Graeme Souness suggests Leeds United's malaise lies at Jesse Marsch's door

Graeme Souness says the Leeds United board have a right to ask questions over Jesse Marsch, after they slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Leeds have now gone seven games in the Premier League without registering a win and are only separated from the relegation zone on goal difference.

The Whites have signed no fewer than 10 players during Marsch's two transfer windows at the helm, and broke their club transfer record fee with the arrival of Georginio Rutter from Hoffenheim in January.

However, Marsch has failed to translate performances into results, with Leeds picking up just two wins in their last 17 league games.

Leeds supporters are losing patience as they head towards another relegation battle, and former Liverpool midfielder Souness insists it's the Marsch's responsibility to turn things around.

“I thought Leeds were disappointing. A lot of huff and puffing from Leeds but with no real end product. The quality just wasn’t there when it really mattered," Souness told Sky Sports.

“It’s great for Forest, they held on, they dug in, they didn’t play very well today, not by their standards at home, but they’ve got away with it. The board will look at it like this - we’ve now supplied the players, it’s up to you manager or coach, you’ve got to get wins.”
