No idea where Malacia is meant to be playing here

Been a while since we've seen Leeds facing Man Utd

Some serious strawmanning going on here

He could replicate his uncle's disastrous spell there

We've needed a midfielder even before Shelvey said he wanted to go

And we usually play all 4 anyway with one being at left mid

You reckon?

An extra midfielder gives us options in the run in and possibly the cup. You can't tell me there's no one out there better than an unfit Jonjo Shelvey?

We've needed a midfielder anyway with or without Shelvey. We needed one in the summer too We've played our 4 centre mids in pretty much every league and cup game.

If we're well ahead of the plan why not try and stay well ahead of the plan? I don't think many are saying Shelvey shouldn't be sold, it was that he wasn't replaced. It feels like a complete unnecessary gamble that we've such a good opportunity for a cup and strong league finish

Exactly that's part of the problem, we've ran our 4 centre mids into the ground every game. And now we've had a player banned for 3 games, another on the verge of a two game ban and another has pulled his hamstring Surely you can see the frustration of not plumping up the squad when we could go for top 4 and win a trophy?

I'm not sure how you reach that conclusion

Fed up with our unthreatening we are from set pieces

Shows how good he is that today was his first yellow of the season. Pretty unheard of for a defender

It was fine to let Shelvey go, it was not bringing in anyone which is the problem Similar to Wood. Obviously we got Gordon but today we had one off the pace striker and nothing else

It's a dreadfully poor decision to leave us so short. Maybe we need to stop waiting for our first choice to become available when we're running our players into the ground week in week out and actually have a decent squad?

Nonsense. You can be pleased with our business in previous transfer windows whilst also criticising the decision to leave us so thin now

Really poor today I thought

Is he out of the final if he gets booked next week?

It's not hindsight when some of us were saying we're desperate for a centre mid since the summer never mind in January
