LIW.. I was yes mate, during his baron spell.. but short of a week or ya I’ve been behind christiano all the way! Promise 😂

Shows how fickle we all are ...

Don’t make me bring up when said “Phillips gets nowhere near the first team if we want to get promoted” 😂😂

One big problem there lad

Phillips wouldn’t have done way he was playing for years. The improvement, nobody could see. Not sure I’ve seen a player improve so much. So yup got it wrong

You was saying Bamford to get dropped weeks ago 😂😂😂

Defo said for christiano get dropped!! My bad! Think it was frustration of him not finishing!

Phillips has amazed everybody.. it’s actually astonishing.. goes to show what a top quality coach can do..

And it is the same thing! Ya b8ll end 😂

I hope the article was as it looks on the face of it.. and not just another dig at the club in some way, such is the reputation of the poster, which, I’d imagine prompts defensive posts from certain posters.

give it a rest eh.

Same.. apart from 2 weeks of having my head turned, simply a holiday romance 😂

Christiano is our man to get us promoted! Even if he does run like a girl

"Anderlecht were unbeaten in eight games with Roofe in the side until drawing on Saturday"

If they drew on Saturday, aren't they still unbeaten?

I’d rather have Roofe with Bamford than an on loan youngster - however good he maybe, Eddie. Eddies great I’d just prefer we still had Kemar.

VOF, as I recall, Roofie was in last year of his contract. His agent was pushing for wage parity with Hattrick Bamford. The club did not appear willing to pay him that amount.

And he was off - QED?!?!

Indeed JLA ..... that’s how I think it was panning out.

As for Phillips improvement. I and others near me thought the season before MB got to him he was a good player, just needed better coaching & maybe players around him. But no way did we think he could develop & improve as much as he has. Who cares who’s right or wrong, I just think it’s great to see the guy doing so well - and he’s a decent lad to boot ..... everyone’s a winner 👍👍

Don't be so negative, much more fun to take digs at others and proclaim what a jenius (sic) one was for predicting everything correctly!

Roofe was played out of position for most of his time at Leeds pre bielsa. He beefed up a bit worked on his holding the ball up and did really well for us last season. I thought his lack of pace would restrict him as a striker, but alround play and work rate overcame that. He was a loss in the summer, we’ll find out if it’s a costly one by the end of the season.

Re Phillips, he was terrible when he first came into the side. I certainly didn’t see the player he has become... some of it is circumstance though. All our midfielders looked terrible at that time... and a big part of it was they had no one to pass to. With the system we play now, there are always receivers available... it lets takent flourish and maybe flatters a few too.... the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Most off the team has improved under Bielsa, he's the making off this team and anyone that says different should open their eyes!..

And looking at what Roofe says he's more or less saying he's the best there is!..

A lot off players and manacoaches in "the modern game" saying the same!..

Ok Germany...I will open my eyes when the coach
and players achieve promotion!

NJS, that means you don't think we're doing any better now than before Bielsa?..
