According to BBC report Leeds United’s shortcomings and Norwich’s secrets, Bielsa’s similarities in what we learned from Daniel Farke……

“We have a busy week with three games in six days,” said Farke. “In general, I’m not a friend of rotating too much because this sometimes breaks the rhythm a little bit, but I’m always thinking about one, two, three positions.

“This is a healthy number, but we definitely won’t change all 11 players. That’s definitely right.”

United’s strength in depth, improving injury picture and intense schedule flagged tomorrow’s trip to Hull as the ideal match for mass rotation. There are alternatives to Sunday’s starters in virtually every position, but the manager made it very clear what we should expect in East Yorkshire.

With the transfer window out of the way and Farke more established at Elland Road, there has been more space for questions about his previous Championship triumphs with Norwich City. Inevitably, that success is going to be used as a benchmark for everything he does with United.

On Tuesday, there were two separate questions about comparisons to his time at Carrow Road. The second of which centred on the slow start of 2018/19, when the Canaries picked up just four points from their opening five games.

Farke was asked when momentum becomes important and when there might be a time to worry, but he looked back on how he and his Norwich players never really focused on the table.

“The key at Norwich, and it was twice, was we were never looking and [being] obsessed with the table,” he said. “We were never talking too much about promotion.

“We were not scared of it and we were allowed to speak about it internally, but we were not obsessed with it. This was also not our topic when we prepared for the games.

“[It was] more like we’re playing for three points because it would improve our position in the table.”

Whether it is intentional or not, there are hallmarks of Marcelo Bielsa in some of the comments Farke has been making since he arrived. On Tuesday, he talked about sticking to your tactical guns, win, lose or draw, and not changing with the wind because that would have players questioning the plan in the first place.

“It’s a sense how this game should be should be played because there’s no right or wrong in football,” he said. “Everything is allowed and you can be successful with attacking football, you can be successful with parking the bus and then trying to be pragmatic and hope for a deflected strike.

“It’s more important you choose your way and you’re not like a flag in the wind after a setback. You change everything and then, after another setback, you change everything in the other direction.

“It’s important you have to choose which kind of football you want to send.”

There was also an admission we should expect to see senior players topping up their minutes with the under-21s, as Bielsa used to, as well as a long speech about fans being more important than anything else in the sport. While the football backs up his mantra, it’s plain to see why supporters are falling for Farke.
