Gets an assist yesterday but thats more down to Alioski's good work then Pablo's class.

No goals since November.

Hasnt really featured in the top 3 of a MOTM polls since Brentford.

Is he not bothered anymore, is he just not very good, is it tactics.

Cant say its all down to average players because look at Pablo or Ali or Forshaw who have all featured prominently.
Not been great of late, thought he created more than your man Cjay

How his free-kick off the woodwork stayed out god only knows, also their keeper made a decent save from him, doesn't shoot enough for me. Also made a couple of sublime passes, wasted a few too

Saiz is still the only player that can get us from box to box in quick-time generally with three markers around him

Needs to improve all the same

Dont think he did thought Ali linked well with Pablo on a good few occasions and saved us with a block. But all have different opinions.

His free kick was very good, thought he should have done better with the shot though tbh, didnt strike it cleanly enough imo.

Agree on his pace, still to wasteful and greedy at times imo.

Hasnt lookes the same player since the ban.

Possibly, a bit like TC, he raised his own bar too high with the early performances and now if he doesn't score a worldie or beat 3 men and then slip an inch perfect throughball to someone he is seen to have a poor game.

I like Saiz, I did NOT like his spitting. I like Pablo. Both are gifted, both create magic on the pitch. Saiz certainly has not been the same since the ban but more game time will change that i'm sure. I want to see more of their magic, don't leave them on the sideline, utilise them. :bear:
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.

Indeed young lady, we should always play our best players. Fans pay good gate money to see their silky skills

Saiz is a whinging little git, needs to sort out his attitude & get his act together if he is looking to stay at Leeds or in English football

Even our baby-faced keeper rapped him today & his departure off the pitch when subbed was nothing short of petulance & sheer disrespect for those around him. Kicked a bottle on the touchline like a little spoilt schoolboy

Saiz is one of the many reasons why we are so poor !

He has done nothing of note in our last three games

Saiz is no doubt a talent but he needs to sort out his attitude & also provide much more end product.

So we won't be adding Saiz's name to the list of players that have improved under PH? Can understand Saiz getting frustrated at the awful football we are producing. He was brought in to be part of a team playing a possession based football and looked brilliant. Now with our football being of such poor quality no wonder he is a frustrated player. I feel sorry for him and cannot see him wanting to stay if the manager does.

I've played football under an out of their depth knobhead, who doesn't know how to treat people, and it's hell.

If you keep your mouth shut and get on with it you get frustrated, if you try and engage with them they think you're trying to tell them what to do and they get arsey with you, you can't win.

I don't blame any of the players for how they have performed under this Barnsley creep.

Up to Christmas he was probably worth that but nowhere near after the spitting incident.
I'd take that sort of money for him but we need more numbers in first.

Could get 2 decent players in for £9mil.if you look around.

Unfortunately doesnt seem like that has occurred to our lot.

You're right of course but we seem to be struggling and apparently have £20M to spend.

Lot of criticism has come his way from some (me included)

And in fairness he has deserved it.

Yesterday was the sort of performance that we want, he was brilliant.

He ran with the ball, he worried defenders, he does that anyway.

But he didnt moan, he wasnt whinging and bitching and moaning.

He played the right passes most of the time.

Much more like it, hope he keeps it up.

Saiz was seriously in danger of losing his first team place I feel

Back to his old-self yesterday & also showed better behaviour, no card waving fingers to the ref
