Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Wonder if the club would be so accommodating if we were 17th at this point
Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Interesting. Roberts or Rodrigo in for Klich I assume.
Un Marcelo Bielsa, solo hay un Marcelo Bielsa. Gracias Marcello. Marsching on together.

Maybe, maybe not. Either way it's not an issue

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Not a problem with that, we are in a position to be able to so.
Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Two dead rubber games left so not an issue.
Those available can cope comfortably.
Shame for Klich though as he was getting back to his best.

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
I wonder if Phillips will get the same treatment? Although i have just remembered he's not selected yet.

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Glad to see Klich regaining his form lately, I think a rest at this point will be good for him and he can end his season on a high.
Barring injury I didn't see Koch playing anyway and now we have Cooper back we've got the luxury of letting him take a breather before these ill-advised internationals.
Let's pray none of the lads bring anything back with them...

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Pity, I was wanting to see where Koch fitted into the equation.
But it is a wise move.

So no more Special K on future breakfast threads this season.

I think Koch will slip in effortlessly....
I promise that's my last Koch gag.

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Not sure they should be classed as dead rubbers given the difference between 8th & 10th with regards to prize money is around £4mill. Would go a long way to getting a few key players on longer contracts.
The midfield 3 of Phillips, Dallas & Klich I wanted to see again. In fact the line up at Burnley was our strongest IMHO. I know it doesn't contain a real creative No10 but they worked Burnley to a stand still allowing us to profit more as the game evolved.
Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Neither are "essential" at the minute and so don't see a problem with it at all - v nice gesture from bielsa.
Klich has been great the last few games though

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Given the rumours about Klich maybe feeling that his body has had enough of Bielsa ball and getting a bit worn down by MB's demanding ways perhaps this is MB showing his human side and gratitude to one of his old warhorses?

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
He's looked much improved the last two games. Over his hip injury and Covid.
But a break now should serve him well and it's about him coming back from the Euros in the best possible shape.

Re: Koch and Klich won't play again this season
Rodders will come in for Klich probably.
He looked sharp against Burnley, a couple of starts would help him as well.
I'd like to see Shackleton get some game time as well.

Bielsa has looked at Shack a few times but never seems keen
