I probably remember it more than most. I listened to it with a ghetto blaster on my shoulder while walking on the beach, it being the day after I got married!

All the same, we were appalling, and I am convinced there is no way we can avoid relegation. We don't deserve to avoid relegation; we are a dreadful team playing dreadful football. At the end of the day, the management has proven itself an abysmal failure. When they were taking Bielsa, they knew that the guy was like a Benzedrine tablet; he would get you up, and then there would be a crash. They waited for the crash instead of avoiding it. Bielsa should have gone at Christmas; we should have bought at Christmas and had a new manager in by Christmas. None of this was done, and we are left with a catastrophic aftermath. This is the Leeds way of doing everything look as if you can and then prove that you can't. Always drama never victories any pride and lots of disgrace. The only silver lining I see is that it will be getting out of the division, which is a hive of mercenary scum and assorted murderers and international thieves. The 2nd division is more about football and cities with football teams. You can't say that about the Premier League, and I will be glad to be out of it in many respects. It is not the old 1st division; it is nothing like it. So why pretend? We are a shit team and we don't deserve to be in the Premier League, and the Premier League doesn't deserve to exist anyway.

I think it was an attempt to maybe play a defensive block of 4 + 1 in a bid to make sure we didn't ship a shitload of goals again ("hollow laughter"). This bloody "ooh our manager plays players out of position" line drives me mad. (Just like all the drivel that is written about positions in the batting order for the England cricket team.)

The place was immaculate, with a great view ;-) I couldn't wait to thank him when we met to sink a few gorgeous beers in some amazing bars. I've been in love with the place ever since.

Re: [LU] Chelsea
For possibly the first time under Bielsa, I think we are putting out the best team we can, given our personnel. The players who infuriated me week after week (e.g. Costa) are finally out of the starting lineup. Yes, what remains isn't going to win the league, but with Bielsa's magic touch I'm confident that they're good enough to be mid-table in this league, which is good enough for me, this year.

Re: [LU] Wolves
The stats say we had 2 shots on target. One was Rodders in the first half, with a soft shot straight at the keeper. I assume the other came from Raph's blocked cross just after he came on?

Re: [LU] Wolves
I'm not massively downhearted about the loss. They happen. I do however continue to be perplexed at our lack of ability to cross the ball with any hint of ability. This has been an ongoing, glaringly obvious issue for all our time under Bielsa, yet not only do we not seem able to sort it out, we actively continue to play an attacking game which relies almost entirely on it. Our repeated, patient, build-up play allows the opposition to regroup and mass in defense, and then when we eventually get the ball to a 'winger', the resulting cross pretty much never hits a white shirt. We had what, three(?) last night that got into a dangerous area (one on Rodders' head that he should have done better with, one that they cleared off Paddy's foot for what should have been a corner, and one from Raph with his first touch after coming on). That may well be all that's needed on another day, but it was probably less than 10% of the crosses we attempted. On the whole, the biggest frustration is that when we attack I have a sense of inevitability about us not even creating a chance (largely because of the crossing thing above), and for very different reasons, when Wolves attacked last night I had a sense that they may score. Within 10 seconds of both times that they had the ball in the net last night, I had said to my son "they're gonna score here, if we continue to let them do this". I saw several Tweets last night from other clubs' fans saying "all Leeds do is run, run, run", and to some extent they're right.

