Have to agree with everyone else, we were superb last night. I've long thought Alioski would be better at left back. Seemed like Derby just wanted to foul, perhaps thought they could rattle us that way. Love the way we are making those sweet little interceptions,because they often nip in from a couple of yards back I guess opposition players think they have time to receive the ball comfortably.
Didn't think you were far off mate, we were the ones that thought Navas, at the end of the day he is a big name coming over from Spain, that's all you originally said, glad you posted it and hope you do again if you hear another, as far as I am concerned your rumour was correct
Good shout that because I meant to mention the fouls earlier. But when you see the savagery of some of those assaults as they weren't tackles some of them. Besides 2 penalties and a goal disallowed we had no protection from some of their players. I reckon 2 were straight reds This is why we need to bring in a couple more as Bamford and Baker if fully fit will be big players but imagine them being attacked, and I mean attacked. As it stands right now we could have lost Alioski and Cooper last night, Harrison took stick too and Pontus could have dislocated a shoulder in his mazy run before being chopped.
Bielsa is a genuis, it doesn't matter what happens now, nobody can deny that we have witnessed the best Leeds performances we have seen in what, 15 years? I have always thought though, it has to be right man at the right time with the right ingredients and a splash of fortune and I am really believing this is our year. We can analyse players, debate who Bielsa picks and how good or bad they play but one thing nobody even Bielsa can influence is the injuries and have some been a blessing in disguise, I was wondering would we have dropped points if: 1) Blackman hadn't got injured when he was set to replace BPF who went on to save a penalty 2) Bamford getting injured so Roofe wasn't subbed for the last 10-15 minutes and twice over Christmas he grabbed last minute winners 3) Dallas getting injured so Clarke gets pushed up the pecking order 4) Saiz sulking off so Pablo switches to number 10 providing that bit extra 5) Douglas getting injured and Alioski puts in his best game of the season
Perhaps the break during FA Cup week helped some of the players. Any news on Jansson and the injury he picked up at the end?
Can I point out yet again the wisdom of resting a lot of the squad last week and getting out of the pointless FA cup. Well done Bielsa. Does anyone believe we’d have seen the same performance last night had those eleven started the cup game. Not a chance. Also good we’ve no midweek games For a while. Should recharge the batteries further
Don’t we need someone who could step in and maintain the current style of play? I was thinking Pulis but we’d have to pay to free him up?
Might as well try laugh about it, no point in worrying. Hell go if authorities keep pissing him off and club doesnt back him like today
That's the problem with Radz and his big mouth. It's very notable how Bielsa always accepts the blame for everything and supports his players, whereas Radz just tries to play politics. He "Radz" has a lot to learn, he is still a very small fish in a very big pond.
Nor do I. It wasn’t a joke, I’m worried he might. Depends whether he was involved in club announcement and happy with it, because at face value it reads a bit like a public reprimand.
Im disgusted with the club. This is not the Leeds way and Bielsa can do as he likes its not illegal. Some bloody chairman weve got he needs to grow a pair like the players.
