[Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans
- Thread starter vagabond
- Start date
I'm afraid I couldn't help myself and let myself down today. I was serving a family from Leeds in our local bookshop, and the lad had a Leeds quilted top on. I felt obliged to ask him in a rather gloating tone whether he was looking forward to championship football next year, ha ha. He looked quite upset.
He was only eight.
He was only eight.
I liked that. Bit cruel - but fair.

What I want to know is, if Bielsa can turn a nothing player like Ben White into a 50m player and England squad member then why hasn't he just done it again. He has got a huge squad of average players that just need the Biela shine.
Surely he can do this 18 times and they can return to the pinnacle of European competition, AKA being beaten in the final.

Did you not see Luke Ayling's performance against Liverpool? All down to Bielsa, that.

Maybe there is another explanation as to why he can't turn water into wine at will.
Don't tell Leeds fans though their heads might explode.

I think you erred on the side of the positive. Last time they went down from the PL they were in n League 1 only three seasons later. If you were a bad person you would have said that. Don’t beat yourself up.

To be fair to the Leeds fans, they are right. We aren't league rivals [emoji6]

I think for the first time the media love in with Bielsa's Leeds is starting to fade.
Lawro in his predictions said
"Leeds have bigger problems, though. You can't play the way they do against Liverpool and expect to get away with it, but they just don't have a Plan B.
I'm expecting a reaction from Spurs, but I don't think Leeds can do anything different, especially with Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips still out injured, which is why they have been dragged into a relegation scrap."
Is this the start of the end for the wankfest over Leeds- are they finally seeing what most on this thread were pointing out 2 years ago- if you only play one way, and can not change in anyway regardless of the situation you find yourself in, you arent a tactical genius- you are a numpty
I warrant Brighton change their tactics more in one half than Leeds have in 3 years. GP was one of the first to realise how to nullify Leeds, the only surprise is that its taken this long for everyone else to cotton on
If Burnley, Newcastle continue picking up points, Leeds could find themselves in the bottom 3 in a couple of weeks- lovely

I agree. I was listening to Football Weekly last night and Rushden posed the question: "At what point to Leeds think about trying a new tactic?" (paraphrased).
Leeds are undoubtedly missing Cooper, Bamford and Phillips just as we would if we missed Maupay, Dunk and Bissouma, but what I'm struggling to work out is why Bielsa hasn't just "done another Ben White" and turned their sh*t back ups into world beaters.

It might sound unlikely but IF Burnley win 1 of their games this week, Newcastle beat an out of sorts Brentford and Everton scrape a point against City and Leeds get beaten by Spurs then they could be in the bottom 3 as
early as Monday evening!
Have said to Jnr we'll go if that's on the table.

Imagine the meltdown on here if GP went to Dirty Leeds. A lot of Leicester fans would offer to drive Brenda there.

Excellent. A manager described as being linked with Manchester Utd is in the same breath linked with a club in freefall and heading back to the 2nd division. Certainly lives up to the ‘deluded’ theme of the thread. I think Leeds should go for Klopp or Guardiola.
I posted this on the Premier League tonight thread.
It’s another level of delusion at dirty Leeds . Copied from twitter tonight,
Leeds with no rudder, a sinking ship. There /are/ three worse teams, but we’re now squinting to find them.
But to turn on Bielsa is absolute insanity. There is no better man to be in charge.

If Brendan Rodger’s were to get the sack from Leicester - which I don’t think would happen - I couldn’t see him wanting to go there.
And why would Mr potter want to go there anyway? He’s better off and in the middle of a project where he is.

Ashworth going to Newcastle just shows that nothing is beyond the realms of possibility. It's unlikely definitely, but nothing surprises me in football at this point.

very different circumstances though. Ashworth has got the dream job in world football. Basically playing football manager in real like with an open cheque book to do with as he pleases.
Leeds are going in one direction.
