Christ... I forgive Henderson for his recent errors compared with what Martinez has just done!!0

Cracking game at Villa. Man U were 2 0 up and cruising. Now 2 2 , Couthino off the bench to score the equaliser on his debut.Depressing how far removed we are from this level of football though.3

In real danger of getting sucked into the relegation battle if they don't raise their game soon.ForeverAddickted said:Rafa Benitez must be living on borrowed time?0 -
And after Arsenal managed to get the NLD called off Leeds send a squad with half a dozen teenagers on the bench to West Ham, two of which have had to come on inside the first 25 minutes. One of them Lewis Bate, as mentioned elsewhere, was at Chelsea but moved to Leeds for £1.5m - he was in the same Beths school side as our Richard Chin and Euan Williams.
I really do hope that Leeds win because they could have used the same excuses as many PL clubs are doing at present but chose to play instead.2 -
I'd love to know how Arsenal get their game called off yet Leeds are forced to play despite a crazy injury list.
7 teenagers on the bench today at West Ham including one who is 15.
Then to make matters worse, 2 of their players have gone off with injuries in the first half meaning 2 of those teenagers are now playing.0 -
Two injuries during a game and you're whining they can't call it off? When are they going to do it, in the 20th minute?1

I don't think that he is "moaning". The point is Leeds play their matches no matter how many players are out. Whereas other clubs look at their situation and choose not to use teenagers.SELR_addicks said:Two injuries during a game and you're whining they can't call it off?

Maybe after having multiple games postponed last month and them still having loads of players out injured points to something they're doing wrong in training.0 - Sponsored links:

Not sure you read my post properly. They already have a ton of injuries, but have filled their bench with teenagers. Why couldn't the league make Arsenal do the same?SELR_addicks said:Two injuries during a game and you're whining they can't call it off? When are they going to do it, in the 20th minute?
Pathetic that they're forced to put a 15 year old on the bench, and we're expected to believe a club of Arsenal's size can't find 15-16 players in the entire club.1 -
FWIW i know this isn't Arsenal's fault, just seems ridiculous from the premier league. I completely agree with what Neville and Carragher said the other night.

They didn't have to, they are clearly making a statement that you're eating up. Archie Gray is the only player making his first appearance in a Leeds squad and he's 15. There are other older players available he's been chosen in front of.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

They have more than 13 first-team players available that have been in multiple squads this season. Yes they have a lot of injuries but cry me a river.
They have 6 injuries and their squad has always been threadbare, this is why they get into the situation they are in.0 -

They did apply to call off two games but could have done the same with the other half a dozen they did play if the criteria was that you don't count contracted teenagers. Arsenal will have dozens of those and would have been able to put out a side.
And it's not necessarily "something they're doing wrong in training". They just don't have the size of squads of established internationals that the likes of City, Chelsea, United, Liverpool, Arsenal etc etc enjoy.0 -
You count teenagers if they have appearances in squads before. Leeds' youngsters have been in squads before because their squad is so thin. Arsenal's haven't.Addick Addict said:SELR_addicks said:

Thin and not as big as the big 6. Chelsea have an England international on loan. Leeds have to bring on a teenager who has never played in the Premier League. So, once again, we are rewarding the clubs with all the established Premier League money. I bet you wouldn't be quite so understanding if Arsenal could call a game off and we had to play West Ham with seven teenagers on the bench who had ZERO PL starts between them!SELR_addicks said:

No surprise but Rafa has been sacked.1

Not surprised in the slightest after losing to Norwich.ricky_otto said:No surprise but Rafa has been sacked.
Wonder if Newcastle wish they'd done it sooner0 -
The bigger question is how do Leeds still have 10 players out after playing only 3 games in the past month?
Maybe they should have addressed it in the 16 days of the january window so far.0 -
Maybe just maybe they don't want to go the way of so many clubs like Derby for example - and have to cut their cloth accordingly. Maybe some of those are long term injuries too. They can't rush those back any more than we could do the same with JFC.SELR_addicks said:The bigger question is how do Leeds still have 10 players out after playing only 3 games in the past month?

8 of their subs have a combined 1 premier league appearance between them.SELR_addicks said:

How is it only 6 injuries? Bamford, Phillips, Llorente, Roberts, Gelhardt, Cooper, Shackleton, Cresswell, Poveda, Greenwood. That's 10 injuries and probably i've missed more1 -
So they couldn't really say that the injuries were unforseen if they've been off for such a long time.Addick Addict said:

Bamford and others have been out since close to the start of the season for example. Do they call off every game from then onwards?
I agree the rule is garbage and never should have been in place. Liverpool calling a game off with false positive cases was the final nail in the coffin.0 -
This is an exciting match!1

And I still love the way Bielsa sets his team up to play. They won't get relegated either,0

Cracking game at West Ham. Leeds gone 3 2 up and just hit the post from a FK.0

4 2 Leeds0

Think this might be disallowed0

Very unlucky as Rodrigo couldn't get out of the way of it and it would have gone in anyway1

My pocket is talking in this game anyway, I need Leeds (at 4/1) to complete my treble in the "Beat The Bookie" competition!0
