Leeds United (A) Post Match Thread

[hilts]

yep agree, he looked bollocksed last night, nothing went for him and gave away/lost the ball more than i've ever seen him do

Yeah has been looking very frustrated

Completely agree with this "In any walk of life a good manager accepts certain weaknesses and overcomes them. If everything was perfect we wouldn’t need a manager at all. It’s the biggest part of his/her job."

But would you agree that last season our manager did not overcome our obvious weakness?

Like a player who has a poor season so do managers and pep was very poor last year and has continued in the same vein this year. A player regaining his form is much easier a problem though.

For me his ideas are becoming less effective and the players are looking stale. He does have form for this. The most obvious answer isn’t something the majority want to see

By 'great team' i put more emphasis on 'team'. They don't have to be packed with superstars or have a cabinet full of silver. Eleven men, playing together as a tight unit, running for each other, and themselves into the ground that stick to the plan.
Every time Leeds went forward they had 5, 6, 7 players around our box very quickly. Defensivly they were the same.
Leeds were very unlucky not to get a point in scouseland and i'll guarantee they will take points off all the top sides this season if they continue as they've started.

Like I said tactically excellent and Bielsa’s game management was excellent throughout the game. Substitutions made to impact the game, not just for the sake of it.

Not happy Rodgers laying it out like that for others to learn and follow the same.

Its like, hey guys I found Pep out here is the recipe for you to follow and frustrate them.

Pep needs to rewatch Leicester and Leeds games and come up with plans to stop the rot.
They did work harder and they had more of a plan how to restrict us and punish us at the back than we had for restricting them and punish them at the back.

Think Rogers might have other things on his mind right now

Arsenal next. Arsenal play exactly like Leicester now against the the top 6, sit back and counter with aubameyang, Willian and lacazette its going to be hard since we struggle against these tactics. If they do that sit back and counter we are in trouble they did it in the fa cup and it worked I'm afraid it might do it again

To be fair we were worked out and buses parked long before Leicester last week.

Get the players fit and press as a team, if not we will never be able to reach the standards set in previous years.

The whole playing staff needs a serious kick up the ass, any player not willing to press and run their bollox off should not be selected no matter their reputation or price tag. Far too many passengers not delivering the goods.

Reset and back to basics needed.

Rodgers is spot on.
That's why I can't understand why we don't use the advantage of being up 1-0 and frustrate THEM by sitting back and let THEM open up against their match plan.
If we want 3 points we have to be smarter.

Pep has to learn a lot. But he doesn't really, if I'm honest.

This is what we used to do under Mancini and it was glorious!
