    I’ve just had my eyes opened
    Bielsa has a small squad because that’s all he can handle to get into his squad you have to be a yes man 3 bags full man

    The last 3 and the next game were always going to be bad really. The games between boxing day and St Valentines day are the ones that really matter.

    Our young players did okay and if we did get relegated and had to rely on them I’d be confident they’d shine but… You compare them to the Arsenal youngsters and they’re a million miles behind them.

    Drameh was caught out numerous times, Summerville did nothing, Joffy is a long way behind Bamford but streets ahead of Roberts.

    On another note, Forshaw can’t fill the Phillips role

    Fair enough. But I dont think any other manager would get us out of this run. Keep the faith:emoticon-0148-yes:

    You say it as you think that is an excuse and keep on playing the same way. Wrong, a smart manager would look at what he got as his disposal and play to their strength. He would not be doing the same thing over and over again when he don`t have the personell for it.
    Albert Einstein once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

    We have no midfield. I thought Forshaw did Ok, but Klich was terrible. Did you see his reaction when he was subbed off?

    Perhaps they should have been booed off at half time, just to show the players their efforts were not acceptable - a bit like disciplining the kids

    I thought Forshaw was poor and Klich was awful. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place, Bielsa is the only one capable of turning this around but we need sweeping changes. Bielsa is far to loyal to certain players, I’m not on about today when we’re ravaged with injuries but in general. Bielsa will never sign off those new players.

    For me avoid relegation and don’t renew Bielsas contract unless we’re happy just being a number. Bielsa doesn’t do certain players and we need a few of them if we want to compete

    Smith-Rowe is a great player. I wonder whether Arsenal would sell him?

    We'd mould him in to a great left back.

    Jorge Sampaoli has moved to second in the betting, take it with a pinch of salt though as favourite is Frank Lampard

    We have been sussed out after last season's initial "we are back" euphoria and undoubtedly finished above expectations, money hasn't been well spent when you look at the impact of the signings, last season's love in by the pundits has turned into "Leeds are to wide open,and to easy to punish" the famed ultra fit Leeds are being bettered now by others and the possession percentage has turned........we didn't get the reaction after the citeh game we had hoped for and something must change very quickly by the management and players or we're gone
