Actually it was a pretty interesting read. Bigs up Fred, Mct and big Tone.
Didn’t clock the martial bit. Bielsa knows

His team play naive; albeit entertaining football.

A few more hammerings ahead for them this season.

Also, at the risk of ridicule for donning my Christmas anorak, I’ve long thought throw-ins are treated like the red headed step child of football. It’s a pass, just like any other, yet it gets treated like a joke.

It’s not a pass like any other though?

Zidane could only dream of the passes Rory Delap pulled off

This is something the vermin identified when they appointed that throw in coach.

PL's average for retained possession under pressure was 48%. He increased the vermin's to 68%.

It’s a pass that starts from behind the head and is delivered exclusively with the hands but otherwise not that much difference.

I do though agree that throw ins are massively ignored. Usual it’s just a haul up the pitch and giving up possession.

Anyway, back on topic, can I take it then that Leeds won the throw ins?

It’s also delivered from a part of the pitch you can’t play any other pass from, you can’t be offside from it, and unlike any other pass the opposition generally has time to reset their shape before it. Other than that though....

Definitely ignored mind and provides some unique opportunities. I remember laughing at the dippers appointing a throw in coach tbh but who’s laughing now

It’s the movement of the ball from one of your players to another. Just because it’s mechanically different and has different characteristics the aim is exactly the same. A keeper throwing it out is mechanically different as well, are you disputing that’s a pass as well?

I get that your base motivation is to be as contrary as possible, but maybe be a little more selective?

Surprised they haven't had a DVD out, "100 Great Anfield Throw-ins".

You know why it's 100....

I suspect its a highly flexible definition of "chances" in both cases.

quite a long rant/explanation of their analysis of the game

all the stats don't mean shit if you lost 6-2 and should have lost by a hell of a lot more

Thumbs down

Still not quite got over the analysis and reaction to this game.

I feel as though I'm relatively knowledgable about the sport, but this game certainly made me realise how little I actually know.

I would have thought that a side conceding 6 goals against a bitter rival during a heavy defeat would come under some type of criticism, yet the opposite has happened. The praise has been universal!

Praise for their energy levels, the constant focus on attack, the pressing up until the final minute. I've been left utterly confused. What about the fact they conceded 6 (six!) goals in a derby game against a bitter, bitter rival in an embarrassing defeat? Utterly mental coverage, and my hate for Gary Neville increases once again. BielsaBall is a load of balls from what I saw.

This is quite entertaining as not everyone is the room is a Leeds United supporter. In fact, I think there is only one.It's kind of odd. The two guys in blue are laughing at leeds and their leeds supporting pal.

I wonder does he supply the booze and sweets and that's why they come on. The laughing guys in blue show barely any interest apart from laughing at leeds and winding him up.
