History going to repeat itself for Leeds, went tits up this time last season, now 4 defeats in 5. Have to question the players mentality

Do you think it’s mentality, or do you think it is too many games in a long championship season to be playing this type of football?

They should have given Nketiah more chances even though he doesn’t get through the work that Bamford does.

As Pep found out at City, sometimes you need to adapt your footballing ideas to make room for a goal scorer. It can make all the difference in tight games.

Yeah, his teams have historically been shit at putting the ball in the back of the net.

What I was referring to was him trying to phase out aguero for a harder working forward early on, only for aguero to prove to him the value of someone who can consistently find the back of the net.

Who knows where Leeds would be if they had a striker who can get 25 in the league but maybe doesn’t get through the workload of Bamford.

Goals change games, especially in a league like the Championship where anyone can beat anyone.

We saw that with Eddie Ntketih. Had an excellent goals to minutes ratio but Bielsa just refused to start him until he was about to be recalled by Arsenal on account that in his view Patrick Bamford was much better fit for the team's attacks in final third.

Bamford is o.k but he's not a player who's going to fire you to promotion like Mitrovic. They were linked with Che Adams and Dwight Gayle in last window aswell.

Think Pablo Hernandez getting injured over xmas and losing form has really hurt Leeds aswell as he's an underrated player. Kalvin Phillips also missed the last three suspended.

They certainly need a result at Brentford.

Bamford is the reason they are so poor at finishing. He’s been awful for them given some of the opportunities I’ve seen him miss.
 
Kiko Casilla has just been given an 8-match ban for using racist language.
Leeds have criticised the FA’s disciplinary process after their goalkeeper Kiko Casilla received an eight-match suspension for racially abusing an opponent

Casilla is unlikely to appeal but on Friday night the former Real Madrid player maintained his innocence, claiming he was “devastated” and did not believe the verdict was “a true reflection” of the incident.

An independent three-person FA regulatory panel found the 33-year-old Spaniard had racially abused Jonathan Leko during a game at Charlton in September.

It was alleged Casilla used the n-word at a corner but, unusually, the FA has delayed releasing its “written reasons” until next week. The goalkeeper consistently denied the charge and was supported at the hearing by evidence from Eddie Nketiah, the Arsenal forward then on loan at Leeds.

So he said "Negro"? (This is black in Spanish for the uninitiated.. as the color, not a person)

Heaven forbid he use his own langauge. A descriptive action? I hate racists to the bone, but I'm struggling to see the harm in this one

Isn’t this what Evra got called though by Suarez? My friend who was Living in South America for 3 years at that point in some village 2 days drive from the nearest city still says ‘negro’ in South America is a friendly term used by everyone and nothing like our interpretation....

It was apparently worse than that, according to the FA report

It is alleged by the FA that immediately thereafter KC audibly directed at JL the words ‘you fecking nigger’. In these Written Reasons we refer to that alleged use of those words as ‘the Incident’.

Suarez did not just say negro and neither did Casilla. You don't get an 8 match ban for that.
 
8 games for that.. You can end someones career and get 10 games or even less. No 100% evidence if the BBC story is to be believed.

"yey, we make the game equal!!"

Yes. We even call negro to white people in an affectionate way.
 
Cue lots of articles on Bielsa as numerous journalists pretend to be experts.
 
Going to vomit a little. Absolute shithouses. Two games they’ll be treating next season as cup finals. cnuts. I wish they went bust all them years ago. Gobshites.
 
Cue the influx of Leeds fans on this forum. Auto ban the cnuts.
 
Another hard game added to our list, these motherfeckers are one of our worst enemies. Remember a few years ago they trashed Manchester after a cup game.
 
Leeds and Liverpudlian accents are by far the worst. Coincidence? I think not.
 
I find it fascinating that such a volatile, albeit gifted, coach has found a home at Leeds of all places in the world.

A good team to have back in the PL
