For Leeds, Marcelo Bielsa seems somewhat of a chosen one. Failing to get promotion last term, he’s been given another chance after signing a new deal before the summer’s activity got underway.
Leeds fans love him and that was only emphasised in midweek after some rather baffling comments were made suggesting he should be replaced by Jose Mourinho.
Yet the Argentine doesn’t come without mistakes and some rather questionable approaches to management.
This is someone who has left jobs quickly whilst his Leeds team rather crumbled towards the back end of the 2018/19 campaign.
Bielsa is an interesting character but with the new season now in full swing, he must avoid sleepwalking into a big error.
Against Salford on Tuesday, he decided to play a number of his young players, handing opportunities to Leif Davis and Jamie Shackleton whilst also giving a first-team debut to Alfie McCalmont.
Yet, on the bench was Mateusz Bogusz, a player who despite scoring against Western Sydney Wanderers in pre-season has been absent from Bielsa’s selection in competitive action.
Before their Carabao Cup outing, the manager claimed that the Pole was near to the first team, hinting he could well be involved, saying: “Mateusz Bogusz will be inside the group.”
But despite being included in the matchday squad, he didn’t play a single minute.
Bielsa’s quotes, therefore, rather smell of false hope.

It looked as though the teenager may get an opportunity to feature but instead was ignored after being hyped up.
It was rather bizarre that he didn’t get a chance, especially with the side 3-0 up. Although it was positive that McCalmont got a taste of senior football, they must be careful with someone like Bogusz, particularly with the talent he possesses.
It’s all well and good suggesting he’s close to the team but he must give him opportunities.
It was a confusing statement if you reflect on the fact he didn’t actually play and Bielsa must avoid doing something similar again if Bogusz is to flourish.
