Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford recently described good management as puzzle solving and Daniel Farke has a Rubik's Cube on his hands this week.
Spygate, an episode that put this football club front and centre in the national headlines, did more than delight and captivate the tabloid sub editors. It opened the eyes of fans everywhere to just how much work goes into opposition analysis on a weekly basis. It happens everywhere, at clubs up and down the country, as Frank Lampard was desperate to tell everyone. Although not to the insanely exhaustive levels, perhaps, that Marcelo Bielsa went to.
Middlesbrough made Leeds look far too open at times. Protecting Meslier starts at the opposite end of the pitch, in the way the numbers 9 and 10 press, alongside Farke's wingers. But it's no real surprise that the pain Leeds have been suffering through the middle has led to calls for a change to the midfield shape and not just the personnel.
