Jesse Marsch told pressure is growing on him amid Leeds United warning

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has been sent a warning that he is under growing pressure after his side's defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.

Pascal Struijk's early goal gave the visitors the lead after just nine minutes but Palace fired back quickly with striker Odsonne Edouard's header in the 24th minute.

Eberechi Eze found the match winner with 16 minutes left, securing all three points and condemning Leeds down to 14th as their good start to the season and the momentum that came with it begins to fade.

Speaking on The 2 Robbies podcast, Robbie Earle sent Marsch a warning but did give hints as to why they could start to move back up the table.

"It was not a good day for Leeds at all - maybe a little bit of pressure on Jesse Marsch now as they need to start putting some wins together.

"Despite playing well, and I thought they actually started really well, they fell off a little badly and again they've got to get Bamford fit and scoring goals if they're going to move up the league."

Robbie Mustoe then gave his own thoughts about the nature of the league at the moment and how hard it can be for teams to bounce back.

"At least he's starting Rob - Bamford's back, Rodrigo is back, he's got most of his players back now so he should be able to kick on and get some results.

"Yeah, it's tough but that's the Premier League! It's a tough, tough league and he'll find out, of course, now that all the Premier League games - when you think about it - will be hard, it's an incredible league.

"Look at Leicester, they were brilliant one week and bottom-of-the-league the next with the talent they've got. It's [the Premier League] producing really good games of football every week that we're loving right now."
