Doomed? Obviously football is not an exact science, and I'm never keen on choosing players based on stats.
Whilst Bielsa has taken the team to wonderful places over the last couple of years, he has also repeated many 'mistakes'. His solutions to problems do not seem to change, however many times they fail. Last season there were not enough chances being created or taken with the possession we had. Same this year. Last season we had to mix and match at centre-back, left-back, centre midfield and up front. Sometimes not having a recognised player in the starting X1 in those roles, let alone on the bench. The same has happened this year. Last season Casilla's antics cost us at the end, and the same is happening this year. Last season - complete ineptness in the workings of the English transfer system left us short of players. Same again. I could probably go on. Bielsa may be a football coaching genius, but to think that last year's failings would not be repeated if the same problems were not addressed is arrogant and stupid. I cannot think of another coach in any sport who would have done that. So - onto tonight's game. It would be great to see him change a few things around to freshen things up, it is what teams need now and again. I'd love him to drop Costa, play Hernandez on the right, bring in Shackleton and Phillips. Choose between Dallas and Alioski at Left back, but what Mbuemo could do to either of them is frightening. Pontus to score from a corner? KOT. ____________________________________________________________ UK Shared Business Services Ltd. Registered in England and Wales as a limited company.?
