Martin Keown has claimed six Leeds players, including Matheusz Klich and Jack Harrison, are key to understanding what he has called ‘Bielsa’s code’.

Writing in his column for the Daily Mail, Keown was full of praise for the Whites, who once again impressed over the festive period with a 5-0 demolition job of West Brom.

And while Keown named the likes of Ayling, Phillips, Bamford, and Dallas as being vital for Bielsa’s men, he reserved special praise for the more attacking duo of Harrison and Klich.

“Klich’s movement is excellent. When building an attack, Rodrigo will drop deep to receive the ball and Klich will burst forward into the space he’s left behind, while Harrison will run inside as another central option at the same time,” Keown said.

“Harrison on the left wing is excellent with both feet, as he showed with his outstanding goal against West Brom. He cut inside and dribbled using his right foot, exchanged a one-two with Bamford, turned his man, then found the top corner using his left foot.”

Leeds face a tricky trip to Tottenham today but will be confident of upsetting the apple cart once again if they can get their performance level to match that of the trip to the Hawthorns last week.

Bielsa pretty much has his entire squad singing from the same hymn sheet and that’s what makes this Leeds team so exciting.

They’ve bought into and fully invested in everything Bielsa has brought to the table. Yes, the likes of Klich, Harrison, and Ayling are crucial, but then so are others such as Alioski.

Leeds have been superb and you wouldn’t put it past them to see off Spurs today.
