    Bielsa and Hernandez won us that game!

    Just a observation but Phillips always looks twice the player when Pablo is on the field.

    Great tactical changes by Bielsa. Any complaints about being a one trick pony or no plan B?

    Keep Harrison on the right though please

    What a great result. We needed to dig out a performance in the second half and and we rose to the challenge. I just wish that Pablo was 10 years younger.

    Spot on about Bielsa and Pablo. Just one thing, I didn't like seeing Bamford on his phone in the stands, even when the game had stopped. But that's just me.<ok>

    Man of the match Bielsa. Tactically outstanding throughout. Was
    Like a puppeteer pulling all the right strings

    The other big positive from having Harrison on the right is that Costa is naturally a left winger. Might get the best out of him too. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I did at first, then thought, he probably hasn't got a full 90 minutes so better to bring him on if and when he's needed, which is what happened.
    Expect the same Tuesday, although I'd prefer Costa not to start, he's very poor imo.

    Although Costa made the first goal. But he's a bit lightweight sometimes..<ok>

    Sky commentary team thought that was bad too.

    Good news Bielsa confirmed Pablo is fine, subbed him as precaution, I’d imagine he was scheduled to get 20 minutes but Bielsa recognised the threat

    Have to be honest. Didn’t expect him to start and just relieved he was fit enough for the bench. I think Bielsa May use him that way for remaining games and keep him fresh

    Fulham are nothing without Mitrovic and he’ll get a three game ban, they also have to play Cardiff and WBA so I think the threat from them has gone.

    A few weeks back, I posted let Leeds sign Mitrovic if Fulham don’t go up, after today NO way, his head drops too easy, if he loses the ball he just stands there, definitely not a team player. Steve McClaren said how hard he is to manage and how you’ll never get a full season out of him too hot headed.

    My Birthday tomorrow as well I’m going to start celebrating early
