    Nuno is one of the coaches who are unique like Pep, Pochetino, Tommy 2 coats and Bielsa
    On Leeds’ unique style

    “Special and unique the way they approach the game. We’ve been able to see they have a fantastic squad and a special manager, Marcelo Bielsa is undoubtedly one of the greatest managers, and what we realise is they are very competitive – it will require the best of us.

    “The tactical approach they have, man to man all over the pitch, it’s unique in the Premier League. It’s very difficult for all the opponents because, apart from what they do that is unique, they have talent and fitness. Besides that, a very talented squad.”

    On Bielsa’s philosophy

    “All the managers have their own unique philosophies. Since the Championship, me personally, I try to look at all the competitions I can, and I look a lot at the Championship because I know how hard it is.

    “Getting promoted and maintaining the same philosophy is very good and I think he’s brought a new element to the Premier League that challenges all the opponents that Leeds face to try and find the best way to compete.”

    Given Kalvin lost his Gran today it's probably no bad thing he's going to miss the Wolves match. I'm sure we all wish him well during this difficult time for him and his family.

    However life and football goes on so we'll need to be better than was the case against Arsenal. Llorente might return which would be a massive boost, Ayling could revert to his natural right back role with Struijk filling the Phillips void to the best of his ability.

    Let's be honest though, we all know that's not the Bielsa way...it's far more likely he'll send out the same starting 11 and tell them to do it better.

    Stubborn barsteward that Bielsa...let's hope he somehow works his magic <ok>

    I’d be amazed if Bielsa risks Llorente for anything more than 15 minutes towards the end of the game. Good his back though, let’s hope he can remain injury free

    Team news shortly...

    I'm guessing Shackleton keeps his place but secretly hoping Llorente starts <ok>

    Do we assume from that lineup that Dallas is back in at LB and Shackleton has the DM role?

    Either way I wanted changes after the system failure against Arsenal, I’ve got them, fingers crossed those being given a chance make it hard for Bielsa to drop them

    Roberts will either have a stormer, full of goals and assists or get hooked at HT.

    Either way, it's time we found it if he's going to be a PL player for us <ok>

    Bet that’s correct, Roberts taking Dallas position in midfield

    I just hope Bielsa hasn’t fkd up again with Shackleton at RB, seems he has got the message with Alioski finally, but if Traore is on form Dallas will have another arse hole ripped into him.
    Never a dull moment supporting Leeds!!!!!
