Jesse Marsch's first five fixtures as Leeds United manager have seen a decent points return as the seven points picked up have seen the Whites hit 30 points and establish an eight point gap between themselves and the relegation zone. Performances have been improved - the 3-0 loss against Aston Villa aside - however, there is the sense that on a tactical level, some of Leeds' current attacking players aren't suited to the way their new manager is asking them to play.
Under Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds primarily attacked with width as they looked to overload the flanks and get the ball into the box from wide areas. Marsch prefers a narrow formation, primarily a 4-2-2-2, with the idea to overload the centre and attack the middle of the opponent's penalty area vertically.
The problem Leeds have currently is that the squad was built with Bielsa's attacking style in mind. Therefore, Marsch is trying to build an attack made up of four central attacking positions, using only one natural central player, in the shape of Rodrigo.
