Every word Jesse Marsch said on Leeds United's Newcastle point, Klich's future, Adams and validation

Right now, how valuable is that point?

I think the point is valuable but even more valuable is the clean sheet for us. They’ve been, since I've been here, not so easy to come by. We felt going into the World Cup break and coming out of the pause that we had that we gave goals away too cheaply and we really wanted to try to do better with that. We talked about both the tactics of what that would mean and then also the mentality to do whatever it takes to defend your goal. First half for me, I think we played very, very well. We were in the game we were managing to find a few chances. Then second half, they decided to play very direct to then try to pick up some set pieces and put balls in our box and then it becomes about momentum and energy and then bending but not breaking. And, in general, I thought we did that really well.

Did that explain the substitution particularly when Klich came on? I think it was Jack Harrison, who came off, was that about protecting what you had rather than trying to sort of win the game?
