The through ball that he didnt commit to and Struyk had to clear off the line

tcouldnt disagree more. thought he could have stood up longer but he was simply narrowing the angle.
he was never getting there first at all

That was the one he was coming out for the ball then stopped then went low and Struijk came to his rescue.
To think otherwise as Tad clearly does is living in cuckoo land.
Even picked up by the commentators.

Rothwell would feel pretty pi**ed off if he was dropped on his current form to shoehorn Ampadu back into the team. We also lose the only consistent deliverer of a dead ball in the team. I wouldn’t want to go another 170 corners before we score again. As for Firpo / Byram, I don’t see it as that clear cut. A fully fit Byram gets in the team for me. Firpo is not a great defender and I’m happy when we’re on the front foot for that reason. He also doesn’t run in behind defences like Byram does, it can get a bit condensed when Firpo pushes up but doesn’t actually go past opposition defenders. It doesn’t help that we play with an inverted winger down his side. I think Bogle, despite his early critics, is the better example of an attacking full back.

Aye up mate.
I`ve been living in cloud cuckoo land for years, it`s not too bad
I know I come across as having an agenda where Messlier is concerned, same with Bamford and Harrison before that.
But I`m only commenting on how I see it which I`m sure to many is a bit bizarre.
Anyway I`m missing the Blackburn game as on my travels to Norwich so I won`t be having a go at anyone this weekend.

Farke will have a real tough decision to make when Ampadu is fit. The only way he gets back in for me is if Tanaka gets moved into a more offensive role. Rothwell has to be in the team because of his set piece deliveries and forward thinking passing style. Gruev doesn’t get near the team barring injuries.

Totally agree. i wouldn't change that midfield in a million years. Midds away or Sheff U away might be tempted to put Ampadu in there but apart from that i wouldn't change it.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Fri Nov 29, 2024 7:20 pm  

Whilst Ampadu is quality and our club captain.
He shouldn`t come straight back in unless Rothwell or Tanaka get injured or need a rest or we give him 20 minutes or so as a sub.
It will take him some time to get match fit after such an injury and it might not be until the middle/back end of January before he is ready anyway.
Good situation to be in though for Farke.
