    It's the Groundhog day that's getting to people,same results, same doing nothing new, same refusing to try other players. If you were a soldier, and attacked to a plan, got shot to pieces and had to retreat, the next day your officer says we are going to do it again, exactly the same plan, what would you say ? and that's what's happening, nothing different, nothing changed.
    Fat Frank, read us like a book, last season, played 3 lost 3 and not even close. Did he try the same 1 last time ? No he said we've nothing to lose we will change our team formation, nothing to lose, they won and Bielsa couldn't see how to change anything to deal with it.

    I think you're giving Pampered too much credit. We beat ourselves.

    We will never know, but we do know he took a gamble and made a change and won, we stuck with the same last 20 games, they kept saying stay with the team and we will do it, we'll the fans did but the team didn't.,and we've carried on doing the same now.

    Thanks, mate. Gave up after a while though. If we could only sell moron 'fans', we'd prolly have a big enough kitty to buy Messi. Then again, even if we did, the ones we didn't sell would break the internet complaining we'd signed 'another fcukin' midget'. <doh>

    This one came up on FB. Dunno how to find it on Twitter .....

    Just put it there to give an idea of a spread of views. Not saying who’s right or wrong but they are all Leeds fans so I respect all their views. Hell, you, chesh, jammy and 64 and others attend all matches. Nobody could question any of your support yet your four views are miles apart even though you watch all games live just from different seats

    After 30 games played, 2018/19 v 2019/20:

    * Same league position (2nd)
    * 2 points less this year
    * GD +3 this year
    * Team in 3rd is 3 points behind - same last year.
    * Of the remaining 48 available points, we only won 26 (Norwich won 37, Sheff U 34).

    So, 48 points still available, already in 2nd by 3 points - who would have accepted this if offered at the beginning of the season?

    How about in the middle of December, who would take 9 points, from the next nine games ?
    We've got 4th, 5th, and 6th next 3 games. I think if Bielsa sticks to the same team, it's the play offs and I will have lost confidence in him.

    Elland, respectfully,

    Every game shows Harrison trying to dribble all and sundry on a regular basis, majority of times he loses ball one way or another, this brings our attack to an abrupt halt.

    To acknowledge your stats, I've seen Harrisons assists, and I think only 3 are from first time crosses, which doesn't happen very often. I also remember applauding Harrison for a first time cross which led to a goal from edge of box. If memory serves, I also said let's hope Harrison learns about the rewards of first time crosses, which he obviously hasn't.

    Your stats say -6, I'm presuming you meant 6.......:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Pablo and Klich are further up field, that's closer to the opposing goal, Phillips is normally still in our half when he makes his, that's a big difference.

    Really?
    One we have just signed, one you say would be gone and the other two would probably be saleable for more than we paid for them.

    Ante Covic, Perth Glory goalkeeper " you have to be a little bit nuts to be a goalkeeper " our resident one, does nothing to dispel this.

    It would seem a lot of pennies are starting to drop regarding Bielsa.

    It's not pennies you're hearing, it's your loose screws falling out!

    He wouldn't have allowed the players on twitter in the first place and if he had, they'd have been well able to stand up for themselves. Imagine someone calling out Billy or Norman on twitter <doh><laugh>
