He worked out fripo is crap kept him out I don't know what more he can do.
    Meslier isn't an idiot, not by a long ways, but he was drilled with idiot tactics as a keeper. He isn't an outfield player, he doesn't have outfield player skills, but Bielsa seemed to think that he was capable of dancing past attacking players like so latter day defensive George Best. He can't, but he has been expected to, and the defensive line has worked on the same basis. He did the same last season, and it cost us, but because we were "up there" with the gods of the PL, it didn't matter so much when things went t1ts up, not so this season.

    As with so many other tactics, Bielsa knew how to get his GK to play one way, and one way only, "play out from the back", no matter how high the press, who the competition, whatever the game situation. As stupid then as it is now.

    Its like that analogy of seeing a group of girls out on a nightout and they're all 3s which makes the one 5 look like a 10 cos her mates are so rough looking.

    Bloody Greenwood, nothing against the kid but I never seen a player have less of an impact off the bench, the only time has been involved was by accident or finding himself with the easiest pass in the world to assist
