Agree 100%. although I do know a few people who think there is a significant Bielsa Out camp. It's almost entirely people who aren't interested in even trying to go to games and spend too much time in Social Media. ________________________________ From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org> on behalf of Richard Walker via Leedslist <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2021 4:16:32 PM To: Michael Benjamin <m...@myray.com>; Ed Morrish <edmorr...@gmail.com>; list leedslist <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Subject: Re: [LU] Coach 22
I don’t think anyone sane is suggesting we replace Bielsa ?Well nobody I know. We’re struggling and I think a few players who hit the heights last year just can’t get there this season for whatever reason (Klich, Dallas, Harrison). The spine of Bielsa’s team have all been injured and some continue to be so (Llorente, Philips, Raphinha and Bamford) and the players coming in to replace them are not performing (Rodrigo, Struijk, Roberts).I think we miss Allioski more than I thought we would. We hardly attack down the left side anymore and certainly not with the pace and directness that Harrison and Allioski used to do.This is Bielsa’s biggest test so far and hopefully he’ll show us he can turn it around because that performance yesterday was a real horror show and if we continue to play like that we will go down.

We'd sell and start all over again. This year not only have players gone backward but no one has progressed from the under 23s who are not on the fringes before. I am at a loss as to why or what is happening, plenty of guesses, but why guess. We will wait and see.

And when the team succeeds it’s because he’s got them playing in a way that none of our previous coaches ever have. So for all the problems we’ve got - a small squad, no plan B, a reluctance to change underperforming players - I wonder if a different coach would be able to change anything, given the players we’ve got? I mean, Bielsa’s the coach who turned Luke Ayling into someone people talk about being called up for England. Is there anyone else who can do that, or would they need to spent £30m on a new right back? In other words, if Bielsa is the best manager for this group of players, don’t we kind of have to just stick with him, at least until we have 11 Raphinhas available for selection…? Ed.
