Manchester City 7-0 Leeds United – good day, bad day and awful day as Marcelo Bielsa’s squad argument weakens
Leeds United arguably hit their lowest point since promotion to the Premier League with the 7-0 loss at the hands of Manchester City. infoguidenigeria
It wasn’t at the hands of bitter rivals Manchester United, at least, but the drubbing came thanks to what Marcelo Bielsa said was the worst performance from his side in four years. And given the context of a season that has been more of a struggle than their first crack at the top flight in 2020/21 and an ever-increasing injury list, it was a hard one for anyone to take.

The youngster has struggled with niggles and knocks on a regular basis, which has undoubtedly hampered his progress. Starting against Manchester City will have been a daunting prospect but a challenge and an opportunity to relish. He’s already surpassed last season’s Premier League minutes but at a time when so many are out injured, the sight of him limping off in the first half was a frustrating and bitter blow for club and player.

Marcelo Bielsa
Report from yorkshireeveningpost.co has it that it’s the first time one of his sides had shipped seven goals and you could tell how much it hurt when he stood on the touchline staring ahead as his players trudged past him. His post-game interviews were as bleak as any he’s given in his time at Leeds and he refused to even attempt to draw anything positive from it. jamb result
He wouldn’t even talk about individuals You have to think there was a huge element of embarrassment for the Argentine and being responsible for that performance in front of a man in Pep Guardiola he evidently respects hugely will have stung a little more sharply. Nothing he tried worked, which must have felt harrowing.
Picking the whole club up in time for Saturday is a monumental task. Results like that, with so many key players out, weaken the argument for a small squad although as he himself said, who could prepare themselves for such a spate of injuries? Regardless of his current rotten luck with availability, a January signing or two now takes on real urgency.
