Leeds United - v - West Ham United ***Matchday Thread***

[cherrypie7]

Its the first ever game that Bielsa has lost with Leeds after leading at half time.

Get rid of firpo now, he is a liability, whoever decided to let alioski go for this idiot wants shooting. Putanyone in his place, I mean anyone.

[WTF11]

I don't think I have EVER seen him make a tackle. There had to be a reason that Barcelona let him go and now we all know what that is.

But why do we continue (yes, to those reading, CONTINUE) to recruit crocks or duds (Raphina as a single bright star in the heavens isn't a good enough record in recruitment terms), just because their club is willing (surprise, surprise), to let them go?

[cherrypie7]

Its the first time Leeds have conceded a winner in the last minute or injury time in the Bielsa era. We have never lost a game with Bielsa in charge from a last min goal.
Coming back to Firpo, the good news - Bielsa must know that he is a defensive liability. Bad news is we don't have a solution. We let Leif Davis go. We let Alioski go. We let Barry Douglas go. We got Junior Firpo. He has been the cause of at least 4 goals this season.

Give it a rest - James, Rodrigo, Llorente and Koch are all good players. We also brought in Meslier and Struijk to the u23 and developed them.

A lot of people were having a pop at Alioski last season so a lot of revisionism going on.

Will give Firpo half a season before I write him off.

Because we praise Ortas efforts so much success. Even James looks like a waste of money anyhow such is life. Just pray we can stay up.

Alioski was going anyway for money James should come good but why did we need him when we have Raph and Harrison? For the money, a couple of midfielders would have been a better option. Your 2 mates have no hope also no hope for Liorente koch cross fingers.
Just my opinion ok lol

Brentford is giving it to Liverpool and if Brighton beats palace they go on top unreal.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

When we were in the championship you moaned that there was no plan and we wouldn’t go up.

There clearly is a plan and we are a work in progress and will be for a few years as we slowly but surely improve the squad.

I have also said we need more in midfield but Gallagher went to Palace by choice and O’Brien offers were rebuffed. We bought players to develop instead.

I would be delighted if we had a top quality squad but we don’t but the ambition is to get there.

Injuries and players off form haven’t mean we have at started with a whimper.

Glad we signed James when he became available he is a great addition and gives us depth.

We have what we have and no pout. Moaning about it. I will leave you to delight in our misfortune.

Try finding a single post from me where I
could be accused of "having a pop" at Alioski. He wasn't perfect but compared to Firpo it's a fine run thing.

Rodrigo can't hit a barn door with a banjo, Llorente had a record if injuries before he came to Leeds which he seems intent ion continuing and Koch appears to see Llorente as some bizarre role model.

You would give Firpo 20-odd games? I have no words to describe how that makes me feel.