Re: [LU] David DRB Brennan
Ah, that's shit news. Deepest condolences to all. I'll raise a glass to Dave, as I did with him in the Adelphi in another era. Nigel (the Dublin one) -Original Message- From: Leedslist On Behalf Of John Boocock Sent: 25 June 2020 15:47 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] David DRB Brennan Dear All, Earlier this week we heard of the sad death of one of the earliest members and most loved characters from the list, David “DRB” Brennan. Not only was DRB a list regular in the 90s as a trawl through the archives held by James Lundon proved but he also wrote a lot of good stuff. As a season ticket-holder he used to go to reserve matches at The Shay and (as well as Maggie Barber) post regular reports of the reserves’ progress. He was a regular source of ticket information and became very friendly with Mandy in the ticket office especially when trying to find out what times cup matches would be played and what the ticket allocations would be. DRB and his wife Kate were part of a gang that regularly met pre-match (he was an Adolphi regular), he was at the MOALM and he was the man behind the sponsored head shave at the first Euronet in 1996. Like others on the list he was a Northern Soul boy, coming from Horsforth what else would he be? One of the friendliest, funniest and kindest blokes I have had the pleasure to meet he will always be the example I would use of what the list is about. DRB leaves behind, Kate and the two boys Sid and Bradley and we have been in touch to send our sympathy. No date has been set for what will be a very small family funeral but his brother-in-law suggests there might be a memorial service in the future. The family has asked, if anyone wishes to, that donations are made to MIND which is a charity DRB supported. (https://www.mind.org.uk/donate/) We checked with the family before we posted anything to the list and they were happy for us to do this. As we get more information, we will pass this on but in the meantime please enjoy the following post to the list from 1996, it’s typical of the DRB we knew and loved (that and the bloody song he wrote about Tomas Brolin!)

HW: Well, all things considered, and bearing in mind that our players have had a hectic autograph signing session recently, and it will be a bit chilly, I think 11 players will suffice. Interviewer: Mr Wilkinson, does this mean that even though your African players are back from international duty, you will not use them? HW: All things being equal, Tony, Phil and Lucas are definitely players, and players want to play, want to play, but there can only be so many players, who play, so they may play a part in playing but it's not so warm for players who normally play, normally play, in a warmer climate. Interviewer: It was suggested that in the Aston Villa game, you may have been better playing an attacking side, as the defence, containing so many youngsters, was unlikely to keep Villa out, offence being the best sort of defence. HW: Youngsters, youngsters. I was young once, and wanted to play, wanted to play. You've got to give them a goal, I mean go, they may be short of pace, but Rob Bowman has got the same name as the Producer of the X Files, so who knows what might happen, might happen. I picked the best side for the game, for the game. When I start telling you where to use a metaphor instead of a simile, and when to employ onomatopoeic licence, then you can tell me how to pick and quarter of pick and mix, I mean a football team. Interviewer: There has been much discussion about Tomas Brolin's future at Elland Road. Can you enlighten us as to the current situation? HW: Tomas has got a white shirt, some people might say, might say, it still has Parmalat on it, but I say Thistle Hotels. I know the shirts are the same colour, and that was a major consideration in buying Tommy. I like continuity, like buying players from Sheffield, so buying a player who was used to wearing the same colour shirt fitted in well with our long-term plans. Brolly is happy wearing white and yellow trimmed with blue and if Brollywolly is happy, I'm happy, I'm happy. Interviewer: But Mr Wilkinson, Tomas Brolin is a world class player, do you think there will be a place for him in tomorrow's cup game against Port Vale? HW: This could well be a bit of a clash, what with the colour of their shirts against the blue seats of Elland Road, I might find it difficult to follow their play, especially if I forget to take my yellow tinted motorway night driving glasses off, glasses off.

