Individually, he's up with the pace of the game, and has broken forward a few times.

As a group, they are struggling with deep runs from Leeds MF.

Lucky to be only a goal down atm...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Watching now, I think they are struggling keeping up with Leeds movement.

Maybe, just maybe with the crop of players we have we really can’t play 4-3-3. Maybe Morata can only play with a strike partner. Otherwise I say get rid of him and get a proper striker.

Great build up from the back by Leeds; 5 passes, 4 players, quick shot by Hernandez; poor handling by Butland

2-0 Leeds

El Loco Watch:

Technical area getting the sort of work out it has never seen b/4

Tactically, keeping a simple curriculum; 4-1-4-1
Quick movement and outnumbering a lumbering Stoke in MF
Occasional switch to a back 3 in build up...

Should be a good lab for any keen watcher of the game...

Butland attempts to pass out from the back.

Goes straight to a throw-in...

Poor ball from Etebo to Mclean leaves the brutish Scot fuming.

Its Etebo's last contribution as Fletcher comes on for him

Also Bojan- how are the mighty fallen?

I saw him on the bench earlier - hard to believe a former Barcelona player can't even make the starting line up at this level.

Bielsa will school managers at that level. Poch's mentor can be deadly if he has the right managerial backing.

The problem is not the defence..look at the midfield and attack that offers nothing.
Not sure what Sari expects to get out of Jorginho and Cesc as the 2 deep CMs. neither one is a ball winner. Kante's return can't come soon enough else that team is in deep trouble

You guys do know that Kante and Hazard were not playing this game right :woot:
