Leeds plummeted into the bottom three with an inexcusably poor performance against fellow strugglers Everton. From kick-off, the Whites looked devoid of idea's, disjointed in formation and rudderless at the helm.

The only goal of the game came in the 64th minute when Seamus Coleman's cross come shot whistled past Meslier from an angle that even Einstein would find difficult to work out. It was nothing more than the Toffee's deserved; they dictated the majority of the play, not allowing Leeds a solitary short on target all afternoon.

Leeds most entertaining move of the match came just before half-time when Tyler Adams assaulted Dwight McNeil. McKennie and Gnonto also got in on the act, before a mass brawl ensued. Their attempts for early baths were in vein however as the referee only dished out yellow cards to the American pair.

The final whistle came as a relief to many Leeds fans, who were subjected to 90 minutes of absolute garbage.

Marsch left 3 games ago. Are people still gonna blame him in ten games time?
He may not be entirely responsible but he is a major part of the season as a whole.
One of the biggest mistakes the club has made is appointing Marsch.

The even worse mistake was keeping him for aslong as they did.

An absolutely awful manager who will be remembered in the same category as Paul Heckingbottom and Dave Hockaday

There are much more important things in life to worry about.
Indeed Greene, going through a worrying period right now.

Do you remember the two championship seasons under Bielsa ? He was bemoaning the ' lack of efficiency ' in the final third after just about every game back then. Remember the mini crisis in the promotion season when Bamford had gone about 12 games without a goal, and people were saying that he was going to cost us promotion. There was a clamour to bring in Nketiah. This issue only improved in the first PL season back - when the likes of Harrison and Bamford were playing in front of empty seats. Ever since that first season in the PL it's reverted to business as usual - toothless in the final third. And that's using two different systems with two different managers - and both based on a pressing style of play.

And after those 4.5 seasons we are now on our third manager - and guess what, people are still moaning about how poor and toothless we are in the final third. Take away Raphinha's goals last season and we were down.

So what I mean is that people are blind to make Marsch such a scapegoat - three managers now have failed to deal with this problem. Yet the spotlight and scrutiny is never placed squarely on the recruitment efficiency at the club.

Very depressing.
It's all very well Bamford complaining about JM 's system but we're not playing that now and he was abysmal yesterday. His air shot defied belief.
We still have time to turn it around but things will have to improve dramatically otherwise we're sunk.
Which suggests that Marsch was a scapegoat for Orta and a few underperforming players - of which Bamford is a prime example. That guy has got too big for his boots given that he's a second rate footballer anyway. Get rid of him and Harrison in the summer regardless of which division we will be in.
