Agree with original post " abject " sums it up. We were awful from start to finish ( apart from first 5-10 mins of second half) We all agreed pre match that a win was possible, even likely, and follow that with victory over Norwich and we are safe - how wrong we were. We got the team news and thought with his 4 2 2 2 formation we could have players in their correct positions- Ayling and Firpo full backs, Koch and Struik centre backs , Dallas and Forshaw the first bank of 2 protecting them.Sorted. But no, he put Ayling to CH, which did mot often work for Bielsa even, Dallas to right back where he is wasted, and Koch , a player with caps for Germany at CH at defensive midfield- another experiment that has failed in the past. We managed to go 90 minutes with no real chances and no real shots ( long range attempt by Joffy straight at the keeper, and a blast 10 yards over by Bamford) When you are at the bottom luck turns against you, the first goal was an easy save till a deflection put it in, the 3rd was a lovely strike that the lad has never done before. The killer second was just awful, we left the full back on his own in our 6 yd box and he controlled the pass and slotted home. It is a real race to the bottom to work out who was our worst player , Rodrigo , Harrison, both gave the ball to villa more than to Leeds players. But Firpo probably takes that accolade and, in the absence of Roberts, took the ire of the crowd, so much so that his injury was met with some cheers and" hope its serious" The crowd had had enough and lots left when the 3rd went in, many leaving whilst chanting " Marcelo Bielsa " The final whistle was met with booing, for the first time this season- Jesse's honeymoon period was very short. I do not know how he can turn it around by Sunday but if we fail to beat Norwich then we are down Very disgruntled and dissappointed this morning- for 4 years Leeds even I defeat have made me smile (come up and see me) but today it is all do and gloom Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected]
