Why is Bielsa regarded as the best strategic tactician in football? he is so highly rated for that everywhere, but why?

Also, if he is that brilliant, why has he not been very successful? at least in the past 10 yrs...

is it that he is unlucky or what?

I think it's more of his influence.

Here's a video worth watching on him.

I already alluded to this above. But hey, this is GL and you've been around long enough to know that people will knee-jerk anyway

Apparently, Werner has a dead leg and might not start the next match.

Nah I think Werner will start. He'll want to prove that Liverpool should have bought him.

Puli will probably miss it. Ziyech may be back and Kovacic will be back, so I think we'll be better than against Brighton.

Tbh I'm glad we're playing you away at the start.

I'm not, I'd rather play you lot in late October once we've settled a bit.

If you saw Pool play Leeds, you'd've seen how unsettled they themsleves are :coffee:

No point judging Chelsea this early and without key players tf.

And Havertz looked terrible. Not that it says anything bjt any big occasion for him he seems to be anonymous brits a great defence or a huge moment. I am sure he will improve once he adapts. Werner looked promising though

Yep. They look so out of sync with each other. Looks like they will take some time to settle. Now was the best time to play Chelsea. Good for you guys. Would fancy a Pool win.

James's performance is being so over-hyped in the media lol

can't wait for you all to applaud me when Chelsea finishes outside the top 4 this season, because i seem to be the only one calling it

The rest of us probably don't want to jinx them into the top 4, maybe?

What a goal by Diangana who is in my fantasy team but on the bench so ffs

great goal though

Everton just let him run through Laughing

by rincon Sat Sep 19, 2020 1:19 pm

Totally deserved by Everton, they look good

by rincon Sat Sep 19, 2020 1:20 pm

Gibbs wtf just killing his teams chances like that

by Hapless_Hans Sat Sep 19, 2020 1:23 pm

lmao what a melt down

Gibbs letting his team down massively

then Bilic is idiot enough to get himself sent off

absolutely unacceptable stuff from Gibbs, clear red, if I was his manager I'd throw him out for a while

positive they finish above arsenal this season

Decent lineup

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2020 2:08 pm

James is a joy to watch. Helps how the entire team is built around him

as long as El Delusional keeps posting on this forum, Arsenal are winning the title this season Laughing

by Firenze Sat Sep 19, 2020 2:14 pm

although over the last few years I've often looked at Everton and thought they should achieve more

but you can't deny they look decent on paper, I think they'll be competitive with arsenal and spurs at least

One of my favorite players to watch. I'm glad he managed to reunite with Carlo.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Sep 19, 2020 4:25 pm

I've been trying to watch Leeds for the past hour but in the US they force you to stream it via peacock, which keeps crashing on me

I don't understand why the US can't get it's shit together. Even when I'm willing to pay I can't get access to this.

Anyways 4-2, seems like penalties will be the bane of Leeds' season

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Sep 19, 2020 4:38 pm

From 3-1 to 4-3 Laughing

Most entertaining team to watch this year

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2020 5:12 pm

leeds are going straight down if they defend like this

Wrong thinking

Paco Jemez logic >>> "defense first!", in terms of avoiding relegation

let's not forget that 2 wins and 3 losses in 5 games is better than 5 draws

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2020 5:39 pm

TOWNSENDDDDDDDDDDDD

1-0 Palace
