Many Leeds United supporters have been responding to a Twitter post from the club in which they shared some footage of Marcelo Bielsa’s squad in training with the caption ‘practising for more 7-goal thrillers’.
The Whites narrowly lost at Anfield on the opening day of the season 4-3 to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and last weekend, they were on the right end of the same scoreline, defeating Scott Parker’s Fulham.
The footage shows the players taking part in what appears to be a high-intensity drill which ends with a player having to finish into a small-sized goal.
Here is how a sample of the Elland Road faithful have responded to the post.
Not sure i can take too many more of those. How about a nice comfy 3-0 please.

I’d be more happy if they were practicing for a solid 2-0 win ?

A really boring 1:0 will do me and my heart just fine.

Are you confident going into this weekend's Yorkshire derby?
Yes
No
Some fans spotted a figure standing in a tower in the background of the video watching on, leading to many questioning whether or not that could be Bielsa.
Is that Bielsa up in the tower?

Leeds United take on Sheffield United in a Yorkshire derby this weekend and whilst we’re certain the club’s supporters will be happy to see their side continue their good goalscoring form, judging from the above comments they’re looking for a much more solid defensive display.
