I loved his Chile and Sevilla teams and he’s clearly a good/great coach within the right framework. I don’t disagree with you - but because he’s not the right fit doesn’t make him exempt from criticism. Being too stubborn to deviate from a system that was never going to work with this group is just terrible management. Maradona was a disaster but at least there was a semblance of a structure - the lowest possible bar - that was just an utter, horrifying mess.
I didn’t say/suggest he was exempt from criticism.
He appears like a true Bielsa disciple, great (if not ultimately successful) with a team that fits his style… genuinely rubbish when out of his comfort zone (I’m sure Leeds will be fine )
London related football watching question: We’re going to see Nine Inch Nails at the RAH on Sunday, so will be in that there London (did i say it right?). Where would be a good place to watch the England game? I’d like to be able to sip a beer or two. 'Er who cares very little for the football would like there to be an area outside, such as a beer garden or something.
Really nasty feeling that Nigeria and Iceland will see out the fucking awful 0-0 that both of their teams suggest, and open the door for Argentina again.
in the absence of @Unlucky’s poll i would like to announce to everyone that i will (hopefully) be watching all three matches of the football today. WORLD CUP!
