A lot of Leeds United fans were delighted with Mateusz Klich’s performance during the top of the table clash with West Bromwich Albion.
The Polish midfielder was everywhere for his team, and analysis by LUFCDATA shows just how good he was.
Is Klich Leeds' best midfielder?
Yes
No
Klich’s display certainly went down well with Leeds fans who were pleased to see him play so well.

This player is so under-rated.

My man of the match tonight. Bamford made the obvious impact and Harrison and Dallas didn’t stop working either but Klich did all the running and linked up well too, back to his best.

Plus sawyers on strings

Agreed. Lots of people said he was tired and needed a rest. @Cli5hy is seriously underrated. Might need a rest sometime tho’ (!) – how you feeling Mateusz??

What do we think?
Klich, who is valued at £2.25m by Transfermarkt, was impressive for Leeds, and the stats back this up. Overall, he made the most ball recoveries in the game (13) completed the most take-ons (3) and also made the most attacking third passes. (25)
He also made two tackles and had one shot. This was a complete performance from the 29-year-old and shows why he is so important to Marcelo Bielsa.
This was Klich’s 25th appearance of the season, and since Bielsa arrived, he has not missed a single league game.
The Polish international has a great engine and can link play, he is an essential part of this Leeds squad, and this latest performance is another example of that.
