'Breath of fresh air' - TalkSPORT pundit launches defence of energetic Leeds United

The Whites have been involved in some of the most high-scoring matches in the top flight this term, and have garnered a reputation for their entertaining performances and relentless style of attacking play.

The results of Marcelo Bielsa’s unique tactical approach have been borne out in their league standings too.

Leeds are currently 10th in the table, 17 points clear of the relegation zone, but also have one of the leakiest defences in the Premier League this season. Only West Brom and Crystal Palace have conceded more than Bielsa’s side.

Speaking on talkSPORT, however, O’Hara revealed that he has been enamoured with the Whites’ refreshing assault on the top flight.

He said: “[They have] So much energy.

"They’re full of energy and full of belief – belief in themselves, in the manager, and how they play.

"It doesn’t matter if they go 1-0, 2-0, even 3-0 down, they just carry on playing the same way.

"Some games they’re going to lose because teams will find a away to get in behind the back four that they play.

"Man United showed that you can really hit them on the counter-attack and hurt them, but they have been a breath of fresh air.

"They’re so enjoyable to watch.”

As well as sitting in the top half of the table, Leeds have vastly outperformed their newly-promoted peers, Fulham and West Brom, this season.

The Whites have amassed five points more than their two former Championship rivals combined since the beginning of the campaign.
