Brighton 0-0 Leeds Utd Match Thread

Pity Raphinha is having a mare, we need a bit of magic

Very poor!

What do you expect exactly? We’re in our second PL season, but every point we drop it’s the end of the world.

When you choose the path we have.

Same players, same tactics, then you open up for criticism.

Most managers change things, Bielsa doesn't.

When it works thats great but when you don't actively change anything then criticism is totally warranted.

What do i expect? Better than this season that's for sure.

Are we just supposed to applaud and cheer no matter what?

To play well for 90mins?

[SG90]

Thought we were worse v Burnley and Southampton tbh. Brighton are a better side than them both.

[1964white]

Dog n duck scrape lucky draw,YP headline.

[Cjay]

The performances are what's worrying people not the results.

For anyone who is wondering why everyone isn't blindly applauding today

[BGwhite]

Unsurprisingly Kalvin and MB have fallen out.

The rot has definitely set in. Player unrest is the last thing we need. Come January Bielsa will be on his bike.

Up to you, I’ll certainly cheer no matter what.

And yes, I’d also like to see us play well for 90 minutes, score freely, keep clean sheets all over the shop. I just don’t see how putting the club - players, management, ownership - down every week contributes to that result.

Until Bielsa understands squre pegs doesn't work and his blind loyalty, hierarchy doesn't work we are up s**t street

[Carrick Dave]

This is based on what exactly? Just curious.

Bloody hell, relegated before Christmas.

Its all well and good with the miss-given positiveness but sometimes you have to put your foot on the ball, this a'int working and its not negative to call it out for what it is whilst something can still be done about it. There's a window coming up in Jan that needs to be taken advantage of and if the current manager is so up his own arse to do owt about it then move on. Some of those in the squad are mid Championship at best and if we want to stay and compete we need to move on or accept the inevitable!

[Finnatic]

Has to be up there as one of the worst performances in the top division in my 58 years watching Leeds.

I expected that type of display in the Championship/League One.

We were worse v Southampton and I don’t believe you re worst performance, we’ve had some shockers

Me too. I'm curious. SG90 what do you know??

[1964white]

Meslier for me.

True Davy

Roberts our best outfield player after our overworked keeper once again.

That is your perogative.

I appreciate everything MB has done for us but I am a Leeds fan not A Marcelo Bielsa one when allnis said and done.

At no point however have I said he should be sacked I must add but I feel deeply concerned and think that is with valid reason.

[SG90]

Me too. I'm curious. SG90 what do you know??

Seen it all before tbh. And what was the shiner all about?

[Stan]

And yet we had the best chances somehow

Not sure I was watching the same game, had they a decent striker this would have easily been 3+-0

[1964white]

Roberts did not have to be particular great to look better than the others. Our shape was awful from the off. WTF does he play James at 10.
After last week that selection made no sense. Firpo looking as lost as ever. He has no idea what his role is and after that early card he had no leeway to put a challenge in on Lamptey. Harrison is so frustrating this season, getting bored watching him look to the sky every time he fooks up. Needs to get a grip and stop the self indulgent why me victim persona.

We started with :

Llorente playing as RB
Phillips as a CB
Firpo as a non-existant LB
James as a striker
Rodrigo as a non-existant No.10.

Is there any wonder why there is no continuity to our game.

Bielsa is obsessed with playing players out of their natural positions when there was no need to today

They all went out in London after the Spurs game... differing stories that he fell over/got thumped...

[VoiceofaLurker]

The sky commentator pointed out that prior to the game we were only 3 points better off last season.
