Roberts has fans So I suspect the honeymoon period is over regarding Bielsa, what with all the negative comments after only seven games in.
Afternoon all. Rogers cussed us out last night. They didn't press us until we got close to their box. They just cut off the balls out wide and stuck two lines in front of us. I saw the biggest difference is their composure in the final third and Vardy was a nightmare for Koch to pick up. I don't think Poveda was the right substitution, he made some fancy turns but delivered nothing. It wasn't totally his fault, they were double teaming him and Harrison. They had the luxury of Vardy, he's quick minded as well as quick off the mark. What summed it up was when he dived in front of Koch to get his header in. Koch thought he had him covered. I don't understand why our set pieces are so poor. It's so frustrating. I thought Pablo gave the ball away in dangerous positions at least twice. Neither Roberts nor Alioski provided anything whereas the two Leicester subs created a goal. It was very difficult to watch although a mate of mine who watched it thought we played very well. Go figure.
Last night was the night to replace Harrison with Raphinha but he wast there. It was a lash up side who were found out because we had 3 new signings missing plus our QB Phillips. Explains the poor performance to a certain extent but the damage was obvious last night. Rodrigo would have started and hurt Leicester badly. Phillips would have controlled midfield along with Klich in his usual role. Raphinha would have replaced Harrison in the first half and you would have seen Llorente start due to Cooper coming back from injury. Roberts wouldnt have been anywhere near and Pablo would have been first sub on for either Rodrigo or Costa. Leeds 4-0 Leicester........ yeah I know
Injuries was the problem, Phillips should have been screening the defence and Rodrigo creating up front. Bamford struggled with the likes of Barnsley on his own last season, so hardly surprising Leicester caused him problems.
He has made a statement and he got it from a family member. So where when and why did he mix bloidy idiot.
Could've caught it from his missus after she's been out shopping. Can be as simple as that. I've just had to get a test as I have some of the rarer symptoms. Hope to find out in 48 hours whether it's positive or not. Nothing in my routine has changed, so if I've caught it, I have no idea how.
I've read Pablo getting a bit of a shirriking, but has anyone considered that he's simply not match fit?
For a young super fit athlete, anything could happen... but it would be unusual for it to be much more than a sniffle
Just been phoned by Kinnear asking if I want to be one of the first fans back and I refused unless all the players can show me their covid health passports. Not willing to have Rodrigo’s missus infect me ffs
Pablo did nothing in the first 45 minutes, he was actually like a 12th man for Leicester he gave the ball away with misplaced passes that many times. I thought he was lucky to come out for the second 45 and he disgraced himself when substituted, without Bielsa he’d still be a Championship player, he should have shown more respect. I don’t care if he never pulls on a Leeds shirt again.
The team we had our last night should have been good enough. It had nothing to do with their press, it was a phenomenon that happens to teams sometimes. Like England in the rugby World Cup final. Someone makes a stupid mistake and the whole side ****s themselves. We did the same against man city. Keeper rolls it out to the opposition, defenders run into each other no one can make a 10 yard pass to an unmarked guy. rabbits in the headlights when we don’t have the ball. Leicester’s third was a brilliant goal, the first two and the other chances in the first half were diabolical defending. I’m proud of this team and we play some great football but we’re leaky as hell and have a panic attack in us... lack leadership on the pitch? As an aside, Everyone is saying Koch is a bargain, and he’s certainly decent on the ball but the error count is adding up. He was dire yesterday.
I think we actually got out “mind gamed” by Rogers. Kept praising how we play but said he had the best counteracting forward in the league and our defence **** themselves every time Vardy went near the ball. Complete panic, but it is a season of strange results, villa spanked Liverpool, we spanked villa, they beat Leicester and so on. This is going to be a very unusual season
