Leeds has downshifted in the last 5 or 6 matches. I wonder if this is an adjustment by Bielsa: control the ball more, work the lateral passes, find openings. They still attack verticay but not with every attack like earlier in the year. Or if the players simply can't keep the pace. Bielsa has also definitely gone more defensive in his philosophy. Personally this is disappointing for the entertainment but it is not only the right move it shows he is willing to adapt. Man I love this team. Need a better 8 but otherwise happy.

Thankfully, he will push for better as he knows having a team in this league means you are either improving or you are failing.

If you, and the others that believe the defence is fine, don’t want to be upset by the facts, then don’t engage in this particular debate. It isn’t edifying to be throwing insults like “moan, moan, moan” at opinions people hold around wanting their team to improve further.

When you have momentum, and a manager like Bielsa, you need to make the most of that narrow window to be the best you can be. That’s all we want.

About 20% of those have been from corners.

Its an unusually high number, no escaping that imo.

Maybe you missed Cjay’s post Rab, but those stats put us well outside the “normal” range of concessions off set pieces, and especially corners.

What doesn’t show in the stats is how Fulham could have been 3-1 up at halftime due to the mayhem that broke out from deliveries into our box from corners. Only for the excellence of Meslier we would have squandered our deserved lead.

It isn’t just headed goals that count from corners. Our inability to clear our lines sets up the volley or toe poke on goal as the ball bobbles around our box. It’s just unnecessary and amateurish.
