So Spanish, is that a 5 or 6 man team?..
If Phillips is anything like Radebe he'll be just fine in goal!.
"NJS, I though football was about scoring goals
Maybe I’m naive.
Controlling the game doesn’t win football matches
Scoring goals does !"
Pro, I hope you never have that discussion with LIW!.
I feel 99% confident I can pick a better team than Bielsa did today.
You're very naive Promotion, don't coach...
"I feel 99% confident I can pick a better team than Bielsa did today."
Why is it not many people are going to believe that?..
I’m not a coach
I’m useless
Still think Bielsa got it wrong
Unfortunately that’s happened rather a lot this year
I was told since February we were 17th in the championship
I honestly don’t know
I’m prepared to criticise if there’s a problem
Promotion that's great contradiction:
"Controlling the game doesn't win matches
Scoring goals does"
Don't give up the day job!
2019 has been a shambles
2 poor transfer windows and amazingly didn’t finish in the top 2
Or do you disagree?
Please educate me
He’s not wrong.
Doesn’t come across the right way, and it’s a shame because his message is lost at times
I’m rather blunt LIW
Agreed
I still think we have a chance if we get lucky with injuries and Bielsa learns by his mistakes.
I was in the west stand and just in front of me Leeds were getting Shackleton ready to come on when NF scored their goal. Leeds then changed their mind and Shackleton sat down again and later Costa was brought on. My opinion is we’d have done better with Shackleton on the pitch. He is fast and seems to be able to pass players and carry the ball a long way up the pitch.
We really shouldn’t have lost that game. Let’s hope the young Arsenal lad can make the difference for us.
Forshaw played well today. Id drop klich if anyone. Been poor for a while now
Klich was shattered after 65 minutes and lost his man twice within 15 seconds which opened up space for forest. Should have been taken off for Shackleton straight away but Bielsa was too slow to react.
Should have been two or three up by that stage and 90% of the time we would have been. I’m not worried. Costa looked excellent when he came on and will be the difference this season
Klich > Forshaw all day.
That dive today was poor from Forshaw. Klich would have had a shot on target from there.
Forshaw is neat and tidy but creates very little and cannot shoot for toffee.
2 blatant trying to con the ref penalties. But 1 stone wall pen. I
Klich is better than Forshaw. Don’t think people here realise how good either of them two are. But for whatever reason Klich was gone. Needed replacing. I love Bielsa. Best thing to happen to us in a long time. But he was too slow to realise he need replacing.
Just like he was stupid to refuse Orta’s decision to bring Ben White in last season.
What we lack is a proper 10 who would basically be the second striker. Vydra as I felt all summer would have been perfect
Based on today’s performance Pablo will play 10 and Costa will be on the right
Outwood makes a good point on Klich. He epitomized last season. Was immense at the start and after november time completely fell away.
I appreciate he couldn't have kept up those levels. Its a new season so lets see how he does but he is in a key position for us in this system and he isn't having enough of an influence.
Thanks snapski for that unbiased opinon from Leeds United's C team.
Yep i like Klich a lot and want him to do well.
However if you think about the first two games and towards end of last season hes been poor

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reckless kick that connected with the Leeds player’s calf and the push a couple of minutes before the end were penalties on most fields most weeks.
I’m assuming that you agree with the first and not the second?
If so, please try the following exercise:
Stand on one foot only. Close your eyes and then raise that foot so that your heel is up and only toes are in contact with the floor. Have someone stand next to you and blow on your cheek or tap your upper arm, and tell us whether you remain in that position or stumble.

Which is why I think he wasn’t convinced by the one that definitely was a penalty.

Agree.
Said this myself. Forshaw was a disgrace and should have been booked. If you keep appealing and i think both players and crowd appealed for maybe 10 penalties over the course of the game its going to get in the mind of the referee that you are playing for penalties and hes less likely to award you one.
