Leeds Utd 1 West Ham 2

Vital Reserves Team
Leeds Utd cannot handle the physicality that teams brought to their A game to face them.
It is now a preferred weapon for teams facing Leeds Utd, as it almost guarantees points.
Teams were able to exploit the lightweight Leeds Utd rear guard by unleashing their speed demons on them.
Even Cresswell, with his physical attributes, had his work cut out, trying to stop a runaway refrigerator at full flight in the shape of Antonio.
And you always fancy the other team is going to score.
If it's not Antonio this week, its Saint-Maximin before that, with Adama Traore and Lukaku still to come.
Bielsa should have noticed by now, how easily Firpo was outmuscled by a more diminutive Salah or how Shackleton got spanned round by Antonio.
Bielsa must figure out ways to stop these runaway trains that are giving the backline a torrid time, week in week out.
And the midfield is not giving them ample protection by breaking up play early before they present as threats.
With the rear guard in overdrive, the losing streaks would sure to continue unless Leeds Utd could conjure ways to score more than they concede. Even then, it's a untenable option.
And Leeds Utd are not exactly prolific.
Although Rodrigo is in form, Bielsa had turned him from predator to provider.
His sense of goal has evaded him. Which leaves Raphina as the chief goal threat.
Bielsa must find a solution soon.
