Think now more then ever Radz needs to back Bielsa.

Looking beyond our great performance, that style, a 46 game season, you need depth, we have little of that.

3 players minimum imo, otherwise i think despite Bielsa and his brilliance we will struggle once injuries and suspensions arrive.

And they will, Phillips, Cooper, Berardi and Jansson, none are known for there discipline, can add Phillips to that who certainly walks a fine line at times.

I agree about needing more bodies but, regarding the bad behaviour, notice how Saiz and Alioski have stopped their annoying traits.
I'm sure Bielsa will have been instrumental in getting them to stop their crap - maybe that includes bad fouls as well, although it sounds like we were a bit lucky on a couple of challenges yesterday. The point I'm making though is that he's a disciplinarian, old school about everything, including manners and it is likely that either he or 1 of his assistants tackles the little things as they happen, rather than ignoring them or waiting for an accumulation. I admire that, deal with the small stuff to deter the big stuff down the line.

We definitely were lucky not to lose Phillips for a two footer. Ref didn't use a card the whole game I don't think. Nowt wrong with getting stuck in, but you need to be able to control it.

Berardi put in an absolutely huge tackle on McClean in the second half. Basically got the ball, man and advertising board, but it was completely by the book.

Hopefully the improved discipline from Saiz and Alioski continues (no time to roll around or shout at the ref when there's pressing to do!), because it will no doubt improve their game.

Back to what they did when they first impressed on the pitch last year Genghers but I reckon they've got a considerable increase in the amount of energy expended because of all the extras demanded by MB. They're more disciplined and I reckon they're happier because they'll know what they're doing more now.

Spot on, said the same on here on one of the other threads. The bench may have looked strong on Sunday and it was but this style of play will be very tough for the players to maintain.

Linked to Amiens attacker Moussa Konate today, seems unlikely given the price tag but we have had scouts at Amiens and FC Sion games in recent years.

Victor Orta was at the Hull and Villa game last night

Linked today to Albert Adomah.

Agreed.

Still in the position where just 2 or 3 injuries will really harm us.

@apopey

Interesting to hear from #lufc MD Angus Kinnear tonight that the club are more likely to strengthen via a loan or possibly before the end of the month rather than a permanent deal.



On the one hand I'm not surprised unfortunately.

On the other hand i see the club thinking this is "doing a Wolves".

But unless the loans are 1st class players like Wolves and Fulham with Mitrovic then its just being cheap.

Does appear that typically there is absolutely nothing going on for Leeds today.

Disappointing :(

Unambitious :(

As usual leaving ourselves realistically 2 or 3 players short :(

The Stoke game may have been a bad thing in terms of our transfer hopes.

Hoped that would convince Radz to put hishand in his pocket, unfortunately it seems to have convinced him to rest on his laurels and think "that'll do".

Very shallow squad already under pressure with Forshaw and now Dallas out.

Always insisted since we signed Bamford we required two more quality signings, loan deals apart !

I believe we have fallen short again which is a great pity as the championship is there for the taking this season

Agree think we have left Bielsa with a paper thin squad.

Can redeem it somewhat if the loans that the club seem to want are 3 top class 1st team level players.

Kalas, Besic and Diaz at City for example.

If not then again what the club have been saying since March will just look like spin.

"Exciting summer" :duno:

I always thought and still do that Radz is a few steps up the rung from our last few owners but I've honestly come to the the conclusion not to trust a word he says.

Maybe teams looked at us not playing any of our loans and having second thoughts. Even the keeper, who I'm sorry should be ready to start if he's going to. Loan with an option to by maybe the way to go, teams don't necessarily want those back
