Goal difference taken a beating now (on -30)
Didn't some pick him as the manager of the year?But he sticks to his tactics don't forget that. He doesn't adapt to his opponents
All the praises this **** was getting a year ago.
Mindblowing
I don't think loosing to Liverpool 6-0 or Spurs 5-0 helps them for shit against mid table teams.Bielsa's viewpoint is fairly simple: there's no point in adapting his style of play against the top teams in order to lose games with a better goal difference. That 720 or more minutes of playing their usual style in competitive matches against better sides will stand to them when they play teams from the bottom half even if they have to endure some spankings. It's smart if anything.
I mean he's got an appalling squad and is missing a few of his most important players. Finishing high in the table last year was impressive. If he keeps them up this year it will be impressive too.
It's a training exercise. The more you play in a certain way the better you become in playing in that way. If he's constantly changing his approach then his team are less fluent in the way that they should play and will lose to the teams around them.I don't think loosing to Liverpool 6-0 or Spurs 5-0 helps them for shit against mid table teams.
If anything it destroys their morale, point wise it may be the same to lose by 1 or 7 goals, but imagine the environment in that dress room, getting spanked over and over again against top teams.
Surely you may want to go out and be brave, but after conceding 2-3 goals it's game over, lock down the shop and concentrate on damage control. But Bielsa? Feck nah bro, let's keep going let's attack and leave spaces in the back for the full 90....it's poetic and naive.
I think the gain of those "training exercises" its not enough for the humiliation they get.It's a training exercise. The more you play in a certain way the better you become in playing in that way.

He has the choice of either losing to the top sides and also losing to the lesser sides or losing badly to the top sides but punching above their weight against the rest of the league. The latter is what he did last year and it's what they're doing this year. The only difference is that they have been very unlucky with injuries this year so they haven't been able to beat the lesser teams as regularly as they did last year. They don't have anyone capable of scoring when Bamford is out and missing Phillips for as long as they have means that their midfield is really poor.
Rumour is he’s gone and it will be announced tomorrow.

The squad being appaling is of his own making. He signed Firpo for 15m and Dan James for around 30?Bielsa's viewpoint is fairly simple: there's no point in adapting his style of play against the top teams in order to lose games with a better goal difference.

Leeds have done nothing for decades and he quicky got them into prem playing excellent football. Then finished top 10 last season. This season simply not good enough but overall that's a pretty good body of work for someone with no experience of english football when he turned up in summer 2018.Why was he ever so rated?
Won feck all and managed shit clubs, not dissimilar to our Ralf.
I think he does understand English. Just isn't confident enough to do an interview in it. You can tell when he answers in Spanish very quickly after a question is being posed to him, and before the (english) question has been translated.I think it's disrespectful when someone comes to live in England for nearly 4 years and doesn't learn the language, It's said to be the easiest language to learn in the world. (I also think English people who move abroad are disrespectful if they don't learn the language too)
I remember when Pochettino had a translator for sooo long that fans used to say he could actually speak good English!
Marcelo Bielsa always freaks me out, one minute he sits there on the touch line like a loner either on a stool or crouched down, the next minute he marches up and down, always struck me as looking like someone whose fidgety like he's having withdrawals.
He reminds me of Maurizio Sarri with his cigarettes
The question is, why? The first thing Leeds need to ensure is that they improve the defense and don't concede so many goals. Marsch is terrible in that aspect. His RB Leipzig at the start of the season was playing like Leeds, with better players.Jesse Marsch in

Who said this? I'm surrounded by non native English speaking immigrants and they all tell me English is very hard to learn.

He overachieved with the squad he has. Bamford's injury cost him the job. He is an excellent coach given what he did with Leeds United. Everton's wage bill is 4.5x higher than Leeds United. Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips, and Liam Cooper are the backbone of his team and they are all injured.Was it Pep who said Bielsa is the best manager in the world?
I have to agree with this. Marsch seems to be married to the high-energy, high-line RB-style, which is why he was sacked at Leipzig as they transistioned to a more possesion-orientated style under Nagelsmann.The question is, why?

The only manager of a team that made us look decent
