You've got to love the man. A 3000-word Press Conference in infinite detail.

I wouldn't want any other Coach in the world in charge of our football team at the moment. Don't forget we have more points after 14 games than 14/15 promoted teams in the last 5 years.
(but I must admit I'll be watching our central defenders trying to cope with Wood & Barnes from behind the sofa. Actually, that's where I spend most of our games anyway....)

Love Bielsa. Not sure if I'd want to be stuck in a lift with him, though.

He'd take up a fair bit of space.

Excellent stuff. Unique character in football.
I said when I was watching it last Sunday. Right tactics wrong execution of them at crucial moments in the game.
I feel that the players will be chomping at the bit to get back out there and put it right. It'll be tough doing that with probably no fully fit senior centre backs but attacking wise I am sure the intent will be there.

If there's any coach in the world where questioning the style of play is futile it's Bielsa . He's not gunna change so it's just wasted energy from the media.
Coaches like Bielsa enrich the game. They should be celebrated regardless of the flaws in being so fanatical towards one style, football would be boring af if everyone was a pragmatist.

Strange how they never asked him that question after we stuffed the Toon 5-2

In Bielsa we trust.
I for one was dead proud that, even though we were getting tonked by none other than Man U, we were still attacking, heads up, trying as he said to at least diminish the humiliation.
I think the comparison with Keegan's Newcastle is way out, anyway...that was just kick and run for the most part, as I recall.

I have never ever seen a team, play when four goals behind with two minutes to go, play like, it was a knock out game and we needed a goal to save the tie.
I was sat stunned, how can any person, get humans to behave this way. It was remarkable.

Yeah. A few I know gave up watching at HT. They missed a team who never know when they are beaten, sticking to their belief in their manager and each other.
Great to watch and great to be a supporter of such a honest bunch of players and management.
We will take a few smacks this season but we will give a few out too. Sod the armchair “experts”, we will do it the Bielsa way!
On a side note we took delivery of three awesome Leeds shirts the day before yesterday. The home kit, the green away kit and the maroon third kit. All sent from my son in Thailand and all unbelievable in their quality and the fact that 12 months ago he would have struggled to explain to most of his Thai mates who Leeds United were. Now he can buy shirts anywhere at £7.50 a pop!

This is what happens when your players know you support them and won't throw them under the bus.
Lampard has a lot to learn.
