Lampard should go and study this book now.

Ayemileto:

I didn't predict them to make top 4.
I said Europa, which is Top 7.

that could be possible but not certainty

muykem:
Not yet over. VAR can still call them back tomorrow to play penalty.

Season has started pretty well in my opinion... VAR should not come and spoil things.

dukeprince50:
na so Norwich began with initial gragra o cos them carry championship, even beat man city but where are they now?

Norwich and Leeds united are not the same oh. I'll give you 2 important differences

1. I believe Leeds united is a bigger club than Norwich, with more history and the owners have money to spend.
2. Leeds United have a better coach in Marcelo Bielsa than Daniel Farke

Kyase:
It can't be like before, Dubai and Russia money spoilt the game

omo dat Marco na football prof.u can tell d man eats,sleeps, breaths football

angelfallz:


dukeprince50 and Wordson if Everton don't make top 4, which clubs would make top 4?

As it is now, Liverpool are guaranteed top4(although anything can happen oh), so remaining 3 slots which would probably be fought over among man city, tottenham, everton, chelsea, man united, arsenal, Leicester city. don't count out wolves and leeds united.

Man united don't have the players, chelsea is touch and go, arsenal are still improving, Leicester city can they go all the way(they had a massive late collapse last season)

So its very possible for everton to make the top4.

No doubt Everton started out in d best of form dis season and of course I see dem going far. Dey sure av d stones to get d job done and end as a top 4 team... However, d season is still very young bro, let's see what position dey will assume by December

na your type dey go carry another woman put for house if their wife born 4 girls give them

lol , me shaa prefer daughters to sons

ComradeShegs:


You really want to compare Aston Villa's pattern of play this season with that of Leeds? C'mon naw. This boy's understand each other pretty good.Their calculated killer passes, the fast run; all on point....And then Frustrating Liverpool to a 4-3 scoreline and playing Mancity 1-1 should pass a message bruv. This guys ain't here to play. So I'll say it again, if they keep this consistency, they're making top 4. Yes.

Stop getting too excited. The only thing that's sure is that they are not going back to relegation.

Decimus:
Lampard should go and study this book now.

He should... With the squad Chelsea has, they should be killing teams left, right and center!!!

Wordson:
lol.. bad guy!
I agree with u on dis one..

my guy

His tactical nous is nothing without his discipline.

You see how hard his players work? How they run tirelessly?

I heard anytime his players underperform, he normally ask them to pick the dirts all around the stadium.

The players play like they fear him.

Manchester City had a narrow escape.

Leeds United is the team to beat this season.

Exactly bro. That's why they call him Marcelo Bielsa the mad man. That guy is a genius in football.

Pep and his boys are not ready for this season

this man should be shown the exit door.


if not for the name PEP, he ought to have been booted outta the job before this season sets in.


This is the 5th season and still haven't done what he was hired to do.


he hasn't done anything exceptional, same EPL, Carabao cup and FA cup that the previous coaches have won is same trophies he still brag about.


tell me if this dude isn't a failure?

dukeprince50:
best thing for leeds to to finish top 10, even Europa go hard cos we have teams like Liverpool, Man city, wolves, Chelsea, united, Arsenal, and maybe Tottenham and Everton. Leads won't go anywhere

the good news is, there is no team in the EPL that Leeds cannot beat including Liverpool(I should know as a Liverpool fan who watched the first game at Anfield)

Angelfrost:


Great club with nice history... Tony Yeboah, Radebe, Hasselbaink, Viduka, etc... The glory days will someday return! Marco Bielsa was a great gamble, and he has done well so far.

Bielsa is not a gamble, he is an astute coach and has pedigree, he fell in love with the Leeds United project and joined them from the championship amost securig hem premiership promotion in 2018 but lost in the playoffs. He stayed and was able to win the championship Nd gain automatic promotion to the premiership his season....so you see, Marcelo Bielsa is not a gamble

dukeprince50:
which pace?
Four matches with seven points, that one na pace?
Even Aston villa deh 6points with two matches

who Aston villa don face? Leeds have faced Liverpool, Man city and Sheffield United already

My 21k busted by only mancity... Ordinary score both halve na wahala for dem ... Aswear e pain me no b here sha

Calm down guys,with their pattern of play,they would soon tire out

Okay... I stand corrected then.

