da stake casino： A number of Leeds United supporters were baffled by one change Marcelo Bielsa made during the Whites’ 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Indeed, the substitution was quite a strange one as the Argentine opted to bring Liam Cooper on for Helder Costa with the game deadlocked at 0-0 with just 15 minutes to go.

With the game level at one apiece, the match was there to be won by either side.

With only a small portion to go in the game, he thought it best to make a change at the back.
Cooper came on at centre-back, while Luke Ayling moved out to the right, which allowed Stuart Dallas to push further forward.
In the end, this switch didn’t come off as Leeds drew 0-0 with the Owls, but this substitution is telling of one man’s current situation at Elland Road.
Clarke ignored
The fact that Bielsa trusted Dallas, who’d played 75 gruelling minutes at wing-back, to have a greater effect going forward than a fresh Jack Clarke just shows how much Bielsa doesn’t rate the teenager at the moment.
Why being the away goalkeeper at Leeds is the toughest job in football in the video below…
This was a game that Clarke really could have proven himself, especially given the three goals he contributed to from the bench in 2018/19. A record like that could have been ideal in such a tight game.
Late on with the scores level you’d want a tricky winger coming off the bench, but instead, Bielsa opted to stick a defender higher-up the pitch – rather than a player of a more attacking nature.
If the 18-year-old is behind Dallas in the pecking order when it comes to playing on the wing, what chance has he ever got of getting a game this season?
After all, the teenager has been neglected already for large parts of the term, failing to feature in the league whatsoever.
This decision only showed the lack of trust him.