Re: [LU] Reading
Yeah, pretty much how I saw it too. I've said all season that all our games are basically the same - sometimes we pass the ball more cleanly and attack with more vim, and sometimes we defend better than others, but on the whole it's generally the same game, week after week. Then it's largely down to how luck goes our way - sometimes we are unlucky and none of the chances go in, sometimes we give away one too many set pieces at the other end. We OUGHT to win pretty much every game quite comfortably, but with the quality of finishing we have it'll always be a bit of a lottery. So let's hope that the luck stays with us for the next few games... Nigel (the Dublin one) -Original Message- From: Leedslist On Behalf Of nat...@sky.com Sent: 23 February 2020 12:41 To: leeds list Subject: [LU] Reading Well in some ways this was a replica of last week- largely outclass a poor team in bad weather, only score one goal and come close at the end to conceding a goal and throwing away 2 points, but in the end holding on and getting a much needed 3 pts However although, superficially, the games were the same , in reality they were very different. Last week v Bristol the weather, although awful ,did not stop us playing great football and pinging accurate 25 yd balls across the pitch and it was only the woodwork, twice, and 2 brilliant saves / awful misses that stopped it being a total rout. Yesterday we were wayward with our passes and created few real clear cut chances. We were on the front foot from the start and 2 crosses one in the air and one right across the 6yd box after great work by Costa just failed to be met by Bamford. Klich who looks like he has forgotten how to score had a decent attempt saved when the ref played an advantage. A special mention for the ref yesterday, he really tried to let the game flow and played a number of advantages , twice ( one apiece) going back and then showing a yellow. I cant remember any really bad decisions so for once the "we only get shit refs" did not get an airing We all groaned and held our breath as the Yorkshire Pirlo went down, played on, but then went off injured, possibly a massive blow. Ayling decided he is now a goal scorer and lashed one attempt just wide before our best move and chance of the half. Some good link up play led to Harrison chilling an exquisite pass into the onrushing Alioski who hit it well but the keeper had his angled right. They were restricted to one long range shot that kiko dived to palm away 0 0 at half time but the mood in yet another full house was content was we all felt it was coming. At the start of the second half klich again found his shooting but not his scoring boots with 2 decent efforts from distance. Then came the match winner, Pablo had his first shot blocked but the ball rebounded to him and some trickery and some luck took him past a few defenders before a lovely finish into the top corner- brilliant finish and brilliant scences in the packed stands. We had a few other chances to put the game to bed a good free kick by Pablo being the pick of the bunch, but this is Bielsa's Leeds and we rarely make things easy on ourselves, the clock ticked down and the nerves in the crowd were being stretched although the confidence was mainly still there, then in the 92nd minute the almost unthinkable, almost inevitable, almost happened. The ball came their player in space inside the 6yd box, however this time it was kiko to the rescue and he came out and smothered it, a very important save. So not at our best in a poor, fairly boring game when the weather was one winner, we were the other with valuable three points, and the 11 point gap that had been whittled down to goal difference is back up a bit to 5 points, and as everyone keeps pointing out on,y Fulham of the top teams to play. This is the defining week for me (again) lose these 2 and end up in 3rd or 4th by this time next week and we are almost done for. 6 points and extend the gap and things will be very rosy. We do seem to have turned the corner and winning a scrappy poor game can only help the belief Dave ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
Re: [LU] shoot rich and wap
I really don't mind the crosses that they put into the box which go to an opponent - though they very often do it without looking up - at least they get it into the danger zone. But crossing without looking is something you can only do if you have a good idea of where your CF will be and I don't think Bamford is predictable enough for that to work. What's far more common with the crossing though is that they either balloon them over everyone or they hit the first defender, and neither of those is acceptable. As an aside, I'm really puzzled by how many people I've seen online saying Costa had a great game - someone even said he was MOTM. I thought he was pretty awful, and usually is. Our most ineffectual player for me.

Roberts didn’t offer nothing as at Luton and to be honest his injury was the best thing that happened. Second half was better as we upped the tempo and when Allioski came on for the awful Klich he made a real difference.

I agree all round. But I think that the main problem is just the lack of speed of the attacks. Think back to when Saiz was playing and Alioski was on the left wing. We all got horribly frustrated at how often Alioski got caught offside - I mean, it was ALL the time! But we just don't attack in the same way anymore, and we're rarely in a position for anyone to be caught offside. We're more fluid when Pablo is in the team obviously, but we're still not that fast attacking unit we were 12 months ago. I'm very critical of Harrison's crossing, but to be fair to him and his targets, by the time he crosses it, the box is inevitably packed.

