wonder what this means, doing better or worse than expected
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to BBC Sport: "It's difficult to play against a team who need the points. We attacked well and defended well in the second half.

"[Our season so far] is not what I expected but it's what we've been able to obtain up to this point."

I think he expected more. He’s not used to second best.

Must agree he impressed me. I hope they stay up as well.

Not sure they will unless they start scoring. Might just have too many loan players to stay up.

It will probably boil down to Fulham 's final game of the season winner takes all shoot out against Newcastle.

Very honest interview.

They've made a real go of it after looking dreadful at the start of the season. Would rather they stay up than Newcastle who are just miserable.

A lot of loans in their team atm, so if they do stay up, got a big rebuilding job in the summer.

Thought we deserved the win although we made hard work of it at times. Fair play to them still being in the mix after a dreadful start to the campaign. They've got some decent players, that leggy midfielder ran us ragged at times.

Always very impressed with Parker. Great young English manager. Good luck to him. 👍💙

Your assessment again seems a bit glass half empty, Jonty.

I thought we did exceptionally well to come away from London with the three points last night.

Ayling's goal should have stood and their goal should have been disallowed for the foul on Ayling by the goalscorer.

Bearing in mind they were fighting to stay up, I thought we looked quite comfortable.

What's more, Bamford showed Southgate that he has made a stupid selection error - like Watkins has anywhere near as much to offer. His goal was a peach.

Phillips and Meslier were giants, Roberts had another good game, and even Robin Koch got a few minutes.

That substitution seems to show Bielsa will consider trying to shut out the opposition using defence rather than attack in the last ten minutes, to defend a one-goal lead.

It was vital we took all three points last night because we don't want to be looking over our shoulders for three weeks, do we?

WE ARE SAFE, and still with quite a few games to come. That is a real result. I'm still predicting 9th. That would be fantastic. Feel really great this morning thinking about next season. Things are unfolding very nicely for us.

Gotta say it - Bielsa for World President!

Wrong thread, apologies!

he did but gave the ball away too much while holding on to it for too long. would drive me crazy if he played for us.

Yeah he had his moments, but dam he looked good when he did things right. Lookman was disappointing for a change.
