Leeds United...come on down

[Joy_Division_Oven_Gloves]

Let’s hope the the honeymoon period is over

 

[Zoophonic]

Bielsa’s style of play does mean fatigue does step in with Leeds. The Covid induced break helped them last season when they were running out of steam

 

[Jedi boro]

5-1 now

 

[TeaCider]

Make that 6-1.

 

[Scubahood]

Sadly, I think they'll still have enough about them to stay up.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Make that 6-1.

Too many other bad teams in that league.

 

[Scubahood]

Like Norman said, there are too many poor teams who Leeds will pick up results against. Unfortunately.

 

[JM14]

Cant see it unfortunately, too many poor sides in the prem this year

 

[weststandwally]

Should stay up quite easily they are far better than most of the sides in the bottom half.They remind me of Keegan's
Newcastle,great to watch but can't defend.

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up being between wba and them for 18th spot .

Bielsa v big Sam , who would you feel would win a scrap at the bottom ?

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

Wouldn’t it be great though if we passed them on the way up

My Leeds mates gloating ‘we’re back where we belong’ I’d love to quote that back to him

 

[Frozen Horse]

Against them is the fact that Bielsa teams traditionally fade in the second half of the season.

In their favour, they don't seem to draw many. You can stay up with quite a few heavy defeats, so long as you're picking up a fair few Ws too. So far they have.

Bit of a fallacy that. Keegan's Newcastle had a decent defence. People talk as though every game was a 4-3 thriller.
In reality, 37 goals conceded in 95/96, 40 in 96/97.
Leeds have already conceded 30.

 

[HolgateCorner]

Unfortunately I think they will stay up because they can score goals so will get results against lower teams.

But if the goals dry up and the defence stays leaky then they will be in the running for the team that unexpectedly drops down.

It has to be said that for all the fuss about Bielsa, they do not look like a premier league team.

First season. Surely they just need to stay up then they can get more players in.
Look at the over paid has-beens Boro bought

 

[BiggEggo]

They have been found out. They will need a plan B if they are too avoid a relegation battle. Should be fun to watch Bielsa implode

Yes agree for our season with Karanka in the premier our recruitment was shocking, it was a good opportunity to have another spell in the top league wasted.

 

[Alzi]

Great to watch and go toe to toe regardless of who they are against. Yes they’ll lose quite a few but would you rather that or our approach last time we were in the PL?

They will stay up easily.

100% , we spunked away a fortune

 

[Davey_C]

Few injuries and you never know their bench isn't one of the strongest
