Bielsa annoys the shit out of me. Thinks he's a fucking guru.

 

The chinstrokers love him because he crouches on the touchline as if he was taking a dump in the forest, and can't be arsed learning any English despite living here for years. But he's stealing a living.

Ah well, was fun watching them sweat for a while, but sadly this will give them just the sort of boost they needed. As bad as they are, there are just too many really bad teams in the premier league for them to get relegated at the moment. Leeds have been atrocious this afternoon.

We need to fucking batter Leeds in a few weeks. They literally cannot string 2 passes together.

 

Agree about the posts about Bielsa. Four years in a country and you still need to have someone translate for you in every media event is ridiculous. If he was an English manager in Spain or Italy he'd get called a lazy ignorant Englishman. Pochettino got slated when he was Spurs manager for not speaking English but he wanted to be fully fluent and confident expressing himself before doing his interviews. 

 

But Bielsa goes shopping in Aldi in his Leeds tracky and once told some Newells Old Boys with a grenade to fuck off (allegedly) so hipsters love him.

Bielsa can be excellent, obviously, but his teams have a very short shelf-life. The wheels were always going to fall off at Leeds very quickly, such is the way they play and the energy they have expended in recent years, and the fundamentally poor quality of the players they have. There is nothing surprising about a Bielsa team collapsing after an initial surge - it happens everywhere he goes, his way of playing is unsustainable without a Guardiola-like squad. Guardiola would almost certainly be the same at a lesser team / squad.

Leeds are shite and can fuck off for another 15 years and not be misses. On the plus side Rafinha and Phillips would be easier and cheaper to get if we have legit interest. 

Wouldn't mind Raphinha. Didn't do much today but he's wasting his time there. Might be able to send Minamino the other way.

They did. You wonder where all that effort has been this season though. Weird the way footballers are arsed when it suits them.

Perhaps the prospect of relegation focused a few minds . The pace and tempo they played with today would have caused better teams than Leeds problems. They wont keep it going of course but they wont go down

Don't think they will drop this year....too much garbage around them.

 

But make no mistake they could well go in next couple or so.
