Jesse Marsch 'clinging on' at Leeds amid 'codswallop' claim after Brentford draw

Martin Keown believes Jesse Marsch is 'clinging on' at Leeds United after they extended their winless run in the Premier League to six games with a goalless draw against Brentford on Sunday.

Leeds ended Brentford's three-match winning streak but failed to capitalise on a promising second half performance. The Whites arrested their run of conceding two goals in their last four matches, but sit just one-point above the relegation zone. Marsch has insisted that the club is 'moving in the right direction', but Keown has labelled those claims as 'codswallop', and warned that Leeds need to start accumulating results.

“I don’t see any game management,” Keown told Match of the Day 2. “I don’t see any control. I think the manager has got good characteristics.

“But when you don’t win games, it’s like codswallop, isn’t it?! It’s just baloney. We are just hearing this propaganda. It’s like he is clinging on.

“They need to get results. There is a message, all the interview from the players is the same, there is momentum. We are building. We are moving in the right direction. Two wins in 16 games is not moving in the right direction.”
