Jesse Marsch’s previous 10 games as Leeds United boss is just one point better off than Marcelo Bielsa managed in the same period before he left the club. The pressure is beginning to mount on the American after another dismal defeat at Villa Park on Friday night.
A 2-1 loss to Unai Emery’s side was the Whites’ seventh consecutive fixture without a win. Hostile chants could be heard from the away end at the full-time whistle as Leeds - who have won just twice in 17 games across all competitions - fluffed their lines again.
After the game, Marsch acknowledged the noises of discontent from the travelling United supporters. He said: “Obviously, everybody's frustrated with not getting the points but I would have expected an appreciation for the way the team played.
