Messages to Leeds United’s boardroom on the dressing room’s Jesse Marsch stance did not come much clearer than last weekend’s at Anfield. Chief executive Angus Kinnear said the club’s top brass took a lot from the 2-1 victory, but the headline for those in power was the backing the head coach got from his players.
After a winless run of eight matches, including drab losses to Leicester City and Fulham, the pressure was mounting on the American, but players and board stood by him. The fruits of that support were borne out at Anfield.
The Elland Road supremo would also praise the overall running distance of the tea, Illan Meslier’s goalkeeping, Tyler Adams’s midfield dominance, Rodrigo’s goal record and Crysencio Summerville’s tentative progress.

Writing in Saturday’s Bournemouth programme, Kinnear said: “There was much within the performance to be positive about: the team’s outstanding overall and individual running stats, Illan’s heroics in goal. Tyler’s dominance in midfield, Rodrigo building on his minutes-per-goal stats (that currently rank him in illustrious Premier League company) and the continued emergence of Crysencio Summerville, who we all believe can reward our patient development with much more than the occasional cameo.
“However, the most significant takeaway is the team remains all in and couldn’t have demonstrated greater commitment to Jesse’s leadership.”
