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.
