    I like Bielsa a lot, but his tactics wouldn't work at the biggest clubs.
    He largely needs players that will buy into his hardwork philosophy 100% and will run themselves into the ground constantly.
    It's similar to Sean Dyche in that respect and older, superstar players just won't do it, even if they could handle the workload.

    Burnley found out the limitations to having a small, tight, gritty squad when they qualified for Europe and had a game every few days. It's too much.
    It's also best suited to having a decent turnover in the transfer market, as players burn out.
    Pochettino had to switch away from that aspect of his coaching, which he learned from Bielsa, as our players couldn't deal with it.

    I see the Leeds scummers kicked off in Manchester before the game.

    United were very good today, Pogba was unplayable and Fernandez back at his best. Brushed Leeds aside like a placid arse fly.
