I continue to be amazed and delighted at the way Bielsas has transformed Leeds this this season.
Is not just the results but the way Leeds have been playing pressing entertaining football along the way.
Today's performance demonstrated another aspect of Bielsa's work.
It is obvious from the way Sheffield played that they were intent on bullying and intimidating Leeds into losing their discipline. The put the boot in and put Leeds off their game approach. And they must have thought it was going to be their day when the officials seemed to think such play was all ok.
Last season Leeds under Christiansen would have ended up with a couple of red cards from a game like this. But not this year.
Bielsas has got into the players heads.
They are mentally stronger and were able to cope with the bullying approach and prevail.
Winning away in a Yorkshire derby against this Sheffield side is a result that we may look back on as the one demonstrated that this Leeds team, this Bielsa Leeds team had what it takes to win promotion.
I can only echo the sentiment from a previous article that this is the sort of performance promotion is made of. May they continue to seasons end.

Given our league position and competition for places, all the players have more riding on this and are less succeptable to rash decisions. Under Christiensen, we were sliding down the table when we were picking up the bulk of our reds.
Bielsa is brilliant and is quite simply one of the best managers this club has ever had. We've got belief, character, determination, everything we ask for in a team.

A top manager for sure, but a genuinely nice man with some great qualities .some of the stuff he has instilled in our players will set them up in their careers whatever happens from here.

With results like the ones we’ve had since W.Brom where we’ve either ground out the result or had fortune favour us, I can’t help feeling that this is the season we go up.
Long way to go, but I can feel it in me water!

5 stars from me, was a noticeable attribute of the side, the restraint shown despite constant cheating, there is a real focus at the moment and credit to Bielsa for that.

The result was immense, not given enough credit by some. Stopped a very good side especially at home from playing.
