Stuart Dallas is the ultimate dream for any manager.
The 28-year-old is as versatile as you can get, and simply gets on with whatever his job is. Even this season, in his total of 34 appearances across all competitions, the Leeds ace has played in five different positions – and they’re as varied as playing at right-back to attacking midfield.
On Saturday afternoon against Bristol City, Marcelo Bielsa gave him the left-back role for the second Championship game running, and Dallas rewarded his manager with an impressive performance.
As per Sofascore, he won six total duels, had three shots (one of which striking the woodwork), and created one big chance too.

After seeing his performance, Leeds fans took to Twitter to hail the full-back.
A couple of fans hailed the fact Dallas has brought some balance to Leeds’ defence, with one supporter in particular claiming that they feel “much safer with him playing”.
One Leeds fan meanwhile said that moving him to full-back has turned him into “easily Premier League quality”.
Having helped his side keep a clean sheet, it’s difficult to see how Bielsa can now drop him from that left-back spot. After all, you don’t try and change a winning team.
The reaction of some Leeds fans towards his performance on Saturday shows how much they rate Dallas, and how even they realise the kind of importance he holds in that back four.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
Dallas may be in it for the long-haul at left-back.
Meanwhile, Phil Hay has provided an update on the club’s proposed new training ground.