[LU] Preston 1-1
I'll be honest - I'm not enjoying watching us play at all anymore. Every game is the same, and it is SO predictable. You could describe the way the game went without even seeing it and be 95% right, every time. My heart rate doesn't even go up during the game anymore. Not even when we scored. I just can't understand how we can't do something to change the way we act in the final third. It is Bielsa's big flaw that he can't do anything to change this. I must point out that I would have felt exactly like this, win, lose or draw tonight. I'm just so sick of it.

Re: [LU] 1-0
Eddie didn't do much to be honest. He didn't miss as many as Bamford, but that's a double-edged sword. Berra did nothing mental. We were pretty poor in the 2nd half though, and really clung on for a win. To be honest, nothing changes. I've said it before, sometimes we'll nick a goal, sometimes we'll ship one. Today's goal came from a ball steal in their 1/3rd which was in the back of the net 3 touches later - so no time to think and slow it all down to a crawl like we usually do. Kalvin's shot wasn't great, as it was straight at the keeper, but it managed to get under him and into the net.

Re: [LU] Charlton
Yep. I completely agree. It is very frustrating that the problems which stymied us last season remain our problems today. The answer? Someone who can get the byline and get a good cross in, without giving the defence time to set themselves would seem to be the obvious need. At the moment, a large percentage of our attacks end up with Harrison, who both takes too long to so anything with it, and then inevitably his final ball is useless. I'd prefer to see us a) build from both sides (quickly), and in the short term at least I'd try Alioski on the left wing and put our actual left back, Douglas in at left back! If Alioski can manage to keep onside (unlikely I know), then I think he'd be more likely to get that pacey, accurate cross in.

That he tried to pass it in to the net again is obviously Bamfords fault though. 75 minutes is significant because that's when Bielsa was forced to bring Pablo off due to Holmes doing a number on him.

Re: [LU] LU leeds Derby
I'm generally a Bamford fan, but it's starting to get difficult to justify it. He plays very well everywhere except where it matters most. But still, for me the real problem is creating chances. We have very little idea of how to break down the packed defences we see every week, and one thing that really lets us down there is the quality of the crossing. They're all poor, but Harrison in particular is dogshit when it comes to the final ball, and yet they mostly fall to him to make. And sadly, we've seen this happen so often now that I suspect that many of us DID see this coming at half time! Certainly, as soon as Klich cockily missed that penalty.

I thought just before Derby scored that I have never felt more deflated about a victory, or even draw in the end. I have to say it - again - Bamford gets on the end of things and won us a pen, but his conversion rate is not there for a centre forward. 1-0 lead is never enough and we paid heavily today for that.

Re: [LU] Forest
Nice summation and I pretty much agree with it all. The bottom line is that we have continued to play pretty much exactly like we did for the second half of last season.

