Your gutter slags really should be elevated to street level Leon.

Way over the top.
Regardless of whether we agree with each other or not we can at least remain civil to one another.

Don't see what the big fuss is about. Some people think Ali is a good player and just low on form right now, some people think he isnt actually that good. Either way the fact is that he hasn't been performing that well and you'd have to think that if bielsa had a decent option on the bench he would have perhaps made the change. As he doesn't have a decent option, he doesn't have much choice. Not sure Jack Clarke is ready yet for that kind of role and bielsa is clearly wary of blooding in the young players too early. At the same bielsa has never really won anything as a manager, and so I'm not sure you can say what he's doing is necessarily the right thing. Maybe if we go and win the league and Ali plays every game then you could say it (though I'm. Of the opinion that the team are carrying him a bit atm).

Also don't rhink anyone hates Ali, just that he doesn't deserve to be in the team right now based on performances recently.
I am all for criticism of players but there is a difference between criticism and abuse and too many Leeds players have had to suffer abuse from the people who are supposed to be the 'team's 12th man.' In my opinion now Alioski is almost trying to hard and not playing by instinct and when that happens to players they don't play as well as they can. I remember a match a few seasons ago when Noel Hunt came on as a substitute. He was in the middle of an awful run of matches for Leeds and playing poorly but the reaction he got from fans when he came on was attrocious - even my missus who doesn't really follow football was shocked. A few minutes after he came on a great throughball came his way, it was about knee high and if he'd taken it down he would have been clean through on goal. You'd expect any professional to have been able to take it down but he was so low on confidence, so afraid to make a mistake that he mis-controlled it and the chance went. So for me the fans booing him had directly affected him and directly stopped a great goalscoring opportunity for Leeds. Now Noel Hunt for us was poor but there is no doubt he was and had been a better player than he showed for us and with better support from the fans maybe he takes that ball in his stride, slots it home and his confidence is back and he starts scoring goals and helping Leeds win.

The manager picks the players, the players have put us top of the table so let's get behind every player and push the team over the finishing line.

It is not surprise that we score more second half goals as thats when Alioski gets subbed!
if there is a defence of him (other than diving) it is 45 minutes running his socks of hassling defenders and not giving them a minute to settle
I think that helps wear them down a fraction and it does then give a little extra space for the "finishers" to come on and take the points for the team
with the limited squad we have it seems to work. 2nd half winners in the past 5 games and only 1 goal in the first half in 5 games (and that was AFTER 45 mins on the clock!)
