    If Bielsa did have the final say on players he sure can pick a donkey. How can he improve our championship players so much yet pick the likes of Rodrigo, James and Firpo. James works his nads off but wasn't worth anywhere near 25 million. I'm not sure what Rodrigo does for the team and Firpo! Well he's been crap since day 1.

    We need a miracle

    Think pep would struggle with this squad, we just haven't got the quality or depth whether we survive or not a clear out is warranted player wise and management also

    That's why Coutinio gets £480 k per week.
    Its not Marsch's fault .
    Blame Radz, Orta and yes Bielsa.
    Too loyal to below average players, no strategy to improve, limited funds and badly spent.
    At least Radz will have his parachute payment.
    Meanwhile we again are laughing stock for the rest.

    Well it looks like us or Burnley now, and i know where my money would be, as Burnley also have a far superior goal difference.
    Jesus i am just shell shocked by this season, exact opposite to what i was expecting.

    Well obviously it can't be now that Bielsa has gone.

    Right lads. Watching my good old boys moonshiners and I'm getting pissed. Have to get offline and get back with a clear head. I'm as crushed as anyone on here, but I'm not getting into a row. Talk tomorrow.<cheers>

    When we didn't really strengthen in summer, I thought 12th-14th place finish tbh, didn't expect this at all. Very poor pre season and recruitment set the standard.

    I never bet against Leeds but if I did I’d bet my house on Leeds going down.

    Sorry, our only chance of survival went along with Bielsa.

    I've said it all season....the players have massively underperformed this season.

    Managers can't convert chances in to goals. It's not a managers fault that the ball runs under someone's foot, is miscontrolled or a pass mishit.

    This ****ing lot putting a shirt on need a visit from Vinnie or something. Yes most of them work hard but I will name names from now. Raphinha, Rodrigo, Firpo, Llorente, Roberts do not work as hard as the others. Unforgivable.

    They played scared tonight.

    To be fair to the manager the players did not carry out his instructions tonight. I only recall us pressing as a team on two occasions. The rest was just one or two doing it. That is purely players not following instructions.

    We are the worst team in the league and Norwich WILL beat us at Elland Road at the weekend. The players have given up.

    After defeat at home to villa our only saving grace is that there might be 3 teams that are worse than us if not fingers crossed that everton get points deducted for debt
