    No idea, I’d just like to know more about his team. I have no doubt Bielsa calls the shots but I also suspect the team he has are very important

    i would rather have pontus and sign another quality defender to play alongside him.Beradi has done well but he's only a stop gap for me.it will fallapart against a side that plays football such as Brentford .

    Well fortunately you don't pick the team. :)

    Bielsa does, and I'd suggest that he might well be able to spot a good player too, and oddly enough, he thinks that Cooper does fit the bill :)

    If Cooper was as bad as some say, he just wouldn't get a game. He does.

    If Cooper was as bad last night as some suggest, he's have been pulled á la Phillips. He didn't.

    Perhaps you can spot a player, but perhaps you can't spot a Bielsa-requirements player?

    Trying to think of the quote from Bielsa last week which explains his tactics. There is no plan B if Plan A isnt working we replace players to carry on playing Plan A. Plan A wins more points than trying Plan B. All week practicing Plan A so why try Plan B and more time spent getting Plan A right. Something along those lines

    Mind you, not sure Revie had a plan B. It was just ‘overwhelm the bstards’

    The way I look at it is as follows:

    On the positive
    • We didn't lose;
    • We didn't let in any goals;
    • We didn't let Middlesborough close the gap;
    On the negative
    • We didn't win;
    • We didn't score any goals;
    • We didn't increase the gap between us and Middlesborough;
    That explains why it was a draw then.

    You're probably right Eire, I know the commentator said he'd be recovering for about 5 or 6 weeks, but I think it'll be longer, plus, he'll find it hard to get in team by that time as everyone will have learned how to play with, and play off each other, especially those who need to get in sync with the likes of Alioski, Saiz and Pablo, and now Klich.

    This is a bit of deja vue when you think of Taylor Roberts.
