    Yes but it is a worrying admission. The squad is too small both in numbers and stature.

    Think we will only buy if we have long term injuries to important players,and not many,1 or 2.

    image.jpeg Don't know why this guy thinks it's so funny. Or is he just laughing all the way to the bank. I don't blame Bielsa I blame this tight g-t. Thinks if he spends a bit on a decent manager that's the end of it.

    Roofe was out of position as was Berardi, Pablo came on too late to make a difference. Now Pablo has returned I’d expect him to start on the right, that will mean Roofe back up front and Roberts on the bench.

    Berardi will be back central or possibly at LB assuming Douglas is still out. This team is finely balanced, one or two missing and a couple off form and we’re awful, we’ve seen each player has a job to do, one fail and it screws us up.

    I kept reading Saiz lost the ball again and again, you can’t predict that if you’re Bielsa. Someone else said square pegs and round holes and suggested Forshaw should have been playing, the thing is Forshaw is a replacement for Klich, possibly Phillips and those two have been immense so Forshaw would have been another square peg round hole.

    No idea what Bielsa has against Pearce playing LB but he does see him week in and week out.

    He didn’t admit to anything though, he said that during the two week break, players who haven’t featured will work on getting fitter so they can play including those coming back from injury and those who have been playing will be rested. It’s a completely made up headline by the newspaper.... After the break, he backed this up with the following;

    Marcelo and Salim, let’s start international break. How much of your plans were you able to implement in the international break? What have you done? What have you achieved?

    We had a group of players who needed to get some rest. Another group needed the opposite thing, which is pace and tempo. The third group were the international players and now we need them back with us.

    So you are not worried that the players in our small squad can not stand the pace. In the terms of the comments made it was a admission that the players can not stand the pace I do find that worrying.

    You read it that way, I didn’t so no I’m not worried, you’re sounding as bad as the newspaper, you’ve now added that the players can not stand the pace, is that your opinion or was that also misquoted somewhere? A coach saying he’ll use the International break to rest a few players for a long season Is normal, we didn’t lose today because of tired players.

    We will agree to disagree then, but for sure if we don't absolutely hammer Ipswich on Wednesday then this team is going nowhere tired or not.
