3 points in the bag, but crikey, Bielsa must've kicked both boots, cones and kitbag in the dressing room. Leeds were a mess in the second-half. 14 shy of the safety securing 40-points mark, 'tis unlikely they'll be relegated, but highly likely they'll be in a pseudo-relegation battle, with the dogs of that dogfight all but already doomed. Yesterday there midfield was non-existent, on countless occasions, Fabian Schaar strode out of Newcastle's backline like the second coming of Phillipe Albert, carrying the ball like a feint and dash quarterback. Unopposed. Leeds were lucky, very lucky.
