***Spurs vs Leeds United***, PL, 4th October 2025 at Elland Road

[glorygloryeze]

What: Leeds United vs Spurs, PL match
When: Saturday 4th October 2025, 12.30pm K.O
Where: Elland Road, Leeds

No league wins since West Ham but no losses. Plenty of angst about style of play, which will/should probably be somewhat tempered by remembering how many injuries we have in attacking roles.

Also….no wins in the games before an international break since early October 2023 at Luton – which was also a Saturday 12.30pm kickoff, oh those were the days: a win when having ten men and a clean sheet!

For this match I’d go with:

Vicario
Spence Romero VDV Udogie
Bentancur Paulinha Sarr
Kudus Richarlison Odebert
​

Bergvall, Tel and Simons to come off the bench in the second half as needed.

I’m going to say we are going to close that two-year cycle and get a hard-fought win here: 2-1 to us, Richarlison double.

Bring on the badgers.

Leeds have started very well and should come at us, which I think might actually suit us. 2-0 win, Xavi and Tel.

Vicario
Porro Romero VDV Udogie
Bentancur Palhinha
Kudus Xavi Tel
Richarlison

Vicario
Spence Danso VDV Udogie
Gray Bergvall
Kudus Simons Odobert
Tel

Leeds can't score for brick, so I'd play our quickest transitioners in the double pivot. Assuming Romero and Muani won't be fit yet.

 

[NLS]

I would go

Vicario

Porro Danso VDV Spence

Kudus Pahlinha Sarr Udogie

Bergvall Simons

Resoning- Udogie has looked like the best option going forward on the left....

Richy can't trap a bag of cement....

So I woukd play Bergvall and Xavi as 2 false nines with Sarr running from deep....

Control the game , keep the ball and play some nice stuff for a change....

Some might call me a football genius for playing that way , others might say I should keep my ideas for Sunday morning football.

Can you guess what i'm thinking?

 

[NLS]

No, i can't.... I only possess a gift for football management......

If we don't play Johnson or Richarlison we have a chance

3 v Wolves and 2 v Bournemouth says they can, 4 more than we managed against those teams.

Vic
Porro. Romero. VDV Udogie
Gray. Pahlinha
Kudus Xavi Tel
Richy

Though I do quite like Sarr in the 10 away from home being more of a presser, in which case Xavi wide left, Sarr at 10 and Tel on the bench

How, it barely feels like a fortnight?

 

[lurker of old]

Control the game , keep the ball and play some nice stuff for a change....

Oh I say! 4 4 2? false 9s? that's so very last year or the year before..........next it will be jumpers for goalposts and no VAR.................(Mind you, it would be interesting to see Spence and Udogie on the same side of the pitch.........)

It's an extremely difficult game, a real test of our spirit. It's a cause of concern that our forward can not keep possession and we have to rely on our midfield and defenders to score.
