Bielsa gone

Surely Marsch is just more of the same. The Rangnick school of high press, which is painfully ineffective when the players aren’t up to the requisite quality. Technical (even mid table type) teams can play through the high press and often find themselves with 3 v 4 or 3 v 3 in attacking situation. This would be difficult for the best defenders in world football. For Ayling, Struijk and Llorente et al., it is several magnitudes beyond their ability.
 
Big Sam is going to takeover at Leeds and his first action as manager will be to turn Bielsa's little bucket seat upside down and fill it with Carling Black Label tinnies and bottles of Babycha
 
Leeds played a very high press that needed superior energy levels, eventually others have caught them up. Also not sure they have invested enough in comparison with other EPL sides. A bit like Newcastle 2 years ago.
