Let's be clear, we play some sharp football in two thirds of the pitch but are quite poor in front of goal. Harrison and Bamford really struggle and need almost open goals to get the job done. I wonder why bielsa continues to start with them when he has Eddie and Costa on the bench.

On the other hand he might believe that they can only have the effect later in the game when the opposition is slowing down. We lost at Swansea and we could have easily dropped points today. Eddie and Costa made the difference. Hope they can do it from the start. If they can't we may struggle in too many games. Roberts might make a difference. Good win but too much of a struggle to be re assuring.

Maybe not as effective bringing bam bam and Harrison on as impact subs.

Yes paddy has 4 goals but 3 were tap in's, Continue the way we are going and Bielsa's stubbornness is going to cost us points as we have seen already forest + swans, Eddie is the more natural + Helder is the more skillful, yet both find themselves left on bench in place of inferior players . We all know the drill know Marcelo almost set your watch to timing of subs.
Why not make a total change and play 2 up top, let's see can Eddie get more out of paddy, gelder has to start.

CC Been banging the 4-4-2 drum for ages now, at least at home. Still think Bielsa's system away and bringing on the big guns last 20 minutes has its tactical merit for some but not all fixtures.
