Think how far Leeds go depends on the strength of their squad as a whole, Bielsa plays high intensity football so they'll need plenty of depth to keep that up for the full season... Similar to Klopp's first full season at Liverpool where they struggled around Jan/Feb time.

Granted we did struggle that winter but I think mostly through losing Mane to ACoN and a horrendous Christmas schedule where we played something mad like 11 games from Christmas until the end of January, including a league cup semi.
I do think Leeds will have similar problems though. Interested to see if Bielsa can adapt to a 46 game season.

I think they'll be fine, didn't even use Bamford today and he'll be really well suited to how Bielsa wants them to play. Exciting time for their fans, but its 1 game in lol

was out yesterday and literally only just now realised shit wonder what score it was and it turns out we play tomorrow night. That's a sign for how interested I am in this shite, we're going down and 5/1 is a great price.

The first game of the season is always taken far more seriously than it should be regarding team’s prospects for the season. People are usually starved of football (obviously bit different after the World Cup) and are rushing to make judgements. It’s still only one game, still wouldn’t fancy Leeds to finish in the top 6 and I’d still fancy Stoke for promotion.

Not sure Bamford will suit them after watching that yesterday, he’s a clever player so he will suit the one touch football they played at times but good luck getting him to run around like Roofe was yesterday.

Yeah I think Bamford sticks out like a sore thumb if they play like they did yesterday. Be perfect away from home though.

Leeds will do a Leeds by Christmas so I wouldn't be too impressed by that performance.
