Marcelo Bielsa came under attack on Saturday night after injury ravaged Leeds suffered their second thrashing in four days. Fresh off the back of Tuesday’s record 7-0 defeat at Manchester City, the Whites were crushed 4-1 by Arsenal at Elland Road to deepen fears of relegation.
Afterwards, Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness blamed Bielsa’s tactics for Leeds playing like they were in the ‘school playground’, labelling their performance an ‘absolute shambles’.
But the Argentine was backed by the Elland Road crowd, who sang his name at the start and end of the match despite his side’s sorry showing.
