Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United Tactics

What an excellent video. Of course it can't explain why we fail to take our chances but it does highlight how under Bielsa, we have become one of the most exciting teams in the top two divisions.

I was hoping there would be an explanation as to the recent run of form

Hope Frank Lampard watches it, that way he'll have no excuses with we get our season aggregate score against them into double figures

high risk high reward, nothing else, adopted by his students

That video described how our early season play worked, because other teams played open against us, allowing space.

As teams realised that pressing us on our 18 yard line to hold us up and hope to nick the ball, allow us the space to hold the ball in midfield when we get through the front press, and getting everyone back to remove any space in the last 25 yards, we have been unable to deliver those tactics.

And yet we have still created 6 or 7 shots on target each game on average

Incredibly proud of what these players have done this season.

Injuries have had a massive impact, as has our bad crossing. But, we have no real height presence up front, which may be why our pressure fails time and again

But damn, it's great to watch
