Can't believe it! Bielsa's just named the same team for tomorrow really. Is he watching what we're watching? Ayling needs to be replaced by Berardi - klich needs dropping for Shackleton. And Harrison just needs dropping on his head.
Sorry for the rant, he had to make changes and it's killing us.
28 Feb 2019 13:24:06
And why does he keep announcing the team so early?
I think he is a miracle worker with what he has done with this set of players and this club, but why, why, why does he give the opposition even the smallest edge is beyond me.
Also sorry for the rant, but I feel better now.

Ha ha.
U didn’t realise nothing would change?
Take the rose tints off lads.

Aus
What on earth does your post mean? Totally pointless.
All I questioned was one very specific point, and that was his recent habit of announcing the team earlier than necessary. What is your problem with that?
Ah well, hope it made you feel better.

Showing his faith in the players in a bad spell
Showing he trusts them to get us back on track
Nothing wrong with it
I’ve done it myself, that wasn’t good enough, go out and set the record straight
QPR would have been a different result if we had scored first
Very easy to sit sniping at players, some of us still believe we will be champions.

I’ll remind you of your faith tomorrow night woody when Ayling etc. have another mare.
28 Feb 2019 16:12:29
Aus, is just pointing out that he said it would be the same team! Well spotted Aus! This is Bielsa and his way and I think other Woody is right, I would hope that everybody who started the other night would be begging to get the shirt again on Friday to prove what they can do. Just would have liked an attacking alternative on the bench. This lineup very dependent on Bamford and Toberts having good games.

Spanish, how can you still justify a spot for Ayling.
He’s become a massive liability.

Not justifying anything Slough, even though you say it twice! I’m just saying why I think Bielsa does what he does. Don’t forget he is not afraid of subbed by someone quickly if it doesn’t work! Let’s see how he does!
28 Feb 2019 17:11:31
Oh how I hope you are right Spanish. There can be an argument for letting the same people right there wrongs but if they don't you have to be prepared to bite the bullet and make the changes. Sooner rather than later. Unfortunately some, being judged over more than one game, are walking a very fine line. Which is even more dangerous, for them, when there is such talent waiting in the wings.

Read the article on the BBC, or listen to the report on 5 live tonight. It’s the Bielsa way, and he sees it as the only way to embed his strategy and thinking into the DNA of the players, so that they think exactly lay as he wants them to. It’s really interesting.

Thanks Bright! Bielsa takes full responsibility for his approach! That’s what you get when you employ him. If he gets this team promoted he’ll get the credit for it, if he doesn’t he’ll take responsibility for it and probably go! Perhaps his view of Aylings performance isn’t the same as some on here!

As long as the players believe in themselves, matters not a jot what we think
However a packed ER backing their team will be a lot more effective than jumping on any error
Ayling will come good again
All form is temporary.
