Seen this post on fb and thought it was spot on:

The comments I'm reading about what people expect and what Bielsa should do is 💩💩.

Bielsa inherited a team that finished 14th in the championship and that team was terrible. Guess what, 6 of that terrible squad start most games for us this season - Cooper, Dallas, Alioski, Ayling, Philips and Klich. Without injury you could add Pablo to that list too.

Without Bielsa we would never be in the prem. The target for every single club coming into this league is to stay up and anything above 17th is a bonus.

We have been hammered with defensive injuries. Berardi probably would have played most games at CB this season and he was our 3rd choice last season before we signed 2 CBs. Struijk is struggling but he's still quite young and filling Philips boots is a mammoth task. I think Llorente has been brought in as a first choice CB but also backup for Philips when he misses a game. Llorente has played there before and has very similar traits to Philips.

We will lose games, we will continue to lose games and we are not a top 12 side in the league yet. I believe with a fully fit squad we will do more than just stay up but that still has to be the target. Bielsa and Orta will improve our squad and this will lead to players being better in 1v1 positions. After a few transfer windows, I believe we can challenge for top 10 but it won't be European football for another 3-5 seasons and I'm ok with that, especially after the last 16 years.

Well done Alf 👍.

Good post Alf -I was looking a few weeks ago at Bielsa Delivers, the Michael Gill book and compared the Championship team last year to those that are mid table this. Most weeks the starting line up has 8/ 9 of the same players. Not bad especially as one of the top performers White are missing.

I think we are in need of re-enforcements in this window. CB, DM LB and CF.

I do however have a few frustrations with MB for not rotating MK a little more

Whitey.
