What happens next season is always unpredictable but he's a hero in Leeds at the moment for keeping them up against long odds, and they're already strongly linked to players (Aaronson and Adams) who'd be coming in specifically to implement Marsch's system next season. As far as "gone backwards since to took over", it's not even a matter of subjective opinion, it's factually absurd. 23 points in 26 matches under Bielsa and 15 in 12 under Marsch, with half of Bielsa's squad out injured for much of those 12 matches. You only have to log in to Twitter at the moment to know he's definitely not a 'hero' in Leeds at the moment. They're glad he's kept them up for sure but they are definitely not happy with his tactics and playing style. We'll see what he can add to the squad for next year but jury's still out for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the greatest barometer but yeah, Leeds fans ringing up talksport a couple of weeks ago saying sack him regardless of wether they stay up or not.

Marsch wasn't getting fired even if they went down - the club was very clear on that. As Marsch himself said after the match yesterday what they did since he got their was a "band-aid" (his words). One of the many ways Bielsa left behind a hopeless mess was his insistence on a tiny squad. By the time of the Brentford match half of Marsch's reserves were 16-18 year-old youth players who'd never appeared in a meaningful game. A few malcontent fans groaning about tactics are noisemakers, that's all - both the board and the vast majority of the fanbase of in Marsch's camp. Now, next year? Who knows. Claudio got fired half a season after the greatest triumph in football history, so no manager should be buying green bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be a definite improvement on last season, but you must be disappointed to end up finishing tenth. I am a little surprised how few goals you have scored with some of the players that you've got. Decent first half to the season. A great run in Dec/Jan/Feb, but we fell apart when we were 2-0 up at home to Leeds and ended up losing 2-3. Since then we've picked up 5 points up to the end of the season and thrown away a decent chance of getting into Europe. Plenty of fans want Lage out, but he hasn't been backed by the club at all. I'm on the fence about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care how he does. Just stating what the (limited) view of Leeds fans I've heard are saying. Regardless of anything else. The fans voice on a manager matters.

Sampson Posted 24 May 2022 Share Posted 24 May 2022 I mean it’s obviously a willy puller thing to do to use a fellow professional as a derogatory like that, but if it came from Kevin de Bruyne or Joao Cancelo they’d at least have grounds to talk down about him. Imagine being an attacking player who got 3 goals and 3 assists in a title winning team trying to “banter” another footballer by calling them Almerion though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's absolutely wanlered and he's not the sharpest anyway. Likelihood is he's mates with Mahrez and he found it funny.