"When he took the Argentina job, at the end of his first training session Bielsa handed the players a pencil and a little slip of paper. He wanted them to write down whether they wanted to line up with a back three or a four. He went through all the replies. "Back four, back four, back four... This clearly shows your preference for a line of four. But I'm telling you that from now on we're going to be playing with a back three. See you tomorrow." And he won them over, bringing them round to his way of thinking".

— BBC South American football correspondent

Reference:
The Premiership is just super hard to contain. Which other league in the world will have a newly promoted team stand toe to toe with the biggest and the very best, serial silverware winners week in week out without an iota of respect.

No team comes matchday to be cannon fodder. No team comes to roll over and die. If this was Spain, Germany that Pep is familiar with he could even play his second team in such matches.

But in England these are the games that define the season. Every game is a cup final and every point contested on a war like footing. Pep must be aghast that he cannot assemble a proper squad before the landmines are exploding all around him.

Right. They all play for the TV money.. Competition is rife.

In 2012, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola credited Bielsa as his tactical inspiration and called him the "best manager in the world".

Bielsa is known for watching and collecting numerous football videos to the point of obsession. He edits and analyzes each video for each individual player. He also uses statistical software and other technological tools to prepare for games. John Carlin, an English journalist, has stated that Bielsa has "the most learned football library on the planet"

Bielsa likes to systematise the game. He says that there are 29 distinct formations in football and believes that every young player should be given the opportunity to experience each of them.

Discovered by Bielsa, prolific former Argentina national team striker Gabriel Batistuta proclaimed Bielsa to be "the one who taught me how to train on rainy days, he taught me everything". Fernando Llorente, who played under Bielsa at Athletic Bilbao, said of his former coach, "At first he seems tough and he may even annoy you with his persistence and don't-take-no-for-an-answer resilience, but in the end he is a genius." Chile international Alexis Sánchez said of Bielsa: "I learned a lot from him and it is because of him that I am who I am." Bayern Munich player Javi Martínez who worked with Bielsa at Bilbao, said that 'Bielsa taught me a lot, how to play as a centre-back and to learn a different style of football, everyone should work with him at least once in their life.'

Manchester City and France player Benjamin Mendy cited for his improvement under Bielsa at Marseille, Mendy claimed Bielsa had "given back to him the strength and aggressiveness lost last year." His club and international teammate Aymeric Laporte who was given his debut by Bielsa at Athletic Bilbao, described him as a 'mentor' figure.

Funny enough, i think he is the only EPL manager that doesn't speak English at all....

This Man city may not make it alive out of their ucl group to round of 16...It seems they're in easy group but check very well and you'll change your opinion... Even Barcelona can't get out of that group with all the 15pts if they were in man city's shoe let alone man city

Leeds United coach patiently waiting for Manchester United like.........

uunwanaobong3:
Guardiola in terms of tactical play is the best coach in the world BUT in terms of buying players, he is one of the world coach I have ever seen, given the resources at mancity disposal.........

Mancity need to make 3 urgent buy this season if they are to compete for top 4 this season.....they need to buy a left back like ALABA because Mendy is a waste /idiot........ They need to buy winger like adama troare because Ferran Torres no get the flair and skills to replace Sane........ They also need to buy a striker like Halland to support aguero because Gabriel Jesus is bang average and does not possess striker instinct....

As for Ruben dias, I can confirm that he is one of the best defender in the world and can comfortably replace company.

With the way this current mancity team is, they can not win premier league or champions league in the next 10 years

when arsenal jam mancity I pity una

dukeprince50:
penalties are part of football, Leeds are trying but they won't make top four as most people predicts

arsenal will surely crush Leeds and be among the top four that's a fact

OGS should go see the magic and coordination Marcelo Bielsa does on the touchline. A 65yrs old man, a walking library of football tactics and philosophy...
