCann look like he's transformed into Klopp

[White Riot]

Struijk for Casey.

Thank fook

[andrewjohnsmith]

Pascal Struijk on for Ollie Casey #lufc #hcfc

Surprised its Casey and not Cresswell. Thought Casey was slight ahead in the pecking order

[Chilli D]

As faaip alluded, the youngsters will hardly have played since March and as such it was a big mistake to throw so many in, even if it is only Hull.
With 8 league less to play this season we should be looking for a cup run.
Still time to turn it around but a defeat will be embarrassing.
