Just a unimportant thing that annoyed me watching the match on sky yesterday. How pro spurs were the commentators?

When Leeds were on top they seemed desperate for spurs to get back in it and then could hardly hide their joy when spurs were winning.

I don't care if no one likes us but surely they are paid to be impartial?

Some guy on Facebook posted a picture of himself travelling back from Spurs first class on the train.

Raphinha and Shackleton are poorly they will be back next week. Rodrigo doesn’t know how long he’ll be out for or Bamford.

Bad news on the Bamford front is he gets pain in his ankle every time he starts to try light training, it sounds like he is a long way off a return. I guess the good news is Rodrigo was there, he was standing so surely nothing serious

Struijk has been immense, far better than Firpo, putting Firpo in the team yesterday had a negative effect, we were worse and at the moment I'd prefer to see Struijk start.

I’ve seen enough of Firpo to realise he’ll never fit into this system. The more he plays the more glaringly obvious it is how much we’ve missed Alioski this season.

That’s not to say he’s a bad player, but he just doesn’t suit our style of play at all.

I’m amazed Bielsa actually okayed his signing.

For the limited amount of time he has managed in club football he has succeeded in doing what you said he cant do with a small squad:
  • Newells OB Premier League Title
  • Newells OB Prem Lg title
  • Newells OB Copa De Liberdatores runner up ( South American Champions Lg)
  • Veles Sarsfield Prem Lg Title
  • Athletic Bilboa Copa Del Ray Runner up
  • Athletic Bilboa Europa League Runner up
So he can do it but I think the Premier League has the most quality teams in the world and too easy to be found out. I agree we need at least 20 first team players

I’m sure that they play / played a lot less league games, Newells OB.

Think you’ll find they play more as there are 26 teams in the Argentine Prem League and they also play a comp with the top 13 from the league, plus cup games and Copa America games

I stand corrected. I thought it was Tim Vickery the South American football expert on a documentary I watched said they played less matches when Bielsa won with them. That’s what started the “Bielsa burnout” myth.
