moseeds 162 Posted 23 October Report Share Posted 23 October Rodger's is perservering with a very odd mid-90s italian style of left/right/back again football. Not sure why as the players aren't buying into it either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martyn 1,296 Posted 23 October Report Share Posted 23 October (edited) Leeds could have a field day with us in our present form. Our midfield isnt energetic or mobile enough to cope with the numbers they get forward. We'd have to have a very very precise day in possession.

twister 576 Posted 23 October Report Share Posted 23 October Grealish is a very good player but it was a very selfish display tonight in the final third that hurt his team He did this last week as well when he had barkley free, and saka struggled to get a pass to He needs to keep his game simple like he did against liverpool pass it move it, turn it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope with Little Wes in the team this habit of the CB’s playing side ways passes is banished from our game. Leeds are a very decent Team. At least this result will shut up all those pundits that were knocking out hand shandy’s as Villa went 4 games unbeaten. Didn't Villa have a good start to the 2015-2016 season? That ended well... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lost 9 of their next 10. Bottom of the league after that 9th loss. Stayed there.

It depends what you call a good start. They won their first game .... .... but then didn't win another one until about game 20 or 21. They've already won more games than they did that season.

FoyleFox 672 Posted 23 October Report Share Posted 23 October A draw would've been a preferable result tonight, choosing either is like being asked if you'd prefer to be poked in the left eye or the right. Details of PPV per club after the latest selection. At least if they're doing it they could make it more equal across the teams. Attempt to rip all fans off equally!

Nalis 4,696 Posted 24 October Report Share Posted 24 October 10 hours ago, kingfox said: To be fair I think Leeds is the perfect fit for him as it didnt really work out anywhere else at the top level. Maybe he'd be ready for a move elsewhere but too early to tell. He missed loads of chances with Leeds in the Championship but they were patient and then things fell into piece for him once he got some confidence. Dont think we could have afforded that patience if we signed him and would have slated him before selling him to Cardiff or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pazzerfox 553 Posted 24 October Report Share Posted 24 October Leeds are the prime example of how we played during our title win. Fast, counter attacking football. Don't let the opposition get set. High press. Unbelievable energy. Overloads in key areas.i It's just a question of how long they can keep it up for as it requires an awful lot from an individual. Great to watch though, well done Leeds United. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it more difficult to do it at a higher level ? the lower number of games should compensate so I wouldn’t expect to see any drop off until feb/March based on previous seasons - if at all .... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leeds fan here. In our first season under Bielsa, results did tail off in the last ten games but it wasn't due to fitness. Running stats actually went up. It was mental and the pressure told. Last season, we were getting better and better before lockdown, winning our last 5. We had already played more games by then than we will in the PL and closer together. With more rest time, there will be zero drop off in energy levels this season, they will play in the last game the same as we played last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sunbury Fox 1,272 Posted 24 October Report Share Posted 24 October (edited) Imagine what Bielsa could do with better quality players? What he's achieving with some very average players is very impressive. Or would it be more difficult for him to get more technical, higher quality players to run themselves into the ground like this Leeds team do? A lot of their game plan seems to be based on being fitter than the opposition. As a result, they always seem to be able to get overloads all over the pitch.

Bielsa targets a certain type of individual to work with. In Rodrigo's case, Spain's present number 9. In Koch's case, German international and probably their best young CB. Raphinia is also a truly outstanding talent who will start to feature more. Other players like Costa, Cooper and Bamford are certainly not recognised top tier players. They all share the same personal ethics and willingness to work hard and improve. He then improves the average players to the point that - for example - Bamford outshines Spain's 9. Certain players just wouldn't do what he wants. Don't believe this teams lacks talent though, there is class throughout. Edited 24 October by Pub breath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
