Leeds United have now shipped 11 goals in their last two home home matches, with little sign that they’ve improved since Marcelo Bielsa was sacked.The easiest way of finding out how Leeds have played in their latest fixture is to look at the trending topics on Twitter to see if Marcelo Bielsa’s name is amongst them.
By just about any standards you care to consider, this has been a disastrous week for Leeds United. In the space of just eight days they’ve shipped 11 goals in two matches, all the worse because both of those games were at Elland Road. Against Crystal Palace, they started reasonably well, created a couple of chances and led thanks to a goal from Patrick Bamford.
But it’s taken just eight days for the post-Forest optimism to almost completely dissipate, and even though he takes ultimate responsibility for these two home thrashings, it’s difficult to pin too much blame on the manager alone. After all, he’s only been with the club for eight weeks, and Leeds have been performing like this for much of the season.
The congestion at the bottom of the Premier League is finally starting to ease a little. Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers are both now more or less safe, while Bournemouth’s recent run of four wins from six games has left them on the brink of safety as well, while West Ham’s recent upturn in form leaves them just a win or two from likely salvation.
But if the alternative is dropping back into the Championship, which is the better option? Because since the departure of Marcelo Bielsa Leeds United have been drifting, and have been drifting close to relegation.
