da premier bet： The Yorkshire Evening Post’s chief football writer Phil Hay has put together a Championship squad and manager of the season, and while some Leeds United fans may be surprised that he has snubbed Marcelo Bielsa and opted for Norwich City’s Daniel Farke instead for the latter, he is absolutely spot on.
What’s the word, then?
Well, with the international break in full swing and with just eight fixtures of the league campaign remaining, Hay decided to pick an 18-man squad of the best performing players from this term in England’s second tier, accompanied by the top boss in his opinion.
Given he covers the Yorkshire outfit and generally how easy they have been on the eye throughout the season as they have challenged at the top of the table, it wouldn’t have been any surprise if the Argentine got the nod even if their form has dropped off slightly in recent months.
It was one of those managers who finds himself above the Whites in Farke who was given the accolade though, and it is the right decision.
Why?
Not many people would have chosen Norwich, Sheffield United and Leeds as the clubs fighting for automatic promotion at this stage of the campaign if asked in pre-season, but that is exactly how it has panned out.
Are Leeds set for another spectacular fall from grace? Ingood Nick believes so in the video below…
While Farke has had longer at Carrow Road than the South American has had at Elland Road having been appointed in 2017, he had to deal with the loss of James Maddison, Josh Murphy and Angus Gunn in the summer.
Despite those exits, the Norfolk-based outfit have been playing some outstanding football and have netted 77 goals so far – 14 more than Bielsa’s men – and the German deserves the recognition from Hay, who obviously still has great respect for the experienced man in charge at LS11.
