    Would you like to setup a gofundme thingy. Marcos and that Jammy lad are loaded and might give it a big start

    The elephant in the room is still what to do about Dallas, Klich, Forshaw, Ayling, Cooper and Rodrigo.

    Dallas’s career may be over naturally as his injury was a career killer for some. Hope he gets back to somewhere near full fitness and if he does he probably has another season covering 2 or 3 positions.

    Forshaw has hardly played for years we may as well let him leave in the summer but maybe need him to cover for Roca and Adams, but don’t forget Gyabi, Greenwood and Archie Gray, so Forshaw could still go next month.

    Cooper is a big worry, he gets injured more and more and we also lose him to suspension every season, plus he always gives away a couple of penalties. Good skipper though, but maybe his time is join the summer.

    Ayling like Coops spends more and more time on the treatment table and is now not as effective as he was under Bielsa. Is that age catching up or the way Marsch uses full backs? Hes also out of contract in the summer and having him ahead of Drameh means Young Cody leaves. Marsch has said he thinks Drameh deserved to start against Elche, which means he sees him on a par with Kristensen and Ayling, yet will watch him walk away and then have to spend at least £10m to replace him. Seems to be no logic and think the fans deserve to know what’s happening

    Rodrigo is a strange one because he’s obviously fitter and more mobile than the other old hands, and he’s now doing the job we all thought he was bought for. I see him as frustrated, angry at times with his treatment and lack of service like the other night. If he is to be used as a striker then he wont like the fact that Marsch carries on bigging up the failure known as Paddy Bamford. Too much mixed messaging is a huge problem it seems to me at the club and maybe JM needs to stay silent sometimes. It was big news all over Spain this week that Rodrigo wants to end his career at Valencia. Stories ranging from Valencia are talking to Orta about Rodrigo, will Rodrigo be offered a new contract, Rodrigo said he loves Valencia his daughter was born there, Rodrigo denying he will go to Barcelona even though his mate is manager. Rodrigo says he and his family love Leeds and have settled well and he wants to finish the job he was brought in to do. So somewhere in there is the real story ….. Louis Enrique leaving the Spain job has also started a conversation about Spains lack of goals in the WC and leaving Rodders at home when he is scoring in the prem?

    On Klich it’s a well known fact Marsch promised him game time to ensure he got picked for the World Cup squad. Marsch reneged on that promise and Klich was left at home. Yes Marsch has now said he feels for Klich and in fairness to Marsch it’s his right to pick the team he wants, but from Klich’s perspective he has been shyt on. Marsch again the other night said he had spoken to Klich and wants him to stay ….. he also said the same about Drameh in the summer and again theother night and why I believe Marsch needs to keep his dealings with players in house. Weasle words as far as these 2 are concerned. Klich is wanted in plenty of clubs in Europe and USA, but it seems DC United is the one he’s chosen

    Well we are in bloody trouble if we’re relying on Forshaw as cover, he can’t play more than five games without getting injured, which only leaves the possibly unready youngsters. We shouldn’t be this short of cover as a premier league team. Thought it was Bielsa that wanted a small squad?

    Awww shame so see yah klich you are history. Too slow and the yank league retirement standard will suit him. As for Drameh he can't even take Aylings spot so sell him.

    In Jan I think we NEED to strengthen just to stay up in this league. We NEED a LB/LWB, we NEED a DM/MF and we NEED a ST that can score goals and not least stay fit!

    My biggest fear right now is that we get rid of Klich and are planning on using Forshaw and Dallas as cover (like new signings) and that’s it for Jan, no new players. That would be catastrophic and I fear that will send us down.

    If we somehow manage to keep our best players fit and on the pitch, we may have a chance to stay up. But that means March needs to get the team to defend better than we have so far.

    Still, I can’t wait till the WC is over and we can watch some real football again:emoticon-0100-smile

    Think the club need to understand that we don’t want Radz saying Forshaw is the new midfielder that replaces Klich. Adams will already be missing for the City game due to suspension so we will be 2 mids down before we start.

    That is not good. There’s going to be a lot of games once the restart.

    Useless Southgate as usual picked the wrong team. Frogs scared shyt less of Rashford but plays Sacko instead. Sakhalin not in the game Bellingham not in the game and all because Henderson selected making it tough for Rice and Bellingham against the frogs. Get Henderson off put Phillips on to play alongside Rice to assist Bellingham, put Rashford on and let’s push the frogs back

    Southgate should resign, end of. Our players were better than France’s except Mbappe but our manager is a shytbrain who makes wrong changes and changes too late. Idiot

    Don’t agree doc. Bringing Grealish on for last 90 seconds could have been a master stroke

    Lots of talk about the so called golden age England players which caused the end of a few England managers, but this current crop recognised as being the best players ever. We did have the best players but Southgate Mr Risk Averse hasnt a scooby. Very much like Portugal who had a great bench but the manager picked players in the wrong positions. Resign Southgate
