'No doubt': Robbie Fowler makes Jesse Marsch Leeds United job claim ahead of Liverpool clash

Former Leeds United striker Robbie Fowler has said Jesse Marsch's Whites look 'confidence-stricken' after their awful run of form has led them to 18th in the Premier League.

Fowler played 32 games for the Whites, scoring 14 goals and registering one assist and has spoken about the Whites' season so far ahead of their clash against another of his old clubs Liverpool this weekend.

Fans have been very vocal about Leeds' performances as of late, with many laying the blame on Marsch's doorstep and calling for him to be sacked.

Speaking to FairBettingSites, Fowler gave his thoughts about how different his former side's season has panned out from what he would've predicted at the start of the season.

"If you asked me at the start of the season I would’ve said that Leeds United would have been safe and fine but obviously they are in a difficult position. They can’t buy wins and are going through a tough time.

"You’ll find with football that if these results keep going against them then there is going to be a change in manager. There is absolutely no doubt about that because you wouldn’t mess with the fans.

"At the minute, it is looking incredibly tough and they have Liverpool at the weekend so you never know, but they are in free fall at the minute.

"Again we talk about owners and whomever to change anything but they’ve not been as good as I thought they would’ve been. When you look at the drive they had last season, they don’t really have that this season.

"People can say what they want about the manager and his tactics but it is still up to the players to go out there to perform. They have an element of duty and have to go out there with the right intention, but it might be a confidence thing at the moment, and Leeds do look confidence-stricken at the minute."
