useless Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I think Leeds are definiely overachieving, and as much as people on here spitefully can't bring themselves to admit that Bielsa is doing a good job or throw a tantrum when anyone else dares to praise him, it's thanks to him that they're doing so well, with most other managers they'd be in a relegation battle with the squad that they have, it's similar to the job that Wilder did with Sheffield United last season.

With most other managers they wouldn't be in the Premier League now. They hit gold with Bielsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. We're only a point or two off top 6 now and a few teams will be playing each other in next few weeks Spurs-Chelsea, Man. United-Everton etc so all it takes is a win or two and we're right in it. Leeds only need two wins to be sure of safety now but I can't see them going into beach mode anytime soon, they will target a top half finish.

I think the issue people have comes from the over the top Bielsa spunk fest (yes he has done well - but nominated for best Manager in the world? - or something), as well as some other issues that makes people......not so open to praising them. but ye, credit where its due, they are doing amazingly well, but their fans are pretty scummy and some of their players are t**ts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2021 Fair play to Leeds. Good result that. Don't like a lot of their players but you can't deny the awesome job they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's more the press and TV fawning with the idea that no other promoted team to premier league has ever come up and played like this or got decent results. Wolves were actually pretty decent to watch two years back and finished 7th which I very much doubt Leeds will do. I enjoyed watching Sheffield United last season and they'll also finish higher than Leeds will this season imo. However I've always liked watching Bielsa teams right back to when he was Argentina manager in early 2000s and they played some wonderful football in run up to 2002 world cup. Shame they flopped there but he then went on to Chile and got them back on world stage and Bilbao were a great watch in 2011/12 season. It's give or take with them but as I've said they could be one of those teams that will be handy for us as Leicester won't be the last team they take points off that are above us in remainder of the season.

Would rather Liverpool won as getting at least a draw would further improve West Ham's confidence right before playing us but not hopeful looking at the team Liverpool have put out, far weaker than what they played v Spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
