Brentford manager Frank: Leeds not playing McKennie in right role

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has questioned Leeds' tactics as they look to avoid relegation.

The Elland Road club sacked ex-RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg head coach Jesse Marsch earlier this season.

Now ex-Watford coach Javi Gracia is in charge until the summer, with the club improving initially but falling back into old ways of late.

Frank told Premier League Productions regarding Leeds' 6-1 loss to Liverpool recently: "I think he (Weston McKennie) is too high,"

He continued. "I don't know exactly what they want. But there is no holding midfielder.

"You are playing against probably the best counter-attacking team in the world when they are on it. Then they can punish you, as they did."