Nigel (the Dublin one) -Original Message- From: Leedslist On Behalf Of Richard walker via Leedslist Sent: 10 August 2019 20:00 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] Forest Bielsa said after the match that we’d created 10 clear chances to win the game and that should have been enough. He’s right but how many times have we heard him say that since he arrived? It’s becoming almost as frequent as Simon Grayson saying ‘we put a shift in today’. Time and time again we got into goal scoring positions but due to the lack of quality of the final ball, which seemed at times to gravitate towards a red shirt, we failed to trouble the keeper. Jack Harrison was the main culprit. Yes he got himself into some great positions and made some great runs but time and time again he failed to find a white shirt. This got worse in the second half when you almost expected him to mess up when played in by yet another great cross field ball. Great things are expected of Harrison this season but on this showing he is struggling to live up to the pre-season hype. Forest offered little in the first half and looked like they’d come for a point by sitting deep and making it difficult for us. At times, our play was laboured and we struggled to get the ball moving through midfield. The passing around at the back was laboured and whilst this seems like taking control away from home it looks like a team lacking ideas when we’re doing it for 5 minutes at home. The main problem as I saw it was that Philips, Klich and Forshaw are all too similar and none were making runs which meant the only options to move the ball forward were long cross field balls to Harrison or down the right with Hernandez and Dallas. Luckily both those options were good for us. Second half I thought Forest improved as they realised we were toothless and they could actually hurt us. They were a bit unlucky for our goal as the Forest man’s tackle ricocheted to Hernandez who placed it past the keeper. Forest then brought Ameobi on they give it a go. Ameobi was fast and direct and we struggled to contain him. One of those runs resulted in the corner from which they scored. Forest were only going to score from a set piece or long throw but you sort of knew it was inevitable. From the NE upper it was hard to see what happened for the goal so I’ll wait for someone who saw it on the tv to tell me whether it was a defensive fuck up or unlucky. It just looked like we failed to clear. We huffed and puffed at the end and Costa showed us he should have come on 29 minutes earlier - bad mistake from Bielsa. Klich was out on his feet after 60 minutes. Allioski replaced the ineffective Harrison but he looked ring rusty and failed to make an impact. Surely Jack Clarke on the left wing would have been the better option ? What’s the point of having him back on loan ? Overall, we should have won, but we didn’t and we need to be better if we’re expecting promotion this season. Forest were a big physical team that made it hard for us. They offered little but in a way they did a job on us. Kiko - 5. Had literally nothing to do other than pick the ball out of the back of the net. His kicking was dodgy today. Dallas - 8. I thought he was arguably our best player today. His forward running is direct and opens things up. I thought he also defended well. Douglas - 6. Did ok, got forward first half and nearly got himself in a goal scoring position only to be denied by a great Forest tackle. Tired second half. White - 7. Generally sound but he had one or 2 moments where he came off 2nd best. Still decent for a new centre back. think he reads the game well. Cooper - 8. I thought he defended very well and some of his cross field balls were very effective. His challenge in the 2nd half when Forest were attacking was top drawer. Took ball and man. Great stuff. Phillips - 6. Didn’t do anything wrong. Some great passes and some duff passes into space. Always available and always working hard but at times he’s so pedestrian it’s untrue. There’s no way this lad is a premiership footballer but he’s doing ok. Forshaw - 7. I thought he was our best midfielder today. Never spectacular but there was a spell in the 2nd half where he just kept us together through harrying and winning the ball. Ultimately I think him , Philips and Klich are too similar to play together at home (maybe away is better). Klich - 4. I’m worried about Klich. There’s no doubts that he is not the same player we saw scoring all those goals in the first half of last season. We saw a steady decline last season and this seems to have continued in the first 2 games. Watching him today he’s playing almost as a 2nd striker

Re: [LU] non LU - VAR & offside
I think they should adopt a cricket-like approach. If the VAR shows that they are only just offside, like the "big toe" scenario, then it should go with the officials' original decision. Only if it is clearly offside (above a certain margin - maybe 20cm?) should they use VAR to overrule the decision. And maybe allow less leeway on things incorrectly ruled offside by the assistant referee, to give the attacking side more chance.

Re: [LU] VAR
It's so like the football authorities to mess this up. VAR is already ruining goal celebration for fans. I know it takes the edge off those moments of joy in other sports too, but those sports tend to have way more occasions to celebrate. In a football match there might only be one such moment, and to have that joy removed by "oh, we'll have to wait for the VAR to decide if anything untoward went on in the minute beforehand" ruins it. And why, oh why, can't they stop the clock - give that to someone off the field to control? That's one thing they could have taken from other sports, but stubbornly refuse to.

Re: [LU] Question
It has been a season and a half, certainly. But today's game was (apart from the 5 minutes of mayhem) exactly like all the others in recent times - we are toothless in front of goal to a degree that would be hilarious if it wasn't us. I think that the problem boils down to a simple lack of vision in our mostly average players. Once Saiz left and Alioski and Hernandez mystifyingly lost their vision and ability to pass, we have been left with nothing but a "pass to a white shirt" mentality, which sure gives us a lot of possession, but achieves nothing in front of goal. I don't know what's happened to Pablo - but at the end of the day he's 34 and since his early days at Valencia he hasn't exactly excelled.

