Pablo Hernandez's Leeds frustration explained as Mauricio Pochettino makes Marcelo Bielsa claim

Here is your Leeds United digest for Tuesday, November 3.

Bielsa on Hernandez

Marcelo Bielsa says he will not be talking with Pablo Hernandez after the Spaniard's show of frustration in Leeds United's loss to Leicester City.

Hernandez kicked a bottle after being replaced with the scores at 2-1 with Leicester going on to score twice more.

Asked post-match about his show of frustration, Bielsa says he will not be speaking to Hernandez.

He said: "I don’t think I will need to talk to him. The reaction he had after my decision to kick a bottle, what can I do?"

Whites player ratings

Leeds United's defeat to Leicester saw plenty of players put in below-par performances.

Whilst Beren Cross' Leeds Live player ratings did not place the blame on any player in particular, seven players were given 5/10.

The rest were given 6/10 in a disappointing night for the Whites.

Leeds will be hoping to bounce back against Crystal Palace on Saturday in order to enter the international break on a high.

Pochettino reveals what it''s like to work with Bielsa

In a glowing tribute, Mauricio Pochettino has revealed what it is like to play under Marcelo Bielsa.

The former Tottenham Hotspur boss played under Bielsa multiple times in his career and said his 'father figure' can have some demanding methods that make it difficult for some players.

He said: "It’s really, really, really tough to play under Bielsa. Today, the players, they for sure understand when I am telling you what I am telling you.

"It’s so tough, it’s very demanding, of course, he’s a really special man. The most important thing that people need to know is that he is very special.

"He’s a very different character, a different coach that believes in different ways to play that he creates his own methods to train."
