Jesse Marsch knows he must strike the right balance at Leeds United’s Thorp Arch training ground over the next few days. The Whites are reeling after losing 1-0 to Arsenal on Sunday afternoon at Elland Road, a result that ensures the club now sit just a point above the Premier League’s bottom three.
However, there was plenty to like about the performance against the Gunners and it could be said that Leeds were dominant for large chunks of the contest. Ultimately, it never fell United’s way, with a first half effort from Bukayo Saka being the difference on a wild afternoon that included a power cut, play being suspended, a missed penalty and an overturned red card.
As such, it’s hard for Marsch to feel disappointed with his side’s showing, but he knows strides must be made this week both on the training field and on the pitch with games against Leicester City and Fulham to come.
