Have been in a relegation fight since xmas. Perhaps now posters will realise I'm not such a miserable bastard after all .
As Roy Keane says, the 3rd goal Leeds were all over the place. For a team that supposedly been coached by the best man in the business how can this be possible?
Well we got thrashed and many a dinner ruined. The blame lies at the feet of the 6 million dollar man. If bielsa stays we have no hope of building this club i said he was not the messiah right from the beginning. Newcastle have the best manager to steady the ship. Watford have not got woy and his experience. Rads needs to go and take orta with him. 49ers need to take over and start a new regime. Only way guys nothing will happen with the set up we have in place... Guys look we do not have even a decent reserve goalie. Cheapo utd we should be called. Fat kev may yet take us to the cleaners. If we have to pay for him then what if he claims prem wages?.
Meslier - 4. Distribution not great. One great save. No man's land for first. Should have done better with 2nd. Beaten near post for 3rd. Might be his worst performance of the season. Ayling - 4. Gave the ball away in dodgy positions far too often. Looked better at CB and had his moments bringing the ball out. Too many errors getting caught in possession though. Struijk - 5. Struggled in midfield. Looked better at CB but a miscontrol for the last goal finished the game off. Llorente - 4. Gone from our best centre back to a rabbit in the headlights. Couldn't block Maguire for opener and looked nervy until rightly subbed. Dallas - 7. Great running. Great defending. Couple of passes went astray in the conditions. Largely a decent game playing multiple positions. Koch - 7. Our best player until McTominay knocked him senseless. Tried to stay on but ultimately had to come off. Hopefully he is OK and getting proper care. Forshaw - 5. Outclassed by Pogba both in skill and physicality. Great effort levels but proved he isn't the 'new' midfielder that Radz thought he was giving us. Klich - 7. One of his better games but no end product. His lack of pace is worrying. James - 7. Grafted, battled, got an assist but also wasted some decent opportunities to cross or run at his man. Harrison - 5. Had an OK first 20 minutes but was starved of possession after that and subbed. Rodrigo - 5. Got some decent positions but ultimately made the wrong choices repeatedly. Subs. Firpo - 1. All I ask is for 100% effort...especially in this game. He failed to track his man and just wandered back like a first time park runner. Unforgivable. Get out of the club. Just stay at home for the rest of the season. Just **** off. Gelhardt - 6. Can't say he really made much of an impact but he certainly held his own. Much better with James out wide and him up top. Start him next game please.... at least he shoots. Raphinha - 6. Surprisingly dropped but he came on, scored and although not at his best he certainly had a bit more fire in his belly and his set pieces were improved.
After three years I’d forgot what it was like to have every weekend ruined by the football. ****ing sick of it now.
The fact all our midfield players had decent games yet we were totally overrun in there speaks volumes about the lack of quality.
I'm probably going to get ripped apart BUT... It's time for Bielsa to go not in the summer but now. The next 2 games we are not going to pick up points. If continues to be manager we will be dragged in to a very dangerous scrap for survival. If Newcastle carry on the way they are they'll be ahead of us. His tactics aren't working and it's showing. The squad is too small and it's showing, Blah Blah Blah injury crisis... I don't care about that excuse anymore we wouldn't be in this position if we had more players in the 1st team. This is meant to be the best coach in the world. please don't make me laugh, I don't care what Pep, Poch and Simeone has to say about him, he's clearly a fraud trading on past glories. If we do have Jesse Marsch waiting in the wings like the press seems to think then bring him in now.
Mass exodus this summer The experiment has failed It’s a management problem and in this order Skint Radz Orta Bielsa Don’t expect a miracle when Kalvin gets back Criminal not to strengthen in January
Exactly, all season we keep blaming the amount of injuries and as each player comes back we seem to be getting worse
