I keep thinking the same, but it does seem like Bielsa has got them conditioned to play that way for 90 mins. I think that's the hardest I've seen an opposition team work in quite a while. They do seem to be picking up the majority of second balls and moving forward at real speed.I think Bielsa's sub was brilliant management. We all knew that lad looking at a second booking at some point, or his game was compromised at the very least. Not many managers would have the balls to make that change that early.
Another twenty minutes of that and Leeds are going to be fooked. Not too worried yet.

I expected that. I just hope we can go up a gear or two 2nd half. Biggest problem is we're losing the midfield, SJM and Luiz getting bypassed too often, that needs to change. We're okay but that won't be good enough tonight.
They've not had any significant chances though. It's what they did vs Wolves and in the second half Wolves started to up the tempo when Leeds got tired. I think we will do the same.

Harrison is a really decent winger

We're okay but that won't be good enough tonight.The problem in midfield is that they're not really using theirs in attack, as soon as they get the ball they have 2-3 players on each wing and we're not following them (which I'm sure is intentional). If we get a bit more control as I expect the game will change quickly.
Are tv commentators running a book on who can shove their tongues the furthest up Leeds’ arse.Yes, they are decent but fucking hell, they aren’t the second coming.
