Harsh to judge the guy on two games, but whatever he's supposed to be bringing to the party, he needs to bring it come Sunday and every game after that. My worry after watching that display the other night is that, stripped of Bielsa's brilliant but flawed system, most of our players look like what they are, championship players who massively overachieved as part of a machine whose sum was greater than the individual parts. Maybe KP, Bamford and Cooper back will make a difference, but that's a big ask in a team that looks shot and doomed.

I'm doing my ranting on, where people are more tolerant of that sort of thing!
I hope you're giving the ones that wanted Bert to be given the boot the hell they deserve.
I'm not 100% if i'm banned from there, i'm definitely banned from another other than TSB but can't remember what site it was.
If not, it'll probably be my next port of call after the pricks from TSB gang up here to get me removed, was a bad move on my part really, as the last one i got banned from, two or three of the backslapping crew were in high office there and mods
Not the end of the world.

I would say our championship line up was probably stronger than the line up v Villa (or indeed the line up for many matches this season).
GK Kiko/Messlier LB Alioski, RB Ayling, CB White and Cooper, DM KP, CM Dallas & Klich, LW Harrison, RW Pablo, FW PB. The only glaring area you could argue we have improved would be Raphinha and given his form of late I wouldhave dropped him even if we were in the championship.

If we do go down it would be good to get a manager that has achieved promotion form the chammpionship. One that doesn't need a massive chequebook and can make players play miles better than they have ever done before. One that could cope with the pressure of managing Leeds too would be good.
Wonder if anyone who fits that bill is available......

Don't get me going Weasel, he's probably enjoying the wildlife walking in the Falklands.
I'm serious when i say this, if Naaarch beat us tomorrow, i'd chop the monkeys balls off and and take them to Bert begging him home on Monday.

My god, how we miss Pablo.
Hernandez inspired us & knew where the net is, scoring goals for fun unlike our current shot shy forwards.

Indeed Clacton
The likes of Ayling, Dallas, Meslier & Bamford were the best of a bad bunch vs Villa.
Rodrigo & Raphinha were a disgrace & Koch looked like a headless chicken.

The Leeds equivalent to Richarlieson. He can go with pleasure if he carries on sulking . Playing for Brazil has done us no favours at all however I understand how he must feel coming back to play with this dross but there's no room for sulkers in our position.
