Good shout, I don’t blame Ali as many do, accept he’s not a great defender, going forward he’s a threat and he genuinely does appear to care unlike some but yea Dallas to LB

No you didn't imagine it Cjay

Roberts took a knock within ten minutes of coming on, was hobbling around for the rest of the game.

Back in the treatment room for the next few weeks I suspect.

Image well he has been back for quite some time since he was last in the treatment room ! At least a couple of sub appearances Image Seriously if he's injured again he needs chucking end of season, same with Douglas and Forshaw and Shackleton is taking the piss as well. Get some in who are capable of hacking it in this league , and I mean THIS LEAGUE.

The half time team talk must seem like University Challenge to all of them ! I'm losing my belief in the guy and he quickly needs to pull something out of the bag before the crowds turn on him...we all know it will happen eventually.

Several fans believe Bielsa will walk if the results don't pick-up in the next few games

He should have been off first had the ref brandished reds
TBH when he got his yellow, I thought he had already been booked as he was just hacking at our guys, no intent on getting the ball

Before xmas that would have worried me, now I'm not so sure it bothers me that much, he needs to pull his head out of his ass, and see his system isn't working AGAIN !

Losing Bielsa before the end of the season would be a disaster...and wrong. What is needed is Marcelo to have a small rethink

Embarrassing if he does. He's the one refusing to change anything. :roll:

Heads the ball as if he has a head like a 50p piece

Awful game, the guy needs dropping. Not a leader, the Cooper of old has returned.

Won't happen of course because some players can play badly & are undroppable

I've been told Marcelo is a genius, so it should only be a very quick rethink.
How is it that a lot of us dummies see what looks like some major problems but he hasn't seen the same or maybe more accurately, hasn't changed anything to correct it?
Our form tells the truth.
BTW I know we are still 2nd but we were double digits ahead of 3rd place a short while ago. We should be concerned.

Leon I feel for you, like so many others wearing your heart on your sleeve week in week out. Cheering on the team. Working hard to keep this forum alive.

If you had two things to change now, what would you do?
As you travelled back tonight, what were they saying?

Kalvin Philipps is a player of immense talent and whenever you haven't as such in a team you are both weakened & at a loss .
A team needs their top players to lead by example and also too show others that are lesser to the makeover of a aspiring squad what decisions are and are not critical .
Action speaks louder than mere words.. ..
Phillip's not only deserves his place back but as or more importantly has to drag others with him into believing in this team whether its square pegs or rounded bendy bits.

We lost two on the bounce with Kalvin playing and Klich has been outstanding in CMF/DMF...There's one reason and one reason only we're in this mess
