Marcelo Bielsa

[d34noj]

It’s pronounced Gassardo (Argentina-Spanish)

Well i'm English, therefore it's 'Gallardo' only louder.

Surprise surprise, it's just been brought to the attention of our owners that the team lacks pace!

 

[Toffeelover]

Have to say he would be my choice.

I don't remember his Leeds team being chock full of speedster like. Didn't he have alioski and Ayling as full backs

Someone recreate the simpsons He called you slow scene with bielsa and mcneil

 

[nick_waters]

Do Argentinians then pronounce Messi as 'Melly'?

The players he used werent as good as what we have IMO.

Every player used by Marcelo Bielsa in three and a half years at Leeds United

Marcelo Bielsa left Leeds United on Sunday by mutual consent

It's not about the players being "as good". I agree that they are not "as good" in a general footballing sense....that is partly why Jesse March ahs also struggled. Bielsa's style is all about constant pressing. If you look at the physique of the team he had at Leeds, most were very lanky and lean - common body type of endurance runners.

I don't think that we have many in our team who could cope with that style. If I were to guess, perhaps the following players could - Iwobi, Dacoure, perhaps Onana (but have no idea really), pre-COVID Godfrey could have, not sure if he's fully back up to prior standards, DCL? Maybe Patterson.

For one we'd have to sell Gordon as soon as possible....he's huffing and puffing after 80 minutes now. Coady and Tarks are both too old to play in a Bielsa set up. Imagine Coleman! McNeil is WAY too slow, even if he has the stamina. Gueye is too old.

For me it would be the worst possible choice. If you simply want a manager that would get the players to work, give Ferguson a chance. Maybe he's learned a thing or two from Ancellotti.

He did - that's why he left.

We should do the exact opposite of what you say.

no that’s you

 

[matty1878]

I think we all will be when we run out of options and end up with someone like Dyche or Wazza.

lol

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Frankly why would he come here?

We have no money to spend on players, we have a desperately poor squad of players that do seem to be trying but who are utterly bereft of talent and we have a fanbase that has become toxic and has taken to physically attacking young players like Gordon.

It’s a poisoned chalice if ever there was one.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Tell us something we don't know Marcelo lol

 

[kenada_blue]

Get him just for this.

I think he probably means Tarks and Coady
