    Only thing we will see of forshaw is his arse as he exits the treatment room. Do i feel sorry for him?. No not one bit as he is extremely well paid for doing nothing. What other job would pay you for that.

    I know and this is why i have always said he is not the messiah. Fitness freak and man management are his strong points. But blind allegiance to his squad and some really strange tactics and subs have baffled me. Puts roberts on the wing instead of rodrigo to 10 and bring on gelherdt to try and get 3 points. Been crying out for a goal scorer for at least 3 seasons now.

    Struijk looks the better player than Koch on his leeds form so far.

    1. Llorente.
    2. Struijk.
    3. Koch.
    4. Cooper.

    ...in that order.

    Also I think that Llorente or Koch will always play right and either Cooper or Struijk will play left. Seems to be the thinking.

    Cant disagree with that on present form, but next season you have to add Cresswell into the mix too. Koch and Llorente for me are one and two with Koch on the left.

    They’ll be the next Man City, they’ll probably overtake them in spending power

    Im not sure it will be the big success all the Geordies are expecting.
    Being a rich club isn't the unique thing it used to be. There are plenty of clubs who can match Newcastle for wages and transfers. The difference is the other clubs will be more attractive as they already have European football.
    Newcastle need to catch up and I'm not sure how they will

    I heard an interview with Amanda whatsherface before the deal was thriwn out a year ago. She said there would be a similar budget as today, but maybe slightly more initially. Her job was to make money just like the present guy, but also make the team better. It will be a long term growth plan, nothing like Man City. Yes there will be financial stability but no crazy money spent on players. So will that plan have been tirn up, I dont think so. A new player or two in January maybe but Bruce will be lucky to survive

    Not the Messiah after what he did to get us out of Hell on a shoestring? FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bielsa Ball is a simple philosophy .. your position is not important as long as you understand the plan .. all players except GK, CBs, DM have inter-changeable positions, the system relies on fluidity which is why it's so effective and exciting .. Bielsa doesn't care a jot if you're a winger or an attacking mid by trade, you need to be able to play anywhere on the pitch at any given moment depending on where the attack is .. the only fixed requirement regarding positions is that you work exceptionally hard to get back into shape quickly to counter press when the ball is lost

    When are people going to understand this and stop banging on about 10 this and 11 that and 9 who fkn knows! Fkn twitter is full of bulltwang every fkn day about positions, favourites and Radz needs to spend £250m in January .. it wasn't that long ago that we had Hockafknday and Junior Fkn Lewis as our coaching team .. sorry, Bielsa is an incredible coach, a superb human being and he has dragged Leeds United out of the mud and into the Prem .. I won't accept a bad word against him, not because of blind loyalty, but because I have seen the miracle he's worked and what he's continuing to do (look at our U23s for example, that's down to his philosophy)

    Enough already!! Get on the positive train and let's rather build our players up than knock them down just because we like a fkn moan
