Is it just me or is the more quality this season in the relegation favorites than there has been in recent history? There are players I would take from any of the bottom six or seven clubs (maybe not Bournemouth) and I don't think I'd have said that a couple of years ago. It's good to see more quality in the league as a whole.

Aye, that's the big problem. No matter how much their attack improved, their defense has looked poor. -

Definitely; it's just the timing I find odd. Why do it right after a relatively busy transfer window? Either give him a couple of matches to show the players he's brought in will fix things or sack him ahead of the transfers? Or don't let him spend a bunch of cash? It just seems strange. -

Don't necessarily disagree with parting with him, but the timing sure seems strange to me. Leeds have taken only two points from their last four matches, but have a significant edge in xG in each of those matches. Chances were abundant, they just couldn't finish. Not sure that's on the manager. Leeds haven't looked overmatched the way that Everton, Southampton, Bournemouth and a few others have looked. But some kind of a change was probable necessary.
