Welcome back guys! Today we’ll be taking a look at Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds united and how the Argentine manager has established them as a good Premier League side.

We’ve seen a trend in recent years with teams getting promoted from the Championship and performing well in their first season in the top flight. Last season, Sheffield United finished 9th, the season before that, Wolves finished in 7th place and even the season before that, Newcastle United finished in 10th position. All those teams sat deep, looking to be defensively solid before counter attacking - a sound strategy.
But this season Leeds United are on for a similar top half finish, the difference being they definitely don’t sit deep and play traditional, counter attacking football.
it’s important to understand Bielsa’s principles of play.
We took a more in depth look last season, and that video will be linked above, but in short: Biesla’s teams are usually based around a 3-3-1-3, with them either starting in that shape or transitioning from another formation into Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 when they’ve got possession. El Loco is a huge fan of man to man pressing and his sides adopt an extremely aggressive variant, with Bielsa keeping just a single spare or safety player in central defence.
► CHECK US OUT ON TWITCH: bit.ly/SMDTwitch
So when facing a single striker like in a 4-3-3, Bielsa will adopt a back four so his centre backs outnumber the striker whilst when facing two strikers, the Argentine will use a back three, again outnumbering the forwards.
As you can imagine, Bielsa has imprinted these principles onto his Leeds United side, but given the preference for single striker systems in the modern game, we’ve mostly seen Leeds setup in a 4-1-4-1.
They’re quite literally the most aggressive pressers in the Premier League, with only Wolfsburg (56.4) making more pressures per 90 across Europe’s Top 5 Leagues this season (51.9).
► JOIN PATREON: bit.ly/StatmanPatreon
If Leeds can’t regain possession through their counter press they drop into their man to man duties, but they constantly apply pressure to their opponents.
Because of this pressing style, Leeds’ defensive block largely depends on the opposition’s shape as Leeds match them up. If they’re facing two defensive midfielders, say in a 4-2-3-1, Leeds’ central midfielders will push up and their shape will resemble a 4-1-4-1.
Whilst if they’re facing just one, like in a 4-3-3, Leeds’ shape looks more like a 4-4-1-1.

In their match against VIlla Leeds were up 3-0 in added time, and still counter attacked with 7 (!) men !!
Most entertaining team in world football in terms of goalmouth action
Oldham Athletic have scored 90 goals so far this season with unbelievable creativity in which each were scored, no two goals alike.
Yes and 10 of them goals came from young mcalmont the young Leeds centre mid

@@cockoffgewgle4993 well you gotta deal with it then
Amazing to see that Frank Lampard has watched this video 19,000 times in 3 days
And he still doesn't get it!
@@m3bmuadib Surprising, as he actually has an IQ of 150+.... 😲 😂

