Interesting article in today's Sunday Times by Alyson Rudd on the approach adopted by Bielsa in Leeds first season back in the Premiership. Whilst acknowledging that Bielsa has been widely praised for his adventurous spirit and Leeds' attacking, entertaining style, Rudd points out that Leeds "could be easily sucked into a relegation battle" unless Bielsa makes an unlikely deviation from his principles. Rudd also cites a post-match interview with Brendan Rodgers after his Swansea team lost 4-1 to a Chelsea team playing most of the game with ten men. "Rodgers beamed with pride and said how pleased he was his team had not comprised their style."
Warbs is clearly cut from the same cloth, a football purist with very fixed ideas on how the game should be played. Seemingly, adopting such an approach can lead to success? |  | | |  |

Leeds are about 9 points clear of the bottom 3, I find some of the criticism of Bielsa a bit mad, they play really good attacking football and it's working for them but pundits seem to be slating him, Paul merson (I know) was talking as if they were bottom of the league yesterday |  | | |
