[Albion] Premier League 18-19/12/21

[Swansman]

He only lavishes praise on managers he beats for fun (when Citeh have 11 men) in naively open games.

Not everyone’s spotted that pattern of faux praise yet.

Maybe because they beat pretty much everyone for fun...

 

[Swansman]

Recent weeks have proven without a doubt that Pep can spot a great manager from a mile away. Bielsa is a once in a generation coachng master and Potter the best English coach bar none. I wonder why their teams have been so shit in recent months?

Because both are in charge of quite shit teams (compared to a lot of others in the PL)? Football is played on the pitch.

 

[Scappa]

That’s the bit I don’t understand. Bielsa invented Ben White so why are these Leeds players so shit ?

The Bielssiah works in mysterious ways

14 goals conceded (could easily have been nearer 20) in 8 days is obviously part of the plan

Say and think what you like about dirty Leeds this is quite admirable imo. Bielsa will take hope from this as it’s unusual, I’m not going to think of the reaction at the Amex in similar circumstances. Crowd support means so much to struggling teams imo, although it sounds like the WACCOE matchday thread was similar to the ones on here when we are on a losing or no wins run.

From the BBC site:

But the manager, who guided Leeds back to the Premier League two seasons ago, continues to be adored by an Elland Road faithful who stayed vocal in their support.

"It's an act of love towards the badge," Bielsa told BBC Sport about the fans' continuing faith."In times where the support mostly only comes when the team is winning, to receive that company and that closeness after a third consecutive defeat - and having conceded 14 goals in three games - distinguishes the public of Leeds.

I think Bielsa always comes across well. I can't understand the reverence he is held in though and I think he may have been 'found out' by more tactically aware managers this season

Still hate dirty Leeds though

 

[Springal]

Elland Road atmosphere in the last 15 min definitely put the Amex to shame to any point this season

Hmm, I think quite a few think exactly the same about our manager. That’s football for you, how dull if we all said and thought the same

Admirable in a way, yes. Common uncommon sense in another. If you're wife or friend have a bad day, what is most likely to make them have a better day tomorrow: telling them how shite they are, or supporting them.

How on earth did we nearly lose to Newcastle? They’re worse than appalling

Chelsea furious their game won't be called off. Expect a lock down Monday

True, but City are pretty much unplayable at the moment to be fair. Different league

Blimey. City getting a touch of Brighton-itis getting caught out fannying around at the back
