Nah, just being sarcastic. Everyone is going in for the kill on Bielsa, but when he leaves, he will still leave behind our incompetent playing staff.

Professional footballers who can't do the basics are not Bielsa's fault. They clearly do it in training ok, otherwise they wouldn't get selected. Then they cross that white line on match day & play like they're back at school again, only less skilful. That's not Bielsa's fault. The players should be ashamed of themselves.

Exactly this. The players have hung him out to dry this season. They've been pathetic pretty much to a man.

I don't want Bielsa to leave. I want these players to ****ing get a grip and repay the loyalty he has shown to them.

However, something has to change as these players are getting worse, not better, with every passing game. Unfortunately we can't **** them off just yet as there is no transfer window.

Unfortunately the only change we can make at this moment is managerial and hope there is a response on the pitch. I'm content if he stays but I fear he can't turn this lot around in 12 games. Some of them look like they've given up.

Is this Abramovich trying to get round the sanctions against Russian oligarchs?

They haven't given up Emu, we've just been playing better sides recently.

The exception being Newcastle who absolutely stole the win at ER.

Keep the faith and Marcelo will find a way.

I don't think they do, but when we played murderball we used to knock **** out of each other<yikes>

When we played it at school, it was called Stone Age Football. Played indoors. Only 1 rule - score more that the opposition. None of this fouls malarkey.

Not all of them.

Firpo doesn't give everything for a start. The bookings he has had the last two games have been ridiculous and doesn't help anyone.

Raphinha isn't the all action Raphinha we've come to love.

Rodrigo seems to worry less about defending with every game.

You can't carry these players.

Right now as much as I love El Loco, I'd swap him in a heart beat for a coach who will defend and not go man for man and will try and use our pace to counter.

Seriously **** wanting he gaffer out, hes Leeds and has done so much for us. If we were safe I couldn't care about the drilling and would give him another go next year with investment, but that's not the case.
We are beyond awful and he wont or maybe cant change it and I don't believe he will walk either. Such a tough decision but will define our future

Was Sam Allardyce your PE teacher?

LOL. No, I was actually reminded of my old PE teacher a good few years ago. At the turn of the century there was a tv comedy called 'The Grimleys', & Brian Conley played the PE teacher Doug 'Dynamo' Digby. An utter cnut, taken to extreme by Conley & getting it spot on. Squeezing nipples, murderous press-ups, boys strung up on the wall bars etc. Fantastic. Brought back painful memories too.

if you haven't ever watched this series, find it & watch. It was brilliant. The guy from Tomorrow's World was the Science teacher, Noddy Holder the music teacher, Amanda Holden as Miss Titley, the english teacher etc. Absolutely brilliant.

How about using a system they can't do?. We are not a team of world class players. We should use a system game by game and not tactics last used at the charge of the effing light brigade........ Mate.

Most of the lads excelled using the same system last season and before. The fact they can't trap a ball, pass a ball or shoot on target is the let down.

They are past it now can't play it anymore. We are too slow across the squad and too easy to go past. We have no quality and it shows. If we were a car we would be scrapped. The time to update was in the summer. Bielsa said we were fine well i disagree. Two fast quality mids were needed and a proper striker. Then we could have put bamford at ten. Rodrigo to start or come in when needed. Firpo is a fecking joke of a defender. Barcelona fans laughed at us signing him.
