They've lost their cult hero/legend in Bielsa. Bamford hasn't featured in what seems like ages, even if he got about 30 minutes today. The league has adjusted to them quite easily and they never adjusted, in addition to losing Bamford and Phillips for much of this season. And they didn't reinforce any of their weaknesses in terms of player quality or tactical tweaks.

Big scrap now with Everton, Burnley, Watford, and Norwich. Brentford have some work to do to be sucked into the relegation fight...but it's a hell of a fight with Everton & Leeds in it. Them two and Norwich have the worst form in the league, plus Brighton.

Looks like the most likely candidate for relegation between them, Burnley and Everton.

We completely demolished them.

Still if they beat Norwich they could be in decent place if Everton don't win v Wolves.

Can we throw £100m for Raphinha and Phillips if Leeds go down?

Even if they stay up they’re going down next season without serious improvement in the quality of the squad.

As much as I dislike them I must admit I'm envious of their players passion and commitment.

Puts our wasters to shame. Our players don't fight like that.

Their inclination to attack and inability to defend makes them a fun watch at least. Sooner have that in the league than Burnley's constant Burnleying or whatever.

Surely United have to go for Phillips this summer

Also is Jesse Marsch the guy Rangnick wanted as his assistant? Before he settled on the bald American guy

While I don’t care for Leeds it would be cool to see an American manager do well in the PL.

Also this. Teams like Burnley should be banished never to return

Also appreciated Ayling trying to do a cartwheel even though he clearly had no idea how, like a five year old dizzy on lemonade.

I still really hope that they survive. They make the Premier League far more interesting as far as I'm concerned

Also it's good to have a club that so many people dislike in the Premier League, ahead of one of the many 'boring' clubs that hardly anyone really cares about.

He himself laughed it off and said he tried to do the Robbie Keane celebration. It’s nice when the actual human in these players actually comes out, rather than the rehearsed PR post match bullshit.

RIP our free wins and McTominay looking like Bobby Charlton with hair a couple of times a year.

Leave the memories alone.

16 years to make it back to the Premier League. Gone in 2 (hopefully).

Glorious.

Leeds going down on GD would be so funny, nice legacy of Bielsa ball there.

Think his last four games he lost by combined score of 16-0.

Not sure if I’d rather Burnley or Leeds went. Sick of Burnley stinking the league up but don’t really want Raphinha to be playing in a good side.

Why would anyone on here want Burnley to stay up? They are easily one of the most negative teams to ever play in the premier league.

I reckon Leeds will get some kind of result against Brentford that keeps them up. Burnley getting a result against Newcastle isnt exactly a sure thing.

We will be well up for it on Sunday - doubt it will be one for the feint hearted in and outside the ground. As the famous perm once said “I’d absolutely love it if we beat them”
