Plenty of Leeds United fans have reacted online after seeing journalist Phil Hay outline some key issues within the squad.
Over the weekend, Marcelo Bielsa’s men were lucky to come away with a point as Brighton and Hove Albion hit the post on three different occasions in a 0-0 draw.
Ahead of, and during, the game, the Argentinian manager wrestled with his tactics, making a number of different positional and individual changes.
“Hay explained in a tweet: Phillips at CB. Phillips to CDM. Phillips subbed. Dallas at CM and then RB. Firpo at LB and then subbed. James up front, James on the left, James switching to the right. You could see the frustration in Bielsa’s body language. Not working.”
Will Marcelo Bielsa be Leeds manager next season?
Yes
No
He went into more detail in an article for The Athletic, where he claimed ‘Bielsa’s touch with tactical decisions is no longer so Midas’.
After he shared the article on social media, a collection of supporters weighed in on the debate.
Here’s what the Leeds fans had to say…
“Bielsa has the incredibly annoying habit, similar to Pep, of overthinking games against teams who have beaten them before, and as a result we were a man short in every situation across the whole pitch.”
Judging from these comments, it’s clear to see just how unhappy the Leeds supporters are with all the tinkering Bielsa is doing to their team at the moment.
In fairness to them, it’s not as if he’s getting the results to back up his decisions, either. After all, they have won just once in their past seven outings across all competitions.
Still, with so many injuries to contend with, perhaps the Argentine should be given a little more sympathy and trusted to turn things around.
