A lot of Leeds United fans are dreading the day Marcelo Bielsa leaves Elland Road.
This is because at his latest press conference, he discussed many topics, and the whole conference went on for hours – which pleased many Leeds supporters but also made them worry about the day that the Argentine leaves.
Who has Bielsa done a better job with?
Phillips
Bamford
Hernandez
Long, long presser with Bielsa, touching on all sorts – counter-attacking, English football, the state of play in the league. Took a quick glance at his watch and chuckled to himself on the way out. #lufc

What do we think?
Bielsa is eccentric and is widely considered to be one of the most fascinating characters in the game.
He has also transformed Leeds in the time he has been at the club.
Many of the fans had become disconnected from the club, but he has managed to make many fans come back to the club and fall in love with it again.
The impact he has had on many of the players can also not be discounted – he moved Kalvin Phillips into a holding midfield role, and the 24-year-old has not looked back, and since Bielsa came to the club, he has only missed five matches.
The Argentine has also got the best out of Pablo Hernandez and Patrick Bamford.
Bielsa will leave Leeds at some point, but when he does, he will know he has transformed the club.
