Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has spoken to the media after his side lost away at Leicester City.

The Whites were on top for much of the match and had chances throughout to go ahead, but they weren’t taken, and the hosts did score in the second half.

Speaking after the game, Marsch gave his views on his first 90 minutes in charge.

He said: “I’m not saying we were the better team but in general I am very pleased.

“After four days and where we have changed a lot of tactical topics and changed a lot of what we are trying to accomplish, there was such clarity and we were able to put that into practice.

“What I find with this group, I know how hard they work and how committed they are to each other and want to make the fans proud, what I also learned today is how intelligent they are.

“For the most part, the basics were quite good, and for me if if we had found the first goal it’s a different type of match.

“After four days, to put in a performance like that at a tough place to play against a tough opponent, I am very positive.”

Marsch was then asked what he would look to work on next week ahead of the two home matches against Aston Villa and Norwich City.

“Every moment during the match I can see little bits where we can be sharper with or without the ball,” the head coach explained.

“It will be more about creating clarity now with the things that happen in the game, that can be tighter and better understood.

“But at the same time, really, in a tough moment in a big game where there is stress I thought their ability to execute was really good.

“There are so many little things happening on the pitch that can be a little bit cleaner, it will take time to implement it fully.

“These guys run and fight for each other so much, I am just trying to guide them now. If we keep playing like this we can get all the points we need.”
