Where are we going to finish?

I have every confidence in Bielsa, but I know that the Premiership is a different animal to the Championship.

Our team is skilful and hard-working, but some teams have 10 Pablos on the pitch and it will take some years of careful spending and development to get us up to that level, all the time whilst the top 6 clubs continue to buy up all the best players.

Despite that I've bet on us winning the Premiership as well as a bet on a top 6 finish because it's not inconceivable that MB will perform a minor miracle with our team, but with my realistic head on it's going to be tough going.

Whatever position Leeds United finish in this coming season, I will have nothing but admiration and appreciation for the job Bielsa has done in turning our club around and putting so many things right that were a complete mess.

I have the utmost faith in him and his tactics. I just worry about how our squad will compete against established Prem squads.

Liverpool is a free swing for us. Nobody expects us to even score. It's the hardest game in club football bar Bayern.

Remember our catchphrase at the start of last season?
BELIEVE!

Can we finish above Spurs please?

I had a bet with my Spurs ST holder neighbour about five years ago (after a few beers) that we would win the PL before them. I’d love it if we finish above them and he starts to wet himself.

Plus Jose is a prat!

really difficult one to predict this.

I'd take 17th now, but I know that I'd be disapointed if we did.

I'm expecting / hoping players like Costa to really come on this year.. he's got his first seson under his belt.. good continuity to go into another season with Beila and the same ish team around him. think the improvement upwards curve for the Costa's of our squad will be the diffrence between 17th and mid table.

Also, Paveda an interesting one..

happy with the signings so far and happy with squad / first team... going to predict 10th

8th

My view exactly. The only drawback I see is the reputation that precedes you, which will probably preclude any complacency on Liverpool's part.

All things considered, merely making it a contest ought to be taken as a positive sign for the rest of the season.

Really hoping you do well this season, Bielsa is such a character.

Stay up and I'll be happy, at this stage.

Its good looking around the internetty thing and seeing Klopp has respect for Leeds United!..

He's warning his players the game'll be harder then they'll be expecting!..

I'll say that Bielsa is one of the best trainers going, but I went on the Liverpool site when they got Klopp and said he is one of if not the best in the world!..

I saw how he was at Dortmund!..

I'm looking for a very good game with two of the best in the game plying their know how against each other, even though one side on paper should rip the other apart, there just might be a big upset waiting!..

Roll on Saturday!.

Absolutely mate, as long as we at the very least bloody their nose, I'll be happy.
