Maybe Alioski's nuttiness was actually a bonus? He just went with the flow and
did things other players wouldn't (bomb into the box at any time of the game.)
Firpo seems more like your usual professional that takes risk into
consideration.

trying to go to games and spend too much time in Social Media.

I don’t think anyone sane is suggesting we replace Bielsa ?Well nobody I know.
We’re struggling and I think a few players who hit the heights last year just
can’t get there this season for whatever reason (Klich, Dallas, Harrison). The
spine of Bielsa’s team have all been injured and some continue to be so
(Llorente, Philips, Raphinha and Bamford) and the players coming in to replace
them are not performing (Rodrigo, Struijk, Roberts).I think we miss Allioski
more than I thought we would. We hardly attack down the left side anymore and
certainly not with the pace and directness that Harrison and Allioski used to
do.This is Bielsa’s biggest test so far and hopefully he’ll show us he can turn
it around because that performance yesterday was a real horror show and if we
continue to play like that we will go down.

This team is Bielsa.
If it fails we simply go down. No one can get more out of them.
We'd sell and start all over again.
This year not only have players gone backward but no one has progressed from
the under 23s who are not on the fringes before.
I am at a loss as to why or what is happening, plenty of guesses, but why
guess. We will wait and see.
This is Bielsa's show

Subject: [LU] Coach 22
Watching the highlights of a pretty abject performance yesterday, a problem
occurred to me: Bielsa has gotten players like Kalvin and Bamford playing in a
way that no other coach has ever managed. And when the team succeeds it’s
because he’s got them playing in a way that none of our previous coaches ever
have. So for all the problems we’ve got - a small squad, no plan B, a
reluctance to change underperforming players - I wonder if a different coach
would be able to change anything, given the players we’ve got? I mean, Bielsa’s
the coach who turned Luke Ayling into someone people talk about being called up
for England. Is there anyone else who can do that, or would they need to spent
£30m on a new right back?
In other words, if Bielsa is the best manager for this group of players, don’t
we kind of have to just stick with him, at least until we have 11 Raphinhas
available for selection…?
Ed.
