Former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard believes there is a possibility Leeds United would have lost that game against Crystal Palace on Monday under Marcelo Bielsa. The Whites held out for a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park after failing to create anything of note in the final third of the pitch.
Jesse Marsch’s side have now picked up to back-to-back clean sheets in the Premier League following on from their 3-0 win at Watford earlier this month. That was the first time since November that Leeds managed to keep their opponents at bay in what is a crucial period of the season.
So far under Marsch, Leeds have become a more resolute outfit in defence, though their fluidity in attack seems to have relinquished a little bit. However, speaking on the Premier League on NBC Podcast, Howard thinks it is a good sign that Leeds managed to come away with something even when not at their best.
