We didn’t really. Charlie Cresswell was on the bench, swap one central defender for another and if he’s not good enough for that to happen, he shouldn’t be one of the subs.
Exactly this, Bielsa created the problems today, players getting in the way of each other, too many offsides, it was a simple straight swap but no… Guarantee next game we’ll see Ayling at CB
We definitely deserved at least a point, other than that 10 minutes of mayhem and the odd attack from them reaching our box, we were in total control, the last third decision making is killing us. Just want Leicester to beat Villa by 4 goals now
Victor Orta going nuts at someone at full time. Can be dubious about his ability but certainly not his commitment to the club. Probably in for a FA charge though.
Did anyone else see Orta at the end trying to get at someone in the stands, thought he was going to have a fight.
Nowt wrong with what Orta did, just showing a bit of passion like any fan. Rather see that than a shrug of the shoulders and scuttle of inside to the warmth and a glass of something akin to what the jamster might drink.
The big problem here is that Leeds Live gave Firpo a 7, Bamford a 7, Roberts a 7 and everyone else 6 and down. So although loads of fans hate Firpo he was having a good game irrespective of what people think. My own personal view is that Bielsa got it big time wrong yet again. Not understanding no Rodrigo, taking Firpo off to add Bamford and leave Roberts on, Klich on then off, almost like we blagged it today because we didnt know whatbto do without Phillips
Just didn't understand the pack shuffle when he only needed to bring Cresswell on, his face looked like' wtf, I've not thought what to do about this pre game' Shows he has little confidence in Cresswell atm imo. Thought Firpo had his best game for us, how cool was that headed backpass to Meslier, I think he meant it anyway.
Firpo looked like a top Barcelona player for a change. Cooper going off was bad but hey ho we got shed loads of CBs this season, but Bielsa decides to move everyone to a different position and then when Phillips went off it was wtf do we do now?
Leeds Live is one persons opinion mate, just because the guy scores someone a 7 or 8 it doesn’t mean they’re right. BBC ask everyone to vote they close it at the end of a game, Firpo was 4th worse, Klich bottom. I don’t hate Firpo but he has been one up from useless so far, he was the cause of the second goal. I totally agree with you about Bielsa getting it wrong though. A few days back we were discussing Bielsa trying to accommodate certain “favourites” and today was one of those days. Dallas should have started LB, if Firpo is ahead of him then Dallas on the bench, not 10 and as more and more keep saying Harrison or James not both.
I thought Firpo was very good today. I remain hopeful that he is heading in the right direction. Him and Forshaw were at fault for the second goal and Firpo the main culprit. It's no good having an excellent 90 every week but having constant brain farts costing goals.
Rick you quoted a site that has an issue with Firpo, fact is that Firpo had a great game today right from the start (unlike the other night) but he was solid and deserves applause not nore stick. I cannot do with Tyler Roberts but held my hand up again today
All I can say is thank **** for Ayling and Bamford. Mixed emotions here as hugely disappointed we didn't win that game but at the same time mightily relieved we didn't lose. We really needed the 3 points (I know stating the bleedin' obvious) coz we ain't going to get a whole bunch out of the next fixtures up to Christmarse.
