Un Marcelo Bielsa, solo hay un Marcelo Bielsa. Gracias Marcello. Marsching on together.
Re: Improved performances against the Top six (Top, not 'big')
Undoubted improvement massively helped by having four fit CB's to chose from.
With two or three quality signings it bodes well for next season.

We've been much better at the back.
Consistent partnerships one reason but Llorente a huge factor!

Re: Improved performances against the Top six (Top, not 'big')
I think another big factor is Bielsa learning how to upset the balance of these on-paper superior teams after seeing them in action and how they're set up to counter us.

Playing tall CB's has helped our cause, we are winning more headers with Llorente & Struijk, both are comfortable on the floor too!YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 9:36 am We've been much better at the back.

Having Llorente, Raphinha & Koch to step in when needed has made a massive difference.
Just need Rodrigo to recover & find his true form now
Also Dallas has grown in his midfield role, very influential.
