@SeuneMilmas- Bielsa is an ideologue rather than a pragmatist which leads to situational problems when "plan A" fails- not too dissimilar to the political figure that your username is an anagram of...
@SeuneMilmas- I think that has more to do with the fact that our media are among the least knowledgable in Europe in regard to practically every subject. They are also the most fickle so Bielsa's brilliant ideology could quickly become "naive", "outdated" etc.
@alxdru Yep. There's not a day that Lazio fans are not grateful that they've got Simone Inzaghi, instead of "the greatest coach in the world". Mourinho's been vindicated tonight, after two poets i.e. Bielsa and Gasperini bottled the most important matches of their respective campaigns.
@SeuneMilmas - Good for him, but that's being very short-sighted, not suprisingly from Mourinho. Success is not just and only titles, but exceeding expectations based on financial resources and the strength of the squad. Winning the title is not the same for Man City and Leicester, and similarly, finishing 7th is a disaster for MU and wonderful for Wolves.
After finishing with 60 points in 13th place and selling their most promising player (Vieira), how is 83 points and 3rd not a success for Leeds? After never gaining more than 50 points since they were promoted back into Serie A, how is 72, 60 and 65 (plus playing their first Coppa Italia final since 1996!) not a success for Atalanta? This is life. Success is relative, not absolute.
It is interesting that Leeds have failed to score in just three of their 23 home league games.With a big home crowd and the excellent home record then i can see a comfortable Leeds win.
casilla is awful
Why didn't Jansson play?
Karma for Spygate?
@SteveHyland Leeds have better players than Derby, but they are clearly lacking a manager who has a track record of success.

@SteveHyland Well, Bielsa is certainly pragmatic enough to impress the media and club owners by pontificating about hijs brilliant ideology.

@SeuneMilmas Yep Marcelo Bielsa disappointed many fans from various clubs but not Lazio :)

@SeuneMilmas - What does Mourinho have to do with this match?
@andrew7taylor "Poets do not win many titles." - Jose Mourinho

Leeds will be too strong at home for Derby especially with Bamford back.
@nexus747 I'll be shocked if Frank Lampard's Derby didn't win 3-2.
@SeuneMilmas good enough
0-0
I don't expect an easy game ,I can see Lampard revanging here! 1-3
3-1
