I'm excited for it too. Pleased that we are actually trying something different. I think this gives us a much better chance and I'm interested to see it play out. Not happy about the kick off time - 8:15pm just stupid. Fucking sky TV. Just waiting in the car outside ER before heading in. Looks baltic outside.

I’m not a Farke lover but we are not in a position now (and I don’t trust the board) to upgrade him. My ideal is that we use this formation for tricky home matches and most away ones and find a way to survive. It’s a shame Farke didn’t show this amount of flexibility early and I would have given him full credit for it. Anyway I’m excited for the match, the first one I’ve felt like this since Brighton. A midfield of Stacy Ampadu and Tanaka feels nice and balanced. I’m hoping Tanaka grows into the league with more minutes and Stach’s ribs and head are better! Come on Leeds!!!
