Phillips is the key. He is a perfect fit in the quarter back role that Bielsa's system needs. Without him, as we found out whilst doing the double over them last season, the system does not work. They have nobody else in the squad who can do it. When they were in the Championship they had that Ben White kid who could sub for Phillips in defensive midfield. It was a huge mistake to sell him when they got promoted.... They just allowed Brighton to make a quick £50 million profit for a player who was nothing before Bielsa made him.
On a more serious note, Ollie Norwood was the obvious buy last summer. He would have been a perfect fit as back up for Phillips. He played the role for both Reading and particularly Sheffield United, playing some of the best football of his career.

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
He was slated last year, by Leeds fans for calling Bielsa and Leeds’ success a myth. Looks like he was right.

Fair play to their official site, offering both the full Liverpool match to rewatch or extended highlights for the less masochistic

Why on earth would Leeds fans want Potter? They made it clear last season that Potter is a fraud and not fit to sub in for Bielsa's weird bucket seat, let alone sit on it. I suppose that on the plus side, they're may be right about not being our rivals for long so a stopped clock will be right eventually.

I wouldn’t go that far. They definitely exist.

Not to mention why would Potter want Leeds? Their fans keep going on about their recent achievements being special because of their playing budget being small. Their training set up their is no better than ours. He has no connection with their club and, other than historical success, which is, to state the obvious, history, they provide nothing that Brighton don't provide to an ambitious manager.
I've seen comments from some of their fans saying that they like Potter and would be happy for him to get the job when Bielsa eventually leaves. Its just further evidence of their delusion about where their club stands in the wider scheme of things. I know it must seem that you are special if you continuously say it to each other, (and if TV companies can't seem to make a reality TV show without putting the word 'Yorkshire' in front of it) but you really aren't. Those of us living in reality may be nervous if the likes of Leicester or Wolves lost their manager, but won't lose a moment's sleep about you losing yours.
Maybe he LOVES the city? He started his coaching career at the University there, and studied there, for his masters in emotional goobledegook.
It is vastly inferior.

I hope Mr Constipated stays at Leeds - he's doing a cracking job, or is trying to but just can't squeeze 1 more turd from his team!

What's Alec Mcleash going on about, these people should by asked why would Potter go to Leeds.
I get pissed off with all these so called pundits touting GP to other clubs as if he has done as much as he can at Brighton and has hit the ceiling here.

Annoying but inevitable.
He’s got a steadily improving cv - sadly it’s just when he picks his time when a bigger job comes up.
Won’t be Leeds.

Indeed wont be Leeds.
Unless he gets sacked, he is only leaving for one of the Big Five.

Well, given that they only need to concede one more in this game to average 4 goals conceded per game in the five games they have played in February, I'd say quite bad.

Leeds are only the second side in Premier League history to concede 3+ goals in five consecutive matches in the competition, after Sunderland in November 2005.

Leeds are going down. Burnley, Newcastle and Everton are all much better and will stay up and leave Leeds behind in 18th I think.
Am I right in thinking there's only one top-knot playing for The Leeds United?

I really don't understand it, I thought Bielsa was supposed to be able to take average players and turn them into £50m internationals.
