For all of Bielsa's genius and preparation man can't figure out runs from the midfield. If McTominay and Matip are able to carve you up you should throw your graphs and diagrams in the trash :hubie:

It's embarrassing watching alnost the same game every time they play a top team. I get stick to your ideals or whatever but at least keep it steady before imposing your game. Just do something else :damn:

This Leeds team runs everyone into the ground, they just lack being more clinical in the final third. Raphinha sets up a lot of chances but playing alongside a poor man’s Kane in Bamford and an abomination in Rodrigo theyre a lost cause

Manes barber/hair care restorer doing him dirtier every week. This is Lebron level of incompetence.

Lmao looks like Mane took that trip to Turkey and as much as it gives you the fountain of youth hairwise, that surgery must take years off your life, which is why Lebron still athletic as hell and ballin’ and Mane is struggling :flabbynsick:

Towards the end of the season they seemed more disciplined. That's how they got those draws against Chelsea, Liverpool and us, as well as beating City.

But some reason Biesla went back to gung-ho football for the Utd game and got that work. :deadrose:

Nah, no way LeBron hasn't took the trip to turkey, figuratively speaking.

Bad pass by Jota led to Sadio missing the open net
The commentator said he didn't have to smash the pass but looking at the replay if he hit it any slower the goalkeeper or defender make the interception. Unlucky bounce just before Mane made connection.

And he likely only played more conservatively because the players were burnt out. :mjlol:

They'll be playing like this for at least another 4 months.

Amut Valencia!!! Bright start so far and a very dogged mentality. I like what I'm seeing from Carlos Soler. He's definitely going to feature in the Spanish outfit in the coming years.

Los Che got a tough run-in of games coming up though

H-Real Madrid, A-Sevilla, H-Bilbao, A-Cadiz, A-Barca :picard:

If they can pick up 12-13 pts then they're legit this season.

Serie A and La Liga looking competitive again. Bundesliga still on that BS though :francis:
