Popular Post The_Steve Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 Bielsa was ultimately their downfall. The Argentinan MoN - exhausted a tiny squad and never had a plan B. He was rightly sacked at the time and were very lucky they weren’t relegated then. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Bielsa has far more tactical nous than O'Neill but he is indeed very overrated (much like O'Neill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maqroll Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 Sticking with Marsch was their best option. They sign his January targets and then sack him in a fortnight. Idiotic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 Good to see Dem getting a change of career as a BBC sports correspondent Quote Leeds boss Sam Allardyce, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm disappoointed for the fans.

Agreed he had league 1 standard players who were going toe to toe with Liverpool (lost) and Man City (drew) in matches. They needed to sign premier league standard players in his second premier league season but I don’t think they recruited well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Leeds fans protesting against the owner who got them into the Premier League against all expectations... Idiots.

He didn't do enough to evolve the squad (did he have the financial backing to do so? Not sure), but he did a magnificent job to bring them up and keep them up first time round with a very limited set of players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Leicester scored the same number of goals as ourselves this season. If they could just have kept a few clean sheets they would have stayed up comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
