Everton v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Yes because you think you have the right to beat the top 6, but surely you can agree with a fully fit team Marcelo has worked wonders against the said top 6 that's fact?

You have the second lowest wage budget in league yet the way you're going on it's a crisis you aren't challenging for the title?

No I don't think we have the right to beat them, but losing 7-0, 6-2, 5-1, 4-1 etc is embarrassing and we put up no fight. Burnley are the worst team in the league, yet lost 1-0 to Liverpool. We will lose 5-0.

So you would trade Burnley the most turgid team in the league, park the bus route one.

Over Bielsa .

[SG90]

So you think the board would invest or sell key players to give this manager a platform to do better.

Because it's my understanding that Phillips turned down villa and other teams because of Marcelo?

Phillips turned down Villa because of his grandmother. He wanted to go, but she convinced him to stay.

The board wanted Rodrigo de Paul, Jonathan David, Donny van der Beek, Noa Lang, Matheus Cunha and Bielsa turned them all down, as apparently they weren't better than what we have.

No, you change tactics against these sides. We parked the bus at Man City and won 2-1.

That's over £100 mil worth of talent there.

You're chairman was happy with forshaw.

I don't believe Bielsa is the problem .

Summer is going to be a challenge if he stays or if he goes. A worn out ageing squad which could be without its two star players in KP and Rapha.

Would any new guy get assurances of squad strengthening? Three years of generally poor recruitment is going to take some thinking about. If we do lose our Crown Jewels who do we trust to spend the money?

Whatever happens it needs to start to happen as soon as the last whistle has blown.

Their is a time for pragmatism

It is never acceptable to make a game.easy for the opposition like we do at times.

That isn't OK.

Don't think anyone is suggesting we want to park the bus week in week out but there is a Happy medium on occasion.

You can't just attack attack attack and not adapt to your opponent ever, good managers adapt when necessary.

Bielsa prioritises running stats over anything else, it is not imo sensible to sign attacking players especially because they run a lot.

He isn't solely to blame for our awful recruitment and weak squad but he is atleast one of 3 to blame.

How did that go for Burnley today?

Bielsa wanted Forshaw too.

He is on £8m a year. This idea that we can only attract Pulis, Bruce or Fat Sam if he leaves is delusional. Especially as a PL club.

Lost 1-0 and have a much better GD than us. We will concede double figures against scum and Liverpool and the atmosphere will change.

Massive rebuild needed if we stay up.

Would Bielsa allow it if he stayed?

You surely must be another love child of Bielsa's or a psuedo Leeds fan. At the end of the day football is a results driven game, a business. Presently MB isn't justifying his 6mil plus pay cheque that's fact. No real time for sentiment in this industry as you well know with Steve Bruce. A call has to be made as some point, that's the modern day game.

[Johnboy1965]

No
That's why we need a change as soon as the season is over to get give the new manager time to rebuild.
At least 5 of the team that started yesterday need to go for us to stand any chance of survival next season- provided we stay up this year.

I would rather lose 1-0 than 5-0 but at least be still in the game until the final whistle as opposed to being out of it after 30 mins....this is the whole point. Same players, same tactics, ...you , me and most on here could set up a team and get a result against Leeds.

If you look at the last 3 games, Newcastle, Villa and Everton we should really have been hoping for at least four points. Six would have been excellent. We got one. After coming from 3-1 down.
Three goals scored and seven conceded.
That is relegation form and by the time the next three games are done we could well be in the bottom three.
Worrying times.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Think his stubbornness, reluctance to change from his basic 2 formations are why he hasn't got really top jobs or won more

You must be if you keep visiting this site. Isn't there enough to keep you occupied on the barcode's forums.
