Some may remember that a Bielsa fav almost came to Leeds, Ezequiel Ponce on Elches bench tonight. He was at Newells Old Boys from 8yo and was born in Rosario like Bielsa so he watched his career. Roma signed him very early and Bielsa took him to Lille on loan….. still only 25 but has hardly been prolific since his time at AEK Athens
Bit harsh. Elche is an amazing story that they are even in la liga. A small area of the Valencia region, the biggest team in the area, bit like Essex competing with a London team in the premier league.
Well a half hour watched and to be honest I’ve enough. A load of garbage from our lot. Actually making elce look good. Winter break hasn’t done any favors it seems
Hard to watch us play in that changed strip and the opponents in white, I keep finding myself wanting to cheer the wrong team on
Now. It’s all about fitness… effectively pre-season friendly etc etc. But this is gash. Could be 3 down easily to the worst team in Spain.
If Jesse wants to show his players how to press, then he should make everyone watch that first half from Elche. Makes it pointless being a Leeds forward as they hardly see the so missing all half. Very very poor
I gave up after 5 mins. I saw forshaw was playing and wee jimmy go off. Then on came greenwood it seems we are missing our americans.
