Stuart Dallas has been filling in at right-back this season and has been doing a brilliant job for his Leeds United manager
Marcelo Bielsa has spoken in awe of the ‘complete’ Leeds United player Stuart Dallas, who he believes can play ‘everywhere’ on the pitch.
Dallas is a winger by trade, but during this campaign, he has had to fill in at right-back because of the injury to Luke Ayling, who has since returned from his lay-off.
Despite playing out of position, Dallas has impressed one and all with his performances and has arguably been Leeds’ standout player so far this season.
Speaking ahead of the Millwall clash on Saturday, Bielsa lauded Dallas’ abilities, especially from a technical standpoint.
“It’s not usual to find a player like that,” Bielsa told Leeds Live. “He can play on both sides, even if he’s right-footed. The agility of a winger, power of a defender. Technically, it’s a complete player. He has enough aerial play to play everywhere on the pitch. Even if he’s a player down the sides, when he has to play in the centre he has no issues.”
Leeds fans will be hoping Dallas can bring his recent brilliant form to the Den, where a tough test awaits Bielsa and his players.
Neil Harris’ side recently recorded a 1-1 draw against Luton, but like every Milwall side and every game at the Den, it is going to be a tough encounter.
There could be the possibility that Leeds go into the international break sitting top of the Championship table, but they will need to win and current table-toppers Swansea City will need to drop points.
