Jonty, did Bielsa not say that before White played for Leeds!..
Wonder what he thinks now, my opinion, White is better!..
Much calmer on the ball, more skill when bringing it out, doesn't flap or charge in like Pontus did/does!..
"Pontus is a rock from set pieces. Probably woukd have conceded half of this season's goals had he been playing."
Shaun, yet again I disagree with you, you can say something if you want but usually when I ask you you never come back so I'll say it how I see it!..
Set pieces, White has done his job and done it well!..
Half the goals?....somehow I'll say I don't think so!..
And it could so happen that we could have let half as many more in if he was still here, forget not, he was out for a period last season and the stats against him suggested Leeds were better without him, so, if White had have been in his place it could have been even better!..
Not sure how we expect the side to be better when we cut the wage bill and sold over £30m worth of players?
Expectations are way way too high. We finished 3rd and in an ideal world we would have spent £30m and won this league with ease.
You look at sides like Fulham who could keep plenty of premier quality players and add extra talent an West Brom with parachute payments have been able to tweak their squad and add real quality. If we finish top 2 if would be an amazing effort.
Back the players and manager who are doing everything they can. If we are failing then let Radz and co know.
You compare with end of last season not beginning of last season re team.
We had 3 cbs end of last season one of whom Burns’s said was best player we’ve now got 2.
We’ve lost our top scorer.
We’re playing our left winger as a left back a right winger as a right back, our reserve goalie has never played a senior match for us.
Costa is good addition but is he better than Pablo whom he’s replaced.
You can argue we’re weaker than last season you can argue we’re about the same but it’s very hard to say we’re stronger, and every man and his dog knows squad is too small and we’re already seeing that issue start to bite.
We are forgetting something in this comparison of this year v last.
Teams are becoming more savvi on how to play against us...
People are saying this season the league is weaker than last season, if that's so why all the crap against this team?..
This team is good enough to do well, they might be having a sticky patch at the moment but that happens to all at some time, no reason why they cant go on a good run and no reason why others cant go on a bad one!..
We're doing as well as any at the moment but seem to be the only ones dragging the crap mill to Elland Road!..
2 ponits between us and 1st, 4 points between 10 and 1st!..
11 games played and some are on suicide watch, bloody hell, if we get promoted there might not be enough here to celebrate it!..
Looking forward to a good season but beginning to wish it would hurry up and end, the crap flying around these boards are no different to the end off last season, and all that is doing is bringing people down, and that includes the players!..
MOT, others laugh at that and we're giving them reasons to laugh more!..
Rob, Glad to see you take up the offer. I hope you are wrong and not because of the tenner. Either way someone who needs it more than me or you will have it. But if we don't go up this season I really worry about when we will.
If you compare our side now to the side that finished last season then it compares more favourably because there was no Saiz. And for all his faults he had a lot of talent.
The squad is too small though. It was last season. But that's down to Bielsa. Still I think that our dominant style of play will be more beneficial and outweigh our weaknesses.
Not sure how Costa has replaced Pablo btw? Pablo is still here, while fit he played ahead of Costa. And no way will Pablo be dropped to accommodate Costa in the side if he is fit and Costa is starting. The change would be Pablo to 10 (where I would prefer to see him) or drop Harrison.

But Bielsa has to find a way of getting more goals out of this team
----
He does although I still stand by my point after Charlton that players need to take responsibility. Bamford and Klich presented with good chances recently - Bielsa can't put the ball in the net for them. Agree, time for Eddie to come in just to freshen it up and see what he's about.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Best Fans, Bielsa coaches the team and I assume he oversees their shooting practice. We do not threaten enough when we are in the opposition box. Our shots from outside the box are dreadful - take a bow Pablo, Klich and Dallas. We can't even put a penalty in the net. You can see the team's morale suffering with each successive lost opportunity. We just don't seem to believe we can score. Contrast this with when the opposition have a go at us. We look scared when we have to defend. We lost possession in our own half four or five times. A better team than Milwall would have hurt us more. Bielsa has a lot of work to do in the break.
We are just getting warmed up...be above you January time xx
