Marsch changed tack last season when after the Villa game it clearly wasn't working. Now he's brought in his own players and is giving it another try but it's destined to failure as PL teams and coaches will tear us to shreds on the counter attack or by using the vast swathes of space his system leaves exposed.
Marsch says hes happy with how things are going? Nobody asked himhow we kept getting torn to shreds by a poor Palace. We had a high line at best and a way too high line at worst and Palace should have scored another 2 in the last ten minutes. Hes been training them in three groupsand will do it again next week. So we may see his chosen team for Caliagri, but not confident so far
Just to throw this into the pot... Is anyone else surprised that after the near miss last season the 49ers haven't executed their right for full control or was that a myth and they haven't actually got the option to do so? I was convinced the departure of Bielsa and the lining up of Jesse was down to the 49ers
There’s a lot of stuff some were expecting that never materialised. 49 ers takeover and how about the stadium development. A few nice banners, a lick of paint and new grass and floodlights that were forced on us by the pl is all we got. I hope we don’t become another Burnley, bottom six for several seasons before dropping back to the Championship. Many predicted the path would be survive a couple of years then mid table followed by European qualification. Certainly that was touted as the radz plan. We’ll need to be dramatically better by the time the wolves game comes around than the rubbish I watched today
I try my best… Just frustrated Transfer activity was great to start with, then lose your best two players and reality kicks in we’ve no genuine replacement or marquee signings lined up as they’re not interested. The entire selling process of them both was also screwed. Now we’re wasting time on a striker who’s basically said from day one **** off I don’t want to play for you
The selling process was annoying, it’s player power as the balance shifts at the 2 year mark in terms of remaining contract. Look at city chasing cucurella. Brighton can tell them to ‘pay what we want or fck off’ with 4 years left. To me though it’s just a case of we’ll have to sell our best players to fund more of the next set of best players. It hinges on how many of those buys come up trumps. And it’s way too early to know. I’m going to stick with the ‘10 games in’ philosophy to take a view, on both the players and marsch
Way too early to write the team off yet. I admit we dont look organised at times and we still havent seen the team he wants to put out yet. But there has been signs and we still have a couple of weeks. Lets be honest we all hated Bielsa pre season as we get humped by everyone and then all change game 1 (except last summer) yes 2 best players gone but they wanted out so good, and we never had Phillips last season anyway. we've been screaming for some midfielders and guess what we have 3 new ones and Aaronson looks to be handful and a duracel bunny. Its goals we need and that still worries me, but if Kalimuendo or as good comes in?
Jesse "Adam had Mateta lean on him and tweaked his knee," added the United boss. "Hopefully it is not so bad. We will get more information in the next days." Forshaw really is made of glass, lean on him? Asked about reports of Rene Maric becoming his assistant at Leeds, Marsch added: "More later this week, but I know who he is." I know who he is, that doesn’t sound like something you’d say if he was a coach you’d asked for? Obviously the Salzburg link but a strange choice of words
Ok so the 49ers have time on their side. Who really knows what the buy out offer really is and how long they have to execute it. As for 49ers getting rid of bielsa it was orta who was lining him up to take over end of season. Rads pulled the plug on Bielsa and his container load of paperwork. Rads is still the majority owner and string puller. If the 49ers were in any rush surely it would be done by now.
I see Liverpools ground expansion is still ongoing. They have lifted a 300 ton roof structure on to the Anfield road end using two 600 ton cranes. This will increase capacity by 7000 to 61000.Majority of the seats will be for general admission. So why could Leeds not do the same to the North stand. There would be no loss of capacity on matchdays. West stand is feasible too using that method. Would have been easier to build another where the away fans enter where the old training pitch was. I just don't buy it it's a big con selling people a place on the waiting list.
That's the plan Wakey. They want to do one stand at a time and build it out of place then just push it into position. The big problem is the South Stand as it backs on to Elland Road. The North and west stands will be done similar to what Liverpool have done. They said that the trigger point was staying up last season. Plans should be submitted to the council and they'll probably sit on it for a couple of years whilst they shuffle the paperwork around themselves.
I have heard the artists impression was rejected because the crowd did not include enough ethnic diversity and lgbt peoples. Though the burger man was dressed as dolly parton.
