JESSE MARSCH: IT WAS A BIG POINT - Leedsunited.com 27/4/22
Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch spoke to LUTV following Monday’s draw with Crystal Palace.
The Whites head coach saw his side go five games unbeaten in
the Premier League with a determined draw against the Eagles at Selhurst Park.
Marsch gave his thoughts on the result and was again
impressed with the defensive display.
“To be fair to Crystal Palace, they pushed the game, they
came at us in a lot of different ways and were able to unbalance us.
“However, it was a night where we fought and we bent, but we
didn’t break, which is the big thing.
“We’re now two games without giving up a goal, we’re getting
more and more confidence with how we defend, especially in the last third, we
just need to be a little bit more dangerous and use the ball more effectively
in certain moments.
“We talked over the break about doing simple things a little
bit better and things were a little bit too static at certain times, but the
effort, concentration and defensive end of set-pieces was quite good.
“I don’t think the Premier League has ever seen a table look
so lop-sided in terms of games played, with teams having less than others, in
the 16 day break we were able to work on some things, but then we lacked game
sharpness and fitness, but overall it was a big point, a big defensive effort
and we move forward.”
