I don’t agree Forza. We repeatedly used the same two approaches.

Right side - work the ball to Costa, let him get to the bye-line and try to force a cross through Naismith. He never cut the ball back as far as I can remember.

Left side - give the ball to Alioski/Roberts, wait for Harrison to overlap and cross.

Don’t cross early. Don’t shoot from 20 yards from right in front of goal. Don’t deviate.

Very predictable today.
We're always predictable :)
We all know how to beat Leeds, sit back, keep your discipline, defend with your life then either score with a breakaway or from a set piece.

They all know how to do it but since we're 2nd and only one point behind they all aren't able to do it.

I'm still depressed as fk tonight. Why can't we just make it easy ffs?
 
For the record, I don’t blame Bielsa in the slightest, I think we’re extremely lucky to have him.

The same team that showed their quality on Tuesday second half let themselves and the fans down today, they should have enough about them to beat that Wigan team all day every day but didn’t.
 
Do we not watch where we go wrong, they scored exactly the same goal as millwall, kick it to the back post on corners, Kico will be flapping in no man's land, no one on the back post, and anyone just walk up and you can't miss, fooking so simple, why can't Leeds see it <doh>

We had 76% possession, we had 18 shots, 5 on target they had 2 on target 1 Goal so...

Wigan 2 on target 1 Goal
Millwall had 5 on target 2 Goals
QPR had 2 on target 1 Goal
Sheffield W 2 on target 2 Goals

Last 4 Games Kiko has only made 6 saves, he has conceded 6 that percentage has to be one of the worst in the division

It only tells that Bielsa dose not know how to sett up a team :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
Not the time to panic.

Suggesting wholesale changes is not taking into account how we are still mullering teams everywhere but the score line.

A point of the top and still 2nd. Yes it’s hugely disappointing but we have to keep going and pray we have a bit more luck at both ends.

Hopefully by next weekend everyone will be fully integrated and we go again.
The scoreline is kind of importen don`t you think?

Scary stats. :(
 
Just got in & been reading the posts,find it incredible how we struggle against weaker opposition,Wigan ffs,they were third bottom.
We now need to ask ourselves is this Leeds side consistent enough to win promotion i let you guys decide that.
We all know where the problems lie,first we have a keeper who can't save,but we have one that can,so change him,secondly we have a striker who can't score,but we have brought someone in who supposedly can, so once again make the change. To me Messlier in goal, Augustin up front & we now look a lot stronger.
We should be miles clear by now but the problems i mentioned above will ultimately cost us if not fixed.
 
****ing hell expose him to the crowd how much do these clowns earn. To be fair Jka is probably thinking the same as us
All this Bielsaball bollocks does make you laugh you'd think he was the inventor of total football,not Rinus Michels's.
 
Did yours bring his snorkelling gear with him? <whistle>

Cardiff City have been billed the entire £15 million transfer fee for Emiliano Sala after Fifa threw out an initial bid to avoid paying a first instalment after his plane crash

Cardiff City have just filed a lawsuit in France against FC Nantes over the death of Emiliano Sala, according to L'Équipe.

The suit attempts to insinuate that Nantes may be guilty of manslaughter & the hiding of agent commissions
 
I'm gonna second guess what Bielsa tells the team like a few on here do
Bielsa...
"don't shoot till you get in the 6 yard box, if you do you will be given extra training"
" pass it about for 10/15 minutes in the 18 yard box, make yourselves look great, then have a shot, but only in the ****ing six yard box" and by the way, its the ****ing Malvinas <grr>
