"For me one of the most difficult things to neutralise from the opponents was how their two defensive midfielder play," Marcelo Bielsa said of the Leeds loss as quoted by Leeds Live.
"You watch closely in the first half, one of the biggest things for us was that we didn't manage to control Xhaka and Ceballos. In front of them Odegaard played, who is an offensive player.
"If Klich or Dallas had played against Odegaard before the game, neither Dallas nor Klich are defensive midfielders and Pascal [Struijk] can play in this position.
"In our team the defensive midfielder is the third defender. In our team, the two centre-backs and the defensive midfielder are the ones that defend the most.
"If I had interpreted that Klich or Dallas was our third most defensive player I think we would have had even more problems than we did. I think the biggest issue that we had was that we were not able to neutralise the circulation between the two centre-backs and the two centre-mids in the first half."
After beating Leeds 4-2, Arsenal have leapfrogged them in the table by 2 points, sitting tenth in the table. However, the Whites have a game in hand.
