    Channel Cherry is now ready to predict that Leeds will acquire Juan Foyth (centre back) from Spurs. Channel Cherry also predicts that Leeds will purchase Joe Gelhardt (striker) from Wigan. 3rd prediction is that other than these acquisitions, no more transfer business will occur until the issue with JK Augustin is settled. Personally I hope he comes back to Leeds as he has an abundance of talent and skill. Lets see how wrong I am about everything!
    Bielsa's use of analytics is known - Below try's to explain what was achieved and also shows what kind of players we'll require to now recruit to fit in.

    Wow Thanks! I should have been working but devoured these statistics instead. Explains why Bielsa wants this Gelhadt kid even though so young. Explains why Bielsa was willing to part with Roofe. The one metric that I absolutely did not expect was that of Bailey Peacock-Farrell who appears to have been (in varying degrees) at fault for many of the opponents goals during his time as 1st team goalie. I have commented here that I thought his positioning for various set pieces was not great but that he did have genuine shotblocking skills. From these metrics it appears that he wasn't great from any sort of shots outside the box. I simply don't remember that.

    Mainly because there is no other option in the position he plays which is why we need to sign someone who can play the position and way he plays so we aren't going with just one option.

    Think that White is the key to ev rything. One player does not make a team but he is the cornerstone

    If anyone wants an interesting read - inverting the pyramid is very good and it deals with tactical evolution over the years!

    A Life of Marcelo Bielsa is out around £20 for an insight of the man.
