For the first time I am starting to entertain some doubts about Bielsa.
I fear his unique system simply cannot survive implementation long term in
the Premier League. Ultimately, to ask players who, don't forget, are
nothing more than jumped-up 2nd Div journeymen to go up 1v1 game after game
My thoughts entirely.

I think that's slightly unfair on Bielsa, Rob. The "second division
journeymen" are largely players he inherited - Ayling, Dallas, Cooper,
Phillips, Forshaw, Klich, even Roberts. To that he added Meslier, Bamford,
Koch, Llorente, Raphinha, Rodrigo and James - so I don't think the plan is
to buy
What evidence do we have that Bielsa is losing the players
The crowd as Elland Road seem to be firmly behind him - i'm not sure how
relevant the noise on social media is.
Yes i'm worried for the first time - largely due to the teams below
starting to win - but we wouldnt be better under any
Worse than I expected. Bielsa is quickly losing the players, the fans, the
media, everyone. Hard to see how this is going to end well for all involved,
not without radical surgery.
Many people who were previously short sighted to what Bielsa brings to the
table are having their eyesight
On many of the Leeds chat groups, it’s probably 50/50 re pro/anti Bielsa
(anyone who criticises is plastic, not a real fan etc). I’m hoping we can get
enough points to survive this season and let Marcello walk off into the sunset,
having performed nothing short of a minor miracle at Leeds.
Losing 6-0 to Liverpool changes nothing. If we are to survive this season we
need to get points from the bottom half teams. 13 points from 13 games (and we
can do to) will be just enough.
Still optimistic.
