Raphinha is still not fit Rodrigo has recovered but Bielsa said "that doesn't mean he is fit enough, we'll see how many minutes he gets" What stage of the season do we get to when Bielsa tries the likes of Summerville, Gelhardt and Greenwood? I don't want to see them all selected at the same time, just one a week getting 45 minutes would surely be good for Bielsa to witness too?
Got to Agree he just rotates the bench with the u23s. Pointless as they never getva look in. Yet roberts gets to start and poveda gets some minutes in. These guys could save the club more than 3 million that each place in the table brings in at finish of league. Sick of hearing how good they are yet forshaw the crock is bielsas boy.
I think most of us want Bielsa to gibe the youngsters a chance, but that's a flaw to his coaching...he likes what he knows.
There's no doubt bielsa puts great stock in everyone knowing their role and maybe values that team ethic over individual ability... however he watches these players day in day out - is it not just possible that he thinks poveda is ahead of summerville, roberts is better than greenwood at this time? I think some fans get carried away with 23s performances. It's nothing like the real thing, some players can handle the pace and physicality and others can't.. or take time to adjust. You think if these guys were consistently outshining the first teamers in murderball they wouldn't get a chance? I'd like to see gelhardt and summerville in particular given some minutes... because despite what i've said there is an argument that until you try you don't know. But there's also a £2m per place incentive, and we're currently in a battle for 'midtable supremacy'. I think a place on the bench and an outing when we're 3-0 up or down is the best chance these lads have unless the places are pretty much settled with a few games to go.
Not a fan of Brighton in general, perhaps because I've got a few mates that support Palace. But their stance on Ben White and not wanting to sell him to one of their "rivals" makes me hope they go down, silly boys.
What is all this xG bollocks anyway ? It's number of goals they should have scored but didn't, so they're **** and deserve to go down.
Can’t make my mind up about this game, in theory we should give them a good thumping but it could turn out to be a hard won game Just a long as we get the 3 points I don’t really care
Is it 2 teams that have done the double in us this season, one of which is WHU. I dont want lowly BHA being another, although thats a bit arrogant I know. Even in the Champs we all knew anyone could beat anyone and this is a much tougher league. However I really want to smash them..
It means their strikers are **** or out of form but they may very well outplay you... and sods law says you’re the team they hit the target against.
Actually now got a soft spot for BHA as they sent a tweet to Phil Hay hoping he gets well soon and sorry to miss him at the Amex tomoz and his great reporting on LUFC. radz replied and and said Brighton were a class act
That’s red wine playing with you Doc, you’ll be an emotional wreck by midnight at this rate and will be fawning over Gary Neville
Gary and his mate Ryan who has never abused a woman in his life are my new heros....... somebody has just made me feel suicidal as they said they could never drink red wine because its red....... put up with some shyt to do with Smithy etc but leave my wine alone you numpties
