I can understand the Alioski out reasoning but who takes his place. Saiz not a wide player imo and Clarke better from the bench at this moment in time.
In his defense he does help our defensively and I bet Douglas likes playing behind him .
Any idea lads? Harrison?

28 Nov 2018 21:23:06
i hate aloski for what he did, it is uncalled for and unfogivable. Sadly we don't have a replacement, clarke has some great aspects but looks like 45 mins is his level and he is young and still learning

I was speaking to a scout at spurs who thinks saiz is our main man and we must build a team around him like spurs do erikson.

i wonder if a change of formation is due with douglas and aling/ dallas as wing backs and saiz playing through the middle?

28 Nov 2018 21:27:51
It's a fair point Cork, but his main inclusion in the team is supposedly for his attacking potential. Regarding Harrison when he does get another chance he needs to have more influence than he has done on his previous appearances. We could do with our loan men upping their game like some of our rivals loanees are doing.

Personally Berm I’d take Bielsa opinion over a spurs scout.
I always thought Bamford could be good on the left cutting in.

29 Nov 2018 01:19:11
true but you must admit he makes a good point, saiz is out best player and maybe one of the best in the league do we build around him or persist with wingers who are poor or simply not doing it at the moment?

29 Nov 2018 08:25:08
Dallas.

29 Nov 2018 09:10:52
An on form Saiz is our best creative player but we miss Hernandez more as he’s more consistent.

I’d also trust MB to utilise his players best

Not hard being a scout btw.

29 Nov 2018 09:39:31
not hard to be a top scout for one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the country? he was a main guy and not some one who pointed out a player on hackney marshes

i am starting to feel sorry for agents and think they are worth their fees as been trying to negotiate a move for KP and had no luck what so ever! still god does love a tryer!

29 Nov 2018 10:23:35
Ayling has 3 goals and 3 assists so far this season. That’s not a bad return really. Keep him in.

29 Nov 2018 13:52:23
agree alf his form has not been as great as last year but he is still one of our better players and maybe still my fav player at the club.

28 Nov 2018 14:28:39
What the past few months have shown to me is the need for implicit faith in Marcelo and his team. Faith that his line ups no matter how questionable on paper are made for a reason and set up to get a job done Faith that his x-ray vision can see inside a player and decide if he can make it. Even if at first sight question marks hover. Faith that he truly knows the potential of each player and therefore the strength, in depth, of the squad and Faith that should he spend it will be, not just for spendings' sake and whoever comes in (at whatever price) will be a missing piece of the jigsaw and an obvious enhancement to the cause.

Nice post, I fully agree :)

28 Nov 2018 20:30:06
My favorite post of the year Leodis!

29 Nov 2018 09:12:29
Amen

Also like to add that the club seem to agree in his long term vision for our return to glory

Solutions from within

Love it.

why is Clarke's fitness so poor? has he been out injured or something?

28 Nov 2018 14:16:00
Yeh at times he made a really good run then the cammera caught him red faced, gasping for air unable to summon up an ounce of strength. The lad has all the skill and bravery we need but the fitness guys need to work on him considerably over the coming months. Maybe his mum needs to slip in an extra Weetabix for his school dinners?

28 Nov 2018 14:52:08
I’ve mentioned this in my posts about the under 23s before. When he played a full game he looked absolutely wrecked. Also at first he wasn’t tracking back as much as Bielsa would want. Now he is tracking back more and playing at a higher level, his fitness needs to be better. Just needs building up to 90 mins at this level. I like the idea of using him for a half, particularly when the other team is tiring. We have another players to be able to rotate with him.

28 Nov 2018 18:58:29
The lad needs more Yorkshire puddings down him, didn't hurt Yeboah :)

29 Nov 2018 09:14:03
He’s still a young lad

Wait till he’s 22/ 23

Then we will have some player.

28 Nov 2018 10:27:12
Allioski and Baker poor last night, still don't think we are playin our best but we are getting results which counts, can only get stronger, I've questioned our keeper in the past, hats off to the lad for last night, maybe MB threat to drop him made him pull his socks up, hard Saturday but they won't put 10 men behind the ball.

29 Nov 2018 09:15:16
Baker needs a run of games really to get up to speed

He will get there.

28 Nov 2018 09:56:23
Got me tickets boys.
Man United v Leeds here I come.
General public sale starts tomorrow chaps.
Gonna rip the old sly ones apart I reckon. I'm pumped. Only 8 months to go!

28 Nov 2018 10:28:23
Got mine on pre sale Ausman. 79 bucks in the away supporters section. How good would it be watching 2 premiership teams buddy.

28 Nov 2018 12:04:20
What section mate? I’m in 305?

28 Nov 2018 21:57:40
107 Aus, away supporters, Man U the home team.

28 Nov 2018 23:04:27
I’m just above you then. I’m in Leeds end!

28 Nov 2018 08:40:53
So over the past 4 days we have won two games, not conceded a goal and seen the likes of KP, BP-F, Halme, Clarke, Huffer and Shackleton all play their parts.
The MB influence is there for all to see and I for one am genuinely excited for our club's future. We could quite easily ditch the loanees and cope. These young lads do not look out of place and are all playing in a system that will only see them get better and better. There will undoubtedly be hiccups along the way like B P-F against WBA but I for one will put up with that because the bigger picture is that once we get into the Premiership we will be able to cope. As a life long supporter I would much rather see these youngsters, mistakes and all than go back to seeing the likes of Ryan Hall, David Norris, Paddy Kenny, Lloyd Sam etc etc in a Leeds shirt.

For me, one of the key moves Bielsa made this year is to link up Carlos Corberan with the first team. Immediately he made use of his knowledge of the club and players, he can communicate in Bielsas language, important for the nuances and we have a pathway between the two squads.

The club has integrated its playing talent and we have a lot more players at the disposal of the first team coaches who understand the system.

There not going to be the finished article but neither are many of the first team players we have bought in the past. But they should have the energy, determination and desire to show what they can do.

Don’t slag off the kids without seeing what they can do. Bielsa pucks out the best to work with the first team but also knows he has others to fill gaps.

28 Nov 2018 13:09:29
Like BPF against West Brom? The whole team were awful its not right blaming one player.

28 Nov 2018 00:55:13
Good to see baker and Alioski withdrawn at half time. Well done Bielsa.
Still poohing around too much in defence with ball.
Have not got the firepower at the moment. And don't seem to have a player that can hit the ball hard. Too many mis hits when it matters.
Overall Well played though. Deserved the win. Great penalty save.

28 Nov 2018 13:20:36
Baker has failed to impress me thus far. I would rather play one of the younger lads and let him develop rather than a player from another club who isn't performing.
