Well...it sucks in a way but I can see what one major issue is.
Bielsa wants to play balls-to-the-wall football all the time...and he doesnt have the horses to do it.
Unless you're one of the top teams in the World you dont go to the Etihad and think to yourself:
"Yeah...lets play wide open and attack them!"
Because you are more than likely going to get slaughtered. Bielsa has to be smarter than that.
That is 'Dumb as Gulutzan' thinking in that if you adhere to certain principles it'll all eventually go your way. You have to play different teams differently and Bielsa isnt doing that and his guys are getting taken out to the woodshed as a result.
If the manager sets up the players to fail often enough they're going to stop playing for him.
