If Bielsa had a ruthless streak in him, he'd announce our lineup for Swansea 48 hours ahead of kickoff, as he normally does, so Swansea could spend two days preparing to face that team and its expected tactics. Then Bielsa should actually field a significantly different first XI for the game,

None of that makes him a great interpreter. I basically figured this was deliberate on Bielsa's part. Having a 'terp whose native language is neither English nor Spanish is almost guaranteed to produce really tortured translations, and that's what we get. Cheers! Sean -Original

I can't understand why Clarke isn't in the squad. Frankly, I'd be starting him. Every time I've seen him he's made things happen in a way that Harrison doesn't.  I also thought (as I did often last season) that we got outmuscled far too easily, far too frequently today. Sean -Original

I think that's a bit unfair on Phillips, who I thought had a good game, frequently winning the ball back and making good passes. I also thought Jansson put in some good challenges. I agree about Dallas, Clarke and Roberts. We have to stop conceding first. Easier said than done, I know, but we

I find it interesting that so few Listers, not to mention the Sky commentators, have identified Warnock's early departure as a major factor in yesterday's game. When your captain and best defender have to leave the field after ten minutes, that is bound to have an effect. (In fact, it has at

I really think it's time to get rid of Darko. I did a little maths before this game. If we'd continued getting points at the rate we were getting them under Redfearn we'd have been in first place now. I didn't bother figuring out where we'd end up at the end of the season at the rate of points

I agree. It's also worth going back and re-reading the Pearce interview from shortly after Darko arrived, in which he made a reference to doing things differently under Milanic, without really endorsing the new approach. If I were a betting man, I'd bet many of the players wish Redfearn had
