General Chat • Re: Bielsa press conference pre Millwall - 28/03/19
Correct form in friendlies are meaningless, who'd have thought we'd show such scintillating play v Stoke after the Los Palmas display, those games are all about fitness.The thing there though that is most enlightening is that Bielsa also didn't rate him until something clicked with Klich against Las Palmas. Maybe there was just something that Klich wasn't doing in training for both TC and MB to not consider him first choice or maybe something wrong attitude wise etc. Whatever it was it just shows how fortunes can change quickly with Klich taking his chance and showing how right Orta was to buy him. Seems Orta saw something in him that TC didn't and that MB didn't see immediately either.
Also shows, in relation to Forshaw impressing in pre-season, that some players are perhaps giving more in friendlies/U23 matches than others do. It shows how deceptive those matches can be when evaluating not only how well a player is doing and how match fit/sharp they are.
Klich did play well v Guiseley & Los Palmas though
