Same performance as last night, please. In fact two lots of the second half please.

In many ways a much more difficult game than yesterday. This season we have seemed to struggle more against teams that run with the ball (Vile, Southampton , Leicester etc) done better against those that try and pass their way in (Liverpool, City,Chelsea etc) or hoof it (Burnley, Sheffield Utd )and Leeds fall into the first IMO
Baggie for life not just for Xmas

Their keeper is a weakness - look at his performance v Burnley. SA will know this and exploit it.

It's harsh but Robinson out Pereira in for me. Grant did enough to keep his place, he actually played really well second half. Hoping the fitness levels are good enough to pick a similar team

I hate to say it, but we have to be cagey, open up the game too much too early and they will love it

See Lawro has us down to lose 0-2, following his 3-0 prediction for a Liverpool home win.

Good analysis. Correct that their side can probably out run ours all day long. Although with Livermore banned at least we don't have to carry him in the midfield and Gallagher has a great engine. The one thing with Leeds  is that they do give you a chance to counter attack them and they risk leaving their defenders one-on-one so most of their matches usually have a lot of goalmouth action and chaos.

Think I saw something that said they are bottom for many defensive metrics.

To be fair, did anybody else predict anything different other than a Liverpool thumping?

Follow the same approach as we did in the second half against Liverpool.

Allardyce will relish playing Bielsa. He isn't a fan of a pretty football love in  ;D

I thought I has us to draw but I am informed I had pressed the one for an Albion win. In the words of Capt Mainwaring, "You stupid boy."

It's crucial, we mustn't lose, but a win could really get things cooking

We've taken points off City, Chelsea, and now Liverpool, but they'll mean nothing if we don't start picking up points in games like these.

We need to get a couple of wins on the board soon. Leeds will come here wanting another 3 points, and if they play as they have been we'll struggle.

Very difficult game, their pace and energy is electric so we will have to really match them in the opening half hour.

If we can do that, as the game develops I think it would swing into our favour. One thing I want to see more though is the ball sticking up top for us, as that will help us play to Sam’s system and strengths and help us pin teams back territorially as we did against Liverpool second half.

Would be a great time to grab a home win, but they’re a good side with a good coach so it will be tough.

Interesting clash of styles, but equal worst defences

It’s all well and good parking the bus, but can we score a couple of goals for a win against a very dodgy defence

Let’s see

They looked a little stale against Burnley so I'm hoping the relatively quick turnaround compounds potential Bielsa burnout at this busy time of the football calendar. Those stats posted by MarkW make for interesting reading too.
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.
