A lot of Leeds United fans have flocked to a post from Phil Hay that has relayed team news from Marcelo Bielsa’s press conference before the Whites face Newcastle United.
The post from Hay also confirms that the Argentine will not be naming his starting XI before games going forward as it has become a talking point.
This has drawn the attention of these Leeds fans, who are happy with this decision.
What did these Leeds fans think of Phil Hay’s post?
So pleased he’s not naming the team, it gives away an advantage. I bet I can still name it tho!

No injuries? Feel like I’m dreaming

Do you agree with this decision from Bielsa?
Yes, it had to stop
No, he should have carried it on
Last week, Bielsa decided to name his full starting XI well before the Whites played West Ham United.
After the game, Gabriel Agbonlahor mocked Bielsa for choosing to reveal all in his press conference, and it looks like the Argentine has decided it would be a good idea to avoid doing so from now on.
This has annoyed these Leeds fans, though, who feel like Bielsa has been forced into this decision because people are finding ways to make stories from him.
It’s ridiculous that people try and make a story out of something that he’s done over the last 2 years.

Him not doing it this week will be a talking point

It is good that Leeds have no new injury concerns, and it will be interesting to see what team they put out against the Toon on Wednesday as they look to move on from Friday’s defeat to West Ham.
