It’s possible mate, I think he’s learnt quite a bit. There’s no doubt the English game is more demanding than on the continent so maybe he’s adapted a bit. Interesting with Pontus as we were all a bit shocked when we sold him, he’d been great for us for the majority of his time but he could go...

Yes some big injuries really didn’t help, we were without Roofe for a long period and he was our main source of goals that season. Bielsa historically doesn’t like to have a big squad, he likes a small group and to have them all involved. It’s risky if/when injuries hit but he seems to have...

I think with the way we play we’ll end taking a couple, we do leave ourselves open at the back but it’s definitely entertaining to watch.

That season really wasn’t a case of this so called burn out, again if you look at the running stats we were covering more distance at the end of the season than at the start. We made some huge individual errors that cost us, namely Kiko in goal. The Wigan game at home stands out as being the one...

Running out of steam!? We’d won 5 on the bounce without conceding and were playing the best football I’d witnessed before lockdown hit so that’s nonsense. The burnout thing is a total myth anyway, our running stats have actually increased for the latter part of both seasons while Bielsa has been...

We ain’t no Norwich or Huddersfield tho. The way we play will mean we’re in for our fair share of defeats as we leave ourselves open at the back but we’ll never not stop pressing forward. We haven’t really got going yet, we can play better than we have done so far and we’ll only get better as...

I know, I never said otherwise. The point I’m making is he will have learned a lot more from Bielsa than he would have done say under Scott Parker.

Thanks. I don’t think we made Ben White but I do know working under Bielsa improved him. He was class for us from game one and just got better as the season went on. He’s certain to get an England call up before long, I really do rate him that highly.

Funny how you all seem to know a Leeds who is stating we’re going to finish top 6 yet of the 100’s I know not one believes or says this. Fact is this season we’d all be happy with just staying up but do I think a mid table/top half finish is possible? Yes sure I do and my prediction is 10th-12th.

Defence was the worry in needing to replace White but I think we’ve added real quality in there now. Koch looks excellent and an absolute bargain considering the value talked about for White. A German international for a 3rd of the price. Llorente too, although we haven’t seen him in Leeds shirt...

I’m in my 40’s and from day one I’ve been aware that we were hated. I’m sure most people don’t even know why they hate us it’s just what everyone seems to do. I spoke to a few young lads in London when I was down there the other month and asked them why they hated us. They didn’t actually have a...

I’ve seen enough already to confidently think we ain’t going down.

Brilliant, thank you.

So you think we’ve got lucky too eh and we’re going down? that’s delusion right there. I’d say we’ve been unlucky not to get anything from the Liverpool game and arguably should have had all 3 points against Citeh. We’ve gone at both of them, dominating possession and more than holding our own...

What’s more to say? He clearly made his entire story up.

Bullshit.

It’s very possible but looking at the first four fixtures I’d have been happy with 4 points, we’re on 6. Free hit next weekend in my eyes. As long as we keep taking points off those expected to be bottom half with us I’ll be happy.

Still obsessing about Leeds eh.
