1. Bielsa’s boys can’t defend: In their last five games they’ve concede 21 goals and from the xG stats they should have conceded 13.21. That second number is still bad but it just goes to show you how many defensive errors Leeds are making, even if they have had defensive injuries to deal with. They have let in four against Man United, six at Liverpool and four at home against Tottenham in the space of six days. Bielsa will never change his approach and this past week was demoralizing for everyone connected with Leeds. Their upcoming games against Leicester, Villa, Norwich and Wolves are crucial if they’re going to push themselves away from the relegation battle. The good news is that those teams don’t have attacking talent like United, Liverpool and Spurs. The bad news is that Leeds’ confidence in what they’re doing looks totally gone.
2. Kane, Son set new record: The record-breaking goal