Re: [LU] 4 More Cup Finals
Gotta agree Rev. I think Alioski has been off the boil for the last few games - after being truly excellent for several games before that. The midfield is a bit absent quite a lot, to be honest. I forgot Klich was even playing for much of today's game. And Berardi does not look at all comfortable with the passing around at the back. But none of that matters tonight! On the really positive side, we mostly looked like we knew where the net was today, which has certainly not been true of a lot of games this season. Shots a plenty!

There was something between him and Pontus at the beginning too - it didn’t look entirely friendy/supportive - maybe Pontus said “try and pass it to a white shirt for a change” :-) Casillas - if this guy is supposed to generate calm it is not working.

Re: [LU] Preston
Nice hands-on report, and matches well with the view from my French armchair. I think Bamford is a good player, but that he isn't necessarily an ideal fit for the role he's been given. He's great at holding up the ball and his vision seems good. But his striker's instincts seem a little lacking sometimes. I think he needs a second striker playing with him - I imagine he'd look fabulous with a Rod Wallace type playing alongside him.

Against ten men we all felt that our style of play would mean that the chances would come and goals would follow, and what a goal the first one was. Bamford intercepted a pass took at touch to get it onto his left foot and that from just outside the area he hammered it into the top corner - we had a great view as it flew towards us only being stopped by the goal net - what a cracker and what a way for Bamford to get his scoring back on track We felt that one goal would be enough but wanted the second to make sure - we nearly got it when Bamford fed Ayling but his shot grazed the post. Then almost in slow motion Klich got the ball in the area and chipped it to the unmarked Bamford whose header from outside the 6yd area looped over the keeper 2-0 and game over. We should have gone for it and tried to get our goal difference to match Sheffields but we seemed content to keep the ball and see the game out - Bamford could, should?, have had his hat trick when he was through clear on goal but took his time and the defender got back to make a challenge. We never looked like conceding but we did give away a number of free kicks in dangerous positions and that was the only way you could see them getting back into it So a very important win - we needed it and got it - puts the pressure on Sheff U for tonights game when hopefully Monk will get his team to do us a favour The kind guard on the train threw all the young and noisy Leeds fans out of first class but let me and my mate stay there because "you are behaving and being nice" - he even brought us (and some other fans he allowed in) a free bottle of water - result So come on Brum tonight and then roll on Saturday - we will know what we need to do v a resurgent Sheff Wed who have a small chance of making the play offs - something we achieved last night, so whatever happens a successful season.

