Leeds United - v - Aston Villa ***Matchday Thread***

[ozleeds]

I wouldn’t say it wasn’t working - the board didn’t offer him the players he wanted and didn’t reinforce and it was obvious where injuries were crippling us - look at what Newcastle did - bought players where they were weak.

A thin squad plus injuries meant Bielsa’s skills couldn’t overcome that but at least we were still creating chances.

Jesse Marsch we hoped would be a good replacement but it is like replacing champagne with flat water.

Nothing against Jesse Marsch but he simply isn’t the one. Whoever came up with that brain wave should resign.

My point was exactly why did they replace him with someone with no experience apart from Austria where there are only 2 teams, And with the same ideas mind you.
And if you haven't heard Orta is the main reason he is here as they were communicating for the last 2 years. He even said I was asked to come earlier but he told him I already have a job which ended in disaster.

What Rev said on his posts I agree with

When Phillips, raphina and others leave this summer I hope to god they take firpo and orta with them.

They panicked and didn’t think it through or look in the mirror.

Didn’t want to acknowledge it was their lack of investment. Forgot how good Bielsa was in fine tuning average players now he and his coaching team have gone they have regressed and we have a coach who is fairly inexperienced and knows sweet FA about English football.

Just want this season to be over, 10 games left, we need to win half of them, tonight was one of them, man city, Chelsea, arsenal still to play, we haven't got a cat in hells chance of staying up, Norwich, Watford and us down.

Out played and out sang this evening. They were much better. Firpo.....holy fk. Koch....no! Noone else worth mentioning. Oh, Rodrigo - feck off. Raphinha looked well pis5ed during game. At the end, the South Stand were giving him (then the team) some ****. He was first off pitch at end and took some stick for doing so. He was deflated. He did look like he cared during game, but passing was 5hite (as was teams passing). Mings is a bit of a unit. He took some 5hit and milked the win. We are ****ed. I picked a 5hite match and did not have sufficient booze to cope. The other sados are sitting in hotel bar saying how 5hite Jesse James is. Lol. If we don't beat Norwich, we're are down. Andrew has spoken. There's just no threat. Nothing. Every time Villa went forward, I 5hit my breeks. Anyway, I'm here with Totty, so talihoe peeps. Early night. (*insert face of deviant* - read for that 'Rev or Billy').

Tally-ho!

Ah ffs. Tried to edit a post with typo. Can't be ar5ed. Bottom line - we're fkd.

Norwich a Cup final now.. has to be the worst passing performance I've ever seen from a Leeds team, is that the players lack of confidence in themselves or their believe in the manager? The players need to look at themselves shocking lack of fight for the shirt, Bielsa proect was brilliant but had started to nosedive, this likeable guy.... reminds me of the salt and pepper fella
