JESSE MARSCH: I FEEL LIKE WE WILL HAVE LEARNED FROM TODAY - Leedsunited.com 1/5/22

Head coach gives his thoughts on Man City clash.

Jesse Marsch gave his thoughts to the media, after seeing his side defeated at home against Manchester City.

The Premier League’s table-topping side showed a clinical touch at Elland Road to score four goal and take the three points, but the scoreline didn’t tell the whole story of the game.

The Whites had chances throughout and for large parts played well against the visitors and Marsch feels the performance pleased the supporters, despite the result.

“Our fans were outstanding, I think the best performance of the night was our fans,” the head coach explained. The reason they were so into the match is because they could see we played well. Of course, 4-0 doesn’t feel good, but I don’t think it’s a 4-0 match. I think we had some big chances at different moments and we contained a lot of the things they tried to do and a lot of their really good players, in a lot of moments in the match. On another day, if we can find a way to get a goal at 1-0 or 2-0, we can make the game a little bit more interesting. Before the match we said we wanted a good performance, and that’s what we have.”

Leeds United now go into the final four fixtures in a battle down the wrong end of the table, but the head coach remains optimistic given recent performances and results.

Marsch said: “I feel like this scoreline was worse than I wanted, but the performance was better than I wanted. In that sense, I feel like we will have learned from today and we’ll be able to feel like we’re moving forward and making progress. Against the next opponents we can play like this, play more confidently and go after games with and without the ball, better.”

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

Leeds United full-time apology, wantaway man's tunnel appearance and off-camera Villarreal moments — YEP 3/8/25

By Graham Smyth The YEP’s verdict and off-camera moments from Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Villarreal at Elland Road in the club’s penultimate pre-season friendly. Leeds United are edging closer to a Premier League return with just one more friendly left to play now that a 1-1 draw with Villarreal is in the books. It was far from a thriller at Elland Road but there were positives to take, particularly for two individuals involved in the Whites goal. It was far from a good day for others, however. Here's the YEP take on Leeds' battle with LaLiga opposition. Good day Joel Piroe Another game, another goal. The Dutchman knows where the net is and with no new number 9 in the door yet, Piroe has put together a good case to start up top against Everton if the need arises. Lukas Nmecha has also looked sharp but Piroe's status as the club's best finisher appears to remain untouched. It helps that he came back for pre-season in such good shape too, because he wil...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
