understand what you’re saying but if the Leeds player had arrived 2nd he would have been sent off so to me it was a yellow card. First yellow card for their forward was lenient anyway. Plus if causing an injury means a card, as it did when Struyk tackled Elliot in Liverpool game, he had to go. What doesn’t add up is how the keeper who took out Liverpools player the other day wasn’t carded.Thought the second yellow for the Wolves sending off was a little harsh. Both players went in for the ball and contacted together at same time with no difference. If it was to be a yellow then maybe for the Leeds player as well ?
The attacking side of a Bielsa team is still there the fighting spirit is still there. The man to man marking is not but we are still shocking defensively. If Marschs wants plaudits he needs to sort us defensively because despite defending differently at the moment the end results is no better than man to man.After watching that Wolves game you want to thank your lucky stars Bielsa's gone.
At 2-0 down I can guarantee Leeds would have lost by 4 or 5. And as for one of the commentators ( just after Leeds came back to 2-2) he said something on the lines of:
"You can see signs if the Bielsa side still in Leeds".
All's I can say he needs moving over to womens hockey or snowboarding because he knows absolute nothing about football what so ever.
Leeds although they are still conceding to me seem more organised and now ?, committed. No more bombin round man to man marking like headless chickens then getting picked off.
Their a different side altogether. Love Bielsa yes but be thankful he's gone or you'd be heading to the Championship faster than sh#t off a shovel but with Ted in charge you'll be fine
That is the role that Phillips plays so let’s hope he is back soon. He is always badly missed as he is the cover for the defenders and reads the game ahead of them.I'll stick by it, Leeds have a better chance of staying up without him than with him. He wasn't prepared to change which would have been him and Leeds's downfall.
Thing is, had they stuck with him he would have gone anyway had they took the drop so it was better he went before they did.
I think Leeds need to sort out the middle of the park. Teams who concede few always have that donkey work horse in the middle 1 or 2 players who's sole job is to be the first line of defense.
Usually hate international breaks but for once this break is a welcome one.Phillips should be back for the next game. He was on the bench at wolves but they made it clear they did not intend to use him. From what I read bamfords injury is not that bad either. I hope he will be ready too.
Do you think we will stick with Marsch mate ?I would be quite excited to see some of the youngsters given a chance next year - I agree we are likely to go down. We have some great talent - Bate, Summerville, Cresswell and the ones who have made first team debuts this season. Don’t like Dyche but he is a good manager.
