Marcelo Bielsa

[Ruairi77]

It really wasn't. Earlier in the season we were getting away with being a bit dodgy at the back, then we stopped getting away with it. There has literally been no change in the overall performances, teams just stopped hitting the woodwork and started scoring.

I disagree.
Sure they got lucky from time to time with shots off the woodwork but a lot of times you make that luck.
Tarkowsky and Coady did well together in a back four.
The first signs of it crumbling were the full backs. Then Gana went to crap, then coady.
Gana is one of those players Bielsa might be able to knock a tune out of. He was immense against city but terrible the surrounding games.

But is he Thelwell's choice

 

[T LEAFE]

Just a forward thinking question..
Is Bielsa the right man to..
A Save us from relegation?
B Get us promoted from the Championship?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Would not be mad at this in the slightest

 

[Zeitgeist]

I can't see him flying in from wherever he came from to not be appointed? Seems itll be him

 

[coollino]

i'm worried @TheBigIguana is next on the list

Just get the impression with Biesla that he's been up front and told our board that he can't work with our players but as per usual Moshiri & Co ignore that and want him anyway, as they don't really get it. A bit like when they didn't get hiring Benitez was a bad idea. Or hiring loads of no.10s. was going to inbalance the team. Or not having a striker for 5 games. Or failing to add pace...

So Biesla flies in anyway to take a big payday...while thinking what complete muppets! Don't think this bodes well.

Looks well

Looks like he's here for more than a weekend sightseeing with that amount of luggage.

Biesla can't even speak enough English to say how bobbins you are??

Neither can most Mancunians… but you just about seem to manage.

Not sure. I think if he's willing to fly in then there's genuine interest. If he wasn't interested he would have flat out rejected, which he hasn't done yet

 

[blulouie]

Am I gonna have to watch the Leeds Prime doc if he gets the job

Either that or get smashed in disgust.

 

[The Binman]

There’s 5 days of the window left mate.

Takes Everton about 2 months to sign anyone

If yer man behind him is with him then that's a lot of baggage for "talks". Also does he not live in Argentina? Surely he'd just do a Zoom/ Skype meeting if its just at the talks stage.

I loved his set pieces so much I'd almost like to see this lol
