To beat a confident and strong attacking team like Arsenal is a very tall order especially with so many key players still out injured.
But there maybe a way to force a nil nil draw and gain a vital point in our Premiership survival.
I know Bielsa would never allow it even in this serious predicament, but would Marsch deploy the dark arts on Arsenal. ?
Would we want to see our team, time wasting with goal kicks and throw ins, diving with every Arsenal tackle, shirt pulling, really get up Arsenal’s nose like Allioski did with Pepe to get him sent off. ?
Fat Frank has Everton pretty much doing this now with players like Mina and Antony Gordon.
It’s very likely that Everton will take all three points against Leicester with a number of changes to their squad and with injuries plus nothing to play for.
My question is, can we play a spoiling game to win a point and would any Leeds fans want to see this type of, in my opinion, "anti-football" to get something out of a game.?

Anything has to be an option OP and this sounds a good plan to me. I will disagree with one thing though, I do reckon Leicester will beat Everton and I have Ville to beat the Dingles and then Leicester to beat Fat Lampys Band on my coupon. I honestly think that the bubble will burst for both of them this weekend, not that I’m going as far as to say Leeds will win (as much as that sounds amazing) but I don’t think too much damage will be done to us this weekend, fingers crossed eh! 🤞🤞🤞🤞 We just need all the optimism from you, Brighty, Class, Alf, Baz, Aus, Leodis, Sweaty and all the other keep the flag flying posters on hear because the lads need us! ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠come on you Leeds MOT.

No. I would hate to see that. I'd rather play proper footie and go for the win but risk a loss.

No mate.
It’s not in our dna.

Glad you fellas feel the same, I heard that Marsch had used spoiling tactics at RB Leipzig.
Definitely don’t want to see this Anti-football at our club.
If everything alignes tomorrow our passing sharp and our tackles hard, Gelhardt leading the line, Raph and Harrison having a blinder and our defenders nullifying Sako and Martinelli, well why shouldn’t we win.
Our boys have to be up and at them right from the whistle.
Anything is possible in football.
MOT.

Would make me physically sick for any Leeds Team to mimic fat franks football philosophy, honestly Pickford finding it hilarious in time wasting from the first minute made me want to smash the tv in!
We’ve won many more games playing aggressive but entertaining football and no reason why we can’t get the necessary points by playing the ‘right’ way.

If it meant we stayed up, I could just about accept a hob nailed boot approach tomorrow to take a point. If we snook a goal, then great. I’d take Jose’s bus if it means a point!
But time wasting is a no no. Full stop. Hate it!
