Bielsa: The fiasco against Manchester City was the worst performance in the last four years and we must not make the same mistake

Livestream on 17 December – Following a 7-0 defeat to Manchester City in midweek, Leeds United will host Arsenal, who have been in great form lately, at home for the weekend. For Leeds United boss Bielsa, there is still a lot of work to be done if the team wants to complete the relegation task this season.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Bielsa said: "(The defeat to Manchester City) was leeds United's worst performance in the last four years and we couldn't balance the game at any point. We give the impression that any offensive attempt will be stopped by the opponent. We have to look at what kind of mistakes we have made and then we have to eliminate them. ”

"We have to be self-critical and look for answers in ourselves rather than objective causes, which means we don't make the same mistakes over and over again." Always thinking about our own negative image doesn't help, but at the same time we can't ignore such things. The solution is in our hearts and we must put it into practice. ”

"The fiasco against Manchester City is not just another defeat, we have won two of the last 10 games, but we can always find a way to play in the face of adversity that is more favorable to us. Without considering the outcome of the game, you can observe the progress of the team more closely, look at it with a normal mind, and find the reason for the loss. ”

"Before the crushing defeat to Manchester City, we had the most productive period of the season so far. The 0-7 result will certainly have a negative impact and we haven't really learned from the loss as we've experienced similar fiascos since I've coached Leeds United. ”

"For us, every game is an opportunity to get us back to where we were before the defeat to Manchester City. Arsenal are one of the most prestigious teams in the Premier League and we have to show our best selves and not pay too much attention to them. The tenacity and strength of the players is related to their performance on the pitch. On top of that, against Chelsea recently, we played our best game of the season, but against Manchester City we showed the worst. ”
