Crystal Palace 2-1 Leeds United: Bunched up
Afterwards, Marsch tried focusing on the positives, repeating his recently acquired rhetoric that this is a young team and he loves the players. In attack, I'm not sure that it was Bamford or Rodrigo's youth that was the problem.

Southampton 2-2 Leeds United: Wave machine
