I just love the attitude by some on here but mainly on Twitter that
Bielsa knows best and can do no wrong. 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.
