Only West Bromwich Albion have conceded more Premier League goals than Leeds United’s 33. Marcelo Bielsa’s team are running at almost two per game.
At the other end of the field, they are prolific. Only Liverpool, Leicester, Manchester United and Chelsea have scored more than their 30 and it could be argued that — at their very best — Leeds are better to watch than the last two on that list.
So how do we judge them? With some generosity, I think.
Bielsa has brought Leeds back to the top division after 16 years away and has decided not to take a step back to anybody.
