A B-MINUS FROM ME

-

THERE seems to be this train of thought that Marcelo Bielsa is somehow unsackable at Leeds.

I just don’t get it. Just like I’ve never got the whole furore about the £8million-a-year genius head coach at Elland Road. Well, let me tell you, defeat at Norwich today and he’s very much sackable.

I’d go further and say they should be seriously thinking of dispensing with his services regardless of today’s result. Norwich couldn’t win a raffle and seem to be trying to set a new lowest-ever points total. Leeds have recorded just one win in nine. I don’t think they will lose, but get prepared for the flak to fly if they do.

There are Leeds fans starting to question the great one (above) and defeat to the Premier League’s whipping boys would confirm what

I’ve thought for a long time.

Bielsa is a man with flaws. He might be hailed as a tactical genius but putting players through two or three training sessions a day isn’t clever, you end up with exhausted players.

It only needs one player to start piping up and the dam is breached but, then again, they’re probably all too knackered and have gone off for a nap.
