Leeds United weren’t at their scintillating best against Bristol City on Saturday.

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa watches on during the first half

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa spoke to reporters after his side’s 1-0 win away at Bristol City, and shared something about their performance that he was not satisfied with, as quoted by Leeds Live.

The Whites currently sit in second spot in the table, just two points adrift of league leaders Norwich City, and they have every chance of earning promotion back to the Premier League this season.

Leeds have been mightily impressive on the whole this season, with Bielsa implementing a wonderfully exciting brand of exciting, attacking and free-flowing brand of football at Elland Road.

The Argentine is an extremely hard taskmaster, and he told reporters after the game at Aston Gate on Saturday why he wasn’t entirely happy with Leeds’ performance as a whole, as quoted by Leeds Live:

Marcelo Bielsa, manager of Leeds United looks on during the Sky Bet Championship between Bristol City and Leeds United at Ashton Gate on March 09, 2019 in Bristol, England.

“In the last 20 minutes we didn’t have the ball. The opponent played in our box with aerial balls. In the box the possibility of making a mistake is higher. We would have wished to create more danger in the last 20 minutes of the game. We couldn’t launch counter-attacks and the feeling that it was a 50-50 game increased.”

Leeds face a trip to Berkshire to take on Reading tomorrow night, and they will be hot favourites heading into the game.

Bielsa will be hoping to see his team demonstrate more control throughout the entirety of the game against the Royals, however, as the Whites look to cement their place inside the top two.
