Cooper gets the plaudits of an assist, but it was a basic backwards pass. There was no threading the ball. Raphinha was there in space, and was the easiest option.
Roberts may have looked lively but so did Aidy White ffs. Too many flicks and tricks instead of looking for a final ball. He had 2 good chances to slot a player in on goal and as usual missed it by a mile.so for me thats Bielsa’s worst call since he arrived. Shackelton and Roberts? Sorry just dont get it and in fact dont want to get it because it now seems like Bielsa being vindictive. Angry as fook after that. Cooper is deffo the 4th choice CB by the way and he has just drawn a blueprint for every No9 for the rest if the season. Playing two left side CBs dont work
All you who know better than Bielsa, where were you when we were stuck in the Championship? We could have saved millions if you'd jumped in and taken us to the promised land. I'm sure there are those on here who can get a message to Radz, "That Bielsa doesn't have clue Boss! He's still picking Cooper and Roberts who are ****. I know what you need." I'm sure he'll rip your hand off.
Tbf Struijk isn’t just left footed. And isn’t it a moot point anyway as our formation was 3-3-3-1 so it matters not.
I just want to say, before I fk off for the evening, that all I ask of a player who pulls on a Leeds shirt is that he does his best, no strolling about and no giving up. Cooper would run through a wall for Leeds so he's ok. He's also ok because, statistically, he's one of the best CB in the Prem but most important of all, above anything else, Bielsa picks him and I still believe that he knows best. Roberts gets a load of stick but when he comes on later in games you don't wonder if he's playing or not, as you do with many subs who can't get up to the speed of the game, he's at it straight away. He does a load of work off the ball, pulling defenders about and making himself available for passes. He causes problems. He's still learning but, again, Bielsa rates him so that's good enough for me. Have a good evening.
I like this post except for I’d rather have a very good and skilful player than one who can run through a brick wall

Yes as things stand today but a few weeks ago I was hoping we’d have strengthened more and I was hoping we’d see an on fire Rodrigo.
