While Leeds United have enjoyed a successful start to the Championship season and sit at the top of the table after eight games, few fans believe that Marcelo Bielsa's side are fully clicking yet.
Saturday saw more points dropped at home in the 1-1 draw with Derby County, with the main issue again centring on the lack of efficiency in front of goal.
Patrick Bamford has started up front in every Championship game so far this season, but has not scored in his last three matches, while Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah lurks on the bench.
That has led to calls to start the England under-21 international, but Bielsa has so far held firm and in his Thursday press conference explained his thinking.
"Patrick gives things to the team Eddie can also give. Patrick is a goal scorer, Eddie as well. Their difference in style is not too big because both of them can fill the position with the same efficiency.
"Patrick’s initial advantage over Eddie is he has more time with us, more experience and he is older than Eddie. What you are talking about, this polemic, is one of the things supporters like and the press like as well.
"If Bamford doesn’t play, you will ask why Nketiah does play, and if they both play you ask why Klich or Forshaw doesn’t play.
"It’s difficult to answer this polemic. This talk about different situations and that is fair and is nice. Sometimes, the reality offers space for this polemic. Sometimes this polemic is over the reality. What nobody can complain about is the winning."
