Stuart Dallas has established himself as an important player for Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United.
Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has spoken highly of Stuart Dallas to Leeds Live.
Bielsa has been impressed with how Dallas has developed and added versatility to his game.
The Northern Ireland international is a winger by trade, but the 28-year-old has been deployed as a full-back and played in a central midfield position against Preston North End this week.
Bielsa raved about Dallas following the game against Preston, and hailed the former Brentford star for his continual development.
Bielsa told Leeds Live about Dallas: “He’s a player who develops every day a little bit more. Because Shackleton is injured, Forshaw is injured and he had to play as number eight and he never played this position.
“We didn’t have a chance to prepare him as number eight, prove him. Klich was playing as number ten, Shackleton and Forshaw injured, so Dallas is playing as number eight.”
Important player for Leeds United
Dallas is a very good player who knows the Championship inside out, and the winger has proved himself for Leeds over the years.
There have been injury concerns, but when fit and available, the winger has done his best and has worked hard.
According to WhoScored, the 28-year-old has scored one goal in 13 Championship appearances for Leeds so far this season.
During the 2018-19 campaign, Dallas made 12 starts and 16 substitute appearances in the league for the West Yorkshire outfit, scoring four goals in the process, according to WhoScored.
