In Bielsa we trust
together, is a bit incongruous
But I get what you saying

Re: Leeds Utd v Chelsea Match Thread. Cooper injury rumour!
It's probably Rodrigo isn't ready for 90 and MB prefers to finish strong. My guess is however Roberts s playing he comes off at 60 at the latest

Ffs Roberts, so bizarre. I guess the logic of repeating the same thing over and over again, will pay off at some point.

No mention of Cooper's injury on Thursday so it must of happened yesterday.

Re: Leeds Utd v Chelsea Match Thread. Cooper out, Struijk fit
Rod won't be up to 90 minutes why risk him when the bigger game is next week.
Cooper out is a worry.

Roberts by no means the worst player on the pitch for the games he's started, not even close. Should have had a goal last time out.

He played quite well last time out, just his finishing let him down but then again, Bamford missed better chances.
I’d give him 50-60 mins, if Dallas is behind him we should be more solid in midfield too so give him this last big chance.

Re: Leeds Utd v Chelsea Match Thread. Cooper out, Struijk fit
I recall the one clear cut chance which he punched home. Bamford, Raph, Rodders, a couple of others were way more profligate..
Once your a scapegoat on a forum you have no chance of changing that. Bielsa doesn't read the forum thank god

Never keen on Ali in defence.
Especially since he doesnt look bothered at the minute

I’m not a big fan tbh, but before a game I’m open to giving someone a chance.
There is a reasonable player there but not sure if it’s for Leeds long term.

Worried about that defence today without cooper, big game for an untested partnership.
Need to take our chances today can't afford to be wasteful, if roberts has his shooting boots on then I can see him getting a chance or 2 and getting a goal.
Pitch looks a disgrace again the new one has just gone the same way. should have just kept the old one and saved a few quid.

Playing out of position and maybe 3/4 years away from his prime

I have dug out my old Admiral shirt.
Last time I wore it Harrison put through that wonder ball for Roofe in the first playoff game
