Jesse Marsch changes backed as 'better' Leeds United face Aston Villa at Elland Road

I have to say I was impressed with Jesse Marsch’s impact on Leeds United after just four days in training.

Given the time that he had with the team, the change at Leicester City was marked.

There was clearly a hell of a lot of tactical work done in those few days to get his ideas across. Clearly there’s a lot more days of training to come so the lads can refine things but, as a first step of playing how he wants to play, I was impressed.

Some things are very, very different and some are similar. Overall, the balance and shape were good and we looked a lot more solid, which is the first thing that needed to be addressed.

What was interesting was how Raphinha and Jack Harrison were playing inside to out, in that 4-2-2-2, and, when we defended, the attackers split to become a solid four. We didn’t go instantly charging after the ball, we got set and then worked together.

Collectively, it was impressive. Everyone had a job to do; they all understood. Mateusz Klich was another interesting one up against Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - he tried to be a little bit more disciplined. He affected the game going forward but previously, under Marcelo Bielsa, he would have been charging forward. Everyone is being asked to do slightly different jobs.
