Leeds has never lost a league match by more than seven goals.
"It's a lot more noticeable how badly we played than how well City played," added Bielsa, who City manager Pep Guardiola regards as one of his coaching inspirations.
Three of the four sides below them in the table have already changed managers in a bid to boost their survival prospects. One of them, Newcastle, will also have the vast resources of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund to call on for reinforcements in the January transfer window. According to a report in The Athletic, a fixed price option in excess of £400 million can be exercised by 49ers Enterprises for full control of the club before January 2024.Bielsa has been hampered by injuries to key players all season. England internationals Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford, captain Liam Cooper and Spain forward Rodrigo were all missing from the side thrashed by City, while the bench had an average age of 19.
The intense physical demands Bielsa puts on his players are starting to show, not just on the injury list, but on from those fit enough to take the field.In his previous three jobs he resigned after the first game of Marseille's season in 2015, lasted two days as Lazio boss a year later and just 14 games at Lille. His stay at Leeds is already the longest at a club of his managerial career.