Bamford is the most intelligent player around. On and off the pitch.
What planet you on then.
@@davidswain8772 fyi Bamford was offered a scholarship by the Harvard
@@jerickalberca4503 Obviously not in goal scoring.
What's a scholarship at Harvard got to do with football and scoring goals........the mind boggles.
Congratulations on the effort to conduct an analysis of this level. Great job!
Love it Dave, thanks for this video. Really appreciate it, it’s been difficult to find good coverage of Bielsas tactics this season ☺️
All the way from Kenya, I never miss Dave's videos!
Ata mimi ndugu
Very in depth and much needed video.
Looking back on it - Bielsa played to win. The next coach played to not get relegated.. they then got relegated.
Flawless bro. Love when you work on different teams!
Good work 👍 support from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪❤️
This is superb analysis. Absolutely nails everything we do well or attempt to do.
Love the in depth coverage.
Much love from Japan!
I liked before even listening. Keep at it Statman Dave
Appreciate all the content over the last year
Keep up the Good work Dave!
CHEERS :)
Done statman clips subscribed congragulation on 1.8k subs already
Great video Dave you'll reach 250K subs in no time 👏
Man I love leeds and I love statman dave videos
If Liverpool were to join the Super League, I'd become a Leeds fan !!
Me leiscester
@Cameron Because they are right now the most entertaining side I've ever seen !!
@@QazwerDave Same, I love how Leeds play and they have incredible fan base, they are more entertaining than us ffs
Excellent content Dave, very enjoyable.
Great video dave for your next video can you do west ham or Roma this season thanks
Great video, Dave.
Wow what a banger of a vid 🤯
as liverpool fans i must admit, bielsa's leeds is amazingly entertaining football club this season. look forward for next season
Crystal Palace: Why must you do this to me?
Love the content ❤️
Yyyeeeesssssss
Ive been waiting for this
Wonderful analysis, but what shirt you're wearing. Haha Love it
Five games left. Possible 15 points. Top four. Fifth of we draw one. Sixth with a loss. Still possible European championship. Only hard game is spurs but after the month of hell . I'd say we can get some thing from them. The rest are very much winnable games.
All games are hard mate, there's no walkovers. We were terrible against a good Brighton side last time.
@@Lions4322 That was last time but honestly teams like that we should be beating. It's a possibility is all am saying.
@@MasterMind-ew5cs but that's where i take issue; Brighton are in no way deserving of their position. They should easily be mid table. Watch their games, Bielsa agrees.
Yeaaah All the way from Ghana
Leeds United this season is a mid table version of Liverpool 2017-18. All guns blazing, full attack, aggressive press, poor defence and very entertaining. In the last few games they have been better defensively
Great point of view I just want to add the poor defence tag is unjust as pre Xmas we didn’t have 2 fit defenders since the turn of the year we have hence the dramatic upturn and none of the big 6 beating us at Elland Road and only conceded 9 in the last 11 games. Having Llorente fit and Koch has made a difference
Yaaaas from South Africa
LETS GOOO
Yebo bro si la
GREAT VIDEO
So this is what the second channel is for 😂
Lets get this party started😁
First time I’ve seen this channel and subbed! I am a leeds fan and love how accurate this is. Only thing is the pronunciation of Struijk. I had to google it earlier today just to make sure 😂
Strowke
@StatmanDave do video who Man U should sign in summer
@statmandave why are managers so hesitant to change tactics. For example in the 2nd leg vs granada why not use a 433 or something to replicate what city uses if we see it work so well?
Not every team should copy city..
nice video
Nice. It's boring when we play Brighton though.
What time start?
I would be suprised if this Leeds team can perform to the same degree of intensity given that many high pressing teams only managed to succeed for 3 seasons
Ah come on now I’ve been waiting for a Tuchels video.
11 men behind the ball and bore your opponent's into submission
Bielsa warrant this segment since their first week back in the prem when they went toe to toe with the championships. Tuchel can wait a little longer. He's doing fine.
Great content delivered well; shame about the wardrobe malfunction.
Why do you have 2 channels? What's the difference?
Lets get this party started :(
Make a video on Thomas Tuchel Chelsea tactics
Easy, just hope Pep or Beilsa's Boys are having an off day... MOT alaw
will you made a video about superleague ?
Philips is what manchester United need at the base of their midfield
Leeds united?
@@unalx manchester. I'm correcting that
Pls tell me which app or software are you using for making this tatics video
Alright, what team would you love to see him manage ?
Leeds
Unless he is called for Argentina again I want to see him stay at Leeds.
Leeds will be top 6 next year
Where’s the shirt from Dave?
Ole is obviously watching this video
Everyone should play like Leeds sorry low blocks
Apparently bielsa got sacked because Leeds used too much energy for Thier playing style which led to energy drain and followed by massive dropped points
To prosper in the EPL using high energy football you need a massive squad depth
wanted this guy at united after moyes
Good to see Southampton in 2nd spot in regaining posession/90 through interceptions & presses....Dave Please make a video on how to improve Southampton...Transfers in & out
Dave looks a little bit like Andy Robertson here
Man city's tactics next?
One thing that they need to improve is when they need to press
No way they will stay fit across 90 minutes imo
They should learn by watching how liverpool or man city press😅
Wolfsburg, huh ?
Marcelo Bielsa

Who should United sign to play RW
Sancho
Pedro Neto
Pedro Goncalves
Raphinia from Leeds
Leeds need a new CB to partner Llorente, a new LW, and a better CM/CAM
Are Leeds United capable of applying the same next season, considering most of their first team are out on European international duty?.. No problem, Bielsa will just play his U23s!
. They ran away with the premier League b and should all be fit for the 1st part of the season!! MOT
The only sides a would pay to watch are leeds and united
Love the content, but if you call our God "Marcel Bielsa" again we've got problems lol
This many people want to get the party started.

Didn't cover how ManUtd got the better of Leeds in the first leg of PL

ALAW
I would like Man United to sign Raphinha from Leeds, i think he will help Amad Diallo so much in the future 🤔
Got a vid on the clips channel on him :)
@@StatmanDave i will make sur, i will watch it, really like Raphinha 👍
Oh please, not selling them to scums.
EDIT
We made a mistake with Cantona, never doing that again.
@@Paulkuriansunny lol, don't forget Rio Ferdinand, and Alan Smith, plus i'm not saying we are going to sign him, i said that i would like to have him at my club
@Sienna Mobbs well i didn't said that we will sign him, i said i would like to have him
Just a suggestion: if you tell people to subscribe, they are unlikely to subscribe. Rather say “if you like this video, please consider subscribing”.
Yup, People would never subscribe if they are repeatedly told to subscribe before you finish your video.
No way Chris Wilder finished higher in the table with lesser players and didn't get a "take the premier League by storm" video
Wilder's Sheffield United perfected a style that is mid table suited. As soon as he tried to transition the team into something more ambitious it crashed.
Bielsa's Leeds are playing a style that has top 6 quality. A style change isnt necessary, only personnel. With other words, this is non-perfected style which is leading to top 10 results and may very likely reach higher next season with better players.
pog
DOUBLE POG
Am I the only who think his shirt looks odd on both sides 🙄
If Bielsa's tactics have taken the PL by storm, wouldn't we be sitting in top 4 positions, be in the FL and FA Cup finals. Wouldn't we have conceded less goals and won more games that lost.........the mind boggles.
Im wonder why bielsa never manage top Europe team, even the likes pep learn from him
Hardly taken the Premier League by storm
Potter >>>> Bielsa
Hardly, but Potter has tremendous potential.
Am sick of the hype about Leeds. Just because they have lots of followers. People trying to make $$$$ talking about Leeds.
