Fair play London, not sure Phillips will be a cb full time think bielsa is still trying players out. On alioski I'm 100% with you on that point.
What did you think about Alioski, Saiz & Pablo as a line? I thought they were poor. 3 creative players, and not a lot to show for it. Alioski improved on the right, but didn't really impress, other than a few good crosses that the Diddymen couldn't reach. Pablo was slow to get into the match (was it after Saiz went off that he picked up? Coincidence? Honestly can't remember.), and Saiz had a bit of a stinker imo. Today confirmed my long held view that neither Pablo or Saiz are wingers. Yet we play them there.
I know he's meant to be the best coach in the world, but he wants to play three at the back with only two CB in the first team squad. As chesh would verify, my maths isn't good but I think I've spotted a flaw with this.
Maybe time to bench him might be the kick up the arse he needs. Having said that I really don't think he's ever going to be good enough for the championship or English football in general. Fancy Douglas and Dallas on that side, Dallas isn't the most exciting but he's a 6/7 every game.
I haven't had it confirmed by official sources but allegedly in his early days Alioski shared the same coach as Neymar (I'll fetch my coat)....
You confused Neymar with Tom Daley. So don’t trouble yourself getting your coat your taxi is here...
