Leeds did better than Chelsea --and at Anfield too.

I'm sure he'd say it was a good opportunity to give the players who didn't play last weekend and who won't be playing this weekend to get their match fitness up and some of them to change his mind and stake their claim. When it comes down to it of course the most important thing in his mind will be to stay so he may well see the Carabao as a hindrance. He wouldn't be alone in that respect, I think the majority of teams rotate in this competition now, even mid-table sides and from all 4 divisions too.

Tighter schedules this season too is not going to help.


I concur, they (players) need and deserve a run out to get actual match experience but I recall Bielsa not bothering with Caraboa cup in EFL too.

Anyway, after yet another 7 goal thriller, it is clear Leeds will score a lot of goals this season --but will probably concede a lot too!

They are missing Ben White for sure, bloody Brighton wouldn't sell him even though he wanted to go to Leeds permanently.

Of course it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the defence can be rather worrying at times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Leeds lost to Hull on penalties in the Carabao Cup, with 11 changes to the team who played at Anfield anyone would think Bielsa has no wish to be in that competition.
Very annoying :grrrrr:

He's building a good squad with a good attitude, and in Aubameyang we have one of the most clinical finishers in world football.


Are you including the community shield as a trophy?


I don't usually, but I heard someone say it during the commentary yesterday.

Winning a trophy usually means winning a competition, and the CC isn't that. It is literally a trophy though, and we did win it, so I'm happy to go along with it


When did Spurs last win a trophy?

I have to agree, Arsenal are looking really good and Arteta has them playing great football.
They are entertaining to watch and Willian (great player) has seamlessly fitted in.

What a game! 5 goals in 32 minutes and Liverpool eventually winning 4-3 but as an introduction to the Premier League it was a magnificent performance from Leeds. The two central defenders only met each other 5 days before the match so plenty to work on but I am ever so pleased for Leeds. A truly magnificent effort.
Sadly Fulham got battered 3-0 by Arsenal at the Cottage, the latter look very very good and I think they will do really well this season.
