Thing about our football now compared to earlier in the season is the commitment and self-belief seems to have ebbed away. Early season - 2 touches max, often 1, no problem finding someone open, triangles up both touchlines with runners going flat out meaning we went front to back swiftly, believing we could score with every move. Lose the ball, high energetic press and we'd won it back within a few passes, no one could live with us. How does that compare to what we watched last night? We're not playing Bielsa-ball anymore, we're too scared. Let's be honest, there are at least 2 teams better than we are at the moment, so a playoff position is about right - the worrying question is, if things don't improve will there be 6 teams better than us come May? This is where we find out if we are getting tired as a squad, and just how good a manager Bielsa is.
No. Clubs charged with failing to control their players, no individual charges other than Parkinson for misconduct. 25 grand fine tops as set for Old farm derby.
Double standards again though,when we played Norwich,Norwich manager was praising his players for attacking a Leeds player after the final whistle,said it showed team spirit.fook all done about that,but if it involves the Leeds cash cow ? They never miss a chance.
Question for us all, list each player who was in the squad for QPR and their strongest position. Accordingly, there could be multiple players with the same position. My attempt: Casilla GK Ayling RD Jannson CD Cooper CD Alioski LD Phillips HM Hernandez CM Roberts Striker Klich CM Harrison LM Bamford Striker BPF GK Douglas LD Dallas RD Berardi RD Brown CM Shackleton RM Gotts Striker I think we have to look to play each player in his best position and the best player for each position rather than expecting our best to perform best in another position. Prime examples are Roberts and Hernandez, who I believe have been played in positions other than their best and thus we are not seeing them at their best.
I agree on Roberts, he is a centre forward and nothing else. Pablo is a much better player and can play as a 10 or wide. At the moment imho, with Saiz gone, we need him as the 10. Speaking of which, has the dip in form coincided with Saiz leaving?
If it has, its purely coincidental. He was sulking and pouting long before, leading to him being dropped and then only appearing as a sub here and there.
This stat is exactly whats wrong with our team and our league position is false if we converted a few more
Ok, sorry for taking the piss out of your post, but it’s like you’ve been itching for a sh1t performance to try to prove your point. If you can’t see the irony in criticising a coach who has, in your words, a side limited in ability and quality, in the top 3 in the league, there’s not much to say Mr grumpy chumps. You’re happy with the fight shown by brown? He nearly got sent off for two bookings 5 minutes into his debut and gave them the chance to waste a few crucial minutes when we needed to get the ball back. Fcking great contribution, but hey he showed some fight, or clumsiness or stupidity, take your pick.
At least Brown showed some fight and wasn't scared to tackle,would prefer that to watching QPR pass around them.And they had the previous 40 minutes and didn't want the ball back
We could have done with Brown playing against Stoke when they bullied and beat us someone one to show the dirty ****s we're not to be messed with
Brown was desperate to make an impression on his debut, so I’m not that critical of him. But the impression he made was of a headless chicken . It would be great if we had a viera, a Keane, a souness, a bremner Or Giles or even a dacourt or a bowyer. We don’t. You don’t get too many ballers who are also physical in the championship. So you make a choice and bielsa picks mobile footballers over grunt and instructs then to play a certain way If you like watching grunt, go watch Millwall. What’s the point in complaining about something that is never going to change while he’s here. Do half of you lot want to watch a pulis team?
Who asked for Pulis we want the team that played the first 5 months of the season back,where they never stopped running,shot at every opportunity and never let the other teams play.
O oh dear now hes telling people who to support. The wall on a limited budget play how they neeed to.
