Presenter Richard Keys has blasted Marcelo Bielsa on Twitter following Leeds United’s latest damning defeat.

Leeds travelled to Anfield on Wednesday evening and had one of their worst performances of the season, losing 6-0. It has heavily impacted their goal difference, which could be a factor in the relegation scrap come the end of the season.

Can Leeds avoid relegation?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Bielsa’s side have now won just once in their last six league games, having shipped 16 goals in their last four outings, which has seen them become one of a few teams embroiled in an extremely tight scrap to avoid the drop.

Instead of lashing out at the players for their dismal display, Keys blasted Bielsa, implying that if he was a British coach, he would be getting sacked – and asked what makes Bielsa any different.

TIF Thoughts on Marcelo Bielsa’s situation…

Considering Leeds splashed out £53 million last summer on new players and were looking to build upon their ninth-place finish last season, to find themselves just three points above the bottom three should rightfully bring about questions regarding the manager’s future, however, there appears to be no murmurings or reports that he could be close to the sack.

With just 13 games left in the Premier League, Leeds would be pushing their luck to find a new manager in time who could put their own stamp on this Leeds side and then start getting results from them.

So the board may well fancy their chances with the man who got them into the top half last season and bank on when their injured players return, they can make a big enough difference to stay up.
