Funny how people like you like to adopt the modern social trend of labelling people who criticise the performance of others on a professional level of being ' haters. ' ' Hate ' is what is happening in Ukraine right now - so grow up.

Anyway, why are the Bielsa diehards in such a foul mood this evening ?

He's thriving now up front and is a lot more affective in the attacking midfield role in Marsch's system.
Yes, I guess that's true.

Do you roam the forum looking to pick arguments and get personal?

Could you not just enjoy a good result?

Tell you what, if you want to get personal, message me. Keep it off this thread. Let's keep this for the match. Good man.

Clearly you couldn't judging by your last post....Try reading what you wrote. or maybe read what Irish Ian wrote as well just before you pitched in with your contribution.

In case you have amnesia from 20 mins ago here it is again ;

Today was so good that posters who absolutely hated Rodrigo and Orta are now singing their praises! A remarkable u turn.

I agree YS - it's just that some of the Bielsa diehards seem to see me as a bit of a target - probably because I've been one of the most enthusiastic on here about the appointment of JM.

Still at it? Just let it go or, as I said, feel free to message me. Let's keep it off the forum, it must be boring for most posters.

And we have MOTD to enjoy!

From this moment I shall refrain from posting on General chat APART from the music threads as I'd hate to leave 64 in the lurch but pulling out of all the polls.
We agree on hardly anything and have had a few arguments over the years but I've always respected your opinion and your right to express it as everyone has the right to.

It would be a shame if you stopped expressing it.

Hopefully you reconsider.

He did very well today.

But it's a long season.

Our requirements shouldn't be allowed to change on a game by game basis.

Bloody typical. At a wedding all day and miss one of our best results in my lifetime! Kept nervously checking the score and then saw it was 2-0. Was worried it would be a repeat of last week. Taped the game, so can't wait to see it! :)

Paul your posts are excellent to read and you're hitting the nail on the head.

This has got to be the best performance to date and i fcking missed it pissed again, i'm waiting for a re run today hopefully.
It's hard to watch it in the pub with talking to folk and there was no commentary, everytime i did look up though Aaronson seemed to be the man.

Reading here it seems there's a helluva lot of things he got right to talk about, from the defence, the formation, the tactics, the attack, the substitutions, it starting to look like time to give credit where credit's due, but i'm going to give it for this match atm and not get carried away just yet.

If he fcked up at Soton, he certainly didn't fck up here, Paul you were spot on telling us he will go at them, great call, and i'm so happy he did, he's certainly gone up a notch for me, and these Yank players are starting to look good (maybe we should trust your eye more re - Mr Potatoe?)

You're certainly impressing me Paul with your calls, one Swallow doesn't make a summer and all that - but that's given me so much encouragement going forward, i really wish scum were next but it's BHA and yet another good test away.

Our fixture list is kind going forward and i'm really starting to think we're getting better and the fixture list will hopefully help that as we gel more as a team and squad of players that are waiting to get on the pitch.

There's no need to talk about KP, he wouldn't fit into this and these two seem to be understanding each other and the role of 2 DM's, which you know i don't like, but if it's working then fine.

The most enjoyable thing for me is seeing the players ALL up for it Rodrigo included, just to bring us back down to earth a little bit, Chelsea were weakened and definitely off their game compared to their Spurs game, but it doesn't matter we battered them.

I'm eagerly waiting to watch the game in it's entirety, but i'm hoping this is the turning point i've been waiting for, i honestly thought it could be a turning point for the better or could be a disastrous turning point for the worst this game, fingers crossed we're on the up, i am not getting too carried away just yet though but there's a lot to be happy about in that result and team performance.

Jesse seemed to definitely learn from Soton and that's great to see.

PS

Faaip don't be a soft numpty i love your posts, and these are only anonymous w**kers like me that you don't even know, just tell them to fck off and carry on.

My Richter scale has gone up to 3.5, i was thinking about a possible 4 but i don't want it to rise too fast just for it to come crashing down.

That role of the 2 DM's is looking more and more like 2 attacking DM's if you get what i mean, it's not a Mourinho park the bus DM's, it's a get on the attack when you can 2 DM's, he went 2 park the bus DM's and it fcked up, this looks like it was perfect.

I'm actually now looking forward to our next big challenge and Paul your past comments and analysis of Jesse and his style of what he will try and do is hopefully all coming good. You seem to spot on up to now Paul and i applaud you for that :clap: you've stuck to your guns from the start and that result is giving a lot of credence to everything you've said right from the start :tup:

I hope to fck i'm not getting too carried away here and we've still to find out how he'll react when we're getting given the runaround.

Right, hopefully i can find a re run, coz i wanna watch this defence you're all ranting abart, it sounds like their best game.

ATTACK!!! BEST FORM OF DEFENCE !!!
