Marcelo Bielsa

[Connor]

He's seen through them quicker than Thelwell anyway, the big Kopite waster

 

[hktoffee]

I think he will be interested to take the job if our owner gives the tools he wants.

The way they have been set up is too slow, but Patterson, coady, Godfrey, Iwobi, Gordon, gray all have pace. Onana puts a shift in (not sure what his top speed is mind). I’m assuming Danjuma is a quick forward. That’s most of the starting 11.

I might need some convincing , particularly on coady

The Mail is certainly running with this story.

Seen McNeil and gone "absolutely not".

Bielsa rejecting us could be the best thing that happens to us- it’s an opening for Thelwell to say “well, if you wanted Bielsa…” and really push for a younger, progressive coach like Corberan, rather than lurch in completely the opposite direction.

Who did you vote for in this poll? I actually liked Silva.

I dunno you tell me?? Can't remember that poll I have a busy life. If you asked me today who I would like at that time it would have been hard to pick between them, maybe I would have leaned toward silva as he was already a manager and Arteta was a coach. Not sure why your asking me that tho??

So we spend the last few days of the window, trying for players to suit a certain manager who hasn't even said yes. I mean what could go wrong.

Patterson is hurt granted, but right now our best full backs are Coleman and Mykolenko. Our three best center backs are all slow. Godfrey has pace but he’s not good on the ball and I don’t think Bielsa would trust him regularly.

Iwobi and Gana have average pace. Onana can certainly move but he’s not rapid. Gray, Gordon and Calvert Lewin have pace, but their backups in McNeil, Maupay and Townsend are diabolically slow. Danjuma seems to have at least average pace for a forward.

It depends on how you spin it, but I get his concerns. At the same time, his Leeds side only had pace in attack, so I’m not sure I buy that it’s his main concern. I’d be much more worried about how bad we are with the ball if I were him.

 

[hktoffee]

Guess who’re the slow players? Keepers are excluded.

Tarkowski, Keane, McNeil, Mina, Townsend, Doucouré, Iwobi, Mykolenko, Maupay, Coleman, Davies, Gana, Coady.

Too sh1t more like

 

[coollino]

Sounds like it's on to me

Yea it seems to be a bit of posturing from both sides

I was shocked i want for Arteta as I wanted Silva at the time.

Arteta or Silva?

Silva all day long. Arteta needs to get experience at another club that is not Everton to see if he has anything about him. Don't understand the hate for Silva either who has shown that sh1te teams can actually play footy with correct tactics but in time the shiteness eventually comes through...

thought he was happy to live above a chippy?

Aye, but he still needs chips

I hope we are ready for Bielsa gutting the entire squad and having a tiny squad size from now on.

If you remember last season, Leeds regularly had an entire bench of youngsters due to injuries and a tiny squad. He never allows for depth and instead plays U21s instead.