He was a joy to watch and when he plays like this you wonder what he is doing in this Division. How we have missed him especially at home when faced with a team who pack the defence and come for a draw. The other returnee, Kemar Roofe, also proved , yet again, that he is a centre forward not a winger, and when he is allowed to play up top he gets results, this time a lovely timed header when he got between the 2 defenders and met a brilliant cross by Pablo - the finish very similar to the goal v Derby (?) He buzzed around and caused them problems all evening. Everyone played their part last night, with all 3 subs also doing well. Dallas showed what he can still offer something going forward and had one attempt just wide and one lovely run when he actually took on and beat two defenders. Pearce showed that he does still have a future- like the rest of us he must have wondered why he did not get the nod ahead of Dallas when Douglas got injured. Forshaw fitted into the system as if he was born into it and also went close with a rasping drive, he replaced the slightly subdued Saiz and kept the ball moving with little Batty-esque type passing and interceptions. We could have had a hatful with Alisoki coming closest to adding to the total with a great run and shot that came back from the inside of the post - he was another player who was back to his best last night , with a cross in the first half nearly causing a goal as the keeper could only parry it back into the danger zone. The second goal and the one that eased all our tension off the pitch and led to total capitulation from Ipswich on it, was brilliant and well worked - a short corner came back to Pablo and his cross was superbly dummied by Phillips(?) and fell to Cooper who side footed it with his right from the edge of the box - yes League -One Liam as some call him finsihed with real skill and aplomb. That ended the game as a contest (if it ever was, since all they managed was one easily saved header in the first half and were almost gifted a goal by Ayling right at the death) and it became almost a procession of us coming forward and having pot shots and scrambles - their keeper was their man of the match (and beaten only by Pablo for THE MoM) It was a perfect response to the Blackburn defeat - a bit worrying that Berardi went off , presumably injured but with Bielsa, who knows it could have been tactical. Bielsa again used his subs wisely and excitingly making a double sub with over 30mins to go and no more cards to play. I love the way he re-acts to what is happening on the pitch - some managers seem to pre-plan the sub one striker for another on 60 mins every game or making no subs at all until time wasting at the end of a game. With other results going our way this week - Boro being held at home by Rotherham and West Brom getting hammered at home by Derby means 'we are top'the league, say we are top'the league' - these results confirming what we already knew , this League is totally competitive and any result is possible in any match. This also elevates our performance and result last night - Man City v Cardiff or whoever is top and bottom of the Prem is pretty much a nailed on home win, that is not the case in the Championship (look at Birmingham turning us over when we were top and they were bottom or next to bottom) so beating Ipswich whilst expected was in no way a foregone conclusion and we needed to be at or near our best to do it, and that is what we were, back to our best So onwards and upwards - with Forest to come Saturday evening - we will know by kick o

Re: [LU] Bielsa
I hear what you're saying, but it's my opinion that a good team will always impose their style of play on the opposition. Sure, they may tinker with minor aspects, or a player or two here and there, but they should generally do what they do and let the opposition worry about them. Going into each game thinking about how to combat the opposition strengths more than how to impose your own is what weak teams do. I don't think teams win championships doing that. So I for one applaud Bielsa's attitude. I think it is what got us a draw the other night, and I think it will instil a belief in the team that they can get results, home or away. I do agree though that he needs to find a way to keep the team playing the way he wants them to without relying so much on Saiz. Because shutting him down (and frustrating him in the process, so he gets petulant and booked etc.) was what caused us the most problems last year, and without him operating freely we will struggle to be as effective.

Not sure I 100% agree with this Crespo story - I (as a parent and cub leader) see nothing wrong with telling a youngster something that is not true if it helps them in their development etc - surely part of being a manager is knowing when to 'big someone up and when to pull them down a peg or two' - instilling belief is not a bad thing even if you have to lie / exaggerate a bit) I do get the meaning behind the story - a manager cannot tell a team how to play and tell them this is the best way and then change it when the game is going against them -but I am not sure he is correct, surely there is an argument for 'horses for courses' and on occasion adapting your method to cope with the opposition ? I do have faith in MB and to be honest the early games have been great to watch , even Swansea when we never really hit the heights was excellent at times but I worry what will happen if we cannot impose our style on other teams . Various things went wrong last season - having a rubbish keeper and the defence losing confidence in him, injury to ayling, Saiz being banned, not having a reliable goal scorer etc BUT one of the main things was being 'found out'/ being bullied by the likes of Millwall and Cardiff - will this side be able to stand up to teams like that ? Coming from behind twice at Swansea is a good start but it is very early days Anyway lets hope we can continue our early season form - Norwich away and Middlesboro at home are both difficult games (not that many look easy on paper in this Division) - so 4 or 6 points would be amazing. I expected us to have 4* or 5 points rather than the 10 we have so it has been a great start (fancied a point v Stoke with it being first game at home v a relegated team, 0pts at Derby, 3 at home to Rotherham, and 0 or maybe 1 v Swansea) Dave ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE

Two boys in my squad. First one is 25, so was already around when I joined the list in the mid-90's. Youngest is now 20. Both are Leeds fans, despite growing up in Dublin and generally being the only ones in their classes at school. Both have been to a few games with me over the years, but neither are that invested to be honest - the youngest hasn't really any interest in sport and the eldest is obsessed with American Football (as am I, to be fair).

