Not having another striker option with 15-20 minutes go lost us the game IMO, and to think a player who was good enough to replace Edison Cavani, and Zlatan Ibrahimovich can't come on or play alongside Bamford for 15-20 mins is rediculas imo.
When we win another 10 I will be happy, till then ground hog day will probably kill me before the season end.
When he does get to play he is going to have an incredible goal average if you’re sure he would have scored in the final 20 minutes. We lost due to Kiko and we didn’t win due to multiple players missing multiple chances. If Kiko had done his job we’d have drawn, if we’d have put one of the multiple chances away before that we’d have won.
Spot on WC. I appreciate that players are humans and have feelings, but they are professionals and Bamford is well paid. Now I'm not a Bamford basher, and I know he does a lot of stuff off the ball, but he is paid to put the ball in the back of the net. He isn't and should IMO be dropped because let's be honest, if he's scored half of his chances we'd be running away with this League. The problem is that up until last week we didn't have any replacement forwards. On a positive note, we are still hanging on in there.
We've lost 9 point we should have won, out of our last 12,what’s to lose by giving him 15-20 minutes, we could lose, ow hang on.
I know how you feel Chesh. There's two things that can happen in the next two games. We either get a few points from them and consolidate our position or we get no points and drop into the play offs.........
Augustin - Just read we paid £1.5m to loan him and his entire wage of £35k a week on top. Bielsa spoke to him and he wanted to work with Bielsa to improve him, I’d imagine we’ll see him soon, if not Radz might have a few words to say
He's had better support than any player at Elland Road this season, if that's not good enough then he's too needy and needs to go. We've blamed every player in the team, fans the lot for Bamford not scoring, it's time to call a spade a spade imo.
I was put on different anti biotics for each course. I was sent for an xray and it came back clear, but the pain in my side from the cough got so bad that I went a week later to the a+e and after another xray I was told it was broncitis.
You’re asking me and again, if it were down to me with my limited knowledge and going by Wiki I would have had him on the bench. I agree with Jammy, it would have been the buzz created over a new player as much as anything but it wasn’t down to me. I have to trust Bielsa who has more knowledge and who has spent a few days with him.
I know and we all know better than Bielsa, but the thing I'm really worried about is come may, me being right.
I think you should flip the coin and look at the other side Ristac, If a team has 2 shots on target, and score 1 or 2 goals to beat us, and we have most possession and better football, with 18 shots and 5 on target, and no goals scored then the other team are doing something better than we are, which comes down to their coaches tactics. I agree tactically Wigan didn't beat us, it was a lucky goal, had we had someone on post (Berardi would've probably been there) but they got there goal and stopped us scoring. Tactics isn't just about the opposition scoring on counter or on a quick break, it's how they defend against us. Most, if not all teams now seem to know we try to walk ball into net, so they pack their penalty area, that's a tactic outsmarting Bielsa, cos Bielsa never changes. They have only 2 or 3 shots at our goal, but score enough to beat us, that's a tactic outsmarting Bielsa. Other teams now know how we play cos Bielsa never changes, in other words, Bielsa is transparent and predictable, he sticks to same pattern game in game out. While we can see our football is good football, and we have most of possession most games, it's predictable to other teams. They know about Bamford, Harrison, and Ayling going too far forward etc, they do their homework as well. Other teams advantage is, Bielsa is predictable and never changes.........and very very stubborn. I pointed these things out at beginning of season, and halfway, copped flack for it, now people are talking about what I talked about at beginning of season.
