Quick thread on Andoni Iraola for you Bournemouth and general Premier League fan. Will start with how he likes to set up his teams out of possession as that's his biggest upside as a manager.

Although the pass here looks easy, in real time it wasn't. If Llorente got this wrong then Leeds would have been in trouble. Roberts movement made it easier though.

22 years old. Bullied one of the better strikers in the league after a few months out injured. Calm, composed and physically a beast. 2-3 years time he’ll get into any team in Europe imo.

Guarantee Rutter doesn’t have a clue about the “don’t go to bed just yet” meme. Absolutes weirdo if you’re turning on him, the lad deserves his move. Been nothing but brilliant for us. Real character, diamond of a guy.

Was talk about Lewis O’Brien having a £10m release clause, if that’s the case, Leeds should be activating it. A player suited for our style, can play alongside Phillips as a 6. With us playing narrow, we need someone comfortable receiving in tight spaces and he fits the bill.

England intensity was impressive vs Croatia but lacked against Scotland. The team total pressures were down by 74. Kalvin Phillips lead the way once again for England.

Carlos Corberán for me is the best coach in the championship in terms of tactical flexibility. Always got a plan for the opposition. Doing a wonderful job at West Brom but the one manager I think would take to life in a higher league the best.

Instantly don’t know ball if you rate Roca at a 6.5
Rate Leeds United's big five summer signings out of 10 on the evidence of what you have seen so far....
For me
Brenden Aaronson: 7
Tyler Adams: 7.5
Luis Sinisterra: 7
Marc Roca: 6.5
Rasmus Kristensen: 5

Bamford blindside movement, well movement in general is among the best in Europe. Now that he's being more explosive, he's finding himself in some brilliant positions.

Rayo was back yesterday and their hybrid pressing resulted in a goal. The press itself was player to player but the positioning of Palazon ready to cover two players meant when the ball was turned over, he was in prime position to attack the free space. Lovely stuff.

Piroe is about as natural of a replacement for Bamford as Marsch was for Bielsa

Fair to say that the Rodrigo signing hasn't worked out but this was a bloody lovely goal. He's got quality, just doesn't fit what Bielsa wants from a striker.

Rewatched Bournemouth against Villa and Iraola got his tactics spot despite the game ending 2-2. In typical fashion, he’s OOP approach was rewarding. Below are 3 pressing scenarios followed by a 4th which ended in their 2nd goal.

His football ability aside, well lack of football ability, Kiko shouldn't even be on the books at Leeds nevermind playing. Bielsa has got one thing wrong at Leeds and that's keeping Kiko.

Leeds under 18's have struggled this season but one to keep an eye for the future is Ronnie McGrath. Regular for England under 16's and got really good technical skills, as the example below shows against Man United under 18's.

Potential he gets dropped today with Cooper back fit but Pascal Struijk this season has been legit. Leeds style of course means he's more active in defensive duels but his success rate is brilliant.

Okay I’m back briefly just to say and repeat what I’ve said before, for me the sign of a good coach is that no matter what team they put out, you see the same/similar things. Tonight we saw that with Boro (made a number of changes) and not with us.

Against pretty much any opposition who play a back four they line up in a 442. They press high on goal kicks, looking to force the opposition to play the pass to one of their CB's. This is the trigger for the below pressing sequence to happen.

Basic data profile on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Rubin Kazan winger being linked with Leeds, although Juventus look favourites. I've personally only seen one game of his against Spain for Georgia and what I saw then reflects in his data. Huge dribble output.

Anyway, hope this was useful/insightful. Really looking forward to seeing how Andoni Iraola gets on at Bournemouth and I'm totally not jealous that he's not managing Leeds.

Andoni Iraola still without a job, seems like the only job available in La Liga is Celta Vigo and of course Rayo. Seems like he made his decision in March with the Leeds job or Sevilla job looking nailed on for him. One of those is still available, albeit in a lower league👀

Constantly linked with Leeds Rodrigo de Paul compared with one of my favourite midfielders in Italy Manuel Locatelli. Don't know what Locatelli's value is or if Leeds could even sign in but if they could, I'd rather him than de Paul.

The AM will press the centre back receiving whilst the striker covers the pass back to the keeper. The man marking element comes with ball side winger marking the full back, one of the DM's marking the opposition pivot and the other DM pushing onto the ball side midfielder.

A new position yesterday for Robbie Gotts, playing as a left inside forward. Had some good bursts of pace and applied pressure to Oldhams back line all game.

Why do I get the feeling we are only going to sign 4-5 players? Our squad is on the floor. Too many managers at Leeds get drawn into the players personality and it clouds their judgment on their ability as a footballer imo.

Bielsa leaving genuinely feels like splitting up with your partner. The man brought life back to Leeds as a club and as a city. We was a club playing each season for nothing, finishing mid table and losing our best players every year.

Most frustrating thing about Marsch is he’s had long spells where he could work with the players and seemly achieved nothing but let them have a long holiday. He’s had 4 weeks and the team have served up a terrible performance against Villa and Palace since it.

The hybrid pressing (as
@Jon_Mackenzie
would call it) comes in the form of ball far winger. He has the responsibility of marking the spare midfielder whilst also keeping an eye on the full back. Iraola is happy to give the disadvantage up horizontally rather than vertically.

The negativity on here after a defeat is crazy. Think some people are still in the mindset of us playing in the Championship. Take's years to build a squad capable of doing well in the Premier League. Just got to stay up which I think we have a fair chance of doing.

Just catching up on how Robbie Gotts did on his debut for Salford yesterday, love this from him. Looks like he'll be given the opportunity to break forward from midfield.

I’m not going to stick up for Gnonto and it never sits right with me when a player refuses to play for my club. I do however feel he’s being massively mislead by his agent (got history of doing this) and those around him.

Watched a seminar he did and found it very interesting. Even small details like coaching his players to be aware of teammates positioning before pressing. What space I’m I leaving if I go to press and if it’s dangerous, is a teammate in a position to fill it.

You can’t really replace Rutter but I do think Ramazani is a someone who’s pretty close. Can play across the front line, picks up great positions in between the lines and has that unpredictable nature about him.

Worth remembering that he’s without a lot of his coaching team he had at Rayo in Bournemouth. So not only is it a new league/country, new players but also getting new coaches up to speed with how he wants to play.

Rayo's goal against Real Madrid last season is probably a goal that best sums up how he wants his sides to play when they have the ball.

Not against signing talented young players like Edouard Michut but don’t think that’s the age profile we need in midfield. Got Gyabi, Bate and Gray already. All three should be getting minutes imo. Would looked for a bit more experience in there to help them.

I know he’s far from perfect but the difference Bamford makes compared to Piroe is huge. The whole team just functions so much better. Again like Struijk, he’ll deserves his flowers.

Well when your tactic to try and beat a low block/get back into games is to just throw loads of attacking players on, you’re doing something wrong as a coach.

Also if a team like Everton are the level required to be fighting for Europe, we are 3-5 Raphinha quality signings away from being in the mix.

Latest player dashboard. Rodrigo de Paul, linked with Leeds and Liverpool more recently. Had a brilliant season last year and is carrying that form on this season. If your team is crying out for creativity then de Paul is your man.

In possession their 442 is more of a 433. Iraola to date hasn't really been a possession based coach or one that focuses on building out from the back. If they aren't pressed, they will build up via their full backs. They are a side who play long a lot, especially their CB's.

Far too many games where tactically Farke has got it wrong. Clearly been a good man manager given the frantic summer but only a handful of games where you can honestly say his game plan was spot on.
