My blog thing has expired so: #lufc thread Why Leeds are Top 6: Bielsa. As significant to the change in English football as Arsene Wenger. Watching Arteta’s Atesenal one realises there are ones in Bielsa’s school and those still in the Dark Ages both sides though are 2nd tier
Arsenal in transition upwards, Manchester like the Titanic. Both sides,as mist do in the EPL play to not lose, Bielsa plays every game to win. Most sides therefore are rigid - the overloads we are used to as Leeds fans are glaring in their absence in other games.
Liverpool are established, City are City but not infallible and Chelsea spend lots and lots of money. Spurs will draw too many and either Wolves or Leicester will sustain a run@long enough but Leeds pose more of a threat than the last two. Leeds players never have a bad game.
Every #lufc player is so well drilled, so committed, of such character that he will consistently produce 7/10 performances or better. Leeds can win any game or indeed lose it. Therefore, logically, we might assume that the side will win half, lose half. That’s 54 points...
If one believes that Bielsa is the world’s best coach, trusts his judgement and has faith in that he knows what he’s doing, one might hope that we win more than we lose, edging towards 60points. If one overcomes ones pessimism being a Leeds fan and based on the evidence ...
One might even hope for 66points including those taken from them big 6’. Of course Leeds could lose games just as easily, that us the nature of risk and reward football. However, Harrison consistently shines, Costa has pace, Rodrigo class, Hernandez magic and Bamford a mission.
Leeds are a good side, a better side in the eyes of those outside the club than its own fans. We have disappointments grafted to our DNA, we have witnessed the process, the rest of the EPL see the results and are dreading playing us. Our fears can weigh down the side as much ..
As our presence can lift the in games like Wolves (possibly the best technical performance of the season and needing a goal) Our acclimatisation to the EPL is taking place under training ground conditions and we work harder than anyone else in the League. So: we can aspire to...
Top 6, perhaps top 4 but without pressure, for the first time in as long as I can remember. Leeds can enjoy their football, no ego, no gits, just a fine set of lads playing wonderful football once a week and enjoying going to work, even on Wednesdays.
