Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United failed to win against Derby County on Saturday.

Leeds United manager

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that the first 60 minutes against Derby County at Elland Road this afternoon were the best during his time at the club.

Bielsa was appointed the Leeds head coach in the summer of 2018, and he has said that the first hour of the Championship game game against Derby was his best at the Whites so far.

However, the Argentine is not pleased with his team’s shooting, saying that it was worst against the Rams, as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Bielsa told Leeds Live: “We shoot a lot of times. What has happened a lot of times to us.

“Today was the worst because they shoot once in all the match and after we create between 10 and 12 chances. Today, we play 60 minutes very, very good. The best 60 since I came here.”

Disappointing result for Leeds United

Leeds were the better team against Derby, but the Whites failed to take their chances.

Mateusz Klich failed to convert a penalty, while Patrick Bamford could have scored two or three goals had the striker been able to take his chances.

According to BBC Sport, Leeds had 63% of the possession, took 13 shots of which five were on target, and earned eight corners.

Although the home team created chances and were always on the front foot, just like in some other games this season, they failed to convert them and have dropped two points.
