One of the biggest changes in Leeds United's style of play since Jesse Marsch took over as manager from Marcelo Bielsa has been the way the team approach playing with width. Under Bielsa, Leeds looked to make the pitch as wide as possible and wingers Raphinha, Jack Harrison or Daniel James would be given space to run into.
Marsch prefers to keep the team narrow, looking to attack the centre of the penalty area and compacting the space by bringing the attackers closer together to combine. However, Leeds are currently attempting to do that with players who are not only used to playing wide because they were set up to do so under Bielsa, but also because it is their natural tendency to do so, having played as wingers for all of their careers.
This means that at times, Leeds' attacking has looked ineffectual under Marsch, as it did in the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night. Marsch was asked about Raphinha after the game, after the Brazilian had struggled to have an impact at Selhurst Park.
