Bielsa told the official Leeds YouTube channel about Dallas: “Their performance has not been at the same level as last year. But there are reasons to understand why this is not so.
“And every game he plays he’s playing a little better than the last.
“I am convinced that this Saturday, or the following Saturday, or in a short period of time, he will return to his high level. It’s not that I trust, it’s that I’m sure.

To improve
Dallas is one of Leeds’ best players and one of the first on the squad sheet when fit and available.
The Northern Ireland international helped the Whites get promoted to the league and then ensured the team had a great Premier League season.
As any player does from time to time, Dallas – who is a very versatile footballer and can play as a winger, winger, midfielder or full-back – is going through a rough patch.

The Leeds No.15 has provided an assist in five Premier League appearances so far this season.
The former Brentford star scored eight goals and provided two assists in 38 Premier League appearances for Leeds last season.
Leeds head coach Bielsa clearly has confidence in Dallas which must be very encouraging for the 30-year-old Northern Ireland.
