[Albion] Premier League 11-13/12

[El Presidente]

is there some kind of national dullards graph centre?

You called?

If the penalty is scored, then encroachment by either team is not considered a factor.

It would only come into play if the ball was tucked away on the rebound, or if an encroaching defender cleared it.

Thanks. Wasn't my understanding of the law, but maybe a practical application? But that's the ridiculous thing isn't it. We're stuck here with VAR being used to determine whether a toenail is offside, so applying the letter of the law precisely - yet they're happy to let an offence go because there is an 'understanding' that it doesn't matter. No wonder we're puzzled.

I’m confused. When is Leeds’ charge into Europe starting?

The way pundits talk about them, I assumed they were already firmly ensconced in the top 6. You can imagine my shock when I saw the table just now.

Equally when's the Albion's charge to midtable going to begin?

I am worried about the number of entitled fans we have these days

We know our place, and it’s not mid table

Not just pundits, folk HERE were chastising how great Leeds were, how they’d embarrass us and be a force in this league under Bielsa.

I predicted at the start of the season there’s a chance of #bielsaout becoming a thing if the pressure goes on. I still think they’ll be in a relegation battle. Let’s see what happens.

Do you know what a long term goal is?

Just woke up to the good news about the score line last night. I went to bed early (when it was 1-1) as was getting tired of the ineptitude of Haller but this has set the weekend up nicely.

They’ve had a few injuries in defence, including Pound-shop Ben White being out Injured until mid March apparently. They could be in trouble if their season takes its usual trajectory with their shallow squad of players getting burnt out from playing high-energy press every week.

Huddersfield mk2.
High intensity pressing is fine if you have a squad like Liverpool, it also helps if you have a plan b. The greatest manager in the world appears to have neither.

Bielsa needs to shave his head round the back and sides and pull the top up into a small ponytail for the sake of team unity.

#Bielsaout trending on twitter. Fickle lot [emoji23][emoji23]

Would love to see what WACCOE makes of it but I’m blocked [emoji23][emoji23]

Leeds defending of corners looked worse then ours. WH 2nd goal. All Leeds defenders on far post went to the centre leaving scorer free

He does have a Plan B it was explained by a 'talkhead' Leeds pundit on the wireless:-

'If Plan A isn't working.
Work harder to make Plan A work'.


As you say Greatest Manager of a Generation.

Oh wow, it really is. I thought it might happen eventually, but too soon now.

Nope. Their Bielsa god is no longer their hero. Hilarious [emoji38]

It's almost a shame that the plankton-botherer isn't around to comment*


*ok, maybe not

 

[Icy Gull]

I think Leeds have done brilliantly this season, given where they have come from. Unbelievable that some of their fans want him out.

Hehe why would anyone think that’s a good look !

 

[Bognor Seagull]

I wander how they will finish in the league compared to us?

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I'm waiting for Bielsa to get his arse stuck in his bucket.

I think Leeds will be in for the relegation battle, like a lot of the teams in the bottom half. Their fans are probably now starting to realise this.

Who finishes higher? Who knows. Difference is I think our fanbase (mostly) has a more realistic perspective. We’re expecting to be bottom half and to have the threat of relegation*. Whereas some Leeds fans genuinely thought they’d be top 7.

* Note: for those who don’t realise, top 10 is a long term goal.
