Could be anyone of the Bielsa old guard who raved about how fit they had become (which was necessary for his system) Those who previously played under Marsch know his training methods so assume it’s perfectly normal to be just passably fit. But Marsch’s system requires Bielsa level fitness.
Aaronson, Adams, Sinisterra, Roca, Gnonto, Kristensen, Gyabi, Perkins admittedly some not ready but spending £99m on players I’d say Jesse was supported
Should have forced Bielsa to have more players. He liked his little squad and we did not add enough players and no quality. The owner needed to keep the progress but he failed.
One thing I don’t understand, if a player thinks he’s not training hard enough or he could be fitter, do an extra session or go for an extra run. Surely the players need to take a bit of responsibility themselves if they’re not as fit as they could be
True but that happens to every team, players get sold. Many clubs in the bottom half would have given the coach half the received funds, at least Jesse was given the entire amount received. Two players out, five first team players signed. I agree there is an argument could Radz have funded more, could Orta have done better, I just don't think there is an argument for Jesse being supported, he has been
Has to be Jack Harrison. He’s being interviewed on the Jim White show on talkSPORT later, I’ll try and listen in. Plenty of Leeds fans called into the breakfast show saying JM needs to go.
I’m genuinely perplexed by the fitness element. Obviously the direct comparison the players have is bielsa - whose regime was brutal. But historically marsch’s team have been fit… they have to be to play high press. Maybe all teams are incredibly fit in the Prem.. and marsch’ levels just don’t differentiate enough for his game plan. Whichever, first time I’ve heard a player complain about the training not being hard enough Can tell you for a fact that they appreciated everything that bielsa did for their careers and results, but they hated the boot camp training/nutrition regime.
Maybe it’s just because the team are not playing Marschball as they played for him before (Aaronson, Kristensen and Adams) and the rest were told last season how they were going to play this season. Everything looks alien simply because Marschball doesn’t work so Marsch has changed it. I cannot think of any other reason why everyone looks lost