Re: [LU] Bolton - a few thoughts
You can’t base everything on stats, but for what it’s worth our stats show that our pass accuracy over the past several years is pretty stable at around 74%. Our average in the first two games was 73.6%, so basically the same. No stats for last night, but I suspect it would be slightly less, if anything. For comparison, the better Premier League teams generally run well into the 80’s. I suspect that Bielsa will want us to at least improve on previous seasons.

Re: [LU] Heckingbottom surprised at sacking rumours
The smoke has well and truly cleared and the mirrors have been smashed. I saw a table yesterday that listed Championship clubs by the ratio of wages to turnover. Out of all the clubs in the division (except Barnsley, for whom the figures weren't available) Leeds were bottom with 61%. 13 clubs had higher wage bills than turnover, with Blackburn topping the madness list at 147%. Now, putting aside the fiscal advisability of paying more than you make, and given that we must surely have one of the highest turnovers in the league, one has to ask how we can ever compete with our apparent "spend nowt and hope" attitude. Where is that other 39% of turnover going?

Re: [LU] Saiz
Apart from the petulance, Saiz has been about the only thing to admire about us all season. The 6 games he missed mean we don't even have to imagine how appalling things would be without him. Also, I think Alioski is a decent player - but only when Saiz is playing.

He has to find a combination and formation that gets the best out of all of them. As has been mentioned before, Only Jannson, Forshaw, Saiz and Hernandez (+ Ayling injured) look capable of performing well enough on a regular basis. To be fair to Berardi, he is steady enough and even the much-maligned Cooper is less error-prone than last year. Of the others, I believe that Lasogga, Roofe, Alioski, Dallas, Vieira, Phillips, O'Kane all have something to offer. The problem is that they either have more flaws than attributes or are just so inconsistent as to be unreliable. Heck has to work out where/how to play them, to maximise their strengths and hide their weaknesses. Then work out what the f*** to do about the left-back and goalkeeper positions, because Wiedwald and De Bock are too error prone to even make it into the group above. If 5 of the 7 in that group play at their best we can beat Wolves. If none do, we'll get hammered. KOT.

Re: [LU] 3 nil defeat
Couldn't agree more about midfielders. And especially about Batts (my favourite Leeds player).

I've spent over 40 years watching Leeds week in week out so I like to think I've got the measure of most players I watch. Most players can be gauged within 4-5 games but I'd say the exception to this is the centre back position and strikers. I've seen players arrive at Leeds who look like a fish out of water. Chris Fairclough, Peter Haddock and Rio were all awful on their debuts and first few appearances but all turned out to be good signings ( not sure Rio lived up to his fee?). In terms of strikers they tend to be rated until they come to Leeds - Keith Edwards, Jim Melrose, Derek Parlane, George McCluskey, Noel Hunt, Barn door Billy Painter, Darren Huckerby, Ian Rush to name a few. But midfielders just stand out. They just need to make themselves available, take the ball, and give it to someone. Easy ? No. David Batty was the best I've ever seen at this. He is everything I've ever loved about football. Such simplicity but brilliantly effective in making a team tick. Olivier Dacourt was also good at this but he added a driving ability which allowed him to be more attacking. Both truly great midfielders. O'Kane has no awareness. Watch him when he gets the ball. He's head down , one dimensional. It's either a pass backward or he just motors forward with no real intention. Batty was ultra aware of his team mates. He got the ball, looked up and passed but then looked how he can help. He was the cog at the heart of the machine. It's a shame that O'Kane will never be able to perform at even 25% effectiveness of David Batty , but that's why Bournemouth let him go ! We are Leeds!

Re: [LU] another new crest / badge
I don't have too much of a problem with the salute. But the badge is awful - like an MLS badge, or a kids' team. But, someone put it quite eloquently on Twitter - saying that the salute is an unspoken thing between Leeds fans. Like a masonic handshake or whatever. If you know about it, you know about it.
