Leeds United lost another Premier League game, seeing Spurs leave Elland Road with all three points after a 4-0 win. The result makes it three losses in a week with an aggregate score of 14-2 in the favour of their opponents.

It was a poor day for the Whites, having found themselves 3-0 down after 27 minutes thanks to goals from Matt Doherty, Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane. Towards the end of the second half, the scoring was completed with Heung-Min Son getting in on the act.

Should Leeds replace Bielsa?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Such results in close proximity have rightly brought about lots of criticism for the tactics deployed by Marcelo Bielsa, with Glenn Hoddle weighing in as he was commentating on the Spurs game for BT Sport.

On commentary duty, he went on to say “Bielsa’s man-for-man marking doesn’t work at this level.”

You can see why he is saying that. Leeds have now conceded 60 goals in the Premier League this season, that’s more than bottom side Norwich.

Leeds have a two point cushion to the drop zone but, two of the four teams below them have at least one game in hand on them.

By the time the games are caught up, Leeds could find themselves in the bottom three, setting up a nervy couple of weeks for Leeds and in turn, end to the season.
