If Bielsa went by the name of Nigel Pearson nobody would be saying anything.

You won't find a bigger myth than bielsa 

To be fair he did pioneer the defender-less back 4. Pretty visionary.

Did you read that in your £1 annual subscription to the athletic

I like the fact Bielsa doesn't play defensive football but the over the top praise and hypocrisy compared to other managers is sickening. If he keeps Leeds up it's a good job, and if he does it playing with no defenders then fair play

Well sometimes you have to learn to be a bit more defensive, especially for a club like Leeds,  tactically he seems poor to me

The OTT praise isn’t really his fault tbf and he doesn’t seem to court it like Jose, Klopp, Pep etc.

Leeds are having a pen and inker here, this'll be the biggest result for Ole since he helped that bloke avoid his rape conviction.

[Guest seanfox778]

Hopefully they come to the King Power really over confident after this 

[whoareyaaa]

leeds keeper is shit

[Hoopla10]

Bielsa is pretty innovative as a manager. How many managers sign for a club then two days later resign? Why mess about with a run of bad performances, questions being asked in the media about losing his job, the fans screaming from the stands for his head... like a genius he skipped all that hassle and accelerated the inevitable. 

Leeds under Bielsa are basically Ole and ManU's wet dream. Leeds want to play out and ManU can only win when the opposition play out.

Hope we smash these coonts but we all know bruno will get a PK

Leeds are a bit shit, don't get the hype.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Leeds are trash.

 

[Kasey Keller]

The comeback is on

[shailen]

Leeds are a slighty better version of Blackpool from a few seasons ago. They'll be found out eventually if they deploy these tactics game in game out. 

[Guest seanfox778]

4-4 would be terrific. You can do it, Leeds

I know I shouldn't be shocked by anything on Talkshite, but I was listening to Durham the other day banging on about how Leeds had got too cocky and "started to believe their own hype", absolutely outrageous even by his standards!

Yeah that's fair enough.

They have nothing on Charlie Adam and GTF strutting their stuff

[Ian Nacho]

Bielsa is the type of bloke who looks like he needs his hard drive checking. 

[Dan]

FIFA coach of the year nomination btw.

 

I like the bloke but football's lost the plot.

[LestaAl]

Spurs hanging on to their EL spot ...at least for Christmas anyway ..

[Izzy]

That touch by McTomminay for his second was sublime
