[QUOTE=Tichi1;39579812][QUOTE=WTF11;39577803]Ok, so I was one if those who suggested we would struggle to survive, and was proved completely wrong by the performance against Liverpool, where essentially we played the same players as got us promotion. Dont think anyone would criticise the players (and I made a comment about neither Koch nor Rodrigo having had any chance to "acclimatise" to the way Bielsa wants the team to play, so hardly surprising they both looked ike fish out of water).

And here we have it, good lad WTF for appologising for getting it completely wrong again!
I've got a granddaughter who keeps getting things wrong, but her appology and winning smile usually gets her out of trouble, but then she is just five - you on the other hand .....
I don't have a winning smile.

Be interesting to see how many of those who thought Casilla was the next big thing, or that JKA was "a nice bit of business" would be willing to acknowledge their own misjudgements.

(And for good measure, I was wrong about the players who got us promotion, for all the good that Rodrigo and Koch did (both conceding penalties and woeful defending from Kich for the v Dyke goal), we may as well have been playing with 9 men).

Said elsewhere that playing both with next to no time to acclimatise (not that some thought that "capped internationals" needed any), was nonesense and as far as my opinion of both goes, its unchanged. Neither has shone and neither has had that opportunity to acclimatise (I suspect the two are connected).
