They'd beat us with 10 men just as easy. We can't defend end of. Bielsa would've sacrificed a 'defender' thinking we're gonna hammer them and they pick us off. Might not have been 6 but they'd still win.

Ye of little faith, Bielsa has a cunning plan A
Stop worryin' about what people say, when it ain't gonna stop them anyway.

Have had enough now

Crazy starting set up with ayling at CB instead of Cresswellc

Dallas needed to start in midfield which proved to be the case when he was moved.

Shackleton is a better full back than Ayling

Gelhardt gave us some energy but Summerville would have given us more

Roberts - unbelievable

Bielsa has clearly lost the plot

The only person that might possibly save us is Kalvin

On the plus side, my match prediction was 6-0 :)

You cant live off past exploits, that isnt how it works.

Ranieri was sacked 8 months after winning the title with Leicester ( that with respect is far more amazing than anything Bielsa has done for us)

Managers are judged on the now, you cant justify a manager by mentioning the past.
Ranieri never got leicester promoted to the Premier league and if I remember correctly kept them up and just?

Don't remember Wolves getting spanked 6 n 7 do you? Also in their first season I seem to remember them doing remarkable well .

Wolves were signing English Premier league players in the championship, had a Portugal connection due to owners.

Have invested massively since then 👍.

You on the other hand have still to do that.

With all due respect Leeds are a bigger club and better than Sheffield United 👍.

Didn't see them having many England call ups.

He won the Premier League with them.

It was literally seen as impossible

You cant compare what Bielsa has done with us to that, it isnt even close to as incredible.

And yet with Leicester only having 2 more points than we do now and a much better goal difference Ranieri was sacked after matchday 25.

Edit . .I meant to put 2 less points not more.

Ranieri played a counter attacking style, having vardy and mahrez was massive.

Kante gave them dig in midfield.

You're missing Phillip's and Bamford, Cooper three key player's so don't think it's fair to compare tbh.

We've had the likes of Maguire, Tarkowski, Ming's and Coady trundling through our centre.

We'll give Kane & Son all the freedom of the park, I suspect Burnley didn't.

If you are missing players then adapt.

Klopp adapted Liverpool slightly when they lost Van Dijk and Matip and them other players.

I find it difficult to use the injuries as an excuse when

1) the club passed up the opportunity in January to bring in reinforcements so therefore the club dont feel the injuries should be an excuse.

2) We make no allowances for them, in our style of pay or tactics, nothing, we play as if nothing has changed.

If the current Champions at the time had to adapt slightly to try and cope better with their injuries then so should we, if Bielsa is incapable then that is poor for a coach being paid millions, if he is unwilling because he doesnt feel the squad can adapt or he doesnt want to then that reflects badly on him in both scenarios because he has helped build an inflexible 1 dimensional squad and is actively putting his philosophy over the clubs survival.

Neither explanations reflect well on a man being paid millions of pounds a year.
