Blew up? They got promoted!

They were great, fair play a deserved easy win Bielsa is a fantastic coach, negated Jack really well. Sometimes you just accept the defeat and the fact you’ve been done fair and square and move on.
And if anyone was MOM for us last night it was Konza. Feels strange to say it in a 3-0 defeat but he was flawless, and kept going to the death.

Huge week for players and management to turn around that shit show of a performance in second half and prove to Southampton that it was a one off. I'd certainly be in favour of a high profile player or two being dropped as a result and a complete tactical overhaul of our midfield.

Oh and just because Jack didn’t make the pass last night - suddenly Southgate is right. What a load of utter bollocks.
It’s well documented how intense their fitness regime is under Bielsa. Double sessions same day I think.

The lockdown was as helpful for them as it was for us.I’m not too despondent. We had 3 great chances (Grealish x2 and Konsa) before their first goal, score any of those and it’s a different story. We just didn’t take our chances, they did, fair play to them, it happens.Agree with this. The last two seasons they had a post Xmas slump, one that dragged them into the play offs another they recovered from. If Something similar happens this season, the premier league as we all know from last year, can be brutal. So as well as they played last night and deserved winners as they were, there’s no guarantee Leeds won’t struggle later in the season.As an aside just watched that Grealish run again, pure class, but he has to play Watkins in at the right moment, there would of still been work to do but he was unmarked.

W6 D2 L1 of our last 9 league games, I wouldn't be panicking yet.

Double sessions same day I think.Have we ever had a manager doing double sesssions? Just curious. Pochettino went in at Spurs and starting doing it and they flew up the league pretty quickly.Drove past Bodymoor the other week and see they've changed the entrance so I assume fans can't watch training anymore or get autographs/selfies. Think I last went down in the final MON season and players were clocking off at 12.01pm.
