In fact, if truth be told his management in last night's game was woeful and I'd put it right up there with some of Kevin Blackwell's finest. The question is how do you replace Phillips ? Now in his head Bielsa has his 2 players per position rule. This is almost a religious belief for him and the fact Forshaw is injured really messes with his mind. Ok, even if we accept that there is nobody at the club who can sit in front of the defence and play square and backward balls all day how can you possible explain the way he went with 3 at the back with Ayling as the main central defender ? It was ludicrous. Barnsley immediately cut us open with some pretty basic balls on to runners in the box. You could see Bielsa wasn't happy and I'm sure he tried to change it in that first half but all the seemed to happen was confusion. White was stepping backwards and forwards,Beradi was operating in a free role and Ayling showed he's not a central defender or a great passer of the ball from that position. His kick for touch in the first half made me spill my wine in laughter. Now you can dismiss this as a blip but if you look back on Bielsa's career he has a habit of not getting teams over the line after a great start. I think we've got too many points for that to happen now but last night was a real concern for me. It was obvious from the start that Bielsa was the most nervous man in the ground and the transmitted to his players via his manner and his tactics. We were v.lucky last night. and before anyone comes back with the Bielsa is God post, yes I think he is. To get what he's got out of that team which in my opinion has some very average players is truly remarkable. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Dorigo's Right Buttock... _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Dorigo's Right Buttock...
