Taking a bit of a hammering on Twitter...football fans eh...course it would never happen here
A bit different when you 'fall' once you've been placed on such a high pedestal by the likes of Pep and Poch.
Additionally the mystique surrounding his interpreter which gives him some space. TV pointed out tonight that his command of English is maybe better than believed due to the fervent instructions being administered to the replacement.

As messiahs go, being only four points ahead of Steve Bruce and some way behind David Moyes at this stage seems a little underwhelming.
I recall earlier in the season a commentator saying that Bielsa would be further up the Premier League.... if he had better players.

Decent manager for a club like Leeds. Not PL standard though

Tickles me that Bielsa- legendary Argentinian coach- was beaten by a goal set up by the Argentinian Mac Allister for the half-Argentinian Maupay.
Put that in his bin and sit on it. Never trust a man you can’t look in the eyes.

Football authorities are warning that goal celebrations may be a Covid risk. Leeds United are doing their bit to help by not scoring any.

Everton v Sunderland - 2015?
Not sure COVID was around the last time Everton played Sunderland

No whinging and making excuses after the match like most managers would (and the media did for them - no Phillips etc). He knew they’d been well beaten.
Bielsa is still a brilliant, innovative manager. Very few managers could have have done what he’s done over the last couple of years with a really average squad of players.

Emperor's new clothes and Leeds are this year's Norwich - just with better players.

There's no doubt he's doing well with a very average squad, but I get the feeling that he's now been found out. The next few games may tell
