Neil Warnock spells out how Leeds United have changed since Marcelo Bielsa's exit

Neil Warnock said Leeds United are 'more organised' and less 'gung-ho' under Jesse Marsch ahead of their win over Watford on Saturday afternoon The Whites eased to a 3-0 win at Vicarage Road, making it ten points from their last four matches.

The run of good form has coincided with the departure of much-admired former manager Marcelo Bielsa and the arrival of Jesse Marsch. Former Leeds United manager Neil Warnock, who announced his retirement from management on Saturday, implied it was no coincidence.

Speaking on Soccer Saturday before the match kicked off, Warnock said: “I think they’re just a bit more organised aren’t they. They’re not so gung-ho and they managed to keep that consistency in a few games.

“But I think if Burnley win [on Sunday] there’s going to be a lot of people nervous, including the ones above Leeds – Brentford and people like that as well as Everton.

Third-bottom club Burnley travel to bottom – and seemingly down and out – Norwich City on Sunday for a 2pm kick-off. Norwich are currently on 18 points.

Burnley are on 24 points but have three games in hand over Leeds United, who have moved onto 33 points, with Everton on 28, but have played two fewer matches than Leeds.
