Leeds United under Marcelo Bielsa built a unique and enthralling playing style which was designed to play at a high intensity and with width. They would switch the ball from side to side with ease and at serious pace, not allowing for the opposition to get set. Under Victor Orta, Leeds spent a vast amount of money on wide players. This made perfect sense given the philosophy and ethos of Bielsa, which then made it an even more bizarre decision to replace Bielsa with Red Bull graduate Jesse Marsch. His style was narrow and the players struggled to adapt, which was to no surprise. Leeds now face a serious dilemma ahead of the new season, which kicks off in 25 days. Do they try and keep what they have or do they sacrifice one or two in order to try and bolster elsewhere?
