I am concerned. Mainly that Bielsa decides he’s had enough of trying to get premier league performances out of mid table championship players and leaves. Without him we are well and truly screwed. I think our first choice eleven is more than good enough to stay up. The problems arise when they aren’t available. I was disappointed with the recruitment in the summer. Not because I was expecting a load of marquee signings, but because I hoped we’d address the depth of the squad. I don’t mean the number of players, because we all know Bielsa prefers a small squad, I mean making sure the reserve for each position isn’t too much worse than the first choice player. I don’t see that we have a back up for Kalvin which seems ludicrous given how important he is to our system. I’m not sure we have a first choice ten, never mind a back up. If we are only a few injuries away from Roberts up front then we’ve got problems! I’m really disappointed with Rodrigo. Is he a ten? Is he a striker? Is he arsed at all? He doesn’t close down anything like as well as Bamford does and I think that has a knock in effect for the rest of our high press. There were rumours of clubs wanting to take him back to Spain. I’d snatch their hand off, I just don’t think we’ll get our money back on him.
