I don’t read football very well and don’t always pick up what players should and shouldn’t be doing, apart from the stark staring obvious.I’m not sure what alternative there was - any team could have lost against Leeds recent opponents but it is the way they lost which is unfathomable……….Bielsa’s apparent insistence on sticking to kamikaze tactics probably did for him. The reality is Leeds need to be picking up draws and the odd win to stay up and pragmatic football is a more assured way of achieving that,especially when there are a couple that are getting games at the moment due to injuries that look hopelessly out of their depth.
Bizarrely I have just watched the highlights from yesterday’s game and on another day Leeds might have scored four….but if you let four in you aren’t going to get many points. Also it is sad when you see players not doing the basics, hard to blame the manager for that - just watch the run from his own penalty area that the player who scored the first goal makes for a very vivid example in the first ten minutes, many more examples even in the brief highlights I watched.
Big Sam might be the man to keep them up…it wouldn’t be pretty but it may be necessary……
I would think Sam could keep them up and, quite possibly, Tony Pulis but I don’t think Leeds fans want to see them play rugby league.
