Former Premier League midfielder Darren Ambrose believes the majority of the blame for Leeds United’s poor season has to be laid at Marcelo Bielsa’s door. The Argentine left Elland Road at the end of February with the Whites in freefall in the Premier League table.
Jesse Marsch was initially able to stop the rot but saw his side drop into the bottom three following the 2-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. Leeds desperately need results in their last three games to escape the perilous situation they have found themselves in.
After gaining plenty of plaudits last season, the high-intensity, high-risk style preferred by Bielsa came under heavy criticism this term and was the main contributor to the club’s shocking goal difference (currently minus 35). Ambrose believes that unsustainable defensive method is the primary factor behind Leeds being in relegation trouble.
