Allardyce: I've got to work out why Bielsa is crazy

The recently-appointed Baggies boss is fascinated by the approach of the Whites coach, who deploys his team to all-out attack

New West Bromwich coach Sam Allardyce says he is yet to understand why Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is 'so crazy', but praised the Argentine for how he sets out his team.

Bielsa's Leeds have earned a reputation as the Premier League's entertainers - having conceded the equal-most goals in the division with 30, but scoring 25 of their own.

Speaking after the Baggies snared a point against Liverpool in only his second game in charge, Allardyce revealed his thoughts on Leeds' unique style of play, praising Bielsa's eccentric game plan as being fitting of the club he leads.
