Saw the highlights if this game come up on my facebook video feed..

very Bielsa, do miss those days...

I'd take him in a heartbeat. His so called problems were an exaggeration.

Losing 5/6/7 nil isn't exaggerating. Id still have him back as we've regressed since he left.

Odds of 30-1 Uruguay worth a bet at the next world cup.

Last four at least I think. Might look at that if I can get it.

In a heartbeat

I said at the time, if the players returning to Marsch's team when they did, if they'd returned for Bielsa he would have kept us up, and I still think that!..

A shame he was shown the door, the closest we've come to him sinse he went is Farke, but that's all down to too many injuries at the wrong time, and that could happen to any coach at any time!..

I'd have him back but I wouldn't have thrown him out!..

But I would like to mention, Bielsaball, we haven't had as many or as bad injuries as we had sinse he left!..

Should never have left.

Got Nunez looking prime time

Yeah yeah, all the usual numptys wanting Bielsa back, conveniently forgetting the trouncings we received week in week out.

A few trouncings put up against the best football we played in decades. Only a numpty would be too embarrassed by some lopsided loses to see that Bielsa would have kept us up and probably not got us relegated the next year.

We'll never know, we may have gone down and continued like Lowfield says to take the same trouncings but sacking a demi-god did the club's soul no good and you cannot argue that Marsch was the right replacement.
Bielsa would probably have left at the end of the season in any case so this argument about keeping him is entirely irrelevant.
I don't think we invested to build a team that reflected a Bielsa team and that's where Radrizanni and Orta went wrong.

Would I take him back now, oh yes.

I would take him back after he’d taken a course in defensive tactics…I’d want to see his certificate he had finished the course.

Take him back in a heartbeat

Can't fault him for failing with Ortas awful signings.

He was too honourable to challenge Ortas signings.

"Bielsa would probably have left at the end of the season in any case so this argument about keeping him is entirely irrelevant.

But would he have left?..

Even if he would have, the chances were greater that he'd have left his replacement with a team in the Premiership!..

As for the numpty Queen, does it really matter what Leeds United do, because he'd find something to satisfy his needs no matter what they do!..

Would have him back in a heartbeat. Totally heartbreaking when he left.

Don’t care about the heavy defeats we suffered under him. That was always likely to have been a short term situation which the maestro would have corrected given time.

But above all, the club had a soul and identity which so many of us identified with. It was the best time to be a Leeds fan for years. I genuinely didn’t care what other fans said about us, we knew we had someone special and everyone else could “jog on”.

The moment Stuey Dallas missed that one-on-one against Spurs in that 4-0 home loss, I knew Bielsa had to go. It's like the moment when your beloved spaniel takes his last visit to the vet. As much as it hurts, it has to be done. It was over then, it is still over now. We have another spaniel.

The way people go on about heavy loses, when Bielsa came to us it was known that his style of play would invite them, he even said his aim was to score one more than the opponent!..

Goals against never really bothered him!..

Funny, but when it worked it was magic, and it did bring something that's been missing for a long time around Elland Road back!..

It brought the fans back together, or should I say for the numpty Queen and one or two others, it brought most back together!..

The signings were the issue. He made a bang average championship team into a PL team. We should have built on that but Orta made some right shockers. Did we actually sign anyone decent when we were promoted?

Sorry i forgot Raphinha. Thats it though really isnt it?

“Goals against, never really bothered him!…”

Yeah I noticed that too!!

And 7 — 6 score lines in our favour was never realistic was it Germany?

"And 7 — 6 score lines in our favour was never realistic was it Germany?"

And outside of penalty shoot outs you don't see them either!..
