I'm furious at that performance and the club. There are no more excuses for Bamford he simply needs to get scoring. Terrible penalty and missed chances.

But there is no one else contributing to goals either. We have next to no options on the bench. Average age of 19 was that bench. Robert's and Foreshaw always injured. The squad has no depth at all and it will cost us yet again. 2 quality additions are now VITAL or we will stay in the championship

We have the added problem that everyone plays against us like its a cup final. Sheffield wednesday getting hammered at home to blackburn today. QPR were abysmal last week and you can bet will be back to being abysmal again next week.

We need to deal with that. Comes with the territory. Must must make 2 good signings now. The squad needs a lift

I never understand why we have so many fans at Leeds United, that are so taken in, they ignore this simple fact. Wherever he has been the same end result. He will not budge. No doubt a great developer of a players game, but managing a team over a long season, seems beyond him for the very reasons you state.

Agreed. He is a flawed genius. Love the football we play and imo that needs to be the Leeds way now who ever the manager is. But his stubbornness could be his undoing

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Jan 18, 2020 8:02 pm  

My feeling is split. I think bielsa is probably the best thing to happen to Leeds since the really O'Leary days. However, if we don't go up this season it will have been because of his approach.

The problem is that without him at the helm, this squad is nothing to shout about

Yeah good shout. Leeds need to keep his blue print for how they play when the day comes hes no longer manager as it's great stuff.

I do feel sorry Bamford, it’s not his fault he gets played so much. It’s not Bielsa’s fault he plays Bamford so much, he doesn’t have a viable back up and Ntekhia for whatever reason didn’t work out.

This is down to the board. You bring in a manager like Bielsa you need to back him. Without him this squad is 8th at best.
