Ex-Leeds United midfielder questions Jesse Marsch's credentials in relegation battle

Jesse Marsch has the difficult task of trying to find a way for Leeds United to cling onto their Premier League status for another season, as the Whites look to gain as many points as they can from their final games, whilst hoping for Burnley or Everton to slip-up. However, former Leeds midfielder, Michael Brown has questioned Marsch's ability to do that.

The American coach had only had half a season of experience in one of Europe's top five leagues before being appointed Leeds manager, after he was sacked from his role at RB Leipzig in December. Brown asked whether Marsch was 'experienced enough' to be dealing with the pressures of a relegation battle, as he spoke to BBC Five Live.

"I think sometimes you've got to go back to basics. It's difficult with the group of players that they've got, the injuries, the suspensions, etc. But as a [Marcelo] Bielsa side, staying in games and all being solid and driving and getting a point was never in their remit for such a long period of time.
