Let’s all criticise Bielsa ...

“ his bad, lesson learned, move on”

Ok, fine if that is truly the case. My concern is that ‘stubbornness-personified’ doesn’t feel any remorse ... and he needs to imho.

how do you know this?

Tbh I don’t know atm ... hence my earlier posts that i want Bielsa to show some sense of ‘having got it wrong today’ ... if he does that, I will happily concede/agree that he has learned his lesson.

He got it wrong. He won’t be the first or last manager do that.

He will own up. He will be fine.

Let’s just concentrate on those five or six wins we need to be safe.

“ Let’s just concentrate on those five or six wins we need to be safe.”

Amen to that.

Ok, time for me now to soak my head(!) so see yous all another time😁👍💙🏆

Would have thought his substitutions were sorted in his head a couple of days ago and he wasnt changing them for anything, this is where i think sometimes he can be questioned as a manager but never as a coach hes one of the best if not the best,
Win on saturday and this will be forgotten

"but never as a coach hes one of the best if not the best,"

I have to disagree to a degree here.

I love what Bielsa has brought in terms of standards, ethos and integrity.

But you absolutely can question a coach who has the same issues (chance conversion and vulnerability at set pieces) season on season and appears unable to address them.

.... it already has

Yes today was very humiliating BUT it's not important in the big scheme of things this season. Priority 1 is staying up and 2 is holding onto Bielsa. I wondered about a cheeky surprise top 6 finish after the Villa game but would now settle for achieving just 1+2. I figured something like that might happen when I learned who was in goal.
