Anyone watching the Leeds arsenal game?
Leeds great to watch in the 1st half full of energy passing technique.
A pleasure to watch a really well coached team.
They may all end up losing this one but this young team have arsenal a game unlike our spanners.

Yes Ken I have been watching it. Leeds have been very well coached, they know their positions, run off the ball well, pass it well. You can see their pattern of play. They have given Arsenal a real shock and should have been two up at half time.

kalvin phillips played well.
06 Jan 2020 21:55:07
If we played like that and lost I don’t think we could complain much. I don’t think Leeds have better players than us so are we really expecting too much from our current crop of players?

Amz
It showed what a top level organised coach could do after setting a pattern of play,

Indeed. I do love Bielsa. Just a proper coach who wants to be out on the training ground getting his ideas across. He has already left his mark on the English game through managers like Pep but it is nice to see him here coaching now.
We don’t want Leeds to be successful but there is a part of me that wants them to go up so that we can see Bielsa in the premiership. Would absolutely love it if we had him!

I hope they get promoted. They will enhance the epl more than the likes of west Brom or stoke.

Arteta clearly got a tune out of arsenal in the second half! Both tonight’s teams, give us a glimpse of how to press, what it looks like.
I dare say both teams looked fired up, passionate and commitment.
We can hope.

Bielsa is a brilliant manager. Leeds are a shining example of what a top manager can do. It would be hard to argue any Leeds players being superior to United’s (barring Kalvin Phillips whose phenomenal) .
However, there is the odd narrative that no other manager would do better with this squad. Get a top class manager who knows what he’s doing, and results and performances will improve.
{Ed047's Note - 100% Park, it’s an absolute given.

Bang on park. and ed047.
I don't think the Leeds set up is any better than ours above him but he gets on with coaching players like a proper coach should. Improving them.

Similarly Liverpool reserve team against Everton although missing the star names, played the same way as the 1st team. It proves that if a team is well coached the personnel doesn't have to me all the top players. Nobody can argue that Klopp, Pep or Bielsa wouldn't have our squad playing better. We made a huge mistake giving OLE the job and now seem to embarrassed to rectify it.

Inhope can i change your statement a little.
Nobody can CREDIBLY claim that no other coach could have our players playing better than ole.

Spot on Inhope. Ken unfortunately there are people (especially on Twitter) who are hell bent on the view nobody can to better than ole. But you are right mate.
