Its like they dont like Bielsa anymore Like their owners ambition and expectation was to be a stable PL team rather than getting CL within 2 years of promotion Same as wolves fans it's almost like no one told them that's how the top of the PL works...

Don't think a top 4 will be in for him. Not sure if we'd have a chance, but maybe. I don't think we would have done 6 months ago, but their fall from grace could present an opening if it continues, and he's a fantastic player, great to watch.

Biesla was a managerial genius. It's been a rather predictable fall from grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I know they’ve had a few injuries but their team on paper is absolutely woeful. Phillips and Raphinha aside, they’re a championship outfit so whilst we mock Bielsa and their sharp drop off in form, boy has he done a good job there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 How dare they ask professional athletes to work hard?! Spurs at least should have a squad capable of rotating and handling hard work. If the wheels falls off at Leeds after 2 very successful years is more understandable. MON made the mistake of only using about 12 players for the whole season so naturally it all fell apart in March each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphinha only player keeping them from being complete mud this season. No Bamford showing as big loss until he returns from injury. Never thought I'd say that about the latter cheating bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a large part of it was him deliberately running over to celebrate in front of them, but if I ever found myself that angry over something so trivial, I'd want to reevaluate my life.
